primushead

Sep 28, 2005, 10:49 AM
There are some very interesting names on the board, and I was just wondering how everyone came up with them.  Mine's kinda boring though :-/

I chose primushead by default.  I used to go with oysterhead at one point, but it was always taken when i went to register...so i figured, "what the hell" and just went with primushead.  To be honest, I want to change the name...but, what the hell.

I just put the U2 avatar on in preparation for seeing them in atlanta (sorry ya'll, u2 is my true guilty pleasure).

Anyone else?

one time someone reffered to me as a specialist of Madden Football games, the name stuck somewhat, and it's also an Interpol song title.

my avatar is Omar A Rodriguez-Lopez(sp?) and i chose that because he is an amazing guitar player and a future rock god.

EC means whatever you want it to.  (It is short for something, but the truth is way less interesting than what you could come up with.)

My picture at present is from a trip I was on in June. :)

name: HOW DO YOU KNOW, i love that song and i love the line involving cake. it's always stood out to me for some reason.

avatar: smoking monkey, which i believe to be the ultimate form of comedy. it used to be more accepted, now it's sort of politically incorrect. however, i really don't think it gets funnier than a monkey with a cig.

Ha, we discussed that monkey here before. strangely he was offering his cigs to the other monkeys too.

I picked doctorinthehouse because I love Phone Went West (unlike the band, it seems  :'(). It has had a sort of 'our song' status since we saw it performed live. I joined the forum the next day.

The alpha thing is a secret message to my lover  ::)

well, it started out as Eiseyrokker, which was my instant messenger handle that i come up with in 8th frade, because i was a metallica whore, and wanted to sound badass.

But then I just shortened it to Eisey, because that's a little more personal.

The icon is the mullet because it is.

"Rock and Roll's Most Prestigious Haircut"

Yeah. I'm thinkin of changin my screename again to tomEisenbraun, because that's my name, and I just switched my AOL instant messenger to that.

okay, I'm tryin on tomEisenbraun. it's still Eisey, so don't freak out. The avatar remains the same, as does the man. If it freaks you guys out too much, I'll change it back.

It's a little weird, but I'll learn.

I saw Les a few years ago at Tremont in Charlotte and people kept yelling 'primus sucks' (keep it mind it was a frog brigade show) and he got super pissed and yelled at a guy to his face for saying that.  It was pretty entertaining.

Eisey,
Did you get the mullet man from an Ernie Ball ad, Looks identical if not. My claim to fame is bringing the mullet to Westville OK. in the 4th grade.

rat's prayer is a song by the soft boys, robyn hitchcock's first band, but that might not tell you anything at all.  my avatar at the moment is dan bern, and thats his clever little explanation of how we're here now just below.  check out his song 'no missing link' for more info.   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

hehe... I thought you sprayed rats.

 :-/

My handle comes from the Simpsons as most of you probably know already. I ask a bunch of stupid questions all the time and a buddy called me lil' wiggum one time and it stuck. I used to use lilwiggum, but I switched names one time back in the day when I was using AOL, so I went with olwiggum and just use it for everything these days 'cause it's easier to keep up with one name as opposed to 1,000.

My avatar is Space Ghost, because he rules even though I haven't watched it in forever.

That's so funny - I really did think you were a big Primus fan!

I think I posted this before but here goes:

My name in Japanese is pronounced An Do Ryu. I love Chinese & Japanese dragons.
Ryu means dragon in Japanese so my best friend when I first came out here, an elderly gentleman by the name of Mr. Takahasi (kind of like my Mr. Miyagi!) gave me the nickname.

God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.
