(pasted from my profile in GideonTech): RaDragon was born to Rolfina Draco and Argon the Dragon. Being the Third of Six isn't too bad for this young RaDragon. Lacrosse, web development, and a new hobby, modding, are just a few of RaDragon's interests. Being sheltered from the harms of society, RaDragon's first mass transit ride was on multiple trips on the "T" in Cambridge, MA (USA). If you didn't notice, the name is derived from RaDragon's parents, "Rolfina and Argon". 😉

"Ra" = first two letters of my name (Raciel)
"Dragon" = my birth year, and fixation on mythical creatures
 
I accidently forgot the extra n in millennium. When I tried to register millennium it was already registered!
 
Don't laugh.

Hey, I said don't laugh, damnit!! 😕

I had to build a collection of poems, and artistic works for my Junior year in High School (English 3 Honors). Most of the poems and works by other authors weren't all about computers, but all of my opinions and other topics in the 200 page work was all about computers, hence I named it Geekish Thoughts. The teacher loved it, and gave me a 99 A, the highest grade in the class. Don't ask my why I'm using it here for a handle, I don't really like the name anymore.

Are you still laughing? <slap!> 😛
 
If you have to ask to figured out why my nick is this, you need to meet my IRC trout.😉
 
I used to be really into robots and Star Trek, and Data from the latter fit into both categories. I also love to fly (not real planes yet🙁), so I tagged Fly on the end since Data was almost always taken.🙂
 
Gatsby came about as a twinkiling in my head when i read Fitzgeralds The Great gatsby.

Don't ask me why I suck with it but it has.

Gatsby
 
&quot;Copier's broken again.&quot;

&quot;Will somebody call the f'n Xerox man?&quot;

That pretty much explains it. 😀
 
Somebody already took &quot;Viper&quot;, so I just added &quot;oni&quot; and you got Viperoni.

So, Viper + oni = Viperoni
Mathematically accountable name 😛
 
This name used to be kamikaze, but everyone called me kami (from the good ol' quakeworld days, 3-4 years ago). Been using it ever since...i think it means god/divine wind in an asian language (forgot which one)..hehe 🙂
 
I needed a handle, looked outside at the lawn and saw a sign for a company that fertilizes lawns, company name was Chemlawn. I replaced the ch with sk. thus skemlawn was born.
 
pictionary in jr. high...nobody could get it, then i told them it was convex, you know like concave...still blank stares, thus convex stuck
 
The name I use on here came from way back in the day when I was on AOL (yes I'm sorry, I know better now) and every other spelling of Thrashman I could think of was taken.

I came over to Anandtech looking for help on how to O/C my PC and when I went to register my name (GUNNER) that I use on every other board had been used. So since I call most all of my friends Stallion I just used that.
 
When I first started to play D&amp;D in high school I made a male character called GLOAR. He got killed during the first hour we played. So I figured I needed to do something better.... A women(I am a girl) 😉 If I wanted to continue playing that day I had to make my character in 1/2 hour so I called the character Gloaras.... Been with me ever since.... 😛
