Why did you choose your user names

[The Rock]

I obviously put a lot less thought into this than you people. I HATE professional wrestling, but The Rock used to make me laugh to no end. If all pro wrestling was was grown men acting like morons insulting each other, and there was no actual "wrestling" involved, I'd probably watch it just to hear all the silly insults.

Anyhoo, when I chose this nick, my plan was to become better at UT than all the annoying little 13-year-olds that were the bane of my existence at the time. Using The Rock as a nick ensured that I could get on their wee little nerves by taunting them with things like "can you smell what the Rock is cookin?". Pitifully, I stunk so bad at UT (and still stink) that this dream never became a reality. Now, I just don't care what nick I use, and tend to use my real name on newer forums.

[ALBPM]

I like # 8 or the Monday Lunch Buffet. Green Curry and Chicken. Wednesday is good too.. Red Curry and Chicken.

I know....Don't even ask me why there are no cats and dogs in the neighborhood.....DOH!!!!

Paul

[paulcs]

My user name was recommended by my first ISP in 1994. Apparently, "Paul" was already taken. Dull, huh?

My first Internet experiences were a complete disaster, by the way. I logged on for the first time and was confronted by this ugly green UNIX interface. I didn't know from UNIX, and got nowhere for about a week. After entering a command and making a typo, I'd hit the backspace button, and a bunch of characters would pop up. (I think the only browser available at the time may have been something called "Internet in a Box," although it may not have been out yet.) It was definitely pre-Netscape. Finally, I got to some ARCHIE or GOPHER menu. There weren't any options for anime or porn, so I gave up.

(OK, this next part is embarrassing, so don't tell anyone.)

Much to my eternal embarrassment, I would eventually pick up an account with AOL, and racked up close to $400.00 in charges in one month -- and I still hadn't found the porn! So much for that! I would eventually get my hands on Netscape 1.0 (I think), got myself a real ISP with a really unreliable email account. I would maintain two separate email accounts, so people could send me messages to one and "cc" me on the other. Between the two of them, I think I got most of my messages.

[agallag]

I'm another boring one. I joined this place before I got any creativity in my usernames.

agallag = Andrew Gallagher

Fun eh?

I have a few others I use in various places. At some boards I'm Wonko42, which is a bit of tribute to Douglas Adams. On Counter Strike I'm JoeyJoJoJrShabadoo, which was from an episode of the simpsons...

[Dr Mordrid]

I got the nickname "Doc" in college because of my habit of blowing the curve on anatomy exams. A friend later saw a flick about a sorcerer named "Dr. Mordrid" and started calling me that on his BBS. It stuck bigtime (as if I had a choice) and I started using it as a handle soon after.

Dr. Mordrid

[Hati]

Hati is the nickname I received when I was only a few weeks old (back in 1958 ).
Still a lot of people keep calling me Hati - not Gerhard, my 'real' first name.

[Fat Tone]

Well, my first name is Tony, and my second name is, well, you probably get the idea!

T.

I might regret this, but anyone care to invent a nick for me? (please don't be too rude )

[Pneumatic]

OK, this is bugging me.

Liz said "My friends in yorkshire go out and get drunk and go get a curry afterwards" I know that they don't have a few beers and then go out and have a big bowl of a Middle Eastern spice.

Once more I ask: What is a CURRY!!!

Vindaloo is my favourite

[Chris Blake]

Kindness:

A CURRY is a generic term for of dish of Indian/Bangladesi origin from a takeaway or restaurant (usually with flock wallpaper). They’re usually spicy but can be quite mild, the “Korma” being a the low end of the heat scale and the Vindaloo being a the hot end.

We Brits are rather partial to them, usually after lots of beer.

[Kaj]

My nickname?

Well.. It's my first name, that's all.
I do have another handle though: DJhairbear (don't ask)

[The PIT]

The PIT came from the flame wars between the beta boys and the rest of murc. I thought this is the pits so I called myself The PIT.
Curry is a British self inflicted torture. Basically you do this. Get drunk find a Curry house and make sure the curry is very Hot. Eat loads of it throw up and go to bed. The next day you wake up have the shits and walk around looking ill. After the weekend you go to work and tell your mates what a shitting good weekend you had. Can't see the point myself.

[Tempest]

Because I really like the game.
