It's available at any site, only uses two syllables, is easy to say, fast to write, doesn't use any special characters, may make you think "Bush? No!" (and I mean the former president, not what you're thinking), doesn't define anything about me so people shouldn't assume things, and... that's about it.

I'm assuming so much of you right now.

hey, Sand Canyon is a very popular meme in Japan (well, Niko Niko Douga, anywayz) :P

Anyhow, Sezaris is the name of a player character I played on a session of D&D. RIP Sez.

Quote from: temuchin
yes sirs, Temuchin Borjigin is the birth name of the man whom would later become known as
Cinggis Qayan (Mongolian for Genghis Khan).  Temüjin also written as Temuchin, literally
translates into "supreme being" in English.   there is some ambiguity on the spelling of his
name, but i opt for "Temuchin"; since one of the foremost Mongolian experts, Paul Ratchnevsky
does so in his German book, Cinggis-Khan: Sein Leben und Wirken (Genghis Khan His Life and
Legacy).   I own and have read the English translated text by Thomas Nivison Haining.

i also feel Genghis Khan was/is a misunderstood figure.  one on hand he was a tactical military
genuis whom valued loyalty above all else from his generals. he ruled through a meritocracy and
and learned from other cultures. ie. the Chinese.
on the other; well check out a famous quote regarding happiness:

"To vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those
dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters."   a man to admire.

note: 2006: was the 800 year anniversary of the formation of the Mongol Empire.

I would like to explain the meaning of his name for your further knowledge.
We pronounce his name Temujin. You may wonder what it means.
Temujin = Temur + Jin. > Temur means "Iron" in traditional Mongolian language, Jin means "man" and it was his born name. Temur (Tumur in modern Mongolian language) is quite common name as well as Smith
"Chinggis (Genghis)" was his title and it's considered possibly derived from "Tenggis" which means Sea and his son Ogodei later got a title "Dalai khan". Dalai means Ocean. Therefore "Khan" means King and that's that.

Borjigon is the name of a clan where Temujin was born in. Today over 70% of Mongolians claim they are from Borjigon. However clan names don't play any roles in our society, besides i happened to be not of them keke  :P (doesn't matter!)

I have not the power to do such a thing.
Besides, if I had the ability, I would ban everyone who is not a moron so I could have my very own playground in which to have fun.

It would be populated by Pharismo, bigotbi, OSMO, and Hanayome among a few others who are lesser known.

Also, believe it or not, I am actually a really nice guy. I just can never turn down a chance to make myself laugh.

Self-proclamation ftw! Cause we all know that was an unbiased statement.

I owned you.
You can usually see/hear this phrase from gamers. They say this when they have "killed" or "owned" or "pwned" someone. "pwned" is a mistyped form of "owned." Such mistake is common because gamers had to type REAL fast and the "O" key is actually right beside the "P" key. :)

I will try to help.

He got a staph infection and spread his diseased blood on a tree, after which he made a full recovery.  The tree died.  His friends, in awe of his mighty power, called him "General Staff", the ruler of staphylococcus.  He also happened to be on the staff @ a website.  I can read both English, and Bad English.  ^_^

Grammar is so over, froody.  Get with the program.  ;P
