Whats a Screen Name? this is the name given to me by the gods on the day of my creation as I sprang fully formed from the navel of a cow, as the only begotten son of the forgotten god Cthulhu.

seriously, though. My nickname has always been skeeter, and when Eminem came out with that "real slim shady" stuff he looked at me and said, "Guess that makes you The Real Slim Skeeter"

Josie is the name of a Balinese kitty I used to have as a pet. She is still living in Austin, but with another family who she knew very well before moving in with. I started using her name as a sn when my brother moved to AK and commented that he couldn't remember any of my emails or screennames because he had no reference for them.

Josie was a shared pet between us, so I decided to start using "josiekittie" so we could talk more. It stuck.

Scabman
12-31-2008, 08:51 AM
It was the summer when Scatman had one of his hits on the radio, and a friend of mine commented on how shabby clothes I had.
"Shabman" sounds like shit, but "Scabman" got a nice ring to it, so they started calling me it. My style have been upgraded since that, and I now look like tha bomb, but I still use it as a screen name, and theres still one or two old friends who call me Scabman, Scabby, Scabbers, etc, in real life.

Long before I knew any of you I was in the middle of another forum war, between the local hiphop forum and a forum of some weird swedes from Skäne. One of the Swedish tards referenced to me in a shitty song with lame lyrics and the whole "war" kinda just died out after that.

Here's the real story. . never told before.

I was always called Joker in high school. It came from full metal jacket and I was always the smart ass getting my group into trouble with his mouth. And so on radio, CB, etc they just called me Joker. Well I got the whole email internet thingy started up in college but by that time Joker was taken as a sign on. I refused to have a number like 1 or 1975 etc in the user name. So I tried funnyman and variations of it which were all taken until I came to funeeman. And I've just kind of kept it all the same. I've been able to use it everywhere I've ever wanted to sign up for something.

Well for anyone that doesn't know me I used to like to drink Stella Artois. Can't do it anymore because, well, I have children now and it gives me the worst hangover ever.

But back in the day, I was into Stella.

INTO Stella.

Still don't get it?

I'm not explaining it anymore, you stupid bastard.

rammstein1861
01-10-2009, 06:42 PM
Hmm My sn came from a long line of sn's that started with goten30. In the 90's I was into chatting till wee hours of the morning with lame ass Fucktards. I eventually forgot the password for that sn and not to mention it was a hotmail account that got spammed on a massive basis.

Next was Terminator2029. I have always been a huge Terminator fan, into everything Terminator based. So the year 2029 was the year John Conner crushed Skynet and his father was sent back in time. Also about this Time I had Migrated to Yahoo chat where I found the most fun with booter programs, So I terminated peoples connections to the server when they pissed me off.

Next came Rammstein1861. Rammstein and industrial music is my favorite Genre. SO when I wandered to fy, I came up with rammstein which was taken....so I added the 1861 which as some would know is the beginning year of the Civil War. So it symbolizes my sarcastic chauvinistic and racist symbolism. SO I have had this one for a little more than 2 years now.

Cúchulainn
05-30-2009, 01:35 PM
To start with, I'll cover Society Sucks. I took that username back on FY, during a particularly dark time in my life where I was convinced that society in general, well, sucked. Furthermore, it fit with FY, so I went with it.

Recently, though, I chose Cúchulainn. I chose it because I am particularly proud of my Irish heritage, and recently, I've taken a liking to Irish mythology. For years, I had been turned off from mythology in general, as schools tend to focus on Greek and Roman mythology, and frankly, I never liked them to begin with. Later, as I began reading up on Irish mythology, to further my understanding of my forefather's culture, I found I thought some of that Irish stuff was pretty cool. So I chose Cúchulainn, a hero of the Ulster cycle. It was foretold that while his achievements would be great, he would live a short life. I can identify somewhat with that, as at the age of 22 with an injury that may/may not be permanent, I feel as if I've done a lot, but the rest of my life may well be mundane.

Now you know!

Well, the first site I ever joined was FuckYou.com

Fuckyou was already taken. I didn't want to make a name that was so close to that that it could be mistaken for another person.

Fornicate was close enough to fuck to suit me but seemed pretty plain.
I went with the phonetic spelling instead.

Now you know!

I knew about the first part (durr) but I never knew you had Irish heritage. How is your sn pronounced phonetically? I know it sounds a bit of a sad question, but the old Irish stuff is rarely as it looks... like my daughters name (Niamh - "Neev") it can be tricky.

Simple story: Was working on installing Vector Linux on an old box a good while back. After installing I visited a forum on the site and had to choose a name. By trade I am an electronics tech. Put the two together for a quick sn on that site, but pretty much use it everywhere because I can remember it.

***BTW is it possible to change one's screen name on this site without re-registering?

The answer is yes.
It's one of the reasons I'm so fond of this site!
Not only is the admin hella sexy, he's also really accommodating.

I don't think you can change your screen name a billion times though, so try to pick a guddun before you talk to Cranium about it. =)

For a whole minute, I worked for Vector Marketing (CutCo). Wow. Nightmare. The knives are pretty spiffy though.

My Sister-in-Law and I were hired together and during training, this guy that she developed a crush on kept hitting on me. lawl.

Since my hands were severely injured from being nailed to a cross. Still in agonising pain, I couldn't be fucked to type out my whole name.
Serially. I wore a Gsus t-shirt when I registered on Fuckyou.com, and couldnt be asked to come up with a SN.
I looked down in admiration of my beautiful penis, and saw Gsus on my shirt. So i used it as my SN.

All right...to clear up why I switched from Vectortech to Topgrey:


VT was an off the wall as explained a bit earlier in this thread. So, our generous, glorious, and magnificent leader allowed me a one time change. TopGrey has to do with a mix of happenings in my life.

I've an eleven y.o. named Emma. She was the absolute pinnacle of perfection IMHO (being her dad she has to be). Not long after my brother died leaving only myself and a sister to "carry on" our last name. Well, sis couldn't do to our patriarchal society and between the both of us we had only daughters. My wife and I decided our 1 child rule could be changed to 2 children with the hopes of possibly having a son. Well, as luck would have it, plus lots of voodoo and mojo, we did have a boy. We named him Greyson, Grey for short. Damn fine young man, you can see him in my album. Anyway, one of my friends said in an email once that "you can't top Grey" and I liked it. In one respect, no, we couldn't "top" grey as he's about as perfect a kid could be. On the other hand my wife had recently been pointing out that I was starting to show signs of gray hair...As such, I thought TopGrey was good enough and have used it in most places.

07-17-2009, 03:48 PM
Well... back in can't remember the year .. but (the good old days) people used to say that I looked like Uma Thurman. In Kill Bill she was referred to as Blackmamba.

However, at that stage of my life, I changed my hair colour from blonde to black to red ad nauseam so I just decided to stick with Mamba.
