First name is Mark. XIX is the number nineteen in Roman numerals. Mk19 is the nomenclature for a machine gun that shoots 40mm grenades at 325-375 rounds per minute. It is referred to as the "Mark nineteen" machine gun.

My picture is a non-lethal, 40mm sponge grenade used for riot control purposes.

It actually has a cyclic rate of 325 to 375 rounds per minute, giving a practical rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute (rapid) and 40 rounds per minute (sustained).
 
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.

dude, I changed my username and someone sniped my 100% original ex-username

I messaged him like WTF and he replied "I was searching the archives and the name sounded cool"

Born in Iowa, favorite vegetable, sense of humor......pretty much covers all the bases with me.
 
Lotheron comes from me trying to think of something that wasn't as childish as Slashur. It's not a medieval sound to it that I like.
 
the username i originally wanted to have was "-mogwai"

the hyphen wasn't allowed, so i tried "mogwai"... someone else had it, so i couldn't get it.

so, i thought of my favorite band (explosions in the sky) and used the initials to come up with my name. i don't like ever using capital letters unless i'm referencing God, so instead of EITS, it's eits.

cool story, i know.
 
I really liked the game Battletech, but Daishi was already taken. I grew tired of my old username (see sig), so I changed it to something someone called me on Ventrilo one day.
