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. :)

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.

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.

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  ;D, and I'm in kentucky all the time.

Clanggedin is short for "Clanggedin Silverbeard".

Clanggedin is the dwarven god of battle, it is he who taught the Dwarves how to fight and taught them the techniques to combat Giants.

I was a big AD&D fan back in the good ol' days when Rogue was the best computer game available on DOS. I only started using it a few years ago as a forum name. I used to go by the name"Drax the Dextroyer" when I only frequented the submission fighting boards. I still go by that on MMA.tv today.

What's funny is that if you do a search for "Clanggedin" in Google my profile here is the first link.  ;D

While in college a group of friends were heading out to go shooting,
(redneck pastime) and I could not go due to other obligations.  Well they
decided that I wuss-ed out and was scared to go shoot the 44mag.
Unfortunately for me the cartoon Garfield and friends was on and the
duck on US Acres segment on.  If any of you have watched the cartoon
Wade duck is afraid of his own shadow.  Well I have since been called Wade
by that group of college friends.  Scary part is that on the next trip I was one
of the only ones to shoot the 44Mag with the +P+ loads in it.

I know it is not as good as some stories but ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- happens.

I used to use Vigo when I belonged to other forums, but now that I recently found an online home here at BYOAC as my source for the answers to life, the universe, and everything...I can't help but plug out a few hints of my little arcade project which will be unveiled soon.

Maybe when my project winds down to a finish, I will switch back to a Vigo Avatar, but if I take as long as some of the people here at BYOAC on finishing projects, It might be a while before I can make the Avatar switch.
