My name loosely comes from the creature that is my avatar from Final Fantasy III in the town of Zozo. Gobbledygook. I've used it for.. an eternity. I believe the first place I used it was on the GameStorm website back in the early 90's, Legend of Kesmai I want to say was the first game - Gobbledygook didn't fit so I shifted it around and a bit and ended up with Gabbelgak. I used it on every MMO I played (of which there was numerous) and love playing the "ugly" races like Orcs or Trolls so it always kind of just "fit" for me.

That's all well and good but you could have simply said "it's a reference to Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus Trilogy"

It is?? That book is mystifying to me, I bought it at a yard sale when I was a kid and it blew my mind, I'm not sure if it made any sense or not lol.

I haven't gotten around to reading them yet but they've been on my radar for over a decade.

From what I know "fnord" is a word that is hidden in texts that you are brainwashed as children by the Illuminati to not consciously notice so it works as subliminal message to make you feel nervousness and fear when you "read" it.

I love that whole Discordianism, Church of Subgenius type school of thought that the Illuminatus trilogy is tied into with, you say " I'm not sure if it made any sense or not" and well, that's kinda sums up the world we live in.

I really should finally read those books one day soon.

I have the trilogy in one collected volume, I literally bought it because it because the cover was trippy lol, I tried to read it but I got maybe halfway in and stopped. Maybe I'll give it another shot. But the description makes it clear this is going to be kind of odd lol:

The name Schrödinger's Cat comes from a thought experiment in quantum mechanics. The first book, The Universe Next Door, takes place in different universes in accord with the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics; in the second, The Trick Top Hat, characters are unknowingly connected through non-locality, i.e., having once crossed paths they are joined in quantum entanglement; and the third book, The Homing Pigeons, places characters in an "observer-created universe" in which Consciousness Causes the Collapse of the wavefunction.

Taking place in Unistat, which is the novel's parallel to the United States, the novels have intertwining plots involving a wide array of characters, including:...

You're not alone there - such an incredible series of books, though tbh I have a real love of Asimov's work in general. He's such a clever bastard. The spacer and settler books (with which of course it all merges in the later books in the series) are a hell of a lot of fun too. The ending of Foundation and Earth is pretty fucking unsettling though!

I started going by this username about six years ago. I think Melancholy is a pretty word and that's about it. Kind of edgy, but I still like it. Nowadays, though, my close friends call me Melon.

Melancholy
a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause.

I like nuts, it rolls off the tongue well and it allows for plenty innuendo in relation to the sucking of nuts.

Plus it used to fit back when it was cool to say outrageous shit and people didn't take life so seriously.

The Bloody-Nine they call me, my enemies, and there’s a lot of ’em. Always more enemies, and fewer friends. Blood gets you nothing but more blood. It follows me now, always, like my shadow, and like my shadow I can never be free of it. I should never be free of it. I’ve earned it. I’ve deserved it. I’ve sought it out. Such is my punishment.

I’ve fought in three campaigns. In seven pitched battles. In countless raids and skirmishes and desperate defences, and bloody actions of every kind. I’ve fought in the driving snow, the blasting wind, the middle of the night. I’ve been fighting all my life, one enemy or another, one friend or another. I’ve known little else. I’ve seen men killed for a word, for a look, for nothing at all. A woman tried to stab me once for killing her husband, and I threw her down a well. And that’s far from the worst of it. Life used to be cheap as dirt to me. Cheaper.

I’ve fought ten single combats and I won them all, but I fought on the wrong side and for all the wrong reasons. I’ve been ruthless, and brutal, and a coward. I’ve stabbed men in the back, burned them, drowned them, crushed them with rocks, killed them asleep, unarmed, or running away. I’ve run away myself more than once. I’ve pissed myself with fear. I’ve begged for my life. I’ve been wounded, often, and badly, and screamed and cried like a baby whose mother took her tit away. I’ve no doubt the world would be a better place if I’d been killed years ago, but I haven’t been, and I don’t know why.
 
As a teen I was into that stupid show called Criss Angel's "Mindfreak" where he would basically perform fake street magic, I thought it would be cool to use that as a nickname, now I mostly regret it but I'm sticking with my mistake lol
 
Kill an animal, clean an animal, eat an animal.

I opted out of showing a real picture of cleaning an animal. Though ridiculously common in the food industry. Some people are so far removed from how their food came to be they cannot handle the realities that took place to get their food.

I was a teenaged edgelord on IRC in 1997, my favorite movie was The Crow. That was taken, so I used a 0 instead. I've used it on and off since because I can't be bothered to come up with something new.

I love that you named yourself after The Crow, yet chose the dad from A Christmas Story as your avatar :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Thinking we should have an "Explain your avatar" thread as well.

The Crow is a movie I identified with as a teenager...the Old Man is pretty much who I've turned into. Funny how that works, lol.
 
I used to watch the A-Team while growing up. Face always stood out to me as well as Hannibal, but Dirk Benedict also played Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica with Lorne Greene. New Battlestar is unwatchable for me, moving on, Dirk's influence also led to a brief stint of puffing on cigars. However, due to the fear or oral dancer or just cancer in general, I quit abruptly.

I'm really not fond of mine, as I think it's rather lame. Picked it on a whim when signing up to PSN and decided to keep using it on GAF and ERA.

Anyway, I am a farmer so it comes from that.
