I'll tell you the same thing I tell every time one of there threads pop up. My name is a random catenation of sylables. The Dead part is because I can't get to my old e-mail to get to the password, and I dropped in a conversation where people where talking about who was dead. I find out later Anztac stats for Australian New Zealand Trade Advisory Commission, and also something like Australia New Zealand Tactical Assult Coalition or something. I assure you though this name has nothing to do with them. Or anything else for that matter.

Well, see, one time for Halloween I dressed up as a cowboy, like many of the other kids were doing at the time. I was getting lots and lots of SWEET SWEET CANDY and having a great time driving from house to house (wtf do you expect me to do, walk around the neighborhood?), until on the way down to the car, I dropped my bag of candy. "No biggie, I thought", and I reached down to grab the candy...and my pants split at the ass. Maybe I should've gotten a size 63..but I just couldnt find any cowboy-style pants that large...I guess there's no room for a fat NON-online cowboy in this world...

I picked DangerMouse because I like the TV show

Posted by Spydir on Jul. 16 2001,00:40

I picked spydir web because I used to be on this message board made up of mostly computer geeks (just 20-30 regulars), and one of my friends came on and said I died. So the admin deleted my account. I didn't want to go through the hassle of getting my account stuff back (back then I went by "BootLeg"), so just made up some new name. I killed a spider that was crawling around on my desk, looked at the "user name" field and typed "spydir web". I shortened it to Spydir on here because it's just easier, and back when that first harddrive failure happened my old account went biggie smalls on me...

Well, I came up with this one because:
1) It fits me (I'm a funny asshole, though, not a mean one).
2) The whole fake 1337 $p33|< issue.
3) I forgot the password and email I used to register the other ID I used. As for other ID's, There are those who call me . . . Tim. Back in highschool I was Brain (like Pinky and the Brain), then pseudo, then Keyzer Soze. But now, I'm usually just dr_arnie_apesacrappin. Ten points to anyone who knows where that came from.

Well my name is Caroline... in former times I used to go by "Chocolate" on IRC but I got fed up with all the guys who wanted to cyber me (I prefer choosing the guys for that by myself...

). So I was looking for a new nick, one of my netfriends named Jon had JoNnY as nick and suggested LiNeY as short form of Caroline... by now my dad is calling me LiNeY in real life!!!

I always thought your name reminded me more of dynomite. It looks like TNT with a tweak.

I picked Pickle Therapy Lady because of the great number of meanings and word plays it offers. Same reason why I have a work required AIM name that I chose to be NHDCaveJulie...lots of symbolism with lots of potential to be taken perverted also. I'm a beast I tell you...mentally warped from a terribly young age.

Well my family name is Casey (don't ask) and my step-dad calls me Caseman. I originally made the name when I was 9 and i was born in '84. Plus it was the first 3 digits of my phone number at the time. Its also my ex's P.O. Box number and my mother's current adress. 984 follows me around...

"Shifter" -- nice choice in my opinion.

My nick was originally Iconoclast (Deriving from the Greek words icon meaning image and clast meaning breaker and used to describe people who didn’t think that churches should have images on the walls and as such destroyed them and in a modern context people who fought against the establishment such as Thurgood Marshall), being that irc has a 9-character limit I changed it to Icono, then I changed it to icono because I don’t like capitol letters, and being that I registered icono on detnet and forgot the password I changed it to ic0n0 and it looks cooler like that.

I never posted in any of the previous threads on this topic, so I guess I may as well now. Unlike many people have thought, I didn't chose my name based on the line of gym equipment (although I do like to go the gym and work out). The nautilus shell is one of the symbols of my sorority, and one of my personal favorites. I didn't feel like using my usual nickname whenever I was registering (LizzyB5280, a take on my name and my birthday) and I was wearing letters that day, so I decided to go with something sorority-related.

Posted by miNus on Jul. 20 2001,19:49

Thanks for knowing (guessing?) that I'm not a complete dumbass Satch

OH! It's a throttle. Now i get it. Whiskey Throttle, good one.

Posted by satch on Jul. 21 2001,00:10

Anytime, Minus.

I guess while I'm here I'll tell you where I got my name. It's actually an acronym for "I like to masturbate frequently."

Oh, wait...

Posted by Non on Jul. 21 2001,01:13

I would like to know where Nikita got that name. Is it from the cool TV show "La Femme Nikita"?

i have an e-mail address pertaining to flying, so this is the one showing my other side: guns, explosives, mud, woods, bunkers, blisters, no showers, no food, no water, etc. you know, the life of a grunt.
i can't decide, when i go into the military, whether to fly or be a grunt. i'd like to be a marine sniper and/or fly F-117s. or F-104s or F-16s. or V-22s. i can't choose.

My brother, called Ben, had a friend called Jeff Bates and one day Jeff had come round to our house because him and my bro were going into town together. My brother was jsut about to leave but realised his laces were undone and so leaned down to tie them up. He was taking ages so Jeff said 'Hurry up, Ben Dover' and my brother just came out with 'In a minute Master Bates'.

Guess you had to be there.

Mine is a combination of "Durin" from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion" and the prefix "Bel" meaning beloved from David Eddings Belgariad series.
