[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] [b]Name[/b] -- Contrary to popular belief, my user name is [b]NOT[/b] a reference to the Las Vegas magic act Siegfried & Roy. It is, however, a reference to the Norse mythological figure Siegfried. My experience with Siegfried comes from Richard Wagner's opera cycle called [i]Der Ring des Nibelungen[/i]. Siegfried is the central character in the last two operas [i]Siegfried[/i] and [i]Die G�tterdammerung[/i]. In high school band, we got to play a selection from the latter opera called "Siegfried's Funeral March." It truly is a beautiful piece. "Siegfried" has since become my online persona (message board user names, ICQ nick, handles, etc.) [b]Status Line[/b] -- My status line comes from a couple of in-jokes between myself and my real-life friends. "The Pompatus of Love" is a snippet from The Steve Miller Band's "The Joker," and I was dubbed the Pompatus of Love in college for ability to give sound romantic advice while having a dismal love track record. Flare was exposed to this gag in one of the Interrogation threads. The "On-Call" is from my first summer working as a resident assistant in the dorms. My friends Shaun and Nic would list me on the duty board as "Settegast RA On-Call" and "Pompatus of Love On-Call." [b]Signature[/b] -- In the past year or so, I discovered webcomics. I've become an avid reader of many of them and have started using quotes from them as my signature. Currently, I'm using quotes from the gag-a-day webcomic [URL=http://www.ashfieldonline.com]? by Aric McKeown[/URL], but I've also used some quotes from the serial webcomics [URL=http://www.itswalky.com]It's Walky by David Willis[/URL], [URL=http://www.crfh.net]College Roomies From Hell!!! by Maritza Campos[/URL], and [URL=http://www.sinfest.net]Sinfest by Tatsuya Ishida[/URL].
