Welcome to ATS Bope!

Ello Bope! Nice name btw. What are you on here for--thread wise.

The screen name came from a recurring nightmare I had as a kid. It was a giant who kidnapped me and sent me off to some strange waterworld. The giant's name was "Bope" and my parents would tell me I would wake up terrified screaming "Bope!" So the name stuck.

Threadwise, I am looking to different subjects and ideas for my own site.

Thanks for the warm welcome all.

Hn, well that's an interesting story. Welcome to ATS Bope!

Welcome to ATS!

According to Encyclopedia Mythica, your username, that you received in a dream, is actually:

bope:

Among the Bororo (Mato Grosso, Brazil), the generic name for evil spirits who attack the dead. They are impersonated by the tribal members during the eight-day funeral ceremony in an attempt to keep them at bay. When this ritual has come to an end, the body of the deceased is secretly taken to the river where the flesh is scraped away to leave clean bones. The spirit then escapes and becomes embodied in a bird, a deer, or a frog.

Does this explanation mean anything to you?

lol. Strange. You must've been pretty educated to be having those types of dreams when you were a kid.
