Your_Lion Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 A friend of mine misheard the lyrics in "The Weapon" - He's a little bit afraid of dying...But he's a lot more afraid of Your Lion. I thought it was pretty funny, and now that's what I always hear when listening to the song....and since I like cats too, I thought I'd use it as a namehttp://www.myemoticons.com/images/animals/safari/lion.gif 4
Rutlefan Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Nothing to do with Rush. It's a play on Beatlefan magazine, featuring the Pre-Fab Four ("I want to tell you I'm in love with you, completely. I'd like to take you far away from here, discretely." ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qf8y7v0WIE I used it on a whim years ago and then just kept using it, though I do really love Neil Innes (plays the John Lennon "Ron Nasty" character; most people would remember him as Robin's singing minstrel in Monty Python and the Holy Grail ... "He's not afraid ..."). Here's a favorite that Bob Dylan fans might like. I seem to remember him being on a live Monty Python album, and introduced this song saying, "I've suffered for my music, now it's your turn"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vnkB9gM-_k Edited March 18, 2014 by Rutlefan 1

Tom Sawyer Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 It's a stretch, but here goes... Neil Peart reads a lot of books...right? Tom Sawyer is a book .. Well, that's it. Lame huh?! 1
coventry Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 It doesn't. It was the muddy hillside in Vermont where Phish played their last shows in 2004 - before returning in 2009.
circumstantial tree Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Combining "Circumstances" and "The Trees" from Hemispheres into a descriptive name. Also, the tragic "circumstantial" events surrounding the battle between the oaks and maples.

Empty Mindless Spectre Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Well, my favorite RUSH song has no lyrics, so I derived my name from the lyrics of my second favorite RUSH song. I could have simply gone with "The Necromancer", but I figured that was probably already taken, and I think "Empty Mindless Spectre" sounds pretty cool.
FountainOfSyrinx Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 mine is based on a Fountain of Syrinx located somewhere in Greenland, i think? no real relation. traveled there as a kid. place was riveting. haven't looked back since.
theanalogmiddleagedman Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Well, The Analog Kid is my favorite song and I am now no longer a kid. Plus, I remembered a funny MM character on SNL, the middle aged man.
Pound of Obscure Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 No relationship between the two... Mine either. No...wait.

Janie Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 This all has been very interesting, I must say. Some people have been really creative with their usernames. 1
