What's In A Name?

[Junkyard]

Just out of curiosity with new and old posters, what does your name on the boards mean?

Junkyard: I'm a packrat by nature, and I've always liked being in junkyards more than pretty much anywhere else.

[RVR II]

RVR II: The Initials of my real name (minus my middle initial).. I am the 2nd (hence the Roman numeral 2)
I've been called by my initials for Ages!

[Junkyard]

That's funny, your name is what inspired me to open this thread. But what does the V stand for if you left out the middle initial?

[RVR II]

My last name is 2 words: Richard T. Van Remmen II to be exact.
RTVR II just never clicked.

[Junkyard]

Ah!


Did I just use a whole post to say "ah?"

[RVR II]

AHH! YOU DID!!

PSLOwner = Own a PSL (personal seat liscence) for the St. Louis Rams season tickets.

Not much of an exciting story there I am afraid.

COOL!
Wish I could afford a PSL for the Carolina Panthers here (We talked about this in my early days..)!

[MrTorso]

I was in a band called the Human Oddities and when we put out our first 7 inch we all took stage names.

We used to watch Freaks a lot and could never remember Prince Randian's name:



We used to call him that "Torso guy" or "Mr. Torso"  Since we were the "Human Odditites" (renamed from Puta Scooter) I took the Torso moniker.

[RobtheBarbarian]

My barbaric title is really just a way of making my three-letter name seem more interesting. I also like to think that it gives people an idea what to expect from me. After all, is it really that much of an exaggeration?

[Rude]

...

Get this... at some point between middle-school and high-school i was way into ska. I got sucked into the 3rd Wave "explosion" i guess. Anyway, i was so into the scene that i posted online quite a bit in ska newsgroups and traded tapes with other online types. I might have gone as TwoTone for quite awhile, but i stopped short of calling myself a rude boy. But basically Rude is a take on rude boy, rudy, "A Message To You Rudy," "Rudie Can't Fail," etc. etc.

Of course, here i am years and years later... and the name Rude has lost all of it's original context.
Go figure~

-Rude

Ska...... man, a friend of mine in college played this one Specials album over and over and over and......

[J-Proof]

If I were to have a hip rapper alias that walks about with a video crew and embarasses politicians (and Catholic Saints), the name would be J-Proof (a slight variation of my real nickname JP - which stands for my real name, Justin Panlasigui).

[mrbasehart]

Easy.  I was on the Satellite News boards trying to think up a username that was tangentially linked to MST3k and came up with Richard Basehart, the love of Gypsy's life.  Not wanting to be called "Dick", I changed it to mrbasehart.   

[Sideswipe]

Sideswipe happened to be my callsign while I was in Iraq.  I drove armored Hummvees in convoy security and MSR(main supply route) patrol missions and had a reputation for side swiping Iraqi drivers who were stupid enough to try to break into our convoys.  Also is the name of a favorite Autobot from a favorite cartoon show so I encouraged the use of it.
