How did you come by your username?

[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.

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.

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.

I always assumed you took your name from the whiteboard.

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"?

[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.

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...

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.

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

[LegumeOfTerror]

[questionful]

I think your story is the funniest one so far.

[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.

[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

[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.
