What does everybody's USER ID's on AT Forums mean and how did you pick it?

The Stigenator

Like mine is "The_good_guy"
Picked it because that is what I am. Inspired by the "Good Guys" Catalog. I have been called before a "Good Boy"/"Good Guy" before so that name stuck a chord.

 
Mmm. Let me get my zircon-encrusted tweezers and see if I can answer that. You can blame my nick on the Dennil Floss Bush! :Q It all started way back in the fall of 1973. I was listening to Frank Zappa's song Montana while lighting up a roach... As my head and shoulders were buried in the vent of my Eliminator 1 speaker, I noticed an expression that was a near anagram of my real name...

A little trivia about the vocals: Frank Zappa with Kin Vassy ("Yippy-Ty-O&quot😉 and backing vocals by Tina Turner & The Ikettes.

See if the lyrics enlighten you.

I might be movin' to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental Floss

Raisin' it up
Waxen it down
In a little white box
That I can sell uptown

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I just might grow me some bees
But I'd leave the sweet stuff
To somebody else . . . but then, on the other hand Iwould

Keep the wax
N' melt it down
Pluck some Floss
N' swish it aroun'

I'd have me a crop
An' it'd be on top (that's why I'm movin' to Montana)

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (yes I am)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
That's growin' on the prairie
Pluckin' the floss!
I plucked all day an' all nite an' all
Afternoon . . .

I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He's a good hoss
Even though
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Any way

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks

I'm gonna find me a horse
Just about this big,
An' ride him all along the border line

With a
Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I might
Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin'
In the moon-lighty night

And then I'd
Get a cuppa cawfee
N' give my foot a push . . .
Just me 'n the pygmy pony
Over the Dennil Floss Bush

N' then I might just
Jump back on
An' ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana

Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon

Dirty Love (Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention)

 
When I was in high school, people use to call me tateman. My last name is tate. It was either that or tatertot 🙂
 
High school nick name, and yes my real name is Ross.

What's even weirder is I used to date a girl named Rachel (before the TV shows "Friends" ever existed)
 
Tomcat is easy to remmember, it means male cat. Also there are some tomcat figher planes. As an added bonus people sometimes call me Tom, which is not my real name, but is enjoyable as a second identity.
 
That's what the girls back in college called me. My next dorr neighbor and partner in crime was the Timdogg. Ahhhh.... the hazy alcohol clouded memories.

This girl was harrasing my friend Chris one night because he wouldn't help her cheat on her boyfriend ( a friend of his ). This made me extremely mad so I went off on the girl. I embarrassed the girl infront of the whole group. The next day all my friends were laughing about it, my friend said I had sounded like Robin from the Howard Stern Show ... so I got the nickname Bad_Robin . Which I used for over a year and a half before meeting e_mc_2 upon which he decided I was too sweet to be bad so he renamed me Sweet_Robin and it stuck. I've been sweetrobin for about 2 years now.
 
Mine was the name of one of the very few female Autobots on an old robot cartoon called "Transformers". I grew up watching that show and loved it to pieces. I also loved the G.I.Joe cartoon. I am a huge cartoon fan so a character I loved was my natural choice. My favorite character on G.I. Joe was Scarlett but Elita1 seemed a little more unique.

So go ahead, make fun of me.🙂 Even now I watch saturday morning cartoons with the joy of a kid and I am bowled over by Titan A.E. And that Batman Beyond is just the most awesome cartoon out there. Oh, and Pokemon! I love Pokemon. Oh and and and--

I'm such a freak. I better stop😀
 
Pokemon Rules Elita1!!! Transformers, G.I.Joe, and Voltron were my shows. Now I watch Pokemon and the new transformers with my son.

 
Tate, I LOVED Voltron!!
would you believe that when it was popular my little toddler brother got the actual set of robot toys that transformed into voltron and broke it in 3 days????
I wanted to throttle him....
funny thing is he doesn't even remember🙂
 
Jennifer Zynn = JenniZ

I know, complicated 🙂.. Zynn isnt really my last name, it is my "internet last name". Its unique, and I grew attached to it. I almost considered making it my real last name, because its unique.

Usually I use "Rubicon" though, I only use JenniZ here, because people from #neochat know me as that.

Now you wonder what a Rubicon is:


<<
Main Entry: Ru·bi·con
Pronunciation: 'r&uuml;-bi-&quot;k&auml;n
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin Rubicon-, Rubico, river of northern Italy forming part
of the boundary between Cisalpine Gaul and Italy whose crossing by
Julius Caesar in 49 B.C. was regarded by the Senate as an act of war
Date: 1626
: a bounding or limiting line; especially : one that when crossed
commits a person irrevocably

I was a latecomer to the Internet, and I finally got a connection just about the time I got Mechwarrior3. I went to the MW3 Forums to read and eventually wanted to post a comment, so I needed a user name and picked mechBgon, the name I'd used in the MW2: Mercenaries game. It's a takeoff of Ortho &quot;WeedBgon&quot; herbicide... make sense?

A lot of you are probably to young to remember the Mr. Bill show on SNL. Sluggo was the mean blue one that always got Mr. Bill. My sister told me that I was mean to her like Sluggo was to Mr. Bill. 🙂
