whats the meaning of your "username" ???
« on: January 06, 2006, 07:00:20 pm »
this thread has probably been done before?

I see alot of ppls usernames, and im wondering wtf does that mean?

mine "gavkiwi"

Gav = short for Gavin / my first name
kiwi = New Zealander, as in most country's New Zealanders are referred to as "kiwi's", just like English ppl in Australia, N.Z are referred to as 'poms'
Australians = aussies, etc, etc....

I just wanted to clarify that I dont have a 'thing' for kiwi, as in the fruit lol.

otherwise known as a "chinese gooseberry"

Broken
   1. To fracture a bone of: I broke my leg.
   2. To fracture (a bone): I broke my femur.

Bones
   1. The dense, semirigid, porous, calcified connective tissue forming the major portion of the skeleton of most vertebrates. It consists of a dense organic matrix and an inorganic, mineral component.
   2. Any of numerous anatomically distinct structures making up the skeleton of a vertebrate animal. There are more than 200 different bones in the human body.
   3. A piece of bone.

In 1997 I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail (AT) from Gerogia to Maine.  It took six months and was 2,165 miles in length that year.  For those of you who do not know what the AT here is a link to a site that has alot of information: http://www.fred.net/kathy/at.html

I used to have the nick badmonkey (I used to call my daughter a bad little monkey, and she became lil' monkey when I referred to her online, while I was badmonkey) everywhere I went, but it became more increasingly unavailable as the net became more increasingly populated.

When I registered at IGN it was taken, so I just looked around on my desk for something to enter in real quick, as it was just a tosser that I didn't really need to associate with anyway, since I was only registering to do a couple things then leave.

Well...

I never left, and it became one of my first stops any time I went to my computer, so it became my permanent handle just about everywhere, and I have only found it taken once (and I'm not really sure it was taken by someone else, as I probably registered it myself with old information and forgot the details :) ).


Anyway...

I guess not too many other people out there choose to go around the net named after a battery from a flashlight. :)

I got mine when I used to play Frontier on the amiga.

Started off saving games using boss, then bosss, bosss1 etc.

For some reason I stopped on bosss7.

It means nothing in the scheme of things.

I've been called Zakk since my cover-band-days.  I was a long haired shredder who covered a lot of Ozzy you see.  Now my youngest is named that, so I have to call him 'Junior'.

I came up with my name because in college I had a couple really geeky friends who liked to call each other by the name they used online.  I always found this to be incredibly stupid so I came up with a name that has my real name in it.  My real name is Adam, pronounced similar enough to Atom, unfortunately they started calling me smasher ....

That's just for appearances.  We get together for a few Buzz Beer's and laugh and laugh about that.  Good to know the rumor is believable though.  I'll pass that along next time I see him.  Oswald is gonna want to kick yer ass, but I'll do what I can.

When you were trying to get in my pants, you said I was a sweet wholesome girl, but the minute any woman with an ounce of sense tells you no you label them a ---stingray---!

Mrs Bones was right about your small package, and I'm glad I introduced her to Drew so we can get the proper training a real man can give

Bones, don't blame Mrs Bones - she could only hold out so long.  I mean, look at me!  You've tried to put the moves on me yourself, so you can imagine how hard it was for her to resist my dead sexy charm and ruggedly handsome face.  Once she got a look at "the goods", it was all over!

Well, mine comes from the band Motley Crue, back when they had just released "Shout At The Devil", I thought that was the coolest back then, their mascot that they used to put everywhere was named Allister Fiend so I started using it back in my Commodore 64 days when I got my first blazingly fast 300 baud modem, I've been using it ever since because it was always available whenever I signed up for access.  Of course I have never really liked a Motley Crue album since "Shout At The Devil" but I've stuck with the name.


Man, it's good to see some fellow Commodore users on here, the C64 and the Commodore AMIGA were awsome for their time.
