My description is not based on people's nicknames.
There might be dozens of reasons why they choose
this or that nickname. I would not say anything about
a person until he/she says anything. Yazyk - tvoi
vrag. (Just to complete my idea, you can make some
guesses about the origin of the person's nickname after
you heard him/her. But it doesn't always work.)
Primer: pochemu Buratino vybral sebe takoe prozvishe?
Vozmozhnye varianty: potomu shto u etovo cheloveka
bol'shoi nos, potomu shto emu nravitsa derevo,
potomu shto evo devushku zovut MaL'vina, potomu shto
evo tak zvali v shkole, i t.d.

Patriarh etoy stranitsi, natura slojnaja i protivorechivaja:
Umen, no chereschur,
vejliv, no ne so vsemi,
dobr, no ne vsegda,
sentimentalen, no ne slishkom,
obidchiv, no ne zlopamjaten,
Don Juan, no razborchiv (bolee vsego v jizni boitsja sexual abuse),
samoljubiv, no ne ochen',
tsheslaven, no v meru,
skvernoslov, no v razumnih predelah',
alkogolik,no ne hronicheskiy.

Plus ko vsemu, vsemi priznaniy v Makhalia ostrjak, poet i t.d...

- tsenz, strazh Mahalli;
otvetstvennyi rabotnik, chinovnik. Obychno ochen'
chotko vidit neporyadok v Mahalle i presekaet vsyakie
popolznoveniya obnoglevshih elementov obgadit' eyo.
Ochen' vozmozhno, shto imeyet takzhe drugoe imya v
Mahalle, t.k. dostatochno trudno smyshlyonnomu
cheloveku udershat' seba v ramkah odnovo obraza.
Na polstavki rabotaet na Web Mastera.

poedinkah obychno raznosila odnoklasnikov v puh i prah.

Dear member, our committee gladly met the news about your work on book
about members of our Makhalia. We feel obliged to appoint you to be
the first creator of `Encyclopedia of Makhalia`. We are also waiting to hear
what you'll say about other members of our Makhalia.
Good luck.
Makhalinskiy komitet

Cool! that loos like a dosier to makhallya members. I have a question,
Mr. D.Nekto. How does each members' nickname affect your description
of personalities, if it does to any extent (if it does, can you predict any
new members' personality based on just the nickname?)? Thank you.
BraveFalconHawk

You made me smile my friend :-), what your message really says is:
`Have a look at my nick, do you now get an idea what sort of person I am?`

Keep up self promotion, after all, that's what we all do.

U uvazhaemogo D.Nekto redkaya nabludatel'nost' i yasnoe,
lakonichnoe izlozheniye myslej. `D.` v initsialah Dobrozhelatelya Nekto
mozhno bylo by rasshifrovat' takzhe kak `Doctor`. :)
Ya prisoedinyayus' k mneniyu o tom, chto stoit prodolzhat' spisok.

A kogda zhe budet prodolzhenie?!
U vas ochen' dszhe neploho poluchaetsja, zhivo, veselo i, naverno vse-taki, pravdivo :)

Za zerkalom rassvet
Podnyalsa v polnyi rost,
T'ma, vtyagivayas' v scheli,
Uhodit na pogost,

Skol'zyat skvoz' veki prizraki
Dalekih oblakov,
Hochu uplyit' ya s nimi
Ne pokidaya snov ..

A x.r moj
V poln'ij rost,
Podnjalsa i manit
Probrat'sa na pogost...
Gde prizraki skol'zjat
Skvoz' veki oblakov
Starushku otkopat'
Ne pokidaja snov,
Ne v silax uderzhat'
Extaza blagodat'
Shnurki ot bashmakov
Na sheju namotat'...

Plesnu sebe grogu
Ya na dorogu
I poproschayus' s toboyu za nogu,
Vdal' ya uidu,
Pod glazami krugi,
Na pamyat' pod mishkoi - botinok s nogi ..

Posted by Hank on June 29, 1997

Ah ??? My version:

Opravlius' na dorogu,
Pred tem kak vdal' uiti,
Chtob ne svodilo nogu..
No gde sartir naiti ?

Postoite, vizhu Shar (Globus)
Pod nim uselsia Burg
On vipuskajet par,
Trudiaga-metalurg!

Emu ja pomahal,
On usmehnulsia lish':
"V shtani davno nasr..l,
Teper' ja tih kak mish' "

Mne zhalko bedalagu,
Za chto emu dano ?
Ne pil on v zhizni bragu,
A lish' mesil gav..o.

Burg, my regards, do not take this junk to your heart.

A.Tolstomu pripisyvaetsya avtorstvo dvuh anekdotov:
#1.
- Papa Karlo! ya vlyubilsya.
- Ya rad za tebya. -zanimaetsya svoim delom.
- Papa Karlo, nu pribej hot' rzhavyj gvozdik.

#2.
- Mal'vina! Ya tebya lublyu.
- U menya ot tvoej lyubvi vsya p...a v zanozah.

S odnoj storony - B.Uratino schitaet chto A.Tolstoy bil negodjaem,
znachit #1 - pravda.
Tem bolee chto B.Uratino do sih por pomnit o gvozdikah.
S drugoj storony - na B.Uratino vse devushki pochemu-to obizheny.
Znachit #2 vpolne tozhe mozhet okazat'sya pravdoj.
Tajna pokrytaya mrakom.
