My username is a combination of a funny situation between my friends which wouldn't make much sense to anyone else AND the name of a song my group of friends liked. It actually started out as a small joke with an AIM name, but then I just used it everywhere. It's kinda stuck ever since.

Edge Damage
Physical damage on one or both edges of videotape. Usually affects audio tracks, but severe damage will also cause picture breakup.

I used to live in Jackson NJ. It was considered Rural NJ, if there was such a thing.

One day, someone said there are so many rednecks in Jackson, they should call it Jacktucky.

Since I didn't see that many rednecks, or I was one, I took it as a compliment.

Now since I live in Southern Indiana, I see LOTS of rednecks

, and I'm in kentucky all the time.

My favorite movie is Hackers, I'm sure you've all seen it... When I tried to make my very first email address crashoveride @ hotmail . com it gave me a bunch of suggestions and I picked this one. It was then my second email address when hotmail was so full of junk that I couldn't stand it anymore then my AIM etc... Now it's the username I use everywhere I go as long as it's got enough letters and doesn't require numbers.

Stingrays are flat fish. They're also fiberglass cars. At one time there was a childeren's television show that used that name. I hope you find some of this information to be helpful.

PetitMorte

Petite : Small

Morte : Death

PetitMorte = The little death. This is also slang for an incredible orgasm.

I've been using this for YEARS online... in IRC, Half-Life Team Fortress, Quake 2 and 3, Unreal Tournament, HL Natural Selection, and on countless forums, and have never encountered anyone else using this nick.

nostrebor · « **Reply #52 on:** January 09, 2006, 02:37:42 pm »

It's my last name spelled backwards. I always thought it sounded like the name for some weird mythical arcade game creature... maybe from a SEGA game?

This and the other EE are the only two forums that I use this handle. It's dave4026 or 40261 everywhere else.

ChadTower · « **Reply #53 on:** January 09, 2006, 02:39:25 pm »

It's almost like 24601 but not quite.

Yes. It seems quite different.

Luxury · « **Reply #55 on:** January 09, 2006, 03:21:02 pm »

My nickname. My full name is Raymond "Luxury" Yacht. This is only how it's spelled though. It is actually pronounced "Throatwobbler Mangrove."

I was given this nickname by Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson - who in fact, only has one shed.

....I wonder if anybody will the the hints.

Mine is basically my initials as a close acronym for my name. There is a "nine" in my last name.

It sounds somewhat Doug Adams'ish, but I cannot place it.

this thread has probably been done before?

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

Acctually i don't think it has.

Some guys like DK and others i won't name like to come off as witty without really giving too much info as far as a username, as for me, my name is tommy, nice to meet you and good topic.

Don't get me wrong, DK is a fantabulous guy in my book.

Arthur "two sheds" Jackson is Monty Python.

I wish you would stop asking about the sheds.

When I went to the University of Wisconsin (UW), I often was drunk, hence DrunkatUW.

Congrats on the new title Zakk.

Now if only I could come up with something clever for mine and be recognized for it. Better get started on the former I guess. Cause lord knows the latter won't happen since it comes in the after-wardy part of the former.

Franco · « **Reply #68 on:** January 10, 2006, 06:17:56 pm »

Mines yet another boring one im afraid. Im generaly called Franco Baresi tho by my friends and when DJ'n. My friend is into his footie (soccer

) and he just started calling me Franco Baresi and it seemed to stick. Aparently Franco Baresi is a Itallian Football Leg-end.

no, being incognito on the net is extremely important, dont want anyone to steal your identity.

Your last name is Stewart?

My username is basically my name as they would use it in the news if I was a criminal. Or at least dutch news. Actually I was just in court, but not for something that would mark me as a criminal I guess, but at least my name is "hidden"
