Where did your screen name come from, what does it mean, etc?

(if it's a rerun, I'll kill it)

A friend and I dubbed a former student at the H.S. I go to "AfroMullet", since he had curly hair on top and and a mullet in the back. He was an interesting person.

My name is dumb and so am I... That's about it.

I live in a cornfield in IN with an elevation of 834 feet.

And all the ski areas are 3hours away by car or plane....

**bigtrubs** · 05-30-2005, 10:06 PM

according to my ski buddies, I'm big trouble...

**fez** · 05-30-2005, 10:07 PM

starting when i was a little kid and you could only put 3 characters in space invaders for high score, i always put fez. it is sort of an abbreviation of my last name and was my nickname growing up.

then 'that 70's show' came on tv, nearly ruined a perfectly good lifetime nickname. of course, office space made me see the light.

Samir: No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Nayee-Nanajar. Nayeenanajar.
Michael Bolton: Yeah, well, at least you're name isn't Michael Bolton.
Samir: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name.
Michael Bolton: There WAS nothing wrong with it. Until I was about 12 years old, and that no-talent-ass-clown became famous and started winning Grammys.
Samir: Why don't you just go by Mike, instead of Michael?
Michael Bolton: No way! Why should I change it? He's the one who sucks.

Picked it out of the dictionary when I was about 16. I've used it ever since.

My freinds have recently started calling me "Trout." No idea why.

Fuckin' New Guy. Roomates gave it to me in the fall of '03 and it's stuck. Many of the friends I've made here don't even know my real name. I order pizza using it. I occasionally sign credit card recipts with it. I go to parties and introduce myself as Ben to little response, but when they find out I'm FNG it's a whole different story. I guess it's kind of my alter ego.

**snow_slider** · 05-31-2005, 06:57 AM

No idea where mine came from. I just woke up one day and there it was.

**Tippster** · 05-31-2005, 07:04 AM

Short for "The Mighty Tippster" which was my radio name from '91-'94 at KSKE in Vail.

**Mountain Freak** · 05-31-2005, 07:20 AM

When I first moved to Colorado, I summited 34 14ers in a few weeks... This dude was asking me how many peaks I climbed in the last few weeks, and he said that I'm some sort of Mountain Freak.

**edg** · 05-31-2005, 07:37 AM

Mine is kinda self explanatory, if you know my name...

**Katie4** · 05-31-2005, 07:45 AM

ummm yeah, my name is Katie and I like the number 4, that's about it

**backpack** · 05-31-2005, 08:21 AM

I had to have an 8-character login name for BU, my real name and all logical permutations thereof were already taken, and backpacker was too long. Exciting, huh?
