Spengo: "I extinguish" in italian.
...o_O
Now, I didn't even know this when I chose it. A long time ago, in a far far away sophmore year, A kid named Tim Virvilo came up to me and said that if I didn't make up a nickname for myself, then he would make one up for me. I decided to call myself Spengo after the evil emperor in 'Mom and Dad save the World'(movie). Ever since then, my screenname has been Spengo and there are even many people irl that call me Spengo.

Some background information: Gambit is a member of the X-Men (although I never really watched it).

Me name... let's see here... Ever since I was young, I've had a keen interest for weapons, like swords, bows, staves, etc. and using them in self-defense. But, I couldn't own any of them because of my over-protective parents who think that such things are too dangerous and violent :x . So I seeked some alternatives, and card-throwing was first on the list (~6th grade). Cards are weapons! So it was my freshman year when we were messing around in programming class and everyone was amazed at my skills 8). Thus, a fellow programmer came up with my nickname, and I've been called that ever since. :)

I am also an expert at an art I call "protoarchery" and called myself "the sniper" in middle school, but I prefer "Gambit" nowadays :P

I remember, wasn't one of his power his charming way, I had a discussion about that. :P

As far as mine goes, my real name is James, but my family calls me Jimmy, and I had a friend called Joe E(yes his parents gave him an E for a middle name.) And so "Jim e" is my nick, I like the "e" lowercase.

To the present day, I have never touched a bow, or a sword, for that matter :o That's why I improvise with the materials I have at hand, namely paper, tape, paper clips, and rubber bands. It's primitive, but hey, I do call it "protoarchery."

I need to be enlightened further on "Gambit" :|

I wish I had a sword. That would be awesome! My uncle has a sword, but no one else does...wait...my neighbor Mr. Cico probably has a few. He has just about every weapon imaginable, including a minature flame thrower for killing weeds. He also knows someone with a Gaitlin gun! :O

X3? http://imdb.com/title/tt0376994/

they don't have many characters announced on there, but if it does end up getting made Gambit better be in it. He was by far the best X-men character, throwing playing cards at enemies and he always had that cool stick. Reminded me of Donatello. Now I am getting all nostalgic, I might have to break out the old ninja turtles movies. Thanks a lot guys!
