Journal AntiFreeze's Journal: Em Emalb 20

Journal by AntiFreeze on Monday July 07, 2003 @01:32PM

Em Emalb was my first fan, all the way back in September 2002.

Now the reason I bring that up, is because it took me until today (well, yesterday actually) to realize something. Em emalb is "Blame Me" backwards.

Anyone else feel dumb for not realizing this until just now? Or am I the last one to catch on?

Em, I don't blame you for anything, except the sometimes poor poll options :P

  Heh. Blame Him indeed.
  
  Nifty that someone feels me important enough to make a username and all that for it.

So don't feel bad. I remember the first time I heard anything about him was a comment about the "Emalb" household, so I thought that was just a strange last name, or something in those regards. I figured Em was a generic nickname, like "Auntie Em!" or such.

When it really comes down to it, though, I just suck.

    Yeah, next thing you are going to say your name really isn't Einstein.

      well, I keep on getting hassled by these men in suits and designer sun glasses who keep calling me Mr. Rishel, but I keep telling them to call me einstein. oh well.

  I figured the meaning of Em's nick around the FortKnox photo contest. So, yes, I might actually be a bit slow too.
  And Sam, honestly... I don't know why you call yourself "The Butcher", after all, serial killing is not part of your hobbies.
  Sincerely JorgTheButcher (in the serial-killer sense)

    Sam's website explains the butcher part. Or maybe its just a clever coverup to hide his true nature in plain daylight. :)

      It does? Hmmm... must have missed that part. It's been a while I was there though. Lemme check that out.

        It indeed states it. (And now I remember reading it) Still, there is no explanation of "why". Just to have a funky radio name? Or is there a deeper explanation. Just wondering, ya know. Not many people name themselves after a "Butcher" after all.
        But then not many people name themselves after sharks either ;-)

        I always just thought it was after Sam the Butcher on the Brady Bunch (old American TV show).

        Well, I've never seen that show, and thus I don't know that charcter. (I don't think that the Brady Bunch made it to Europe) Besides, he specifically states on the site that it's not the guy from the Brady Bunch. So, I thought it would not have been inspired from that.

        I would never have caught the "Alice the Maid" reference. Thanks for explaining.
        I usually use real names, well, only first names. last names are never mentioned. A first name is no good handle in google searches (or whatever you come up with)

  I had it, too, but my best friend and I growing up used to read everything backwards and say everything backwards as kind of a "secret code", so it's pretty much habit. As for FortKnow, that comes from video games. He is great at defending the base, so getting by him is like getting into Fort Knox. I don't know about the others.
  Mine comes from a sign in the movie "Hackers" in the background of one of the scenes that says "Trust your TechnoLust." I changed to it, because everyone on the entire freaking
