My name is Andrew, too. Anyway, Iffy is the nickname for Infernal Flamming Muffin. I was just downstais one day, thinking of what to call myself when I registered. I was thinking about "Muffin Pancake" which is usually my shaper's name. I decided that it had to have "muffin" in it. I thought about "Undead Muffin", but then I figured that Ephesos would hate me. So I though of something. When I registered (quite exited), I typed in Infernal Flamming Muffin. The extra "m" was a misspelling. But I decided to stick with it. And I eventually had a nickname, Iffy. Don't call me I.F.M or IFM. Call me Iffy, or Infernal Flamming Muffin. -------------------- Muffins n' Hell|Muffins n' Hell: The Muffins Are Back Again I have an addiction to Spiderweb games.

I don't think Ephesos (or in Turkish, Efes) is really a current Turkish city. But the ancient city has been being excavated and semi-restored for several decades now. The project will take another half-century or so to complete, but it's already a heck of a place to visit. They really didn't live so badly there, in the early centuries AD. An important tip for enjoying such a place: think of the swarms of other tourists as though they were simply the population of the city, which in its heyday was crowded with people from all over the then-locally-known world. -------------------- We're not doing cool.

My name is a mix of one of my last name, and an inside joke about a physical feature (which I no longer have). It also has many different connotations, which makes me seem like I have multiple personalities. Go ambiguity. -------------------- Let's all just shape gazers and hope it goes away.

I was Episcopalian by virtue of family (and by many years of church attendance), and still kinda am, but more atheist than anything else. So I had heard of the Ephesians, but I don't think that had anything to do with the name. Or maybe it was all some huge subconscious thing. Meh. -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow.

And it happens to be the only definition by this mysterious "KGF."

If that was too disturbing for you, then you have no business surfing the internet.
