[Closed] Where does your username come from?

From a shared house at Uni, neighbours owned a deviant and very sneaky Tomcat with huge and overactive testicles and spray glands. It sprayed most of our house - bikes, motorbikes, crapped in the garden - sprayed that too.

It was named Roger one drunken evening after the collective punishment we decided it needed if we ever caught it.

We found it doing a manhole impression on Bromyard Rd,but decided feline necrophilia was taking things a bit far so threw it over the neighbours fence.

In tribute to him I adopted the name on the first forum I used and it's stuck!

because my surnames darcy and i was known at uni for being quite deadly with the ladies 8)

Colon Waxel

I might change my name.

So how did you get to Phil Consequence 😕

If those two are really the same person then, well, I'm Edukator and Solo too.

I usually go by another "handle" on forums etc, but thought something punning on the world of MTB would be a rite larf.

It only makes sense if you aren't Welsh.

Unfortunate accident with the lab mascot and a protein crosslinker, hence Beagleboy. You should see me go after rabbits though. 😉

Because my 1st log in is already in use.

I used to be Big Bike Bash but was asked to relinquish the name. Apparently there is an amazing festival in August of the same name and they didn't want any confusion.

So if you want to go to the New Forest for a whle weekend of Beer, Bikes and Bands you should go the www.BigBikeBash.co.uk and not WorldClassAccident.

[url= http://www.BigBikeBash.co.uk ]I hope that is clear and that no-one feels I am in any way promoting the best bike fest in the UK with the only lake jump and malt loaf eating competition available.

My initials are 'JAB' but this is either normally taken or too short for most forums. Instead of competing with all the 'I want to be alphabetically first' types, I just settle for being alphabetically last on user-lists.

It's an anagram of my name.

I lost my log in details and was C40 after my Colnago, but got P20 back when the forum was reset

You got the first 2 letters wwaswas 🙂

Its a crap reference to my old bike.(green-ish Giant XTC)

She-He 'n' Karma?

(Good band name)

I could explain........

I use it on every forum pretty much. In the social scene centered around a few music and band forums, it was shortened to BBS or more recently, Shed.

I like The Smiths.
I'm also a terrible, lazy mechanic.

I like it GS, you also got a letter. Here's a clue for the Herman hangmanagram:

Sh----- K---

I imagine only those I've bought from/sold to would get it. It's not the most common of names!

Because Im a lazy sod

I came from a windsurfing forum where I used (fin)bouy which fitted well as I use fins on my board and bob around in the sea a lot (like a bouy)

So here I simply replaced (fin) with bike and kept the bouy so I can still link myself to the sea..

New York, New York!

I've always been bakes, which is what people call me, but after the Great Hacking Debacle of Christmas 2008 I thought I'd change it in case it wouldn't let me have bakes again. I then changed it back to bakes when you could change your username, but then it changed to brakes.
this is not an interesting story, but I guess you've realised that.

because I'd lost the calling and I'd been faking...

Mines a song title by us hardcore band, The Misfits.

My initials - NJEE, not en-jee, although I tend to introduce myself as en-jee as everyone thinks it's that, and it's quicker to say!

The 20 came from when I signed up for Hotmail:

"njee is taken, would you like njee20?"

The film.

I used to have 5 Spot (see what I did?)

We are 138 is my favourite Misfit's song. Probably the version off Evilive with Rollins on it.

Although the first time I heard it was on tape and so distorted it sounded like someone was playing a trumpet in the background.

It's a Greek holiday thing from about 1993.

Its what I was riding at the time. Could have been Giant, On One or Claude but twas a quirk of fate how they were all stacked up in the kitchen.

TSY, you win the Hermanagram trophy:

Pretty boring really, my name is Andy w, and my other sport is this:

Was my online gaming tag from the days of dial-up.... sheeesh that was a while ago!

Signing up for STW forum back in the day and needed a username. Looked up at the CD shelf above the PC and the first album I saw was 'Nixon' by Lambchop. That'll do I thought.

Ex-brickie, bike injuries put an end to that.

Ready when you are bjj.andy.w

White men can't jump

I'm a tool.

My ability to break many many bike parts, most impressive when I got confused about how to install my brand spanking new raceface x-type cranks resulting in some VERY careful removal with an angle grinder.

Ecky-thump - you aint shoving one of those things anywhere near one of my orifices 😯

And you thought you were the tool.

It's my name

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=crotchrocket

picked after I used one of these hugely entertaining, legal missiles to near end my existence on this planet.

back in the day, I did something spectacually stupid which became known as doing a captain bastard - the name stuck

I Used to be a bit of a miserable sod, and one of my mates had an equally miserable uncle named fred, hence unclefred.

I'm a CG VFX artist and love Starwars

duvet[/url]

Song by Saint Etienne, like the acoustic guitars on it. At the time I liked Sarah Cracknell the singer even more.

I quite like my bed too, although my wife takes the duvet most of the time...

Some people think i'm a cop with my username but i used to work offshore on the oilrigs as an NDT Inspector. Due to me being very good at that job i added Chief into the name and it has kind of stuck. Some funny buggers on the rigs used to call me Inspector Gadget (remember the 80's cartoon)but thankfully that didn't stick.

The username I wanted was taken so I looked across the table and seen a bottle of ketchup and thought that will do. I think the original name I wanted was Frosty the Snowman or something along those lines.

I have absolutely no idea whatsoever

after the famous cyclist in the public information film, 'that must be why he stayed alive so long!' hope I'm not tempting fate there now I think about it!!!

My best friend's uncle used to tell the same joke whenever he saw me (which was quite often):

'Hey, do you know the lake at [i]*insert local park here*[/i]? They found a torso floating in it last week. They're struggling to identify the body, but they've figured out his name is Scott.

Scott no arms, Scott no legs, Scott no head....'

How we laughed.

when i first set up an ebay account i needed a name, and i was then still skating and older than pretty much all the other people (the whole longboard retro skate thing had'nt kicked off the the late 90s) it seemed like a good idea.

now i'm even older, only ever skate when i take my kid to the park and even then its just a gentle roll around for me, it nails my back and fear of injury that'll stop me surfing is too much, so i may well change it to...

In honour of kaesae, I'm considering changing my name to AlmightyPumpkinHeadedLaserDudeWithFirstClassStampAndSecondClassAttitude

Liz (my name... obviously) is just a little bit boring, so I went with a few extra z's to make me so much more interesting.

my name is simon and iam a bit portly(although less so now a days) and the mk2 came about after the great hack

One of the two usernames I always use depending on what the forum etc. relates to.

On music related forums (forii?) and one or two others I tend to be pHz, which has a long and not very interesting origin and evolution.

On most other sites I use colournoise just because it kind if abstractly describes two of my other interests/hobbies/obsessions and because colournoisewheelspointytwangystuff is a bit unwieldy.

Im where you all want to be..

Comes from an episode of People Like Us from a few years ago, the Teachers episode.

Sketch goes like this:

two men walk into a room where there is a third man

1st guy : " Do you know Bob Stanners?"
2nd guy : "No, but my wifes brother had a hair lip"

Check out both series out if you haven't although series two was never released on dvd as Chris Langham fell out of favour after the child allegation. Comedy gold for me. Also gave me a second alias of Greg Nissan (the main guy drove a G reg Nissan)

Because i like boiled eggs and seabrook crisps.

Ernie was the fastest milkman in the West.

And the lynchpin of Western Express Dairies.

It's a homage to that.

It all used to get a bit competitive on the local club run.

Sprinting for the cafe is one thing but once we started to launch solo attacks with 10-15 miles still to go we knew we had a problem!

Parents gave me it 49 years ago,seems to have stuck.

My fav comic and film

Rorschach test is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed.Psychologists use this test to examine a person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning. It is employed to detect underlying thought disorder, especially in cases where patients are reluctant to describe their thinking processes openly

Found it down the back of the sofa.
