Where Did Your Forum User Name Come From?

[Amak.2DK]

Awesome thread, to be specific with how my User name came along. Well during my childhood years in 2005 I was involved with the Art scene, aerosol art or graffiti in Washington D.C. and majority people were either assign by a name or created their own. For myself, I was given the name Amak from a member of the Double Down Kings.

I generally don't like to go off topic (even in the OFF TOPIC section of the forum), but I will today. I remember this like it was yesterday.

The guy who setup the server, put in a "grappling hook" mod in the game and didn't tell anyone (at least me). I kept getting owned from behind and couldn't figure out why.

That SOB had spots he'd grapple up to out of sight then drop down after someone went by and.....rocket up the @r$e!

I remember running toward a doorway into a room and saw feet dangling in the doorway and thought it was some kind of bug. I peeked into the room to see this guy hanging from a grappling hook. Needless to say I rocketed his @r$e. From that point onward his advantage was lost.

You could grapple hook the sky. And with a rocket launcher you could rain down fire on everyone. It was the ultimate sniper hide.

 

["TRUMP"]

@Wesleypipesyo gets his name from his favorite porn actor...

 

[Chris515000]

Chris cause my name is Chris and 5150 is a van Halen album and just a couple more 00 at the end!

 

[htrap2294]

My name comes from my name.

 

[Wesleypipesyo]

I was torn between Wesley Pipes and Billy Bong Thornton. I went with the less obvious reference.

 

[Batman_1939]

I think I remember seeing a thread similar to this in the past but there are lots of new members and I'd like to hear the stories....

Here is the other thread just in case others want to read it too.

[Slojack]

When the girls at Winghouse would ask what I wanted, tell them a Slow Jack. Most giggled, some looked confused. I'd tell those to go ask around what it is. I was so mature when I played tourney softball.

 

[cacatman]

My parents originally came from Malaysia.

"Cacat" comes from a derogatory term my sister-in-law gave me when I made her cry.

She had come to visit her sister (my wife) and I, in Australia and while I was in the lounge, I thought it would be quite funny to chuck a pair of boxer shorts at her head.

I executed a frisbee motion, and to her (and my) great surprise, it crossed my lounge room and landed perfectly on top of her head like a hat and covered her eyes. In fact she did not even move her head to get out the way for some unbeknown reason.

I wish I had filmed it. It was quite amazing.

She promptly burst into tears and screamed at the top of her voice, "You're so 'cacat'!!!"

In Malay, it means "handicapped" or "spastic".

I wish that was the worst thing I ever did to a relative....

Needless to say, the name stuck.

My name is Jim, and it fits into Zimbabwe very well. To make jimbabwe
