But I'm starting to warm up to PenultimateManStanding.

I think we just got off to a bad start.

He's a real rascal and a scallywag!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Lokutus', 'G')oalie mask?
you made a reference to the entertainment world, so this is returning the favor. So you've really never seen that mask before? Not the height of wit, I'm sure, but think about it, what's the mask?

You didn't let on about Adam Corolla and emersonbiggins had to clue me in. But I'm not like that, lokutus (more on the name in a minute), so I'll tell you about the mask. That's the representation of Loki, the diety from the Norse pantheon, as seen in Jim Carrey's 1994 The Mask.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')oki
by Micha F. Lindemans
Loki is one of the major deities in the Norse pantheon. He is a son of the giant Farbauti ("cruel striker") and the giantess Laufey. He is regarded as one of Aesir, but is on occasion their enemy. He is connected with fire and magic, and can assume many different shapes (horse, falcon, fly). He is crafty and malicious, but is also heroic: in that aspect he can be compared with the trickster from North American myths. The ambivalent god grows progressively more unpleasent, and is directly responsible for the death of Balder, the god of light.

Loki's mistress is the giantess Angrboda, and with her he is the father of three monsters. His wife is Sigyn, who stayed loyal to him, even when the gods punished him for the death of Balder. He was chained to three large boulders; one under his shoulders, one under his loins and one under his knees. A poisonous snake was placed above his head. The dripping venom that lands on him is caught by Sigyn in a bowl. But every now and then, when the bowl is filled to the brim, she has to leave him to empty it. Then the poison that falls on Loki's face makes him twist in pain, causing earthquakes.

On the day of Ragnarok, Loki's chains will break and he will lead the giants into battle against the gods. Loki is often called the Sly One, the Trickster, the Shape Changer, and the Sky Traveler.
I started a thread way back on how people got their names. Nice thread, lots of stories. So what is a lokutus? A Latinized version of Loki? Is the 'lo' from louis?

When Captain Jean Luc Picard was captured by the Borg that became his Borg name: Lokutus.

I'm not really a Trekkie, just like the name.

OK, good name then. Picard became a Borg? Resistance is futile.

Kissing young boys is not only illegal, but pretty damned sick.
Which means it will never hapen, as I both do not want to go to jail nor am I that sick of a person.

Looks like Hotel Security came knocking for you. Ironic, huh? I'm the one who said 'dynamite, super bowl, binladen, etc.'
