lol, not for nothing, but I always think cockmaster when I see your username...lol

Yeah, a lot of people probably do 😛

Its entertaining to see what kind of other names people use to try to make fun of my name.. Very few people are able to come up with anything i havent already heard..

After a while it stopped bothering me too :awe:
 
I started going to youth group around the time 300 came out I guess...and a friend called me Tristicus (part of my name + icus). So it stuck I guess.
 
A phrase a girl said used to explain why she couldn't figure out why my college buds and I were making snowmen in boxer shorts.
 
This one is easy for military people.

Battery B 529th Field Artillery Battalion

It was my grandfathers battalion during WWII, ETO Central Europe.

I adopted it when I started playing Day of Defeat 2.0beta and stuck with it.
 
You really aren't that rude you know. Compared to some on here you are down right nice 😛

Explain your own name, kthx.

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to Star Trek TNG: Locutus of Borg.

I actually used the name "Locutus" briefly when I first started playing online FPS games like Quake. It didn't stick because I decided I can't stand people who think: "I'll take the name of something I like and maybe people will like me because they like the same thing I like." 😉

It's a pet peeve now. People with DragonBall and Final Fantasy names *REALLY* piss me off.
 
I wanted PhoKing, but some asshole who never posts took it, so I added the guy on the end because I couldn't think of anything else.

another forum i visit... i was the first person to register KAKAROT.. it pisses someone else off because i'm squatting it... i've made maybe 3 or 4 posts in 4 years lol.
 
ST TNG character (Picard assimilated by the Borg). Locutus was taken when I wanted it on some board long ago so I just substituted a 0 and it's stuck as my online alias ever since.
