    What made you choose your username? I chose mine cause of my favorite sport that I love and play, Hockey. So why did you choose yours?

    I used to use "eragon229" for all my stuff when I was obsessed with the book... see the massive flaw there? Anyways, I decided a change was in order, and I thought "Kamazar" sounded cool with k and z and all. The coolness went down a few points when I realized it's also the name of a kinda lame multimedia company, but hey, it's unique and my own.

    Hahaha, I laughed at that one.

    I chose mine because it just struck me as cool. The more I said it to myself the more I came to like it. Of course, this was a while ago and now I just think of it as average. But I still use it for everything since I can't come up with anything else.

    And no, I'm not a mentally disturbed cyber-stalker, I was just too lazy to type in the entirety of the book's title and just put in "Hodapp". ... god, I sound even creepier now, don't I?

    buxman, is essentially a mix between my surname (Bussman) and Tux (the Linux penguin). People got to call me by this name when I was in school and I've continued to use it :)

    Well I was awarded the title "Douche of all the land", at the passing of my parents (the duke and duchess of Douche), and then led a crusade to instill my own brand of faith in the less douchey. It was at this time, at the request of my advisors did I decide to take a more low key approach and became known simply as LEDOUCHE!!!

    (on a more technical note, I didn't think toucharcade would allow the classic pronunciation of my family name, and so I altered the spelling slightly to trick the censors..hahahaha)
