Adjective Bird Whiskey		2012-12-20 11:55:04 PM

Parents were alcoholic hippy native americans.

It's my first initial and last name. I use it for everything. I'm not very imaginative or fun.

MBK was my old AOL name. Well, the actual SN was "MyBigKulot". Kulot is penis in Serbian (I think).

Mr. Murder		2012-12-20 11:56:19 PM

Mr. Murder is technically an alt.

I used to name all of my fantasy sports teams after Dean Koontz books. Mr. Murder stuck there, and then eventually here as well.

but was wild turkey taken? wild turkey 101?

SilentStrider		2012-12-20 11:57:51 PM

Its a reference to a werewolf tribe from white wolf's old world of darkness line. They were the Egyptian death obsessed werewolves who loved to rip vampires to shreds, and disliked the politicking of the "more important" tribes.

me texan		2012-12-21 12:00:14 AM

Mine started off when I was headed out to the middle east and I needed a title for my blog - so it was "A Texan in Shaikh Muhhamad's Court" or Middle East Texan. A lot of folks think its "I'm a Texan" which lead to lots of knee jerk reactions in the GWB days. It was kind of trollerific fun, considering I voted for Obama.

Sensei Can You See doesn't have any special significance; I'm a martial artist and I like bad puns. It's just about that deep.

My username is a play on the Latin legal term "Lex Talionis" meaning "Law of Retaliation" or "Law of Revenge".

Thus, my username means "King of Retaliation".

hng		2012-12-21 12:04:11 AM

it's what my real life friends call me. And yes... alcohol was involved for many steps of the evolution of the name.

Started out between periods in the "smoking section" at a Devils playoff game in 2001 and a random dude said about me "Hey...It's that crazy half naked man"... and over the course of that series and the rest of the playoffs, everytime he saw me he changed it a bit until it became "hng".

HE ended up naming his hockey team after me... and had me design a jersey that inlcuded my likeness, and then when he got married, the invite and my table assignment was "hng".

aerojockey		2012-12-21 12:05:12 AM

When I was 12 I was playing legos with my cousin, who built this weird ship and start calling it "Space Jockey 1999". When I got to college and had to find a user id of my very own, I wanted to hearken back to that moment and call myself spacejockey, but there were multiple space jockeys out there, and I wanted my own name. So I combined it with my major (Aerospace Engineering) and voila, aerojockey. Pretty sure I'm the only one.

Adjective Bird Whiskey		2012-12-21 12:05:15 AM

Well, when my dad set us up an AOL account back in... oh, 1996ish? he asked me to think up a username. I was just starting to be in love with Terry Pratchett books at the time, so I combined Rincewind with my favorite number 53, which had been given to me by my 5th grade teacher.

Thus, Rincewind53was born.

I lurked TFD years before making an account. Then one day a Fark party was announced. So, I decided to show up and smell the hair of people that I had only known by name. The hostess asked me for my login name. I panicked. Years of hard work making spreadsheets and gathering data would be for naught. Then I looked across the room. There was a person wearing a shirt from The Salty Dog Saloon. So I blurted out, "Salty Dog." Well in her drunken script the "a" looked like an "o." I went home that night and created the account using the spelling on the tag, since it was in so many pictures and I didn't want to raise suspicion.

Around all those Generation Blah books and articles, decided that I'd appoint myself voice of my own generation. Narcissism without portfolio. I wanted a nick that I had not seen anywhere or used anywhere, and there it was.

Worldcom helpfully came up with the same idea mere weeks later to advertise their network, which at the time I was working for a subsidiary of. Which was kind of weird too. Should have grabbed that logo, GIS seems to have completely forgotten it.

SpiderQueenDemon		2012-12-21 12:21:55 AM

I was called 'Spidey' all through middle and high school because a (really huge) spider crawled onto me and I had a full, serious, completely humiliating panic attack in front of everyone at a fifth-grade school assembly.

Then, in college, I joined the campus radio station and our programming director was also a big Steely Dan enthusiast. Just enough kids from my old hometown (four,) had come to the same school, and one of them called me Spidey a couple of times in our director's hearing. He assumed (not illogically,) that it was short for 'SpiderQueenDemon' and started marking my schedules 'SQD' or 'Spidey' (everyone went by nicknames there,) and I just sort of went with it because it sounded cooler than I had ever been.

It did even make a vague sort of sense, if you interpreted the song 'Two Against Nature' to be about a pair of dorm RAs dealing with wacky hijinks at something of a party school, though I never did throw a wicker wing chair across the lobby. And I stopped minding being called 'Spidey' provided it was assumed to be short for something cooler, which is good because I don't expect to ever live that one down. The one teacher mistook the panic attack for a seizure and jabbed my butt with an EpiPen and...yeah, definitely in my top five worst memories.

So basically picking that user name was me trying to be the coolest possible version of myself and make peace with the awkward little kid I had been. And it sort of works.

Mine is German for "devil monkey"...which I decided was a good name to use online back in the late '90s. Don't ask me why I thought that, 'cause I sure as hell don't remember.

I was on a date with a girl and we ordered sushi at a restaurant that no longer exists. It was the worst sushi I've ever encountered and one of us said something along the lines of "well, it's sorta sushi".

A few days later I needed a user name at salon.com's tabletlalk and in a gin-fueled haze, came up with sortasushi.

that was 1998. after a few years, people started calling me soosh. so I went to that.

I was trapped inside so obiously the wrong body, and it seemed that i was also on the wrong planet, as there was no way that these kinds of beings who seem to pass for intelligent upright apes, could in any way be part of my genetic makeup. What with the killings and rapes and overall dickishness that seems to pervade most of the planet.Not to mention the crapping on ones own plate by polluting the only place to live in this general area of space, and making money while doing so.
I still hope that the daydream I had about not really being here when i was five is true, because for the life of me I have no idea why I got sent to hell.
In a nutshell, I have always been alienated.
Was there alcohol ? There might have been when I created an alt name, as I was thinking of an SNL character after Phil Hartman died, but I lost the password and Drew retired it.

My high school carries Goslings as their nickname.

That, in turn, comes from my hometown's legacy of fattening up geese for foie gras. Families all over town would get up at all hours to stuff their big grain noodles down the goose's throat. And let me tell you, that goose would have to be noodled every couple hours. The dad, the mom, the kids, they'd all have to take turns whipping out their noodles and handle that insatiable goose again, and again, and again, day after day, until they've noodled so much the goose can't stand up anymore.

That's when you break out the machines for some extra special noodling.

And then they'd send the product of their noodling out east, where customers would line up around the block and pay very high prices to get goosed. They'd beg for a little taste and their minds would get blown, they got goosed so hard.

Mine's pretty easy. A long time ago, I was trying to kill my parents in a murderous, manic rampage and the weapon I was using broke when I slammed it into a metal conduit in the drywall in their bedroom (they were running - which was silly and frankly futile, but that's an easy call through the retrospectoscope). Anyway, it hit the piece of metal conduit and the head of the ax shattered from the force - and so I shouted out, just as the neighbors were arriving, "DAMN AX!"

The rest, as they say, is history.

But I figure that most of you had already figured that out. Just thought I'd contribute.

Pitabred		2012-12-21 01:53:00 AM

Ok, pull up a seat for nerdery of the century.

Way back in high school, there were a bunch of wanna-be gangbangers, and then there were me and my cracker-ass friends. We're talking a hick town in northern Colorado, not inner city, so not the "real" gangs. Anywho, I used to drive an old 1980 AMC Concorde that my friends called the "grocery getter" or the "bread machine". We were all out at lunch one day talking to each other about how stupid the kids were who thought they were bangers, and we decided that we should form our own "gang". Since we went to lunch in my car, we circled back to bread as the theme for our "gang names", and we had wheat bread, french bread and me, pita bread. It was fun for the rest of lunch period, and the rest of the day.

The rest of the day consisted of playing Duke Nukem 3D on the computers that the technology administrator had bought and left in his office for... learning purposes. One of them ostensibly served the school website, but that wasn't a terribly heavy load, and it could play Duke easily while running that in the background. So we did. Unfortunately, being an old DOS-rooted game like it was, it had a limitation of 8 character player names. So I shortened my gang name to Pitabred, and I've been that all over the intarwebs ever since the late 90's.

She reminded me of a pale, perfect china doll, and I couldn't take my eyes off of her.

Holy crap! I've been wanting to submit this thread for a couple of months now but was never sure what day would be best to get people to actually join in.

So... .Uchiha_cycliste
Well when I decided to stop Lurking on FARK, and IIRC it was right near one of the major hurricanes I had just begun watching/catching up on Naruto. The anime had JUST gotten to the Gara/Sasuke fight and by that point in the anime they had made a big deal over and over about being an Uchiha. Especially since Sasuke and Itachi were the only ones left. So, when Sasuke introduces himself before the fight he does so in a sort of Bondish manner going "Uchiha... ... ... Sasuke" And I was thinking to myself that was really badass, But obviously I'm not a ninja, nor do I have super ninja powers, So I wondered what kind of an Uchiha (and yes, I know it's a surname and that over there they say their names surname first, opposite of us) I could be and decided I would be a cycling Uchiha; or a cyclist Uchiha. Then I decided that I liked Cycliste a lot better because it ended with a vowel the same way Sasuke and Itachi do.

Hence forth I was known as Uchiha_Cycliste. =D

On the only other forum I'm a member of I signed on while I was still on the cal cycling team and I thought Kakashi was a badass (cuz he is) so I made my handle there Cal_kashi. You knowinstead of Ka.kashi.

Weatherkiss		2012-12-21 02:04:47 AM

I was always told to bring an umbrella to school when it was raining out. The rain never really bothered me, so I always questioned why I had to bring one. But mom and dad told me I had to anyway.

In high school I was able to make my own decisions (or maybe it was Jr. High), and I started defying my parents by refusing to bring an umbrella. Typical teenage rebellious shiat. Of course that's just minor compared to the other stuff I did in my teenage years.

One day I fixed my hair and applied hair spray and then ran like hell to school, or else I was going to be late. Except the hairspray was still wet and it was pouring out. When I got to my home room, my hair looked really swept to one side (and not in a good way), and my best friend told me I looked like I just got kissed by the weather.

Since then, I still haven't given a crap about whether or not it's raining. I'll wear a windbreaker or something, but I don't own any umbrellas since it's just water. So wherever I go, if it's raining out, I just let my hair dry out naturally. And people think I'm weird because I don't use an umbrella, and I get asked about it often enough, I just respond I like being kissed by the weather.

And since all the other aliases I've wanted to use online end up being taken, Weatherkiss is usually absent.

DataShade		2012-12-21 02:15:18 AM

My mother falsified my birth certificate to pretend to her friends and peers that my stepfather had adopted me (and/or to conceal from her Republican political colleagues that she'd been divorced), but never actually bothered to tell me that all the paperwork I'd been filling out - for college applications, jobs, etc - was in a false name.

So I got nastygrammed by the IRS and various federal agencies, advised that I had 60 days to correct the errors I had made ("what appears to be an attempt to defraud") in various places or risk felony prosecution. I showed up at the social security administration office with piles of paper. I'd managed to get a driver's license in the name of a person who didn't legally exist, I had a paper trail for the fake name, but nothing for the real one.

Ended up having to pay to get my name legally changed, added one of the last names as a second middle name, thus making both names a part of my legal name, then had to fax notices and gather stamped/signed documents to return to the IRS. By the end of the 60 day period (the week after my 18th birthday, IIRC), the people in the SSA knew me by sight and I'd become a sort of living nightmare to data-entry clerks in multiple state and federal agencies. A "data shade."

I had another Fark name before it, but I could never remember it because I used it rarely, and I finally lost that name (I think I moved and lost the post it not, and cleaned my cookies around the same time) so I started a new Fark Account to submit some crap. I was drunk, and just figured, "farkit, I'll just use my email address/domain name for this one so I don't forget it."

I realized there's some value in being on a site like this with my real name, even if it's such a common name that I've talked to seven people with the name Dave Hogan as well. So, I get to be kind of anonymous while being accountable for whatever shiat I post on here.

A "gyrfalcon" or "jerfalcon" was the largest bird used for hawking in the Middle Ages, and was traditionally reserved for the High King or Emperor. So-called because of the way it "gyred" when it was circling for prey. The gyrfalcon was also called a "tiercel" because the female was one-third or a "tierce" bigger than the male.

Why? Because falcons are awesome.

Satanus Maximus		2012-12-21 02:33:28 AM

Mine is from the days of echo-mail and FidoNet.

/CSB

I was a bad seed in my younger years, hanging out in the religious feeds of FidoNet, ripping and giving shiat to fundamentalist freaks.

My nick came up from a comment made in the feed after I had forced my way into the mail system to play havoc on mail packets.

I set up my own FidoNet node and subscribed to all the religious feeds and then the alternative wacko sex feeds. I wrote down the names of the most retarded fundies. Then, I used a compiler to take huge mail packets from the religious and sex feeds and changed the to and from fields to the fundie names with mail from the sex feeds.

After compiling was finished, I found a mail hub in another state that uploaded the religious feeds to a larger regional hub for distribution. Luckily, he wouldn't be password protected - as most BBSes weren't in those days on their frontend software. I reconfigured my frontend to look like one of the hub's clients and pushed my dirty packet through.

A day or two later, my work had spread itself all over the globe to whoever subscribed to the religious feeds. I sat down to read how one fundie asked another fundy how he liked the thong panties he got him, other conversations touched on the topic of golden showers and even scat. Now, I just had to wait to see if the fundies would take the bait.

They did. They started flaming others that appeared to be homosexual, severely offended at the scat mail - you name it, they bought it. I consider it to be the funniest goddamn moment in my entire life. A little while later, after they started to calm down and realize they'd been made fools of, they blamed it on a person out there of maximum hatred that worked for satan.

I changed my nick to Satanus Maximus. Thanks!

Now I Is!		2012-12-21 02:38:23 AM

It started with a weird dream: A Robot Chicken style cartoon of kids playing Super Robot co-op game. A nerdy kid uses a "randomizer" function to generate his mech and is saddled a hideous purple thing, and is promptly mocked out of the game by teammates. He then logs out and rejoins, again using the "randomizer" function. This time he receives a mec that is, essentially, the BBC miniseries version of Marvin the Paranoid Android only with an armor plate where his face should be making it impossible to see. The kid then screams "DAMMIT WHY DO I KEEP GETTING STUCK WITH THE STUPID ROBOTS" and trips over a mountain. I burst out of a dead sleep LMFAO and startled the crap out of my then girlfriend. Later, I told the story to an artist friend who was prompted to create the cartoon of me as a robot that is in my profile including a bumper sticker on my head that read "Now I Is". When asked why he simply stated that it "Just seemed to fit". I couldn't disagree.

Gwynplaine is the hero of Victor Hugo's story 'The Man who Laughs' A man who is disfigured to have a permanent smile on his face. (Gwynplaine is acknowledged as being the inspiration behind The Joker (Physically)
For years I worked with children with Angelman's Syndrome, which has the pleasant side effect of making the child always happy and leaves them with a huge smile on their face.
I later got cancer of the perotid gland and the surgery severed nerves in my face leaving me with some permanent facial paralysis, and now when I smile its a big goofy disfigured smile.
I find it relatable.

Just thought I'd add that culottes in modern French means underwear (or panties for women) but originated from the long leggings men wore during the Middle Ages.

And somewhat related segway to mine, lumiere is French for light. My full name translates to 'enlightened night' so I just chose light for Fark, despite the fact I'm more of a nocturnal Farkette. And no, I didn't choose it because of the Disney 'Beauty and the Beast' candelabra.

weiner dog		2012-12-21 02:55:19 AM

When I was 14, I got me an 8-month-old dachshund from the local SPCA. I thusly became a "dachshund person". I don't know if anyone can refrain from becoming a dachshund person after having one. Dins had about 100 nicknames, but 'weiner dog' was one of the more commonly used ones; chances are pretty good I'd just called him "weiner dog" when I was trying to come up with a Fark account username. (CSB side note: I've always preferred spelling it with the 'ei' combo, even though it's simply an 'accepted variant', and not the proper spelling. I am slowly transitioning to the 'ie' spelling of wiener after all these years. It's oddly difficult.)

That's a creative way to hide a female firefighter during the fundraisers.

I briefly used the name Trevor McDoughnut here, taken from Lenny Henry's character on Tiswas, (pops) which was itself a parody of newsreader Trevor McDonald.

I decided that that wasn't sufficiently ambiguous so after a bit of thought I changed it toGordon Bennett, which not only fit the bill as an expression in general but also evoked Holly from Red Dwarf and Ace from Doctor Who for extra nerd street cred.

Great Janitor		2012-12-21 03:10:19 AM

The Great Janitor...

In high school I would write a shiat ton of stories and exchange them with a friend of mine. In one story I had him being chased by The Great Janitor Yggdrasil. Then I started to get notes in my locker from someone named The Ghost of Christmas 1947, in my friend's hand writing, so I would reply back with letters from The Great Janitor Yggdrasil. This was in the 10th grade. This continued throughout the rest of high school with the letter exchange taking on a weird story line of their own. At one point he was Grand Governor General High Lord Almighty Great Janitor Yggdrasil esquire. After high school we'd see each other and the first thing we'd say to each other was "A friend stopped by..." and exchange letters. Our senior year of high school others got in on it. There was the Shadow of Past Present and Future; sentient peanut butter (I don't remember his name, just what he was); Tina, High Ruler of the Tropics of Pleasure; The Evil Butterfly Collector, Fish Head Volume Guessing Man, and another who's name I don't remember, just that he was a dildo. And of course, as everything continued, the characters were all evolving. Great Janitor eventually got a girlfriend named Hannah the Universal Cheerleader.

After High School, things continued and continued. Eventually I put everything into a story centered around The Great Janitor and his rivals TGOC-1947 and the Shadow and titled the story "Oh My Janitor!" (I got the title idea from an anime video cover box titled 'Oh My Goddess!' at the video store. This was 1998). It started out as a three part story and blossomed into a weekly story that was being passed around at my old high school and a couple apartment complexes. It was awesome to be at the mall and over hear someone shout "Oh my janitor!". Sadly, that only happened once, but I it was still awesome. Hannah eventually became Hannah the Head Cheerleader of the Universe and ended it once the story collection reached a thousand pages. Shared it for a few more years. Amazed at how being a series of multi-part stories it actually has an over all story arc and what happens in one story has consequences that follows into the following stories. I still have the book all these years later. My wife hasn't read any of them yet. Someday I may let her. It's really hard to be 34 years old, pick up stuff you wrote at 19 and not want to face palm as you read it, even though when you wrote it, 30 and 40 year olds read it, enjoyed it and said "Get this published!" I may rewrite it some day.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems weird if someone who is willing to risk their life to save mine can't dress up with the rest of the guys if they save my ass.

Concern appreciated. I'm fairly new though - that's really the reason I don't have a dress uniform yet. I'll get one next time they have a few people to order for. They really do treat me about like they would a smallish guy - like giving me the heaviest thing they can find to carry (testing my strength) - but other than that I'm the same as anyone.

I'm working on becoming an EMT too! Should be certified in March.

See, elsewhere on the internet, I've used my real first name, Eric, with the last name Christ, but at the time I didn't want to use my name (these days I don't care, and there're enough Eric Christs on the internet that googling the name doesn't turn up anything related to me for pages). So I thought of E. Christ, but then, in a moment of pure stupidity, I thought, "Haha, what if I did e-christ, like an e-machine or e-trade or whatever. 'I am Christ for the internet age' it'll say to people! This is genius!"

Pretty much the second I confirmed the account, I thought to myself "This is the worst screen name I've ever picked." And it has remained so ever since.

Sparky the Fire Dog: Concern appreciated. I'm fairly new though - that's really the reason I don't have a dress uniform yet. I'll get one next time they have a few people to order for. They really do treat me about like they would a smallish guy - like giving me the heaviest thing they can find to carry (testing my strength) - but other than that I'm the same as anyone.

I'm working on becoming an EMT too! Should be certified in March.

In that case congrats, and good luck with the EMT tests. (They were easier than I expected, but that was a while ago in NY.)

If fundraising is an issue, consider that (1) this is fark (2) you're female (3) you're a firefighter, which is quite badass, and (4) the FarkUs tab seems like a good spot to try to ask for help with fundraising, especially if 1 and 2 apply.

Well, I don't think fundraising is the issue with dress uniforms (more about having enough to be worth putting an order in, and making sure all the people involved have been around long enough to know they're in for the long haul). I'll keep that in mind though if anything else in particular comes up! Thanks!

Put me down in the "I read it as alt" column. I generally avoid even thinking about ATL, though... I do *not* like that town. The last time I was down there was for a Lords of Acid/Thrill Kill Kult show a few years ago at The Masquerade. Awesome show, shiatty crowd.

My sad was quickly overcome by the joy that an EPIC Photoshop thread circa 2005 could be. I was instantly hooked on mangling images at nobodies behest, save my own. ERHMERGHERD FERTERSHERP!

As I tell marginally better lies than Dering Fertersherp (both painfully terrible), so I felt no need to have a separate account for that.

I also like to reverse troll. As in trolloing trolls. My favourite troll to be trolling was trolling Creationist,good ole uncle Steve (B). Now it is The (Pseudo-cheese-eating-surrender-monkey) Troll. And anyone with an account less than 6 months old who cries DERP, ITG, etc, when corrected by someone who has been here a decade.

Good times. Good times.

So whenever I was in a game as Nemesis the whole LAN came after me.

Not really "Aussie as" though. I'm no Crocodile Dundee, not much of a sportsman, am tertiary educated (in science), can't fix a car, don't go fishing, have never fired a gun or ridden a horse, don't dirtbike, don't drink cheap beer, don't hate refugees, am pro-gay-marriage, I enjoy giving cunnilingus, and none of my kids is called Kylie.

I do brew a fairly good homebrew beer and like all real Aussies I hate Fosters. I did drive a Holden Commodore for quite a few years and I am frequently found near a barbecue which has never known a 'shrimp' but has seen plenty of prawns. So it's not a total disaster as user names go.

I used to tell people that a "holocaust" was an idiomatic unit of measurement like a "murder" of crows. Any number of sockmonkeys together was a "holocaust" of them.

Really, when I registered I noticed there were a ton of users with "sockmonkey" in their username and I thought they were all lame so I wanted the lamest, most unimaginative name possible coupled with something kind of offensive because I was a new kid in town ready to shake up sockmonkey-username-based posting.

Now I look down and see all of my notes for posting humor for today revolve around Romney's "BINDERS FULL OF WOMEN" gaffe and I don't have any apocalypse humor ready. I already have a bottle of Code Red ready and two P'Zones. My internet posting command center is across the house. I have become part of the posting problem that I sought to overthrow.

I have no apocalypse-themed humor and I must post.

Back in ye olde days of free internets via AOL CD's I think I was maybe 11 years old and enjoying the heck out of Final Fantasy VII. You had to use a whole new account/username every time you started a new free trial. I ran through UltimaSephiroth, UltimaCloud, and UltimaRedXIII (real original, I know). I got to UltimaCaitSith when my mother finally agreed to just pay for the service so I didn't need to hunt down another CD every month. Ended up using the crap name so long that it became my staple. It got shortened to UltimaCS for Fark specifically because I accurately deduced that you're all a bunch of glaucoma'd geezers who can't tell the difference between UltimaCaitSith and UltimateCatShiat.

Well, apparently I was so good at it, they gave me the nickname monster which i felt was apropos... so it kind of stuck... well, as you know, I am Indian so... it just kind of fell together after that.

Dracolich		2012-12-21 06:38:00 AM

It reminds me that you can only really get a good measure a person by how they react when forced well outside of their routine.

It's from when I was DM'ing somewhere around middle school/high school. It was the one piece of my campaign that was never at the level of the characters. It would go around destroying towns and seeking magic items. The players would try to fight it, and often it was the defining moment for their characters. The ones brave enough to fight it would die within a few rounds (resurrection and all of that was available, so death was an expensive learning experience). The ones who cared about the townsfolk would figure out a way to get them out safely while the town was under attack. Neutral characters would often loot the stores of anything they had their eye on earlier. Evil characters were a little less predicatable. One tried to lead the monstrosity to the tavern in order to ignite it. Another convinced a low intelligence fighter to rush in and then looted his corpse. Having an enemy that was far too powerful forced them to break from their typical routine of "rush in and slaughter" and let them simply try things.

This lead me to use it in video games with the same people as a joke, and I've kept it around here and there.

ykarie		2012-12-21 06:55:22 AM

YKarie was the name of a a villain I created when I first started GMing roleplaying games. I reused her a few times, but had a few players who thought she was a Mary Sue, and that every character that looked vaguely like her must be 'the big bad of the game'. They became obsessed with finding this character, that I just had to give up using anything remotely related to the original villain.

About the same time, AOL finally opened a local number for dial-up internet (ahh, the days of 14.4kbaud), and I needed a name to go by. The name just stuck.

Adjective Bird Whiskey: I wrote a bunch of words on a poster board and jizzed on it. Biggest gloops of mess won.

I played World of Warcraft and that was my Priest's name. Started out shadow then went holy (planned for the future). It's carried here and to the PS3.

It's the name of my Night Elf hunter (guess where!). The spelling (I pronounce it "Goober") was done specifically to mess with people. Had a raid leader ask me how to pronounce it once. I told him: "Goo-Bear. It's French." After that, that particular alt was known in my guild as "The French Guy".

Slang term for my former job.

When I was in the Army, my MOS was 05H, the long formal title of which is "Electronic Warfare Signal Intelligence Morse Interceptor". But no one called us that. We were either "hogs" (based on the 'H' in '05H', 05D were "duffys"), or "ditty boppers".

I believe that the name comes from how you vocalize Morse: It's not dots and dashes, it's dits and dahs. The vocalization of dits, combined with the stereotypically unmilitary way the Army Security Agency would typically march, made for an interesting term that rolls off the tongue.

Anyway, when I got out of the Army, I got my ham radio license because I really enjoyed Morse, and that allowed me to keep using it. I still think of myself as a 'ditty bopper', and it's a unique enough name that no one else had it.

I saw how people reacted to mundane and unimportant objects, and how people react when one in the crowd starts doing something stupid. Namely, watching COPS, World's Wildest Police Videos, most of the stupid criminal/stunt shows on TruTV, and of course Johnny Knoxville and his crew.

...nah alcohol was mostly involved.

PostApocalypticTribe		2012-12-21 07:30:42 AM

I have collected around myself and interesting and useful group of people. One night we were talking about how we'd fare should societal collapse occur and I declared that my post apocalyptic tribe was the best. Thus that has been my go to forum name since.

My Post Apocalyptic Tribe
A Handy Woman (Me - sewing, baking bread on a fire, canning food, making soap, I can learn handy work pretty quickly etc)
A Grunt (My husband, he's dumb but he can move heavy stuff)
A retired electrician and a handy man (My father in law, he can fix and build anything)
A hobby gardener (My mother in law)
A Nurse (My sister in law)
A construction worker (My brother in law)
A very smart person (My sister)
A police officer, trained paramedic, and volunteer firefighter (My other brother in law, he has a lot of guns)
Some who will tell us how we're doing it all wrong (My Mother)

Pandora's Litterbox		2012-12-21 07:31:33 AM

I've a cat named Pandora. Her box is in the cellar (to keep the dogs out of it). Just as I was finishing cleaning it out, my very bestest friend called. She asked what I was doing. I responded, "I was cleaning out Pandora's litterbox." She laughed her infectious laugh. I mentally put 2 and 2 together. 25 minutes later, I was wracking my brain for a username. Taa-daa.
