What's In A Name?

[RVR II]

Never looked into it (no pun intended) :-",

There used to be an ice cream shoppe/candy store in the town where I grew up, and one of the items available for purchase on their menu board was "Hand-packed fudge."  I went there damned near every day, just to admire it.

Ha. That's almost as hilarious as the tanning place in Buffalo called "Sunbaked Goods"

[Sideswipe]

Hand Packed Fudge is the greatest name ever

[Junkyard]

Just as a side not, Dim of the Yard- I have to say it was a good idea to choose Dim of the Yard over what was my original choice:
Johann Gambolputty-de-von-Ausfern-schplenden-schlitter-crass- cren-bon-fried-digger-dingle-dangle-dongle-dungle-burstein-von- knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz-ticolensic-grander-knotty- spelltinkle-grandlich-grumblemeyer-spelter-wasser-kurstlich-himble- eisenbahnwagen-guten-abend-bitte-ein-nürnburger-bratwürstel- gespurten-mitz-weimache-luber-hundsfut-gumeraber-schönendanker- kalbsfleisch-mittleraucher-von-Hautkopft of Ulm.

Mine is from the MST3K episode Space Travelers....

Crow says : "Here at Philips Petroleum, we've found ways to replace the environment. Take for example these plastic, self-cleaning ducks... "

I've just always liked the sound of it.

Oh I thought you were into.. Ducks..

Ok, my name is based on a drunken joke my friend made in college.  We were listening to Korn, and that song "Falling Away From Me" was playing.  When it got to the part where the singer says "It's gonna be better tommorrow", my friend added Amy because this girl who was drinking with us was either depressed or really drunk.  She was sitting on the couch complaining about something very uninteresting at the very least, so when he added Amy it became symbolic of pulling yourself out of your funk simply because your boring everybody.  Plus now everytime I hear that song and that line comes up I always say "Amy".

Mystery.... revealed.

[Minnesota]

yup 

[Bairman]

First name Barry, and... (checking)... yep, still male.

'Tis a nickname given to me by my shipmates while I was a squid stationed in Italy.  Any time I'd enter a space, someone would yell "Bair-Man!" (think "Norm!" on Cheers) and it stuck.

As for the choice of spelling...

"Bearman" implies a large, gruff, grizzly character... not accurate in this case.
"Bareman" implies... well, you know what it implies.  Not necessarily a bad thing, but...
"Bairman" sounds light and breezy... yeah, that'll have to do.

So there you have it.  More info than you ever wanted to know.

[Tank]

I got my nickname "Tank" because I am short and fairly muscular built.  2134 because I tried making an account on some site, and Tank was taken but 2134 was one of the numbers it gave me to use after Tank, and it stuck.

[bettertomorrowamy]

and coincidentally that's how many muscles there are in the human body.*








*Not really.

[Cibernético II]

my orignal name was Zap Rowsdower Jr.
Just becuse. Who doesn't love Rowdower? I always kinda looked at him as a father figure.


I changed my name to Cibernético II because I wanted to consolidate all my internet screen names. I'm a pro wrestling fan and its the name I use on wrestling forums. I chose it for 2 reasons. 1, as a continuation of the gimmick of Mexican lucha libre star Cibernético

It's a common practise in wrestling to become the 2nd version of a popular character.

and 2 is because in 2004 I broke alot of bones in my body in a fall and was put back together by doctors with titanium pins, rods, plates, and screws. Like the Bionic Man but without all the cool super hearing and jumping and stuff. Cybernetic stuff is my gimmick now. Hopefully, as medical science progesses I'll add more upgrades.

Youch! That sounds painfull.
