What's the origin of your username? Created 14 years ago2010-09-24 23:14:43 UTC by DiscoStu

It was also in another film about ancient greeks but I don't remember its name.

I read "another film about ancient geeks".

The film you are thinking of may be Clash of the Titans.

Yeah that one.

Kraken is basically this massive best Poseidon creates that could destroy the entire world if Poseidon or anyone else for that matter ordered him to. At least I think that's what he is supposed to be...

kraken, I order you to destroy the world. Go.

I picked mine a long ass time ago and I still like it so why change? Plus I know people get real confused/annoyed/enraged when you run around changing your name all the time.

I am a fan of Louis Armstrong.

This article may be of interest to you, Satchmo:

http://www.clinicaplanas.com/fundacion/articulos/articulo8/articulo8.htm

It outlines "Satchmo's Syndrome," so named because of a similar injury that Louis Armstrong, himself, sustained during his career, forcing him to sit out from playing for a year.

I'm a music student in my sophomore in college and I suffered a similar malady my last year of high school. This injury was on the lower edge of my upper lip, just left of center (where the mouthpiece rim rests). It became enough of a problem that I needed a surgeon to go in to excise the crappy bits and stitch the healthy bits back together, with some apparently good results. I think I have the surgery photos lying around somewhere, if you'd like to take a look at them (Hopefuly you won't be on your lunch break, either ). Neat stuff.

Anyway.. about my name.

I have a hard time remembering the actual origin of my name.. the only memories I have are of my brother and myself at young ages, stuck on long car trips, trying to entertain ourselves by coming up with as many oxymorons as we could. Rotator Splint happened to be (a crappy) one that stuck out in my memory, so when I registered, I chose it. I hate it now.

I usually set my Steam alias to "Aggressive Napkin" these days; yet an other nonsensical imagining after staring at a blank "Name:" text field for 20 minutes. At least that one is a little less bizarre.

How is Rotator Splint an oxymoron?

Rotator, implying movement, and then splint. A splint is used to keep something from moving/bending/rotating...

Wish I could, but the thing about that is; I'm actually not the Kraken, rather I just use it as an alias on the internet.

You just lost all your epicness points

saw1833: Yeah, but a splint could simply restrict movement in a certain direction while allowing for rotation... which I assume is what it does... but I don't know. A splint is just a support.

You can't make an oxymoron out of two nouns.
