I couldn't think of what to call myself, but then my mom said we were having pasta, so I typed that in and hit 67 by mistake, hence the name. Probably the lamest story ever. :roll:

You're all wrong, PE means physical education. :wink:

That's weird. Not your username, but the story about the Japanese students.

Quite common in Japan where students are under immense pressure to get to the next level of education. For a long time in Japan it was about the only way to define success in that society.

Things are beginning to change and things are becoming a little more spiritual again. A little bit of a change but still about the most materialistic socieity on the face of the earth.

That's what I thought. You could say that you're one of the few people here whose parents chose their username.

I can never remember if I reply to old topics, so I'll just reply again.

Dory: Hey, look at this, ES-CA-PAY! It's funny, you know, it's spelled just like the word escape...

And out of curiosity, do you guys pronounce Escapay as "EScapay" or "esCApay"? Emphasis on "Es" or "Ca"? For some odd reason, everytime I tell everyone this name, they emphasize on the "Ca" instead of the "Es", which is how it was in the movie.

I pronounce your name "EScapay". Call me stupid, but whilst we're on the topic of your username, I used to think it had something to do with Star Trek, despite having seen Finding Nemo. :roll:

I always thought of it as EScapay, probably because I just assumed it was a play on the word "escapade."

I didn´t thought it as escape or something.

In fact, in spanish, "Es" mean "Is" so I take it as "Is Ca Pay", or correcting spelling "Is Ca. Pie" :P

Tasty isn´t?

I always pronounced it "EScapay". I actually didn't make the connection from Finding Nemo until you put the quote on the animated film quote thread. :)

I think I first tried Mickey Mouse, but it didn't work, or I might have just done Prince Phillip, because I thought he was the coolest Prince, and part of one of my fave disney monies! :twisted:

Got it from the beginning of BATB, the prologue is my fave of any disney movie that i've seen, so i thought it use 'enchantress' as she plays a large part in that scene :D
