Its weird that, (not your name) but how different cultures have different onomatopoeia's for noise. Because we all hear in the same language, (that And sign language although I am thoroughly misinformed on sign language anyway. But fair enough with words, bas they are normally derived from our ancestors/conquerors, but surly it would have been a good idea to unite sign language users under one language. |

Paperboy  Posts: 30 Joined: 14 Apr 2008     | Well my name Brodden was the name of my friends doggy who was crazy go nuts. We went out from my birthday and long and behold the dog dies. Heart attack, little mini doberman. So ever since, (6 years) I would name almost everything Brodden, unless I wasplaying a JRPG then the name had to be Crono for the male lead's name in honor of the best JRPG character fro mthe best jrpg game ever. RIP Brodden |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1557 Joined: 31 Dec 2007   | Mine is Latin for 'Live again', and has been used as an alternate term for 'Reneissance' in some smaller countries during their own cultural rebirths. I chose it because I like the idea of bringing back old customs and ideas to our own culture that has gone overly PC and beurocratic. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1587 Joined: 5 May 2008     | There's a series of books called Remnants about a bunch of people who survive the apocalypse by being shot off into space aboard a ship called the Mayflower. One of the main character's nicknames is Jobs, he's a techie and he took his name from "Steve Jobs" who in his words "Created a revolution in his garage." I just thought it sounded cool, so I changed the 's' to a 'z' and here we are. |

... Wow, flashback. I remember planning to read that when Applegate announced it in the last Animorphs book, years ago. Never got around to it and eventually forgot. Gonna go buy. =D |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2787 Joined: 5 Aug 2008  | I was having trouble finding a good XBL gamer tag that wasn't used yet, so I looked through a list of unused tags. I saw the tag "rotten milk" on the list, and since at the time, I used to say butter a lot (don't ask why) my mom said, "rotten butter," I tried it, it worked, and the name just stuck. |

Copy Clerk Posts: 76 Joined: 23 Jul 2008  | Bioshock. 43 is my lucky numbers and all my friends said that I reminded them of a big daddy. The other names I used are Gunsnipe43, because I like guys and to snipe. MistaBubz which is basically just another version of Mr.Bubbles43 and then Bubblegun, which is a combination of the one ones. I've stared using that more and more as its unique and fun to think about. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1175 Joined: 17 Jun 2008 | Because Silver was taken. Oh, wait. You're going to want to know more, right? Silver is what I'm called IRL, and it's going to be official when I get done with the paperwork. Silvertounge is from a song by Sonata Arctica, or really, their song The misery, that I confused with the first one. I really liked that song, and I really liked the title of the other one, so I tend to use it when Silver isn't avaviable. If both are unavaviable (has happened once or twice I think) I tend to just translate it it into Swedish, for Silvertunga. Cool I am or what? |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 486 Joined: 14 May 2008 | In my high school, I was on the soccer team. In one game, a buddy had a throw-in and it was headed to me. The son of a bitch behind me headbutted me, and got a concussion for his trouble. My friends made the "if you joined football you wouldn't need a helmet!" jokes and Helmet stuck. |
Red Guard  Posts: 4912 Joined: 14 Oct 2007   | Labyrinth used to just be a cool word I used as a screen name back in the Yesteryear of high scores on Arcade games, Commander Keen and the like, where I'd shorten it to LAB to fit that three letter box. Since then, it's evolved to be the most accurate word I can think of to describe my sense of humou, among other things. It has nothing to do with Pan, or David Bowie. |

Well, Mr. Helmet, with all due respect you do have an extremely thick head. It was really funny watching that guy headbutt you... As for mine, a few friends made a band when we were all in junior high. They were all scrawny wusses, and couldn't move their own instruments, amps, etc... and recruited my help. They started calling me their Roadie, and it stuck. |
