I registered in a bit of a rush at work one day. I should have used "yllus". :(

djheater is my initials and last name... My older brother is D.J.Heater too, so it pisses him off that I've registered it in almost every conceivable place on the internet :):D... it's a small victory but I cherish it.

Jzero has always been my "nick" since about 1992. Wow...I can't believe I've been using it for 10 years!

My gaming nickname came under more dubious terms. It's SlapMaFroBeeatch. Basically when I first was introduced to network gaming 5 years ago, that night I was showing people a "Jive" web translator that made my website say "Slap Ma Fro!" I was joking about it so I took that nickname for the night.
At the time it was my coworkers and I and no one else because we moved back to school early.
But the following week people started joining our Quake 2 servers and my name started to become known...I couldn't change it then!

I wanted Supermercado, after one of the 2 Skinnee J's albums and also the inspiration for my online nickname, but it was taken. So I went with the next best thing, the name I was accidentally called once by a new clanmate when he first joined my CS clan.

I would have started with dragonball z if I had known you could use spaces. As it was, I thought dragonballz might confuse some folks.

It does require a double take. ;)

Since "shuxclams" is the coolest name ever I would have chosen that....... But somebody already has that name.

I am happy with mine (it is the same name I have used for online gaming for several years - the Godfather is my favorite movie!). I actually started with a different username and the mods were helpful enough to allow me to change it.

If only I had a brain... I would've chosen a better nick. Had no intention of actually posting here more than just to ask one question but whoa is me, I'm stuck forever now. I probably would have gone with Cygni or hatari, both names I use frequently. I chose this name to make fun of all you guys and now I sincerely regret it, since it doesn't actually relate to either my looks or my attitude at all and it makes the wrong impression.

You could always ask the mods to change it. :)

Speaking of names you wanted and didn't want, there was this guy who filled out the DMV form for vanity plates for his car. You can list 5 names on the form, but he could only think of four. He thought that one of his first four choices would still be available and on a whim wrote a name on the blank 5th line. Of course he was wrong and he ended up with number 5. After a week or so of other drivers honking or yelling, spitting at him and the like he gave up his "Hitler" plates back to the DMV.
