For me, the first time that I played D&D I picked Chaotic Neutral as my alignment, and to be stupid I told some NPC that my name was Chaotic Neutral when he asked.

42 is from The Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy.

My last name is Ko and the Beach Boys had that stupid song from the movie "Cocktail"... so my friends called me that during HS.

I used to post as 'Skyclad' on a Dutch forum, it being the name of my favorite band at that time.
At one point someone said it would be fun to 'invade' ATOT as aliens, and to distinguish us we'd all have the alien avatar, and put '1uhm1' behind our names.
The Off-Topic part on the other forum was slowing it down so much (and there were a lot of racists in the end), that the computer magazine who's site it was decided to close that part down.
As I had already posted once in a while here, and was looking for another place, I frequented this place a bit more, and kinda seem to have gotten stuck here :eek:

:p

um.... Skyclad1uhm1....I always thought that was your name because you were nude! (as in the traditional meaning of "skyclad") :eek:

And how about your name? Are you jolly and furry? ;)

Norton from the Honeymooners called himself a Subterranean Sanitation Engineer ;)

When I applied for another job while I worked for McDonalds, I put my job as "Rapid Cuisine Preparation Engineer"

I tried to find cheap memory for the box I am posting from now. (Compaq)
I became a FrustratedUser. At first I was PoorUser but I screwed up the account.

I get my name from Razor Saltboy, which is an actual name of a member of the Navajo Indian nation. I met him about five years ago, and I guess I liked the name so much, I took it! :)

Two or three springs ago we planted some seeds. In the fall, we harvested those seeds and sold them. One buddy called it 'The Royal.' It was pretty dank stuff. When signing up a couple places years ago, I couldn't think of a handle, so I decided to just use royaldank. If someone is into smoking a bit, they understand the name. Others don't really give it a second thought. It's much less obnoxious than something like 420lover.
