catspaw: (mighty)

While procrastinating about -- something or other today, this thought popped into my head, as they tend to do when one's deliberately idling. What makes people pick their lj handles? Is there a story behind them, or a reason? Looking at my flist, I can figure out some of them, or at least make an educated guess but others of them puzzle me mightily.

So - would any of you care to share the reasons for your choices?



Cat's paw - a person used by another as a tool.

It seemed appropriate for a psuedonym - plus the pun appealed to me ;-)

It was a TOS ep, yes - although that didn't influence my choice (it was a terrible ep as far as FX went, even by the standards of the time *g*). And yes, yours was one of the ones I'd worked out LOL

The pics - hmmm. They didn't turn out that great, most of them are blurred beyond redemption :-( Not just the ones I took either. I don't know that any of them are salvageable, unless there's something really clever that photoshop can do with them - I'll have to ask skater. There is one good one though - I'll send it to you asap. But I'm having to rely on the ones you took, they turned out great :-)

God yeah, it was a dire ep wasnt it!!!

I'm quite good with PS too so I'll take a look. Skater sent me a copy of the one with Cliff and it looks like it could be sharpened a little but it's bot really that bad. Even without my new glasses. I'll see what I can do tonight when I get home form work.

Oh yeah, dire hardly begins to cover it - it comes in at number 3 on my list of worst ToS Eva.

Okay, I'll send you the lot then, shall I? Not just the ones with Cliff? Because if you could do anything to salvage any of them, I'd be very grateful! But if that's a huge imposition, let me know and I'll just send you the relevant ones :-)

Let me guess - Brain, brain and brain would be on that list too!!! LOL!

Yeah - send them all but even sharpening them up might not work. I can but try

It is, but it's edged out of the top spot by 'Return to Eden' and 'The Empath'. Worst. Episodes. Ever.

I don't know how old I was when I first saw The Empath but I loved it. I spent months fantisizing that I was an empath healing people, partcularly the guy I had a crush on.

Really? You liked that one? Just goes to show... Although I suppose the premise wasn't that bad, the *idea* of the Empath's abilities - but to me, it just seemed to be a big ol' non-story with a lot of gratuitous violence :-(

I'm curious though now *g* - what would you classify as your worst ever eps? Or didn't you have any? And what would you say were your all time faves?

Nosy bitch, ain't I? ;-)

Well obviously Tribbles rock.
And I like Spock in heat.
Oh and Henry Mudd, the one with all the clones where he ends up with his wife.
The one that was supposed to introduce a spin-off, I think I would have liked that spin-off.

On a related note, I loved when DS9 gave us the other perspective on the Tribble ep.

Ones I didn't like? The one with the planet eater. The one where Jim's friend had superpowers and Jim's headstone had the wrong name.

I suppose if we are to be married you need to know these things. ;-)
