Easy question. Easy answer!


And seeing how many people are on this site, I'll have lots of interesting answers.




I'll tell you how I got mine when others have posted.

Nicki... we already have a thread relating to this:

http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php/topic,491.0.html

Tubeway Army is the band Gary Numan was in.. Armies have Generals, no? There you have it.

The favorite movie, and the character that resembles me most are called Donnie Darko.

It's my name. Velvetoneo is just something that sounded cool, and cloudbuster comes from the Kate Bush song "Cloudbusting."

it's my initials.

My middle name is Nicole, so I shortened it to nicki, and then threw Morrissey at the end. I don't capitalize the name either. It's my pen name too.

My real name is Ashley *gag*

well....my full screen name is: Quirky_Cat_Girl (I am a girl, who loves cats, and is very quirky)...then I decided to just shorten it to "Quirk"....sounded cuter...and still describes me to a "T". ;)

I never woulda guessed that!!

And to think, this whole time I was thinking about a dog that whistles... :D

As posted previously in another thread:

Philip Eno is my screen name, but not my real name, though my name is Philip.

At the time when I first started out on Message Boards, and seeking a good screen name, I attended a BBC Radio recording (comedy music show called Jammin', with Rowland Rivron) and a line from the show was, Brian Eno oriental cousin Philip Eno, and it suck with me.

I had been dubbed the name Catwoman many, many, many moons ago because I love cats. At the time, I was owned by 4 live ones and  I used to collect all things cats-porcelin, wood, posters, etc. (until I ran out of room). Not to mention my feline qualities.  ;D  I still have many of my cats (not to mention my 2 live ones)  but just not actively collecting them anymore (but still get them as gifts). When I got on-line, that was just the logical user name for me but there were so many "Catwoman"s out there that I needed something unique. I added the "ofV" to make it different which actually stands for "of Venus" (but could also stand for "of Vermont" too.)  But most people around here just calls me Cat.  ;D

I thought you got your name from when people asked you to do things all the time and you always answered "Me How?"

...and mine. ::)



When I joined this board I went by the name of FaultyDog (I still use that name on other boards), because I happen to like Fawlty Towers and it kinda had a nice ring to it. I think I remember reading it somewhere on another messageboard, so there was a Faulty Dog before me somewhere else (not sure if that one's still around).
I also used "Names" for a username for about a week, so people could actually 'call me names'...d'uh.
But after that I decided to use my real name.

"The manager is faulty?"

It's the name of a Rolling Stones song.

It's what I'm feeling right now.

my name is christine.  when christina auguleira (that is spelled so terribly wrong, i know) started calling herself "xtina," my friends started calling me "xtine."  and it just kind of stuck.

I started out lurking (and occasionaly contributing) in the Lyrics board as a guest.

Since I originally had no intention of giving a real username, I used the most generic name imaginable - "foo" for my first name, and "bar" for my second.

The avatar of Trimac20 - my internet avatar - dates back to about October 2001 when I first created my second hotmail account (my previous internet avatar being Ragemaster4, which lasted from 1999 to 2001). The 20 has no signficance - the number 20 just came to mind.

KK has been my nickname for about 30 years.

I'll explain again. Loki was the Norse God of mischief. He was hated by all the other Gods.
He was an outcast of sorts. He was also the 13th, and unwanted guest, at a banquet.

I have gone through life,so far, feeling a bit of an outcast. I never fit into any group, and
I often feel forgotten. I am a practical joker and can be quite mischievous. I was born on
a Friday the 13th. So, from this, loki 13 was conceived.

Yep...I thought that that January 2003 flub on "Lingo" was hilarious, and it seemed to have stuck.

I thought Spacehog was a weird name, and I like the band Spacehog.

The first four letters of my real name "Stephen" with "chan" tacked on to the end of it.

Agrimorfee is a corruption of the word "amphigory", meaning "parody" or "something that, after careful reading, really has no significance."  :D

This is actually the title of a 1980 film, which was considered OK in its time, but nowadays is considered B-rated.

I would actually like to remake it, and see if it gets a better reception than the original.

I just convinced a friend to go to Gettysburg, she is going in August.  We were talking about the war, and I told her she couldn't call herself a buff until she'd seen Gettysburg.  :)

She also must go up to Little Round Top and scream "bayonet" at the top of her lungs.  Tell her not to try and reenact Pickett's Charge by herself.  I'm told it looks silly. ;D

Obbop

Pronounced Oh Bee Bop

OB Bop  the name of a song on the 1975 KGB-FM "Homegrown" vinyl LP.

A charity affair for the United Way of San Diego California. Proceeds going to the United Way.

Local artists without recording contracts.

One of the songs on that year's LP was OB Bop.

OB stands for Ocean Beach, a section of San Diego that in 1975, prior and later, was reminiscent of the Haight/Ashbury of San Francisco fame due to the people dwelling there, visiting and the businesses present. A rather hip place.

The song was a catchy ditty with groovy lyrics.

Shortened the title to Obbop and used it since 1996 when I first wandered upon the Web.

I got mine way back in 1987.

In that year, I was in Panama going through Jungle Warfare training.  My squad was doing a long-range land navigation problem.  Every 15 minutes, we were getting calls on the radio, changing the location of our final destination.  Every time this happened, I would ask for clarification as to why we were being changed, but they would not tell me.

One of the guys in my squad asked me what was going on, and I told him "I don't know, they are just feeding me bullsheesh."

His response was "Oh, you are a Mushroom.  They are keeping you in the dark and feeding you bullsheesh."

Of course, that was exactly what was happening, and the nickname stuck.  From then after I was known to my squad as "Corporal Mushroom".

In fact, between 1990-1993 I had one of the biggest BBS systems in the bay area, known as "The Mushroom Garden".  It was a monster for it's day, 3 lines, over 1 GB of files online, and FIDONet!  All accessable through 9600 bps modems.

21 years later, and I still use that nickname (if I am not useing BOHICA, another military term).

And for those that were on before the big reset a few years ago, I was then known as Mr_80's.
