Where'd your USERNAME come from?

Alright, so I've noticed some wierdass, off the wall, and cryptic usernames and I've been meaning to post this for weeks now. Where did everybody's usernames come from? Some are pretty straightforward, but they all have some story to them. So spill!!

"You can bump this in your Satilac, Your Satilac, You can bump this in your Satilac, Your Satilac Player!"

(For those of you that aren't familiar with this, its part of a song, but the song says Cadilac)

Did I metion my car is being recorded by the house survielance cameras? :biggrin:

My dad and I call Mustangs "Muscletangs." It's our little name we have for them. We were talking one day about '60s Mustangs and how they were either pony cars or muscle cars. Finally the name "muscletang" just came up so both sides could be happy.

MUScleTANG For some of you people that don't get it.

Was pissed at the lack of power from my car the day I made my username.

I drive a 2002 Civic Si. I said "Ya know, if I take the C in civic and replace it with the S from the Si, it still sounds like civic. And its a 2002, I could call it Si Vic 02"...hmmm... see there is a reason why I have an S in the front of my name, not just to be hip and cool by spelling things wrong.

This one is my name Brody

My last one that was under for all the other posts was BEASTIEK2 - Beastie Boys fan/K2 snowboard rider.

Everybody always called me Cyprus, Lucky, or Hustler. And 106 was my favorite number. I was going to use Lucky, but for some dumbass reason, I didn't. I'd love to change, but dammit I don't wanna lose my posts :P

hmm...

You know what Uranium is, right?

Element number 92 in the periodic table, with isotopes of 235 and 238?

Yeah, well Uranium 235 produces massive amounts of energy during the process of radioactive decay, as it turns from isotope 235 into isotope 238. Submarines have nuclear reactors, so that the energy produced from the uranium can power the entire ship.

Now, I don't have a car....yet....but wouldn't it be cool if a car was powered by Uranium? I'm sure the radioactive waste would shorten our lives by like 10 years, but we may be able to achieve spectacular results, don't you think?

My name bears the blood mark of my lineage.

It's my last name

Mine is all about my Jeep... If you couldn't tell.

you don't know how nuclear power works do you? All the uranium does is heat up. They then use the heat to superheat water, which turns steam turbines, which turn massive generators. Pretty lowtech, just a hi-tech way of getting there. So it probably wouldn't work very well for a car. :thumbsup:

Whare'd you learn how to spell?

Mine is straightforward, symbolizing my loyalty to the greatest Marque ever. It's also nice to have one of those almost trademark-like names. I also own the rights to 'BMW'.

Before dj's used computers to make mixtapes, you had a little Tascam 4-track recorder. 2 left channels and 2 right channels. So you'd record on 1 set of left and right channels, then go back and record on top of that with the other set of channels. Some of the best mixtapes were recorded with 4-tracks, like Q-Bert's "Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Music", or Babu's "Comprehension".

my former name was "ILike2DriveCars" which was pretty self-explanatory. My current name is my nickname. People at school call me Swigz or J Swigz. My name is Jon Swigart (Sw-y-gert).

Ahhh yes homestarrunner. Haha, great stuff. Nice of you to bring that up. Off to homestarrunner.com!

No explanation available, I just blindfolded myself and typed my username into the Username box :icon16:

Mine is pretty easy. I am pretty much wicked(evil) and I live in NY and ride and work with horses and like to chase cows around(team penning).

..because uranium isn't that stable and oxidizes...I think...lol. Chemistry always intrigues me and is one of my favorite sciences.

Wasn't it said that it takes several billion years for uranium to decay?

Wasn't it said that it takes several billion years for uranium to decay?

Depends on the type. Some uranium decays rather quickly while other types will take longer than all the members of AF's lives put together.

Well, either way, I doubt I'll even be able to find a supply of Uranium. This thread has been hi-jacked :D

Here's how I got mine, its a great story! (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=263618&highlight=kustom+ace)

Kustm, all that readin for that, :lol:

I'm gonna ruin your little joke, if you dont approve delete it as needed
Anyway, I like Kustom (with a "K", cuz that makes it custom) stuff, and Im an Ace. Any questions?

Man, you guys are so unoriginal. I have the most complicated name on here.

Not really, it's my name and birthday.

Let me tell you "whare" my username comes from.

Way back in the year 1996 A.D., this young boy figured out how to use IRC, but needed to choose a handle by which he could be identified. At the time, he was an unashamed Star Wars fan, and loved to read his Star Wars Encyclopedia. One day, while flipping through it, he came across an entry pertaining to "The Great Heep", who was apparently a large pile of discarded droid parts which had somehow come to life (this was from the Star Wars cartoon, I believe). Fancying this concept, the young boy decided this unloved creature needed a fan, and thus named himself after the living junk heap. "The_Great_Heep" was soon shortened to "TheGreatHeep" (easier to type), and inevitably ended up being further shortened, by his peers, to "Heep" (though a few rogue souls preferred "Great", or, confusingly, "The"). Years past, but the name did not go into retirement until around 1999, when "I_am_a_dot" (see AIM name) brought our subject a freshened level of attention. This moniker, however, soon joined "The_Great_Heep" in the "too taxing to type" (aka TTTT) bin, and was largely replaced by the return of the nice, simple, somewhat cheeky and oft proclaimed cute name, "Heep". It has since remained as a unique (though a few Uriah Heep fans try stealing it), easily remembered nom de plume.

Mine is my nickname. My real name is Doug, but everyone calls me Dugie (especially the ladies !!) and the number was the last 4 digits of my phone number in college; or is it my PIN number. :dunno:

So naturally dugie6551 is my "call sign"

If you can't figure mine out, I'll cyber slap you...:)

My name is from the Teflon Don John Gotti

Ever since i saw him on the news when i was like 8 i thought he was intresting, his life story is crazy, he was like the Al Capone of my generation, and i liked his style

Plus it just sounds cool :D


http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=500/237210gotti_1.jpg

Gotti was definately my second favorite mob boss.

On the old music board I was on (now a pathetic piece of shit) I used to be called "one-two-three" no reason why, then we had a massive crash, everything got lost, then I was known as -Davo, as one of the admins was -G, I liked the idea of the '-' infront of the names, I don' know why, so because my name is David, and people call me Davo, I put '-' infront of it, and it's stuck on me since mid 2001-ish.

-Davo.

Gotti was definately my second favorite mob boss.

Behind Al Capone right? I think alot were "better" than Gotti like Luciano (built the syndicate), Meyer Lansky (polak lol, made the Italian mafia a business not a gang), Carlo Gambino (died when he was an old man, in his bed, the boss of the most powerful Mafia Family in America) Gambino was cool because he was low key, a real mafioso, he modernized the mafia and was one of the last old school dons, they kept it real, followed all the rules, tried keeping it a secret organization like its supposed to be. Now everybodies a rat.

But Gotti is my favorite just because of his style, he was flashy, cocky and he was THE man in every room he walked into. He won every case the government brought against him and laughed at the trials, if it wasnt for dirty snitches nowadays (and in his case the biggest one in history) he would of still bin boss, that would of never happened 50 years ago.

Ah well... tough luck, some peoples lives are real intresting tho

you sure know a lot about mob bosses


anyways, my username comes from my name (Rick) and the fact that when I registered I had a T Bird. SO I called myself Rick With A T Bird, or Rickwithatbird.

For those of you who didn't get it.







R.I.P. T BIRD!

you still ahve it...(your new minature) :biggrin:

lol, this feautre that searches for links pertaining to the topic in the thread is getting interesting , I've got links to 'depleted uranium weapons' and 'Nuclear Consulting - Building your own reactor'

ah, the internet.

My name?

I used to drive a 1985 Chevy S-10 with a 350 V8 in it....

I tried to think of a good name, and I am a maniac, so I just combined it

Now I am an internet god and have had this name for years

i had a 89 supra turbo so i tryed supraman89t and it didnt work out so 1 day my aussie friend said supaman and i just threw 89t on it and that is my name!

MdM is a limited italien supercar magacine that comes out once a year.



btw.. click here or in my sig :D

My names comes from my graphic work and my initials.

My first name is Gurpreet and last initial is S, so therse the GS, and also because my graphics name is Graphic Serenity.

The reason i have -'s infront and behind my name, is because if i didnt have them, i wouldnt be able to register on most forums for my name size.

you sure know a lot about mob bosses


ya.. one day i thought to myself, i havent read a book in years, i need to read something. But i dont like reading books, so i had to get something that was really intresting. I got a book about the history of the Gambino Crime Family (like 450 pages) and finished it in like a week and a 1/2.

I find that stuff mad intresting... it just shows how a bunch of immigrants, that came from pure poverty made their gangs into a business which would be in the top 10 of the Fortune 500 if it was legal. Meyer Lansky died when he was like 82, he owned hotels, casinos, golf courses, and he had $400 million in the bank. He's the one that really said "we're bigger than US steel" like hyman roth says in the Godfather

First name: Raz
Last name: Kaz





:lol: it's justa nick name I was given since I started school, it was so hard for kids to pronounce my name correctly and to distinguish mine from my brothers...so Raz Kaz it was.

Of course Capone, i got that huge poster of him right in front of my laptop. I just liked how good of a leader he was, and how feared he was, the man was an icon that only a few people were brave enough to go against. Ruthless and fearless, gotta admire it in a way.

People have been calling me this since Jr. High, so it just seemed to be a natural choice.
