I'm guessing that he was a prima donna type when it came to his voice too, DAYV?

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

YES, AND TO BE HONEST HE HAD NO REASON WHATSOEVER TO BE THAT WAY. ONE DRUNK AND STONED ON CRACK PERSON TOLD HIM ONE NIGHT THAT HE COULD SING, AND HE BECAME AS TRUE BELIEVER IN HIS OWN VOCALS. HOWEVER, HE WAS THE ONLY BELIEVER.

Lethe - In greek mythology there were a number of rivers in the underworld. Lethe, translated "forgetfulness" or "oblivion" was a river that had to be crossed to get to elysium. The myth goes that when the shades of the dead (ghosts) drank from the river they forgot the life they were leaving so they could be at peace in the afterlife. Of important note is that when people were brought back to life (by gods for wars, etc) they had to drink from the river again to forget death and go back into life.

I really like transitional concepts like this. Its been my pen name for quite some time, and it seems fitting for a moniker on the web.

well my name has 2 meanings (or explanations)

Firstly, after seeing TPM thats all I wanted him to do

Secondly, it's a ribbing on an old Simpsons joke. I used to get alot of grief from Kids in Star Wars chat rooms who used to report me for wanting to kill someone ( JarJar) I would have to explain how ridiculous it is to chastise me for wanting a FICTIONAL character dead!! I would then pull out the final ace "It's actually German for the jar jar, the"

that would usually do thet trick & then leave me to fully rip the shit out of the pesky little varmint that had reported me in the first place!

On another note i have used this nickname since Ep1 came out in 1999 & have been a member of the Official Star Wars website since then & about 6 months ago noticed that my nickname upon log in HAS BEEN CHANGED WITHOUT MY CONSENT OR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE! Bastards!

Im now just plain old THE JARJAR

It's enough to want to comit suicide

Oh, you sorry, unlucky, bastard. I truly feel for you. I'd start a new profile over there if I were you. Actually, if I were really you, I wouldn't be posting there anymore anyway.

Literal-minded morons. I guess they didn't want anyone perceived as a Jar-Jar hater, eh?

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Yeah, I just picked this name on the spot, I'm sort of sick of it.

Is there a way to change my name without re-registering?

Why did you spell it differently than in the book, Shim?

But whatever you do, don't change your name to Onimi. That would be stupid.
