Time for another "how'd you choose your DU name" thread

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

When registering I was just engulfed in my usual hatred for George Warlord Wanker Wimp Wuss Wacko Woeful Wrecker Bush, and the phrase just popped into my head.

[Rising Phoenix]

1. I think mine is obvious...

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

3. Well, probably...

:)

[IntravenousDemilo]

68. Not to mention, suspiciously Swedish. n/m

[Crazy Guggenheim]

2. Just something I thought of when I signed on.

[chknltl]

59. I barely remember that guy....he had a cool laugh.

I keep seeing Buddy Hacket in my mind when I see that name but I do not think it was him.... I almost think he was on Ed Sullivan or Jackie Gleason, I just can't quite pin it down, help me out here C.G.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

65. Jackie Gleason.

[chknltl]

[Deep13]

7. Mystery Science Theater

Dr. Forrester's lab was said to be located in Deep 13 and the opening credits implied that it was at the center of the Earth.

My old name on the Smirking Chimp was Brutus because every Caesar needs one. That name was taken here and I have a feeling it was taken by me months earlier and then I forgot about it.

[Deep13]

8. oops, posted twice.

[terrya]

9. I looked at my drivers license and just got very creative

Imagine...taking your first name and adding the first initial of your last name! How wacky is that??

[cfield]

14. pretty wacky!

Mine is my first intial and then my last name; that's how I sign anything here at work. It's very hard to make myself sign my full first name I'm so used to running the 'C' into the "Field"; it's difficult to write out Cindy

[Shell Beau]

10. It is from my real name!

Not very original, huh?

[JimmyJazz]

11. Police walked in for Jimmy Jazz....

Trust me. It fits. :7

And, I'm not telling you more than that! :evilgrin:

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

16. part initials+part book title

[no name no slogan]

17. From a stupid song by a group called "Acid Horse"

...who was the product of a night of drink- and drug-fueled debauchery by the members of Ministry and Cabaret Voltaire. I just picked it out of the blue because I needed a username to post here. I always meant to change it, but after nearly 10,000+ posts I've become too associated/attached to it to do so.

http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,40807,00.html

[Trigger Hippie]

19. 'Cause I like to say Poo Head.

[The empressof all]

27. It's one of those you had to be there kinds of things

But it has to do with the Empress Hotel in Victoria BC and EarlGrey Tea. (Hence the initials TEA)....There was quite a bit of vodka involved as well.

[trof]

50. Vodka and tea ...deadly combination.

I thought everybody knew that.
;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. Well, I'm living in California....

And one of my names (my nickname, actually) is Peggy....

Another real original one, huh? :shrug: :sarcasm:

[xmas74]

29. I was due on Christmas of 1974

but arrived two days late.

[Danmel]

Melanie is still pissed that it's not Meldan, but I thought that sounded like a Conehead name.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

31. You're only five posts from 1000.

[Reciprocity]

32. I just thought that the definition fits any political board. Reciprocity

Reciprocity refers to in-kind positive or negative responses of individuals towards the actions of others. Thus positively interpreted actions elicit positive responses and vice versa.
And
defined: " the state of being reciprocal; mutual dependence, co-operation, exchange of courtesies or return in kind, etc. The policy under which special advantages are granted by one side in consideration of same by the other."

37. Funny word

[billyskank]

38. Once upon a time my ambition was to be a rave DJ

and Billy Skank was going to be my DJ moniker. The inspiration for that was from Red Dwarf: Lister's favourite music is by "Rasta Billy Skank." The "rasta" bit didn't seem appropriate so I dropped it.

[LSK]

39. my initials n/t

[IN-dem]

40. I live in Indiana

And I want to say I am a proud Democrat living in Indiana. Which is a RED state. :( I hope someday the people in Indiana will wake up!!!!

of course, I am both "blue" as in Dem and blue as in sad about the current situation in America. Clever, no?

[cssmall]

46. cssmall.

I'm an unoriginal bastard when it came to the name, simply because I took it from my University ID. C is the initial of my first name, S is the initial of my last name and Small is the first five digits of my last name.

[khashka]

47. I use it for most stuff - it's from a KaTe Bush song

[Gronk Groks]

51. Robert Heinlein wrote a book, "Stranger in a Strange Land"

Somehow I feel like this in my own country nowadays.

Gronk from Wizard of Id = Hairy Neanderthal with big mouth.

Groks from Heinlein = Understanding beyond understanding,
Feeling beyond empathy
Knowing a thing in your soul

I grok that Bush is the worst president in American History.
If we do not stop him, America will fall as surely as Rome fell.

[RubyDuby in GA]

53. Ruby was my precious little dog's name

55. Abbreviated from my old videogaming days . . . I used to go by

Eric The Awful :)

I have been running around all summer telling folks, (especially ones I do not even know), about the topic of "Depleted Uranium Oxide poisoning" My hope is to keep kids from joining the army and winding up in a place where they will likely breath the stuff. Click on either of my 2 links for more info, WARNING: those links contain content which is highly alarming, if you have been feeling a bit "shell-shocked" lately this is not a good time to look at this material. on edit: My links are down anyway so never mind that.

A descriptor meaning above average, used almost as many times as the word "smote".

[Clintmax]

89. Good Evening, everybody!

Mine is a screen name I've used for a LONG time on several different sites. It's my real first name, and since I worked at OfficeMax for SO LONG (and I'm still quite attached to my old store in Missouri), I combined the two to come up with ClintMax. I like it.

[justabob]

90. Mine came from a book

Horse Heaven a great book about racing, horses and their people. Justa Bob was one of the horses.

[Tafiti]

98. My username means....

..."seeker of knowledge" in Swahili.

I originally wanted "truth seeker", which would be Talib Kweli, but a somewhat well-known hip-hop artist already uses that moniker, so I tried to capture the same concept with a different name/phrase.

[Borgnine]

99. I found out Ernest Borgnine was a Republican...

...so I decided to claim the Borgnine name for progressives.
