Where Did Your Username Come From?

[Supra-Jim]

Owned a supra and used name that on other forums. Now i dont own a supra and CBF'd changing my username.

On the up side, with no supra anymore, time, finances and most importantly garage space is now being diverted into brewing!!! Plus the other half finds spending money on brewing to be much more acceptable than spending money on cars.

[Bizier]

I love Viz - esp during the 80's

That is funny, my other mentioned nickname was Viz / Vizier, and helped provide the iz in Bizier.

 

[peas_and_corn]

Back in the days when I was in year 9, ICQ was quite popular. I was trying to work out a good name for myself, and was working one out with my friend. He pointed out that I have a CD called 'Eat Your Peas' by Martin/Molloy (hilarious), and CDs by KoRn- so why not Peas_And_KoRn? So that's what I did.

I used it in many forums, and it began to evolve after so many years. First I dropped the capital 'R', making Peas_And_Korn. After that, I lost the capitals all together, so it became peas_and_korn (which was my original name here). Soon after that, I became tired of the KoRn reference (a band which I had moved on from) and got the K replaced with a C- peas_and_corn. Thus, this is my name.

My avatar was originally a photo of me and my friends that had been cropped to just show my eyes. I used it because it looked kinda creepy. For a while I did't have one since I changed servers and the old avater was hoasted on my server's webspace. My current one is my MSN avatar as well- of course, the infamous HAL. The phrase "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I cannot mash that" sounded funnier at the time.

 

[gibbocore]

hardcore
softcore
metalcore
everything was getting a core so why should i miss out.

 

[brendo]

hmmm nothing too exciting really, my name is Brendan and my friends shorten it to Brendo - end of mystery really.

Avatar is a photo from my wedding - it is the one shot out of about 800 that focuses on me (unlike the 100 fashion shots of the missus).

incidentally (and OT) I am officially one year into my life sentence today...

Brendo

 

[antains]

Like most people in Australia who are born to foreign parents (they're English, I'll have you know ), I looked back to part of my heritage, which is Irish.
My name is Anthony (pronounced Antony, because the English are very proper, I'll have you know - I'll stop that bad joke now.)
The Celtic variation of my name is Antain. Signed up for Yahoo mail as Antain and then forgot the password. Antains was availalbe, so I signed up with that. I've just used it on the few forums I've signed up for, because it seems to make sense to keep the same name.
The avatar is a "painting" I did in ArtRage of myself drinking some homebrew. That way, people know I'm a little bit of a lefty, arty tosser. :lol:

[mfdu]

mfdu is my little recording studio.

everything is branded 'mfdu'. me. my car. my skateboard. my beer.

a little bit of branding goes a loooong way.

but what IS mfdu? used to be M.F.D.U. if that helps.
all i wanted was an acronym. like MUFF (Melbourne Underground Film Festival). i like MUFF.
so mfdu doesn't really MEAN much. My Father Didn't Understand? (really, Massey Ferguson Developments United)

[Jase71]

An old hippy couple I once knew conceived what was to spawn a wee lad on the Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, in celebration of the ancient sun god, the day of which has been plaigarised by Christians as the birth of Christ. And so brought about the coming of a new son in September, because they knew that it was good. Being the year of '71, when this son of the sun was born on the 17^th, , they saw this as a great blessing from Solis Inctivi in being graced with such a wisely coded palindrome of 17/9/71, that they further sought the Roman numerological sequences and found the calendar months of July, August, September, October & November, when expressed in initials, spoke to them the word Jason.

Ok, so I'm just trying to make up for another non-creative forum username.

 

[flattop]

[LethalCorpse]

I used to play a lot of Team Fortress Classic back in the day, as a medic. I'd run around infecting the other team and get killed quickly, but they would keep infecting each other, then, while dead, I'd rack up a bunch of kills. Hence, lethalcorpse.

[darrell.wallace]

I was the only bloke that drank schooners at the little village pub closest to where I grew up and as soon as I walked in the publican would say "Schooey?" and I'd just nod. After a while it just stuck

I had a mate who had the nick name of schooner because the day he was born his old man was at the pub wetting the head. they asked him what he was going to call his new son and in his drunken state looked at the glass he was holding and said "schooner". the nickname has stuck ever since. that was 30 years ago, and i remember calling him that even in primary school.
