Well, the romantic story for my screen name could be that I collect swords and worked at the MN Rennaisance Faire for 5 years (which is all true). But I originally started this screen name back in 1995 or so on the Aquarium Fish Magazine message board when I was way into planted aquariums (and killifish keeping) and named myself after the Amazon Sword plants which I always liked alot.
I decided to use the same screen name here so I could "find myself" and so the tradition continues on other message boards as well, it's just seems easier to have one name on all these sites.

I thought Wmgorum was latin for "Man with hand growing out of shoulder"
I guess I was wrong.
I think my name is pretty obvious, all thought there is more to it than just being an Ozzy fan.
Long time ago after I started listening to Ozzy, I soon became obsessed with his music. People told me all the time I looked like him. I went to job corps when I was 18. People there immediately started calling me Ozzy, again because they thought I looked like him. At the time we both had long blond hair. I had a pic of me at that time but I don't know where it is now.
What do you think?
I do have another from a long time ago, but I don't think I look too much like him in this pic. Not the best pic of me lol.
You get the idea.
Another name I use a lot is voodoodancer. I had to find another name after Ozzy started doing the TV show on MTV. It seemed everybody wanted to use the name Ozzy.
Voodoodancer is a song by Ozzy. I was having some problems with a certain government official. I can't talk much about what I did, lol but this song helped me get back at her. The song pretty much became true in that situation.

Whilst translating the Aenid I ripped a few words out of one of the passages, changed the case in which they were in and reduced it to my current screen name. Latin words tend to have many many different meanings but this is the translation I am sticking with haha.

Mines simple, When I first started growing cps, sarracenia were my favorites, until I discovered Nepenthes, but it was too late to change my name on all of the forums and my email so I stuck with it. and my name is Shawn so thats were the other part came from, but you probably new that.
I'm herenorthere because I'm neither.

I always thought N. hamata was cool looking. One of hamata's meanings is hook/hooked. Captain Hamata = Captain Hook. Pirates are usually associated with having parrots. I have two parrots and I grow carnivorous plants. I wanted my forum name to reflect both of my hobbies.

Me...my Friday is on Thursday.
I feel/act like a kid when I am around my CPs. So my first choice was CarnivourKid. I decided that since I wasn't a real kid, the name might lead to a bit of confusion so a decided to make it BigCarnivourKid. Or BCK for short.
