Subject: How did you come up with your screen name?

Written By: The_Ghetto_John on 01/02/03 at 12:53 a.m.

Mine is simple. My name is John and i live in Ecorse, which really isnt a Ghetto, but me and good ol' Monaco Chris like to joke around about it. So therefore Ghetto John was born.
Now how did you come up with yours.

Written By: Crazy Don on 01/02/03 at 12:59 a.m.

I think this has been done before, but my screen name is pretty simple:  My name is Don and I'm crazy.  I was a Weird Al wannabe, so I came up with Crazy Don.  Originally I spelled it as one word and no caps.

Subject: Re: How did you come up with your screen name?

Written By: XenaKat13 on 01/02/03 at 01:24 p.m.

We did do this some time ago, but we have so many new people here now, I don't mind sharing again. :)

Originally, my screen name was just Kat, which is a variation of my real name.

Both of my e-mail addresses are xenakat13, and that makes for a longer story.

I became a fan of the Xena tv show at a very difficult time in my life.  They were showing episodes out of regular order for some reason, leaving me with a five-week period of shows that seemed to mirror what I was going through: betrayal by someone I thought loved me, physical injury, complete lack of sympathy and downright hostility from people I thought were my friends, and having nowhere to turn for help (or so I thought).  Even fictional, the show helped inspire me to get out of the bad situation I was in and make a better life for myself and my daughter.

Any time I would get discouraged, I would tell myself that it could be worse, I could have a whole Roman Legion, or a pack of angry demi-gods after me. ;) ;)

As for the number thirteen, my ex was wildly superstitious about it, and anything he doesn't like, can't be all that bad.

Put it all together, and it's my own little inspirational message to myself.

Written By: DJ Midas on 01/02/03 at 01:43 p.m.

DJ Midas is my DJ name.  Came up with it in '97 after hearing a DJ at a local club train-wreck his mixes...this guy su-HUCKED.  My buddy heard the awful noise and commented, "he just doesn't have that golden touch like you do..." hence the name was taken right after that.

I started visiting this messageboard back in '99, just trying to find some info on the 80's.  At first I usually just answered "what song is this?" questions, but as time passed I got hooked and disclosed a little more about myself.  

I LOVE THIS PLACE!  :D  (Man, I could go for some Burger King right about now...)

Well, about 4 years ago I joined a bagpipe band and took up the pipes, so I figured this name would be easy for people to remember me by. I in fact don't play the pipes anymore but I do play the drums for the band still. However, I plan on taking the pipes back up in the spring, but somehow TenorDrumChick doesn't seem to have the same ring to it :)

My name represents my philosophy on life.
It's a kind of joke because taoism isnt really an 'ism' at all.

Tao means 'way' in chinese, Taoism is simply following the way.  My philosphy is very close to 'wu wei' which means 'no action'.  I take no action against the natural order of things! (sometimes known as 'laziness' ;) )

One night a friend and I went to a party we hardly knew anyone.  We introduced ourselves to a group of females and I gave the name Race Bannon, don't know why, haven't seen a Jonny Quest episode in 20 years, it just popped in my head.  The funny thing was the next week I was talking with my friend when he starts laughing it up, seems he called one of those women and in the course of the conversations she asks how's Race?  He go's who?  Your friend, Race Bannon.  We both got a chuckle out of it. So since then when I need to choose a member name I go with it.

   One night a little over 33 years ago my mom had this baby that she decided to name David (actually my grandparents first suggested the name, inspired by the biblical ruler of the same name), me.
   After around 32 years had passed I found this web site and decided to join.  After much agonizing, I finally arrived at a screen name that would incorporate a form of my given name with a whimsical ending.  An alternate nic I had in mind was "Davemeister" as a good friend used to call me.

I've been using mine for quite awhile. When I signed for Yahoo and needed a name and I thought hey I'm a bassist in metal band so let's go with that. I tried MetalBass and Bassplayer but didn't like the ring and then rage popped into my head and ragebass was born. Funny thing is that with Yahoo I have a numeral after my tag because apparently I wasn't the first to use ragebass. I chose not use my full moniker because I always liked the way ragebass sounded by itself.

Well, mine comes from my first song parody at Amiright, "God Bless the N.R.A."  I envisioned that song from a "redneck" point-of-view, so I signed it as "Bubba."  Afterwards, when I decided to submit more parodies, I wanted them all to be under the same name, so...I was kinda stuck with it.  I really wish I could change it, as I don't use that nick anywhere else on the 'net, and I really don't see myself as a redneck... ;D

It just popped into my mind. Originally, I wanted to pick "Sifl", "Electric Youth", "Post PC Person",or "Pop Rocks", but I nixed those names.  Not to mention I strongly dislike current MTV &  reality shows. And I'm not a hip person.
I only like music & some tv shows from the 1950's to 1998.
And some movies.  Why "Anti Pop Superstar"?
Because It sounds like I really dislike current pop culture.
