How did you come by your username?

[punkncat]

Mine was a lame play on words based on trying to find an unused email name a long time ago.

I love cats and so Punk and Cat, as well as the fact that I was born on Halloween so Pumpkin Cat. It was thus shortened into punkncat. Its worked out rather well in that no forum or email account I have ever signed up for had it already taken.

How about you?

[Anjin3515]

I was captivated by the 80's Shogun mini series....and then went on to read the book about 15 times so far.....

I loved that mini series as well. I need to look it up online and watch it again....

[phatty123]

I used this nick on all games and everything official its phattyescrt (phatty123 being shorter)... being short for phatty escort... escort being my 93 escort gt (green). Phatty because its pimp as all living hell.

[Foxworthy]

My name is Jeff Fox. I went to high school when Jeff Foxworthy was popular. So one thing led to another and it kinda stuck.

[Swampy]

Got mine from my older brother. Well back in my high school days I dated the drama queen psyhcotic "village bicycle" named Molly. Well my older bro hated her and called her a swamp donkey on night when he was baked and he made some comment about calling me the swamp donkey king or something like that. He probably shorten it cause he couldn't remember what he said before or my real name at the time.

[Freebird]

the song, its alllll in the song.........my favorite song

[personman]

TMBG - Particle Man

[magmonkey]

PARTICLE MAN PARTICLE MAN DOING THE THINGS THAT A PARTICLE CAN!!!!
when he gets wet does water get him?

mine came from being the only mag friendly tech in our area

[behemoth]

Back in the day when we had lan parties, i didnt have a gamertag, and at the time i had some ghey screenames/forum handles....

Well, some nerdy kid (lan party, remember?) goes 'behemoth' - had to look it up, never heard it before -- It fit nicely.

be·he·moth (bĭ-hē'məth, bē'ə-məth) Pronunciation Key
n.
Something enormous in size or power.

I'm 6 foot 4, 260lbs... and can bench almost that much too..

[questionful]

I registered on the specops forums just to ask a few questions about the A-5. Well I did. Then half a year later I began posting again and now I have like 3k posts over there. I've abandoned the specops forums now, and I blame them for my rediculous username. I remember trying to think of something, and I had a few things in mind (hittmann :( ), but I thought, I'll create a second account with a cooler name after I just ask these couple of questions.

And now I'm "Questionful". :tard: DOH!

[Lenny]

Some guy at church YEARS ago couldn't remember my name, so he yelled out "Hey Lenny!" and I looked around trying to figure out who Lenny was. Since I responded, it stuck. Everyone at the church calls me Lenny. And I kind of like it. It's not a nickname you hear often.

BTW, awesome thread. :headbang:

[Stayhuge]

My friends and I used to hit the Gym all the time. I was a swimmer in high school and college, and during the season, it was tough to keep muscle mass on, so our objective, all season, since we were sprinters was to Stay Huge, so I made it my AIM name, and Ebay name, and figured I would keep it.

[B-Pow]

My last name is Power and my first name starts with a B...drunken frat brothers would scream "hey B-POW" over the music at the bars...it just kind of stuck. To this day it's the only nickname I was given that I don't hate.

[RobOpel]

Mine's pretty simple. My name is Rob, and I have a Opel GT project car.

[punkncat]

Mine's pretty simple. My name is Rob, and I have a Opel GT project car.


One of my cousins had one years ago. Loved the lever to open the lights. He wrapped at around a tree and darn near killed himself. The car of course was a casualty

[tech-chan]

I became famous around my tkd school for kicks to the head. I'm pretty smart and knew all the rules to paintball, so they called my technicality chan.

[sixtoes1313]

A friend of mine said I looked like one of his friends who actually had sixtoes. Others agreed and bam- unique handle.

[rawbutter]

On every forum that I've ever been a part of, I've been Iceman... until now. (Iceman was already taken, although I have yet to see that person ever sign on. Hmm... maybe I can email the mods and steal that guy's username.)

As for Iceman, it actually came from the movie "Top Gun." Iceman was the pilot who always flew very by-the-book... ice cold... no mistakes. So, a bunch of friends started calling me that in college because of the way I played GoldenEye. They even say it the way Tom Cruise did.

Since I couldn't use Iceman, I used rawbutter instead... my website URL. The name for that came from an inside joke that came from of a friend who had pneumonia. The doctors ended up draining fluid out of his lungs, and he said it looked like "raw, lung butter." So from then on, whenever he used butter at the dinner table.... well, you get the idea.

[questionful]

I always assumed you took your name from the whiteboard.


http://www.the-whiteboard.com/cast3.gif
Swamp Fox (Vulpes vulpes kenaiensis)
Your typical laid-back rec player, Swampy is good but not great, and thinks a 'Mag is plenty "high tech" for him. A regular hangout at the Shop and frequent bystander when a new gadget gets tested, he's usually the first one to call the fire department. Doesn't mind helping sweep up the debris.


What exactly does Doc mean by "thinks a 'Mag is plenty "high tech" for him"? :nono:

[cougar20th]

Mine came from one of my cars when I started on car forums. The car is a 1987 Merc Cougar 20th Anniversary Edtion. Still have the car 10 years after buying it. Still have the screenname after about the same amount of time.

No Markers In Baghdad

Iraqis don't like being barrel tagged nor do they find being bunkered "pwnage"

[Spider-TW]

NMIB

No Markers In Baghdad

Iraqis don't like being barrel tagged nor do they find being bunkered "pwnage"
But there is that very nice video of the insurgent with an AR type rifle and the video is by the guys coming in on his right. He gets bunkered with what sounds like a grenade launcher. They may not like it, but hey... Here's to the guys doing the job... :cheers:

My name was programmed into my head by my wife and children (without the -TW, plain spider was used up years ago.) When someone says "Frank" I will barely notice. If someone yells "spider!" I am programmed to give my immediate attention. It has been embarassingly apparent at times, but at least it gets my attention.

[Swampy]

I always assumed you took your name from the whiteboard.

Nope had that nick for a while before Whiteboard was around.

[LegumeOfTerror]

made something that was nonsense, use it for most everything. either this or Space Pope, but thats mostly for videogames.

[questionful]

I think your story is the funniest one so far. :rofl:

[mstrdbz]

About 8 years ago I had a friend who got me into dragon ball z. About that same time I started teaching taekwondo, so I was used to being called Mr. The night I created my username, there was an episode of dbz on the tv and I just put the two together.

[The Action Figure]

Song By Knowdaverbs haha

[Whee McGee]

I go by tWM (the Wise Mexican), but it was never shortened to something nice and sweet like other nicknames. While I was attempting to sign up for Star Wars Galaxies (horrible game now, don't even bother), I put in Whee McGee. 10 minutes later I was told by my friends never to use that name for a account again, and I had found myself a new Nickname :D

[Bartman]

Mine was given to me in college in the early nities I mean realy early like 90 ,

Couple of the girls I was in school with, it stuck, and I had the nick all through my carreer and on line.

Have been called this for years now.

Bartman

[questionful]

what do you guys think of my username? be honest now.

[MoeMag]

I have one of those names that nobody can pronounce... So when I go to restaurants, or anywhere that asks for your name... I avoid the ensuing... What? Roy? Huh? Can you spell that? and a generally annoyed look, by dropping some random name and Moe is one of the many on the list.

What’s really funny is when I go places and people remember me... but I don’t remember the name I used last time I was there.

Then the Mag part doesn’t need explanation

As far as a nick name... The most used one is "The" in front of my name, so not very useful.

[68magOwner]

How did I get my user name? I owned a 68 automag.

[StygShore]

Back in High School ( like 1988ish ) I helped a couple guys with a Local BBS called The Necropolis - there was a rule made we all had to have names dealing with the dead, undead, or something of that nature.

I chose Stygian Shore, and have used it ever since in some variation or another. To be on the Stygian Shore is akin to being near death.


Styg

[anomoly40]

Well I set my path on being a machinist back in high school.

Ano for annodize, Moly for the high melting point element Molybdenum(not the herb in Homer's Odyssey).

Put them together and you get anomoly. 40 was because anomoly was taken and hotmail suggested 40.

[Jaan]

I used to date a really sweet and very pretty girl from India and this is the nickname she gave me. It means life but is roughly akin to calling someone beloved. It seemed exotic enough so I used it for the name of the first character I made for 3rd edition. Shortly after that I made it my screen name on the D&D boards back in 2001ish. It's almost always available so I use it on most boards...here, M Carter Brown, Paintball Nation, Yankee Division, Phantom Owners Group, Stock Class Paintball etc.

Here is the Wikipedia entry on the name and it's local variations;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaan

[blitzkriegboom!]

mine's a song by deathstars.

[behemoth]

Sally, thats not tremendous power, my 5'10'' 230lb roomate can bench over 350. Hes also working on a quadrouple digit squat. :p

Now me, not so much. :rolleyes:

How did I get my user name? I owned a 68 automag.

Yeah? And he works out daily, dosent he?

I havent hit a gym in years.

I'm a big boy, lets just leave it at that.

[psychowarden]

An old X-box/Gamecube game called Hunter: The Reckoning, the end boss was the Warden of a prison, and he was a few cards short of a full deck. So, he was a Crazy Warden...or Psychowarden.

[trevorjk]

my name is trevor. JK are my last 2 initials. infact i think this is the only place i use this nickname otherwise its Trolliroadkill. oh well

[68magOwner]

Yeah? And he works out daily, dosent he?

I havent hit a gym in years.

I'm a big boy, lets just leave it at that.

Oh I'm sure, I was just poking some fun.

[paintballfiend]

There was a point in my life when all I did was think about paintball. I would buy 3 kinds of PB magazines and visit all kinds of forums. I would obsess over what would be my next marker purchase, which would keeping me up at night. I spent a month's worth of paychecks on creating the perfect Phantom set-up , which still isn't complete. I wanted to dedicate my life to this beautiful game. But then...tragedy stuck. Needless to say I have never been the same again.

[Spider-TW]

my name is trevor. JK are my last 2 initials. infact i think this is the only place i use this nickname otherwise its Trolliroadkill. oh well
Oh...I thought your name wasn't trevor, you were just kidding... :p

[Chris_automag_07]

I loved that mini series as well. I need to look it up online and watch it again....


i own that series on DVD..disk set...amazing...(and no...i dont live in my parents basement)

edit: i live on the top floor.

[mpsd]

Just my initials: Mendel Phillip Sahm Diesendruck = MPSD. Used since I had to create my first e-mail.

[robnix]

From filling out forms:

First Name: Rob < True
Last Name: Nix < False

[robnix]

Just my initials: Mendel Phillip Sahm Diesendruck = MPSD. Used since I had to create my first e-mail.

You have a truly great name!

[Caboose]

Red Vs Blue.

Caboose's character mirrored my own. The dim-witted, clumsy, teamkilling ****tard.

[behemoth]

You have a truly great name!

I thought it said dieseltruck.

[y0da900]

I was always a Star Wars nerd, and 10 years ago when I made my first email account, yoda900 was taken, so I threw a 0 in there instead. Every now and then I'll forget a password somewhere and make a new name by reverting it back to the original intent or toss on another 0 at the end. I think that happened here, I know I had an account from well before 2006, I just don't remember what the hell it was.

[olinar]

mine is actually really stupid.

I used to play the game Diablo II and was trying to find a good name that was suitable for that time. I came up with Olinar, my brothers name being oliver so i just adapted it to my liking.

I am however going to use Ironhyde from now on. A couple weeks ago in my history class we were supposed to come wup with an invention that would be beneficial to a specific era. Well after just watching the moving Glory we figured a nice body armor would be suitable. so we sketched it all out and everything. couldnt think of a name so i tried to come up with something that was as fierce sounding as Dragon scale.(as on the newly developed personal armor being developed) then i remembered Ironhyde from Transformers. So i just said it and they all loved it and it kinda stuck. so thats what ill use from now on. I started using it over on PBlegion and ill probably eventually change my gamertag for xboxlive and others.

[Jaan]

I thought it said dieseltruck.
Lol, I read it as DieselDrunk. Now that makes a nice mental picture, and a good screen name methinks.

[mpsd]

HAhahahaha thanks guys! Actually you're not the first ones to read it like this (Dieseltruck and Dieseldrunk) but it's always funny to read this... My grandparents have a box full of letters they received with variations of this surename.

And, with such a name, specially here in Brazil, I always say to my father that the day he opens the journal and sees my name in the news he will be sure it's me :rofl: No way someone could mistake that name...

[SummaryJudgement]

Well, I had been floating around AO for ages and finally had something I wanted to post about, or PM or something, I don't remember.

So, I came up with SummaryJudgement. I thought it sounded cool at the time and didn't know if I would be frequenting AO that often (boy was I wrong). It basically means that you would be found in favor because there is no case against you. I wish I had chosen something else now, it's not really an easy nickname to go by, especially on a field. It's not like "BigEvil", where you could probably just yell "Big!" and have people know who you're talking about/to.


Main Entry:
summary judgment
Function:
noun
Date:
1798

: judgment that may be granted upon a party's motion when the pleadings, discovery, and any affidavits show that there is no issue of material fact and that the party is entitled to judgment in its favor as a matter of law.

Good thread by the way.............. :D

[Madmarx]

Big fan of MAD MAX movies except Beyond Thunder Dome
My name is Mark
I needed a business name to buy paintball stuff wholesale about 15 years ago
Now I use it for auto parts accounts
sooo I came up with MadMarx

[Zone Drifter]

I draw/drew some cartoonish characters, one based after me in a fox-like form, and the other 3 i made up. I called them the Zone Drifters, since they never stayed in one place for too long. The zone was a name given to any given area that they were in. So, zone drifter is basically the group of characters i created.

[snoopay700]

Well a while back i saw this one message board with a few people with the name snoopy, and this was about the time AOL 7.0 came out, and mind you i was in 5th or 6th grade. Well i figured i would show all of them up (didn't think highly of them) and name myself snoopy7.0, and i liked peanuts, so i figured it would all work out. That was until i tried to sign up for AIM, so i had to make it snoopay700 because it wouldn't let me have snoopy700, and i figured why make a new name once i joined this one message board called hdskate, and since then it's been my forum screenname.

[MaxPowers]

I got mine from my hair dryer.

[SN toter]

When I joined AO I was toting a Super Nova...hence SN toter ;)


...miss that marker...

[mr.mag218]

mr.cool used to be my unreal tournament gamertag. and since this is a mag forum, cool became mag, and 218 is my AMA racing number.

[maniacmechanic]

I decided a long time ago , I had to be crazy to be a mechanic ( i'm 48 and all i've ever done is turn wrenches) , thought Maniac Mechanic sounded good , on my right bicep I have 2 wrenches , a screwdriver & a pair of channelocks tatooed on my arm Maniac on the top & Mechanic on the bottom

[d4m4don3]

old bbs name? back when I was in 5th grade, plus I was a madmaze fan and the evil character in that game was called The Mad One. Of course leet speak was just beginning back then. :tard:

[Sumthinwicked]

unreal nickname from my gaming clan Zombie Battalion : bf2 name ,bf2142 ,name my buisiness name ,name of my tank build(suzuki samurai), and my dotcom, paintball team name

[Rabbit]

It started off as Ricochet Rabbit, because of an uncanny bounce effect I have on paintballs, and I have a tendency to 'rabbit', which is run like all get out then slide into the closest cover to avoid being found/shot.

Over the years it got shortened to simply Rabbit. Unfortunately it is a very popular screenie, so I can't use it everywhere. And I can't stand seeing Ricochet mistyped (OCD)

[91Foxtrot]

Back in High School ( like 1988ish ) I helped a couple guys with a Local BBS called The Necropolis

Styg

Wow, I remember dialing into The Necropolis with our speedy 2400 baud modem. I spent most of my time at Woody's Nest, though, playing SRE and BRE.

Of course, back then "usernames" were more often called "handles". Ahh, memories.

My handle came from my MOS. 91F - Psychiatric Specialist, which has been gone for a while now.

[geekwarrior]

i'm addicted to pc gaming.... really started with MOH, Flashpoint...now it's COD 4 and BF 2 Project Reality - about as close as I will ever be to being a warrior, sides paintball :rolleyes: we're all kinda geeky here on AO in our own way....

[Outlaw5]

My radio call sign as the Executive Officer of Delta Company, 3rd Battalion, 73rd Armor Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division; the Outlaws. Home of the only Airborne Armor Battalion in the free world, 3-73AR! CO=6, XO=5, 1SG=7...etc. I was XO so...Outlaw5. "Outlaw5"

[smilestyler]

Ninjeff. :ninja:

[ThePixelGuru]

I used to date a really sweet and very pretty girl from India and this is the nickname she gave me. It means life but is roughly akin to calling someone beloved.
Huh, see, I always thought your name was just an alternate spelling of John, pronounced Jah-ahn. Run 'em together like us Massachusetts folk do and it's pretty much the same as John. Hah!

Anyway, my nick is about 8-9 years old, one of my teachers referred to me as "the Pixel Guru" since I was always making stuff in Photoshop. I registered it and it kinda stuck. I've found a couple nicks I like a little more, but the nick's never mattered much to me and I just keep it for consistancy.

[Smoothice]

When I was about 12 I decided I wanted to be a pimp when I grew up.

I wanted a name that meant something as a pimp.

To get the high class hoes you would have to be smooth.

And to keep them inline you would have to be cold like ice with the back hands.

So smoothice was born.

My back up pimp nickname is silky smooth. It just has a nice ring to it.

[warpig13]

I got mine by supporting George Bush :rolleyes:

[warbeak2099]

Mine comes from the Redwall series of books by Brian Jacques. Warbeak was a sparrow warrior in one of the books. The 2099 part comes from Marvel Comics. The 2099 series is a futuristic version of several characters including Spiderman 2099, Punisher 2099, and Thor 2099.

It's all about the giant chest for me.

[warbeak2099]

Which reminds me that I have to get back into extreme shape by the end of Xmas break if I don't want Marine Sgts on my rear. Not too shabby right now tho...

[warpig13]

Which reminds me that I have to get back into extreme shape by the end of Xmas break if I don't want Marine Sgts on my rear.

Ok im done.

[The-Jackal]

The team I was on was named The Jackals, so naturally, I am The-Jackal.

[secretweaponevan]

I trained at the SCARS Institute of Combat Sciences. I am pretty-much mild-mannered. My first name is Evan. This was the only nickname ever given to me, so I kept it.

[pyrodragon]

i have had this nick for a long time. i was 14 i think when it stuck, i was always playing with fire. so there for friends called me pyro. when i played football in high school i got nicked "Crazy Carl" for my team nick i go by busa.

[RavishingEddie]

As a kid I used to be a big wrestling fan and my favorite wrestler was Ravishing Rick Rude. In high school I was a pretty good varsity wrestler and named myself Ravishing Eddie, but I have plenty of nick names :p

[kruger]

From my online gaming days. Just picked Kruger out of the thin air, and later the Freddy Avatar was given to me, sorta matched my aggressive, gaming nature and it has just followed me around the net since. Altho, now, dough-head would probably be a better tag for me........

[buzzboy]

My last name is busbey pronounced buzzbee. My dad has always been called buzz.

[jade_monkey07]

way back in the day i was trying to think of a new email addy while watching the new episode of the simpsons sunday night...And its stuck for everything since and it will continue

"We must find the JadeMonkey before the next full moon! we found it already sir, it was in the glovebox. The ice scraper and roadmaps too? yes. EXCELLENT everything is going according to plan(tenting tingers)"

it took me many years to finally find a jade monkey

[Ratzo]

I've been using Ratzo since 1988, on arcade games.
I liked Ed"Big Daddy" Roth and his character "RatFink", I didn't want to rip off the "RatFink" name so I tweeked it to Ratzo.
I have used RatFink as my Avatar on many forums.

[Thotograph]

My life is photography and my intials are T.H. It just kinda made sense...

[cyclic]

Back in the early days, when VM-68's were new. I picked up a F-1 illistrator. I ported the valve, opened up the bolt face, and a very light trigger job. I had a rather decent rate of fire. I had to explain what a "cyclic" rate was, and it stuck. Then I went a bought a full auto 9mm and it was set in stone- I was Cyclic.

I remember when the first semi-auto's came out and I was just lusting on them during lunch break. Things progressed pretty fast at that point, and before long I was running a mag, playing the local teams, and the field "airsmith" (if you can remember when that term was "hip"). Been out for a long time, and had to dig the old mag out. It was the only gun I never got rid of. Seriously thinking of pneumag conversion, just waiting on some extra time and money not dictated for the family.

[Big'n slo]

yep

[TwilightG]

Started out as my username on an Infiniti G35 car forum.

I own a twilight blue G35.

In retrospect, I'd prefer a different name but meh... whatever

[rabidchihauhau]

My teammates gave it to me (Werewolves of NJ/PA, one of PB2X's 'Top 50 Teams of All Time').

I'm not a big guy (5'5", 120 pounds) but I am aggressive and my teammates decided that what I most reminded them of was a small, rabid dog.

I then chose to name a publishing company after the nickname and produced my well-received Maxing book about tournament tactics.

The name was initially spelled correctly (chihuahua) but I got so many people writing and posting that it was spelled incorrectly, that I adopted the incorrect spelling (chihauhau) so that I wouldn't have to explain all the time.

Now I get people telling me its spelled incorrectly...

[psychowarden]

My life is photography and my intials are T.H. It just kinda made sense...

I probably would have done the same thing, but I started shooting after I made my aliases on forums.

[druid]

Our Family name of Young was traced back to 1200 Scotland.

[mr doo doo]

because i "stink" at paintball :D

[NoLifeLeft]

When I joined this board I had a life-sucking job that had me working every weekend for a couple of years straight. Very little paintball or anything else back then. Things have gotten better but the name stuck. :D

[Robbie]

mine has no imagination at all
insert name here

[dixieoutfitter94]

I was wearing a dixie outfitter shirt and was trying to think of a name that probly wasnt already used :p

[Ruler_Mark]

I rule and my name is mark

[tebo]

Tebo is my last name. I was going to try to use that xbox live but it was taken. So I used unfairtebo.

[Chronobreak]

I dislike clocks :mad:

and it was my old Name from playing Red Alert online

[Rudz]

Rudz is short for RUdzeyenrkncpt, my AIM name

RU are my initials

Dzeyenr is designer

Kncpt is concept

Designer concept refers to a piont in time when I was working as a graphic designer, and every design begins with a concept, rudz pretty much followed me on every forum, and all my pb buddies call me rudz, even my dad calls me rudz every once in a while

[MuKen]

Depending on the accent you write my last name with, it translates to either "Mu" or "Ken" in japanese. And I go by a philosophy of not placing too much ego into competitive things, so I thought the name fit rather well.

[Lenny]

Mine comes from the Redwall series of books by Brian Jacques. Warbeak was a sparrow warrior in one of the books. The 2099 part comes from Marvel Comics. The 2099 series is a futuristic version of several characters including Spiderman 2099, Punisher 2099, and Thor 2099.
I used to LOVE those books. My favortites were always "Outcast of Redwall", "Salamndastron", and "Matimeo".

[Will Wood]

My parents gave it to me. :clap:

I always thought of shooting people in a friendly sort of way. I just like to reach out and touch people. :)

There ya go. If you are stationed at Ft. Campbell you will go to zero day.

[DBC]

I am a really unimaginative person, so I used my initials. If someone made me use another name, I would choose "hammer". Why? Because it is a link to my past occupation and it somewhat describes the way I play PB.

[dahoeb]

Well, I took french class in highschool, and my french teacher always pronounced my name (Robert) as "Hoebear". Some of my friends called me "the hoeb" in class, and that just sortof eventually became "da hoeb". Now it's just shortened down to a single word. Thus is the evolution of the online name I've been to lazy to change for about 6 years now.

[SquirrelCommander]

A couple kids I knew started a scenario team a few years back & they wanted me to be captain. They didn't have a name, but knew they wanted an animal for a mascot. So I came up with S.W.A.T: Squirrels With Advanced Tactics. The rest of the story is self-explanitory! :headbang:

[SummaryJudgement]

I used to LOVE those books. My favortites were always "Outcast of Redwall", "Salamndastron", and "Matimeo".

Yeah I agree. Its name should be changed. :D Maybe arm ball would be more accurate. Or better yet, thug ball :rofl:

[Silverback]

I am a Radiation Protection Technician (RP), and I'm 6'2" and 265ish lbs. I was working a Steam Generator Replacement Outage in South Texas. The Containment Coordinators kept trying to perform work at inappropriate times (easiest way to explain to NON-NUKES)and since I was the biggest (and loudest) RP on the floor, they started refering to me as the "Gorilla". After one especially trying shift one of the Coordinators mentioned to a co-worker that I thought I was the "Alpha Gorilla". According to the co-worker, he shrugged his shoulders and said,"He is." After that they refered to me as "Silverback" and I have carried the handle with pride ever since.

[d4m4don3]

I wanted to confuse everybody??

It's an old handle from my bbs days when I thought I was uber cool and thought I was hardcore cause I had an advanced copy of doom. Maybe I should change my name. :rolleyes:

[PumpMag]

I've always had a 68 Automag, but when I was invited to join a competition paintball team in 2004, I got the chance to play a lot of paintball, nearly every week. I never really played pump until I joined.

I had so much fun playing pump that when I saw an Automag Pump for sale, I just had to have it. Being a Mag owner since 1992, it was only natural that I would adapt really well to using a PumpMag.

[devildog]

i chose this name when i first got in the military because i am a total toolbag. as a matter of fact, im a tool shed. i hate my name :(

[SAMURAI "PREDATOR"]

Predator was my nickname giving to me by friends and team mates, after i started playing paintball. Aftre the first year i made a custom helmet that si now my trade mark...After my first scenario game, myself and a good friend (Kamikaze) created a scenario team called
6 SAMURAI, (after the first 6 orignal members) but then later changed to team SAMURAI after recruiting some new talent.

[REDRT]

Betcha can't guess? :rolleyes: My main gun for years was a red splash Classic RT thus my screen name. Still have it and it is once again my main gun after I sold all the Emags.

[Uhlan]

Nothing to do with paintball.

I've been a Civil War reenactor for a very long time, doing Union Cavalry (http://mainecav.org).

Years back I got involved with modding a PC based World War I flight sim called Red Baron and joined a virtual squadron for on-line play that represented an Austro-Hungarian fighter squadron. I needed a callsign.

http://swwisa.net/uhlan/ua.gif (http://swwisa.net/uhlan)
click the logo to see stuff I did for the sim

My first thought was Dragoon as it related to my cavalry background and even how CW cavalry operated, but it was a already used, a little long since it had to have the squad designation in front of it too, so I went for Uhlan - a lancer, and I became f61j~Uhlan.

So many people know me by Uhlan now that I use it all over the internet as my handle, callsign, even on the paintball field - otherwise I'd probably be known as Big Hairy Bald Guy by now.

[the_anti-ATF]

I hate the goverment.

[pathetic]

....... im just that good.

[ghtpDM5]

many, many hours of boredom on a video game that consumed my life for some odd reason, game wasn't even that good, and its easy to remember now, so its my name for everything

[grEnAlEins]

When I was like 12 or something I got an AIM account. Green Aliens and all variants were taken, accept a phonetic spelling. I have had great luck with it not being "taken" anywhere.

[muzungu_mbaya]

Mine means "wicked white man" in Swahili. It was the nickname given to Capt. Sir Richard Francis Burton by his arab and african porters on his journey to Lake Victoria and Tanganyika after he responded harshly to one of their many, petulant squabbles. Burton was an incredible genius and a badass and (with the exception of the opium addiction and near-constant philandering) I use him as a benchmark of my own personal achievement. He achieved more in his lifetime than 50 average men would achieve in theirs.

[warpspyder]

i chose this name when i first got in the military because i am a total toolbag. as a matter of fact, im a tool shed. i hate my name :(
I feel bad 'cause that kind of made me giggle. Not at you I promise :).

I think I can make you feel better though. I got my name because I had a warpfeed on a Spyder Imagine (before I put it on my emag). Commence laughter.
