I like sweatboard better - it has a passion to it. Mine is rather predictable. 'Phone Went West' has 'our song' status with my partner and me, and I'm a doctor.
I think there is no explanation needed here :)
Tundra is a nickname I've had since the days of short pants. It almost rhymes w/ my last name.
Iused to be marktwain,because it was the 1st pseudonym I thought of, but I felt like I was being pretentious.

you mean this thread?
Oh my god. My brother can do that, or, at least, he used to be able to. Haven't asked him a while. But even further, he can BREATHE through his ass. Full inhaling and exhaling action.
Ahem.
I'm not a member of the band. (Is that still the right topic?)
I'm also not a muppet, although I've been called one before. I think Big Bird is a boy, but that's only because of his(her) voice. My favourite muppet is the little worm, and I'm not even sure if that was a muppet. Or were we talking about Sesame Street Characters? eff-it. I think the worm was called "inchy".
lfish: Lfish is derived from El Fish, a Belgian blues band who unfortunately split up.
As I am a bluesman myself, this name makes sense to me.
EC: My name is just the initials from a longer name which is my cat's name. Ember Cat.
Here you go...one of my favorite groups growing up was Husker Du...hard and fast but in their day cutting edge. One of the members, Bob Mould, who formed the band Sugar after Husker Du broke up. Pick up the disc Copper Blue by Sugar...awesome. Sugar disbanded and he started putting out solo albums and one was called dogandponyshow. Another great disc to pick up....there it is.

My name was made up years ago when my brother and I used to enter chat rooms and stir shit up – much like The Mollusk, but in a less annoying way. It was a lot of fun when an entire chat room, which was once calmly discussing weight loss or theology, suddenly focused all their attention on you.
We both came up with names that sounded slightly abrasive or offensive, but were still somewhat humorous. I figured Rabid Washcloth was perfect because, well, I guess you wouldn't go and wash your ballsack with one...would you?
My name has been with me for years. It came came from a spring break camping trip when I was a junior and high school. Bunch of high school kids party ing in the mountains of western Maryland. One evening, while we were all hallucinating on 'things', my friend came around the corner of my van, and said.."Oh my gosh, Joe's a bear!" So it's tuck every since. It was always JoeBear, until I had a kid, my senior year. Then I was PapaBear, my girlfriend was MamaBear. Now its PapaJoeBEar. So there's my story!
Peace

I was raised by wild dogs in the middle of Northumberland. By day they led me hither and thon. At night when we snuggled together for warmth I used to hear wildfowl make this unusual sound that seemed to hang in the mist soaked air. It sounded to me like the word "ugghie". When I used the word (my first) with my 'family', they GRRRowled their understanding. Hence, Gr-eggy.
And thats a fact.
Its just a coincidence that my human name is Ian Gregg.
Probably.
..and my other human name is 'shite talker' but I didn't feel that it fitted with the overall feel here. ;)
A friend of mine once called me Wiggum (named after Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons) because I ask so many damn questions. I think he referred to me as Lil' Wiggum once and I used that as my AOL screen name several years ago. I changed accounts one time and I couldn't use that again so I chose Olwiggum and I use that for damn near everything now...
QuoteI use that for damn near everything now...
Did you already change your ID-card?
Not yet, but I've been giving it some thought. :)
Not sure if I spelled it right, but Ben Grim is the real name of the thing from the fantastic four, and a band I once palyed in had a song called Ben Grim all about people judging books by their covers and other teenage angsty stuff. We sucked by the way.
I knew you were paying tribute to the thing (my favorite comic book btw)!

there is drunk, and then there is drunkre. I don't know, some friends of mine got really wasted one time and had matching tattoos put on their wrists "Drunk" and "Drunker" is what it was supposed to say, but due to inebriation and an otherwise ethical tattoo artist it came out "Drunkre". I always thought it looked neat, so I stole it. Why Chomsky? I dunno, I've always used his face or William Tecumseh Sherman's on chat forums.

It's my name, plus a misdirectional phoneticism of my last name's initial. Of course, my name isn't "Cris," but "Chrispy" looks dumb.
Another classic bump. :thumbsup:
I got the nickname way back when Will Smith's Big Willy Style was out. My kids started calling me Big Fully. It was a way for them to make fun of how big my hair gets when it's humid - which is most of the time.

Growing up, only my nana and aunt called me "Johnny" (now, everyone does), but I was looking for a way to link my name to my love of MMJ for my Omnichord website (http://johnnyyac.com). I went with emphasis on the last letter of my first name and the first letter of my last name evoking the initials of a certain singer/songwriter's play on his own name.

Best movie ever. Did you see they are releasing the soundtrack on vinyl on record store day and it will come in Pink, White, Black, Brown, Green, etc? How awesome is that.
I would hope for Pink. Even when discussing Boardwalk Empire I call him Mr. Pink.
My boardname is a nickname given to me by my chef back when I was cooking. Its short for "sugar" and is probably mispronounced by most who just read it. Apparently I was overly excited in describing to my chef some dessert I had come up with and used the word sugar about 7 times in my overly-long description (somethings don't change :grin:). I do like desserts so it fits and it stuck.
It's a nickname a few high school friends gave me (minus the 31). The 1st 3 letters of my last name are Pea. Plus we used to go to a bunch of Parliament Funkadelic shows. Blammo! Peafunk was born.
Hans is my father. I'm Andreas.
Great thread bump!
Well mine might seem obvious, in reference to the MOF song. I chose it because my last name is True, so I'm literally a man named truth.
I am a very big Jupiter Coyote fan. Alas, they don't put records out any longer, but still play a couple gigs every now and then. Atlanta/Greenville in December! :thumbsup:
All very good friends of mine and super nice guys to boot. John Felty still plays an incredible slide, although I don't get to see him play it much any longer.

I just got done listening to this 12 min. long song, and I like it a lot. It sounds like jazz-rock fusion with a bit of Grateful Dead mixed in (especially the drums jam near the end).
nice if i turned one person on I feel accomplished. The slip began as a jazz/world fusion/jamband and were def influenced by the dead. they went into more indie rock during the 2000's. They opened for MMJ on several dates during the Z tour and closed out MMJ's 2 performances with the Boston Pops.

Yes! Reservoir Dogs is my favorite move of all time too! I got out of the military in late Feb. of 1993, and the movie had come out the year before. I didn't know anything about it until I rented it on video tape. After seeing it, I was obsessed with it for quite a while. A friend of mine from the service lived a few hundred miles north of me in central Illinois, and we would occasionally meet half-way between his house and mine in a national forest in southern Illinois to get back to nature. Needless to say, the perfect music was always a must on these occasions. Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa and a few others were in a constant rotation. Well, after turning my friend on to Reservoir Dogs the previous time we hung out at his house, he had become almost as obsessed with the movie as I had. We got all "tuned up" in the woods, and he put a tape into his car's tape player (with speakers sitting on the roof) and said to just wait and listen. He had recorded the entire movie's audio! My brother was along for this trip and we all got so into listening to the movie at full volume in the woods that we almost couldn't take it. All kinds of connections (real and not real) were made that day. After we started to chill out a bit, we decided to drive about an hour to Carbondale (where Southern Illinois University is located) to see what was going on in the little college town. WE FOUND A MIDNIGHT SHOWING OF RESERVOIR DOGS PLAYING!!! Our trip was complete! My brother later got me the Mr. White and Mr. Orange action figures for Christmas and a set of screenplay books of all of Quentin's movies he had written up to that point (Natural Born Killers, True Romance, Reservoir Dogs, and Pulp Fiction). I don't get out to the movies much any more (I usually buy DVD's instead), but I never miss a Quentin Tarantino movie in the theater. I can't wait for his new one, Django Unchained, to come out this December!
Ha! Awesome story man. Those nights where things just click are so memorable aren't they? That's really cool. I'm envisioning the Mr. Orange in the back seat scene turned up loud in the woods. :shocked: :tongue:

It's the initials of my first name, maiden name, and then my last name. The number is completely random. Riveting I know. My nickname is LPK but that seemed too short too for a username.
It's a anagram for Great But or Utter Bag :thumbsup:
It's my actual name... not very imaginative I know... :embarrassed:
I'm from Iowa, the Hawkeye State, home of the University of Iowa Hawkeyes...with no pro sports teams, college sports are big in Iowa.
Well it started as BringdaRuckus but it was always a nod to Elizabethtown but with a little Wu Tang love. It became tedious so it was shortened.
mine is just a nod to my Christian/Islamic/Hindu/Shinto/Taoist/Wiccan/Scientologist/Rastafarian heritage.
I like Star Wars. My name is Jacobe.
Yep, that's it. When I finally took a notion to register for the forum I had a hard time coming up with a name that wasn't already taken. (Where the fuck are all these people??) I finally decided to try something that would give a nod to the band's Shelby County roots, because I figured non-locals probably wouldn't think of that.
I don't have any relationship with Waddy or Peytona other than driving by that exit a zillion times on my way up and down I-64. I always thought Waddy Peytona had a nice ring to it, though. Like Mr. Clark, I'm not a fan of that Peytona Waddy sign.
Quote from: Mr. White on Mar 09, 2013, 09:57 PM
Hey Waddy Peytona, I think I figured out where your username came from. While watching one of the local Louisville news broadcasts, I heard them mention the Waddy Peytona exit near I64. I immediately thought of you. Is this where your name came from?

He would come around in character, practicing his accent. He always called me Yim Yodd, and the nickname stuck.
Seemed natural to use it when I joined the forum.

first initial of my name (david) and my last name and i picked 99 cause I've always liked that number.
It's a nickname given to me as I have been known, on occasion, to be able to work some magic. For example, pulling 3rd row Radio City Music Hall tix 20 minutes into the TM general sale. It is usually said in succession, "the wizzard, the wizzard, the wizzard".

Fantasy Golf. Yep, I'm that kind of loser. Back when I discovered this here forum while trying to order a copy of Okonokos, I discovered that I needed a user name. I had never joined a forum of any kind (and have not joined any since), so I didn't have anything snappy at my disposal. I had just joined a fantasy golf league with a friend of mine however and he wanted to name our team "out of the rough" or "tiger and bunny" or something stupid. I went with Dangerfield - "when you buy a hat like that you get a free bowl of soup."
That's my story.
I came up with sillyboob as an email address I could give over the phone when placing orders for something. I figured I could tell if the person I was talking to had any sort of personality or not based on whether or not they laughed.
Some have laughed, others have remained dead silent.

Blucas is a real dude who is a friend of mine. As many others in here, I needed some info from the forum and simply settled on Blucas, not expecting to ever come back. Blucas is a portmanteau of Bluto (he's big and burly) and Lucas (his last name). Funny thing, he always liked and accepted Blucas. However, one drunken night, years after Blucas had stuck, I called him "Bluto Lucas" and he got real mad...he never knew why he was Blucas before that moment. He could probably rip off all my limbs so I'm lucky I'm not typing this with a straw. Anyway, some of you know me as Flynt Wigbaum, which is a fake name story for another day.
