Screen name origins

Translates to Corpse Candle. It's the term for lights that supposedly bob around graveyards. In the U.S. they're said to be the manifestation of spirits (meh), but in Europe they're said to be harbingers of death (I like it). It combines my love of culture with my love of dark things. And it's weird too, which is good.

The Phanastasio.

Fans of Phish's music generally referred to as "phans", and I'm a tremendous fan of their guitarist in particular, Trey "Anastasio".

I guess you could say I'm the "Phan" of "Anastasio". But let's combine the "An", since they're shared letters, shall we? ThePhanastasio.

Well, Dirty is part of my rap name which is why I chose it as a username. My friends call me Dirty a good bit since I started rhyming a couple years ago. Plus I have a dirty mind and never wash my hands and am generally a dirty and disgusting person so the name fits well.

I sort of regret the lack of creativity put into my name. If I could go back I would have made a name like... umm... Radiohead or something.

Maybe you should have chosen the name of a sigur ros song that wasn't also a type of sausage.

Someone thought it was named after the cookie as well.

For some reason, your name reminds me of this face: 0_o

Don't ask why, it just does.
