User Name - Whats the Story?

[Gumbala]

Hey just wondering how we all choose our user/login names.

Ill start,

Gumbala is short for Ushgumbala, basically came from getting really excited when I was a kid and screaming out crazy shit..

haha.. by the way noone calls me this in real life! haha..

 

[Rosy Cheeks]

After trying a dozen other nicks at OG that were already taken, Rosy Cheeks was the one that was still avaible... and Rosy Cheeks it was.

 

[TaxiBoy]

My user name is taken from one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands, the Real Kids. I grew up on REAL punk rock back in the day and I hold on to those days with great fondness. I may have cut my mohawk and got rid of the studded leather jacket, but my heart still pumps D.I.Y. anti-establishment sentiment, and hopefully will until it's last beat!

 

[Abstract Pillow]

Surrealistic Pillow was too long for IC so I went with what I could get.

 

[Reality]

My user name stands for the real reality that faces us.

 

[HuffAndPuff]

Hey Guys! Listen I hate to try to kill this thread, but there was basically the exact same one- and it's like 5 pages long, as I recall- about 6 weeks ago. If I may be so bold as to suggest saving the bandwidth and some clutter, and just post up these responses in the older thread?

Stay Safe

i just like this word and gelatinous things in general

 

[Lune TNS]

It's the name of a company flow song that I was listening to when signing up.

 

[Linenoise]

I've had this handle for about 20 years now. It goes all the way back to dial-up BBSs. For those of you too young to know. Back then we ran at 300 baud and would sometimes loose connection to the BBS due to Linenoise.

anyhow it has stuck ever since. What is annoying is someone else out there is also using the name (probably lots of other people). In which case I have to revert to the cumbersome handle of theREAlLinenoise.

 

[marx2k]

I made my nickname a while back but I think the idea was that if Karl Marx came back to life in the year 2000, if he saw what capitalism has turned into, would he be surprised or not. I think not. I think he'd just close his eyes, shake his head and crawl back into his coffin.

 

[vaprpig]

When we first got our Volcano there were occasions that I would suck the whole bag down when my wife wanted some and she would yell, "You f*****g pig!, you f*****g vapor pig!". And I thought, perfect name.

 

[Rastanfisk]

My nick is a Fish "Cod haddock" that you hang out side for 3week too dry " or like we call it "ræst " But Not in the summer to hot, you will get worms and fly´s in the fish
and boil it for 20min and Yummy ..........
So there you go, the fisherman´s way (;

 

[Guest]

Mine comes from my daughter. She saw me reading here and said "Old fools like you shouldn't be reading that sort of stuff". When I showed there were other "old fools" online, she mumbled something about old hippies and walked away.

[nycdfan042]

[SensimillaWolf]

I love sensi and like wolves. The character in my avatar is a lone-wolf type. Awesome.

 

[waydee]

People have called me waydee for as long as I can remember, its not really very original or clever either - just based on my surname sorta.

edit: Interestingly it was "way-hey!,dee!" for a while when I was with a very hot girl called Dee, clearly my friends were proud of me.

 

[Comatose]

Cause my indica has got me way past overdose, cause I ain't movin'.
