Username thread.

[manual63]

Just for fun, if you feel like it, describe why your username is what it is.

Mine is manual, as in manual on a bike. I needed a number when I first used this one on AOL, so I used 63 since it was the number Rick Moliterno used on Standard Byke stuff all the time. It's stuck ever since.

I also use ToBeCooked for gaming. Basically, it's because I kinda suck so I will eventually get Cooked. Pretty simple if you ask me.

It took me awhile to figure out mara's username.

Hey, a total lack of imagination is a good thing, right? At least I don't forget my login. Well, at least not very often . . . ;)

[EscourtU]

Let's see EscourtU. Hmm. It got me lots of dates with divorced women for a long time. Then I got married and ruined my whole career. Shucks!

[krazykatie]

haha...do i need to explain:crazy:

[transplant]

It was all I could think of when I signed up. I'd just moved here from AZ, "transplanted".

[syntaxjunkie]

syntax: the rules or patterns involved in creating sentences and phrases from words.
junkie: an addict, a person with an insatiable craving for something.

of course, "boozehound" would have been equally appropriate, but somehow less clever.

[ebrandel]

ebrandel - First initial + Last name (exciting, I know)
strictnein - intentional misspelling of the poison Strychnine (I always think of it as someone saying: "Strict? Nein!" - I really don't know how it came into being)
stupidninja - my name for most online games (xbox 360, etc) - I just kept seeing people with names like "Bloodninja" and "Lethalninja" and thought how stupid that was
Funny - used that when dialing into BBS's 15 years ago. A little too common these days to use on the Internet.

[bikeoutback]

I was just getting into mtn. biking when I signed up on a Subaru site and all my users name somehow involve my car so I put the two together and got - BikeOutback - and then had John change this one for me when I became a MORC member, old one was blazer99, hard to figure out what I used to drive eh?

[TrailPatrol]

Just for fun, if you feel like it, describe why your username is what it is.

You mean mine actually needs an explanation? :confused: Okay, how's this?

"I first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of my father, and for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture I've remained, attached as liaison with the Canadian Consulate. "

Ride soon,
:banana:

[Thewavebb]

Thewavebb: I am a avid windsurfer and my favorite rider at the time I chose this username had "thewave" on his sail, so I went with that and added my initials bb.

Uberben: Not hard to figure out if you are hip to todays slang. Uber =super, Ben =my name....so superben. I started using this about 10 years ago before it was popular to attach Uber to things. I rarely use it now though.

[CookieMonster]

I used to be MoMo when I first joined MORC but, that nickname needed to be left in the past.... So, I chose to go with something that always makes me smile and that I've loved since I was a kid CookieMonster :D

[gopherhockey]

Pride on ice. Nuff said....

[igor]

College nickname that I never could shake.

[Danimal]

I still call you MoMo when I see you because I always forget your name.

I'll make an extra effort to let your past remain there.

[Danimal]

I use Danimal because it's cool and it's the word animal (which I was in my younger days) with a "D" in front of it. Thus the name Dan is created (my name) and it lies within the animal.

aHHH, if you get me intoxicated around a campfire and get me telling jokes / tellin' stories you'll find out. Ask Porter, Alden or Tony Benusa they know.

[noise_is_life]

I usually use noise or noise_is_life.

I likes noisy music, I likes art, life is noise, noise is life.

[TrailSquirell]

They call me trail squirrel for a reason, i get squirrely on trails and like to jump from tree to tree or find a tree at any given corner or even on the straights... kinda fun.

[toasthaiku]

An artist where I used to work started a weekly contest to write the best haiku about toast. It was an absurd and pointless exercise so naturally it was a big hit. (You know how people explain stupid things with "It made sense at the time?" Even then it didn't make sense.) <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

I set up a Yahoo account that year but every variation of my user names was taken. Frustrated, I typed two words I figured NOBODY in the world was using. Toast haiku. Absurd. Pointless. Perfect.

Boy Katie, you are just full of the barbs as of late. Keep them coming, it makes my day.;)

[flutterbyes]

I was trying to think of something original and came back to the word flutterbyes which was a cute childhood word for butterflies I got from my dad. Shortly after I created this, John PM'd me asking me if I was a Butterfly Boucher fan - she has a CD titled "Flutterby".

So much for being original! Although I did get to check out some new music I otherwise would never had heard of.

[BKocka]

im boring.

bkocka=brianna kocka.

yep. but like mara, at least we never forget our logins (in theory).

[stoneage]

Wasn't 'flutterby' the original spelling of the word in Victorian times? I think it was then played upon and became butterfly later. Some vague memory of that........

[bike>>rider]

My bike, while nothing special, is still infinitely more capable than the rider who pilots it. Hence, bike>>rider

[biking_stickman]

"biking_stickman" is a variation of "running_stickman" from back in my cross country and track days. I overheard someone say something along the line of "anyone can draw runners - they look like a bunch of stick people."

off topic...has anyone else noticed the new banana?

Its all good.... I'm a better, smarter, and a lot wiser person b/c of my past :D ;)

Off-Topic:
I always did like flutterby better. Butter fies only when thrown :hit:

"Butterflies Flutter By" is sort of like an inverted alliteration? I bet there is an English term for this but I can't remember.


Like Mara and Brianna, mine is self-explanatory. Only, I didn't pick it for ease of logging into the MORC site.

BTW, Mara, that dragon in your avatar reminds me of "Puff the Magic Dragon" for some reason.

[Mountain Jam]

Allman Brothers Band - Mountain Jam, 33 minutes 40 seconds of bliss.

[PNine]

PNine was developed after much thought and consideration of my last name: Paczkowski = P with 9 letters behind it. . . It is just easier. . . .

[Brick]

Brick=Square, boxy, and sort of heavy.....if the shoe fits...:D

[Tex]

Tex - the nickname started years ago in college while on "spring training" trip to Moab. On one of the first days down there I neglected to put on any sunscreen, needless to say I got a little sunburned. That evening while walking through downtown I found a big ol' cowboy hat for like $10 and I bought it. So from this hat an alter ego was born. "Tex" as he's known, is not allowed in my house, my wife doesn't care for his crass attitude and rude comments - not to mention his drinking problem.

Hmmm, makes me think with the upcoming bike trip to Fruita this spring, I might have to see if I can't dig up that old hat :D

[JayPee]

Silly, half-arsed phonetic spelling of my initials, J.P. Also my name when I'm dj'ing to drugged-out ravers and clubbers. Was given to me years ago by a fellow dj when I happened to log into a chatroom when he was on-line...

[stoneage]

I thought that was your alter ego. I assumed your real name was Rated X.;)
