dud = dad

It was a nick my sons gave me many years ago. They promised me it had nothing to do with my parenting skills.
 
I took Squisher as a player name playing Quake online. I worked for 18 years making forging dies do what they were supposed to do where we heated steel until it glowed and squished it into shapes. (like connecting rods, axles, etc.)
 
I used to play Starsiege Tribes. In the game, you could make a male or female character, and you could assign a voice to him/her. Back then, you could use either voice pack with either sex, so I thought it would be hilarious if I made a petite woman with a deep "pro-wrestler" style guy's voice, and name her Fritz. Fritz was already taken, so I used Fritzo.

I got to be in the top 50 in the country in Tribes during a national championship, and the name just stuck.

Man Tribes was awesome. I used to play that game for hours and hours.

About 10 years ago I liked this band called Mest and they had a winking head as the symbol. I saw them on the 21st in 01 i think soo mest + head + 21

Pretty lame
 
Sunny Disposition, which is irony, because I generally DON'T have a sunny disposition. The D also could be the first initial of my name.

And you all thought it had something to do with the drank.
 
I thought I invented it, but apparently it means people from Liverpool, UK. It's spelled Scouser for those people though..
 
I was playing some game and my usual username was taken. I hit "randomly generate username" several times and Leros <something> came up.

I didn't like my username here, so I changed it to Leros.
 
Cox is my last name..

Not sure where master came from. Pretty sure the entire name came about when some douchebags thought it would be funny to call me cockmaster (South Park...) Name sorta stuck i gues

lol, not for nothing, but I always think cockmaster when I see your username...lol
 
Terzo is italian for third. The name developed from "third rail".
Back when I started Daoc I wanted to be Third Rail, but of course third was taken. I went with Terzo and decided I could deal with the rail bit when i got access to a last name. That became a moot point since only your first name appears, so I was (am) Terzo.
