When i was creating my id, i was seeing some pics and reading reviews of Nvidia 8800 GTX. I couldnt get the user name "Akshay"(which is my real name). The only thing that came to my mind was the 8800GTX. So i gave my user name as nvidia8800. :D

Mine is really straight forward,it's my first name & last name.Back then I was new to forums so thought it had to be something like your email ID's and stuff so picked this one.I want to get it changed though.

@Arvind: How exactly did you get your user ID changed? I got it done on TE forums but not sure how to do it out here.Buzz the mods or admin or something? :???:

well amol is my original name and hence it had to be in username for me. amol was not available and hence I had to settle for something else. 48 was my roll no in class 5th :D that time and hence i settled for amol48. Digit is my first forum I started with and that time I was new even to internet. Infact I remember it was the second site that I visited when started surfing internet for the first time :p.. yahoo was the first one :D

I really have no idea why I chose this name nearly two and a half year ago. To make it different than the original Crazy Frog though, i joined the two words and replaced C by a lower case k and made it krazyfrog.

After the ban i couldn't use this id. But since everyone knew me by this id, I decided to use this name for the new account but added a period at the end to fool the system. So now i'm 'krazyfrog.'.

Ha atlast!

I know my id is wierd. It kinda got no legible pronouciation. Actually I was fiddling with Yahoo for a id. Man, I got fed up after infinite attempts and nearly an hour for an id. What ever I tried, whatever bizzaire, weird, crooked, evil, good or whatever I tried, Yahoo said the id was already in use. In the process I tried LiveWire, LyveWyre, LiveWyre etc.. No use. Then I fused them both and replaced the is' with ys'. BINGO. Now I gotta get this id anywhere first attempt. Got this id on: Y!, GMail, MSN, rediffmail, meebo, ThinkDigit. And if you have any difficulty pronouncing, remember it is LiveWire :D

So Gas_Snake sounded like a completely Flatulent b@$tard so decided to go with the 4th state of matter. As for my avtar, well acc. to my sister, who saw the movie along with me, this Panda is just like me. Those meeting me in Delhi meet will be able to see and confirm it . :D

See how they run like 
pigs from a gun 
see how they fly

Mr. city policeman sitting 
pretty little policemen in a row 
See how they fly like 
Lucy in the sky 
See how they run 

I'm crying 
I'm crying, I'm crying 

Yellow matter custard 
Dripping from a dead dog's eye 
Crabalocker fishwife 
Pornographic priestess 
Boy, you've been a naughty girl 
you let your knickers down 


[b]I am the [i][color=green]eggman[/color] [/i]
They are the eggmen [/b]
I am the walrus 
coo coo c'choo 

Sitting in an English garden 
waiting for the sun 
If the sun don't come 
you get a tan 
from standing in the English rain 

[b]I am the [i][color=red]eggman[/color] [/i]
They are the eggmen [/b]
I am the walrus 
coo coo c'choo 

Expert, texpert choking smokers 
don't you think the 
joker laughs at you 
See how they smile 
like pigs in a sty 
See how they snide 
I'm crying 
Semolina pilchard 
climbing up the Eiffel tower 
Elementary penguin 
singing Hare Krishna 
Man, you should have 
seen them kicking
