    My first post on fanhome or basketballboards.net... whatever was first, was just going to be "Sheed is so nasty". Found out I had to register first and ended up using that as my handle as well.

    My last name is Frye. It's low-hanging fruit, but some old drug acquaintances would make predictable comments like "Fryyyyyyye, man lets dose!", "Frye...dude...let's get fryed," etc. Since I am myself 24/7, I used the obvious user name.

    Also, I'm a pro basketball player. I played for the Blazers from 07-09, making my mark as a legendary stretch 4/5. From that experience, I can say that Mrs HCP is some kind of lonely...

    Minor Alan Dean Foster character from the "Flinx" series.
    • If the inhabitants of UlruUjurr were an anomaly among intelligent races, then Maybeso was the anomaly of anomalies.

      Flinx In Flux

    • Like Maybeso, who could teleport when and wherever he wanted to but would not do anything on request and was probably insane to boot.

      Flinx In Flux

    • It was Maybeso, looking dour and distressed as always.

      Flinx In Flux

    • "Nobody knows where he comes from," Mourn said, "and nobody knows where Maybeso goes."

      Flinx In Flux
    • Flinx felt a warm thought flow over him like a bucket of hot water and then Maybeso was gone.

      Orphan Star

    • "Oh, there's no doubt about it," Maybeso told him in a dream-singsong, and winked away again.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I fear to consider what your actual name is, if Nikolokolus is the short and catchy version.

    I was Arizona Bay on O-live then BBNET (Obviously due to severe L*ker hate) but changed to Pro Fan after Bonzi Wells flipped off Blazer fans then called us, the fans, "unprofessional" during media locker room interview after the game. I was dumbfounded by the comment and still am

    I still can't believe I didn't get more appreciation for my "Crash Test Dummies" parody. I was pretty proud of that one. Oh well, no accounting for taste...

    I used to road race a Rotary engine Mazda RX7 16 years ago. Still have it in the garage. I added the 111 just for the hell of it. I never thought I would like the forum or I would have made something Blazer related.

    There used to be a magazine called Wizard, which was all about comic books. They had an online message board and I used to be a frequent visitor of that forum. I needed to come up with a username so I could post about nerdy things, so I combined the nicknames of my two favorite superheroes at that time. Anyone wanna guess what those 2 are?
