eskay ace
skay ce (or something)

Started out as "ace" because it was the first thing I punched in at the 3 letter highscores at arcades. When I got on the internet I realized that ace was kinda popular. sk stands for Shadow Knight and was the name of a group of people I played Quake with.

I decided to combine the two to create an original name that I could keep as my own. Thankfully, it is far more original than just ace. Yet, it is cursed by the fact that it seems to be some weird word in another language, as every once in awhile my name gets stolen by people who don't speak english, or they send me weird messages.

four forty six pack - the engine in my 1970 Dodge Challenger noted in sig - 440 cubic inch (7.2L for the young 'uns :) ) V-8 w/3 2-barrel carbs, for a total of 6 barrels, hence the term "six-pack". Plymouths were called "six-barrels".

HAHAHA.. now I gotta think of how to prounounce my nick..

okay, it's Brandon. Yup, you prounounce Brxndxn as Brandon. The x's are silent and they're hiding the vowels because when I originally signed up for AOL about 13 years ago, I had Brandon. Then, I quit AOL and lost it.. and when I signed up for AIM about 5 years ago, Brandon was taken. And I really didn't want to be the suggest Brandon1341234123443266747748383774747383847738383847389191394879487 that AOL gave me.

One of the ladies saw me and Todd and said something like "That is so gross. Ya'll are such maggotry!". At that very moment we changed the name of the band from Eviscerator to Maggotry. I've used Maggotry for my on-line nick, including gaming, for about 10 years now.

Yum ;)

Anyways mine's self explanatory....

My friend uses Silverwolf for almost everything, and so I took up Blackwolf, and somehow I came up with thawolfman....:confused:

No, it has nothing in reference to September 11th. I just thought of the emergency number when I thought up of the name.

At the Univ. of South Florida, my really close Indian friends wanted to give me an Indian nickname since I had an American name. Based on my calm demeanor, they chose Jalaram.

Needless to say, I felt quite honored.
