My favorite comic book character when I was little was Deadpool. I just changed the spelling because I didn't want numbers in my nick...
 
I tried to use Muffdivr which is what I use at gotapex and most other forums. It was not allowed here so that is why i chose this. Like, Muffster🙂

I got the Muffdivr name from a Cheech and Chong movie "Up in Smoke"
 
My bestfriend in Middle school real name is Starlitt, I've been looking for her everywhere!!!! Her dad was in the Navy I think and she had to move to another state. Starlitt if you're out there, contact me girl ...🙁
 
When I first got here, I tried to pick the name "Russ". That didn't work out.

I picked RedFox, because Russell is an old word for a "Red Fox"

The "1" I just added for ha-ha's.

-RedFox1
 
Praetor - An annually elected magistrate of the ancient Roman Republic, ranking below but having approximately the same functions as a consul.

Praetorite Guard - The elite bodyguard of a Roman emperor, approximately the size of a legion.

I remember watching reruns of the original Star Trek episodes and seeing/hearing that the head of the Romulan empire was called the Praetor. Or emperor. And so, for years, I thought that's what it was. It wasn't until I actually chose this as my name here that I looked it up. I still like it though. 🙂

Cuz my name is Jing, and I wanted something that rhymes with my name. The xl is from a game that I like very much - WipeoutXL for the psx.
 
jhu: you from Johns Hopkins University ? 😛


My answer:
While on IRC, some girl called me by the name of Kuk ... which is a small variation of my last name. The nick catched, and I've hold up to it since then.

Ohh, and some months later I discovered that my new nick was a "bad word" in Swedish. Since then, I've discovered that it is also a bad word in two other languages. See signature ... 😀 😀 😀
 
Bigdady=Was spelled with 2 "D"'s but everyone was using it so i simplified it. Anyway, me and a buddy were bored one nite long ago while working at Wal-mart. He asked me if I had a nickname and I said no. He rattled some off and they were all silly or totally unfitting. He came up with "BigDaddy" and it stuck..course now that what the ladies call me but that's another post for another time 😉

92=Reggie White. Greatest Sacker for the Green Bay Packers and the NFL. Still leads the sack count. Pro bowler for 13 years strait. His number was 92 when he retired from the Packers. Now he plays for the Panthers because "God told me it wasn't time for me to quit football"..again. I respect his football skills but he should have his head examined.

My Last name is Van Dusen and i wanted something that I wasn't likely to have to add numbers to in other boards so I reversed the last part of my last Name and came up with NesuD. It's worked out great for about 4 years now.
 
Mine is from the credits of one of the greatest movies of all time:"monty python's the search for the holy grail." it's funny, watch it. I got it from my friends when we started a team fotress clan (formerly kwsn, now FMJ)

I also go by FMJPrivateJoker (from full metal jacket, another 4 star film) on AIM and TFC.

kuk: what does it mean???
 

What can be more inoffensive, more harmless, than a soapdish.



After "lurking" for a long time, reading one political/religious group flame the other, I just figured I'd choose a name that didn't insult anyone, in an effort to avoid the "you suck/no you suck/no he sucks/no she sucks/no we all suck" flaming that goes on around here. :|


So, I'm working on a little poem...


"an ode to the sublime soapdish..."

I'll post when through. 😀
 
Well when I got into the "Scene" of buying and trading I loved my Alabama Crimson Tide..Since 1979 even have unopened photos of the Championship Team 😀 Also at that time the Voodoo1 Ruled the roost..

So BAMA from Alabama and Voo from VOODOO..

Of course I need to change my name to BamaNvid or something.. 🙂

 
My nickname is Deeko. It has no real meaning....in elementary school my nickname was Dinky cause I was about a foot shorter than everyone else, then in jr. high I grew so Dinky didn't make sense anymore...so a few people somehow changed it to Deeko and no one(not even them) knows how 🙂
 
Becase I am too damn sexy 🙂

2- I use Sexy Pid, Mr. Cold Gin, and Pid

Thank You.

Pid, TYRP
