"Where does your name come from?"

I won't spoil anything for the person in question by saying how I found out where the name 'Armatige Shanks' comes from but I found out over the weekend and it's quite funny. I'm sure some of you will also know but that's not the point of this post.

My name comes from the Red Dwarf phrase 'Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast', but are there any other good reasons why people have the name they have here?

I thought I'd go for something original when I chose my name.

Then I gave up and used my initials.

Hey, but I was Pablo for a while, till I got bored with it.

So what's "shanks's pony" then?

What was that?... Sorry, I was little distracted... trying to come up with a new forum idea here....

Ahh... well... your too kind... really... but I havnt heard it called that for quite some time ;)

however enough about me... thats Slang for walking surely?

Here's a clue to someone's alias:

His Dad is an Ant
His Mum is an Ant

OK, so it's walking (thanks for reminding me)

What's that got to do with porcelain?

Walking to the bank probably. To meet Will the Banker.

Ant - I hope I am not in breach of the ant descrimination act.

Armatige - no slur intended, onee joking
