Story behind your username...

[AndyC]

Name and last initial. Never felt a need for an alias, at least not here.

[Rev. Powell]

The cool avatar came first, then the name naturally followed. 

[Dennis]

I, like some other members, just use my actual name which is, of course Dennis.

[Trevor]

I actually wanted to change my user name to something like........I dunno, ermmm, Zap Rowsdower, yeah something like that. Then I discovered that there is a Zap Rowsdower among us.

Just pick a name from the Space Mutiny episode of MST3K. You could be Slab Beefcake or maybe Bob Johnson.

[Flick James]

I'm Flick James, b***h.

[The Burgomaster]

Mine is a tribute to all those Frankenstein and Dracula movies where the Burgomaster (or Burgermeister . . . or one of the other variations of the word) was a supporting character.

[Nukie 2]

Nuff said.

[claws]

Nuff said.

Not really. I just had to google your name because I'm apparently not very familiar with video games 

[Nukie 2]

Video games?

[Raffine]

Because my dream is to buy all my clothes here:

Just kidding.


'RAFFINE' is the rather fancy and innocuous sounding nom de plume used by film maker (sic) Andy Milligan in his film credits to hide the fact he pretty much did everything on his movies including directing, writing the script, selecting the music, designing the make up and costumes, building the sets, etc.

[JaseSF]

My real name is Jason, or Jase for short. The xs symbolize me being straight edge. The SF refers to my love of science fiction, especially 1950s science fiction.

Video games?

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare comes up when I google Nukie 2, so I assumed its from a video game. wikipedia comes up with nothing, and Urban Dictionary tells me this:

Dedicated fans of the fictional characters of Luke and Noah, a gay couple on the daytime soap opera "As The World Turns", as portrayed by Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann, respectively. Title derived from the couples "celebrity name", Nuke, which is a combination of the names Noah and Luke.

Sorry for making such a big deal out of this but where ever your name originates from went by me unnoticed.
How uncool and not up to date am I?  

*edit*

Mystery solved http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squee

I stopped reading comic books when I was a kid so that should explain my unknowingness.

[Mofo Rising]

Never noticed the origin of your name, Nukie 2, even though I've read all those comics and that very picture used to be your avatar.

My name makes me laugh, but I'm not a huge fan of its origin anymore. The Doors have a song "Roadhouse Blues" where the final chorus is Mr. Mojo Risin', which is an anagram of Jim Morrison. I also have a TPB around here of the collected Sam & Max, which has a flipbook component where the author tells you to "flip like a mofo!" Put the two together and you get Mofo Rising, which I have used for over a decade now.

Of course, I am decidedly not a fan of Jim Morrison (still a huge Sam & Max fan), and my name has been used more than once by other people who are not me.

But hey, that's my self-chosen name, and I'm going to keep using it.

[joejoeherron]

old friend of mine, who after having a dozen porkchops in a can (beer),would call me that. the name  stuck
