wheresthecarrot

Since we're all asking more personal questions, I was wondering if anyone wanted to share the story behind their, well, screen name I guess.

It's pretty obvious where mine came from (for those of you who know "Jack Frost"), but some of the others are truly intriguing.

"Anybody want a peanut?"

raj

my initials: Robert Andrew Jacoby.  I couldn't come up with anything more original

AndyC

Mine is pretty obvious. Should point out that my full name comes up when I'm in my office, and AndyC when I'm at home, because I don't bother to sign in there. I'm the same guy.

---------------------
"Join me in the abyss of savings."

Fearless Freep

"Fearless Freep" was an unseen character in an old Buggs Bunny/Yosemite Sam cartoon.  My dad started calling me that when I did some stupid stunts as a child, such as jumping of a refridgerator

=======================
Going places unmapped, to do things unplanned, to people unsuspecting

AndyC

And all this time I thought you were Indian.

"Join me in the abyss of savings."

Chadzilla

Mine's pretty obvious, I think.

GODZILLAAAAAAAAA!!!  :-)

I also like keeping my own name in there too.

I can't wait to see Squishy's response. ;-)

Chadzilla
Gosh, remember when the Internet was supposed to be a wonderful magical place where intelligent, articulate people shared information? Neighborhood went to hell real fast... - Anarquistador

Flangepart

Mine is a secondary name, as the one i used in my letters to the Burbank show, on WLW, was taken! Soooo...insted of Meatloaf Mike, i chose Hironimyus Flangepart. Not as alliteritive, but sutibly weird.
I like to think it has a certian sense of style......

"Aggressivlly eccentric, and proud of it!"

Scottie

Well, when I first started frequenting this board, I thought I was the only Scott here. Then, when another Scott started posting under the same name, I thought I should change it for the sake of avoiding confusion. Pretty damn interesting, eh?

-Scottie-

Dano

"Bring on Fearless Freep!"

He was a high diver, as I recall, and when he didn't show, Sam tried to force Bugs to do the dive.  And of course Bugs kept tricking him into jumping.

Dano - A combination of my first name and the letter O... Pretty much every group of friends, classmates, and co-workers I've had has eventually wound up calling me that on their own without me ever telling them that others call me that.  Maybe I look like the guy from Hawaii 5-0 - I've never seen the show.

Dano
"Today's Sermon: Homer Rocks!"

frannie

my last name is francis.  when i was a freshman playing ice hockey in college my coach started calling me frannie.  just stuck after that.

J.R.

My name is J.R. Fascinating, huh? It stands for Junior, and I've been called it from day one to seperate me from my dad. I hate my parents.


~I cried because I no shoes, until I met a man that had no feet. I killed him and made shoes out of his skin.~

systemcr4sh

Mines a embarassing story but a few years ago this dude I  knew got into hacking and tryed to get me into it and we had to make up names and systemcr4sh was one I made up. Apparently I was dumb and putting numbers in our names back then was all the rage. It stuck and I just used it for stuff I signed up for. Right now I go by  " tuwhitt_ " on the internet, but I doubt I'll change it on this board. TuWhitt comes from a song by The Anniversary called "Tu Whitt Tu Whoo"


-Dan

"Evil will always triumph, because good, is dumb"
-Spaceballs

"Now life's like a b-movie, That no one wants to see,
Here comes the zombie, Portraying me."

Fearless Freep

Ash

I used to have a pet cat named "Ash".

Hence the name ASHTHECAT.

My real name's Jamey.


Deena

I decided to not be clever on this board and just go by my name.  Speaking of which, the chick on the Andy Richter show that he told he loved and she left him was Deena (prolly spelt some deginerate way and not my way) also.  Watching that episode jacked my head, becuz I am not used to hearing my name and someone not addressing me.

Deena
