I went to a dance with a girl and her parents were like, "oh, your going with that tall bill fellow?"

Even though my name is bob. Although I am tall (6'8"). I'm sure that'll be another thread in a few minutes.

6'8? woah

There's something really aesthetically pleasing with how your avatar, TallBill, and Lifer fall into place.

Or is it just me. :eek:

Its ok, you can admit it, I'm Hawt!

You'll just make a better bullseye! :p

j/k be careful out there!

my real name is lobadobadingdonglamaramashimshambingbangmadmanramajam, the mods wouldn't let me use that many characters so I shortened it.

The STORY OF SCOOBMASTER
<-------------------------I

When I was in my last year of high school, some friends and I started working as co-ops in a local manufacturing plant. After a few weeks of getting acclimated, we were given some minute leadership roles over some smaller projects. This somtimes required us to lead a small group of temporary workers (unskilled laborers hired through an agency). These were usually men that had dropped out of school early in life and could not be trusted to use power tools safely My friends nicknamed them "Scooby-Dumbs" after Scooby-Doo's dimwitted Grey cousin. This soon becamed shortened to just "Scoobs". Somehow I seemed to be leading groups of these "Scoobs" more often than any of my co-workers - so they dubbed me the "Scoob-Master"!

This all took place back in the late '80s before Scooby-Doo became "retro-trendy" For reasons I cannot fathom, the moniker stuck.

So...... I have come to accept it.

I am the SCOOBMASTER!

It's the name of one of my EQ chars. Named as such because his primary skill was alchohol tolerance (200).

And I used to drink like that IRL occasionally... had over 40 drinks in 6 hours once.

Ahh good ol subspace :)

My name comes from my last name + Bo. I was looking for a new AIM name that did not have any numbers and this was it. Sounds like Robo. Anytime someone wants my name I tell them its my last name followed by Bo like body odor...not that I stink or anything :D

first name + begining of last name, pretty boring. My other handle is Gurillavideo, which is an amage to Rage Against The Machine, but at the time it was created I was running my own video production company. Apparently I couldn't spell either, as it would have more appropriately been "GuerillaVideo"

I love competing online in games...

So I'm an "Armchair Athlete" you could say. Although armchair -> Computer chair, oh whatever.
