Mine: jupiter57
Meaning: When I first signed up on some site, Hotmail maybe, I picked jupiter because I am an astronomy buff and Jupiter is my favorite of the planets.
The 57 came about because when I tried to use 55 (My birth year), that handle was already used, so I tried going down a few, no luck.
Finally started going up and jupiter57 stuck.
I like having my username the same whenever possible, and jupiter57 came natural after a while.

'Aquila' was a nickname my grandfather gave me. We were walking back to the car one day when I saw something near the tire. Ended up being a small screw that would have given him a flat tire. He thought I was 'eagle-eyed' because I saw it from quite a distance away. The nickname stuck, although he was the only one to ever call me that IRL.

'76' is my birthyear.

I've gone by Supermercado on forums and games for a while now (yes, I know it means "supermarket" in Spanish, but I took it from the title of a 2 Skinnee J's album). One of my old Counter-Strike clanmates accidentally called me SuperCommando on the voice comm one day. When I registered here, I think Supermercado was taken (or I was unable to use it for some reason, I can't even remember anymore), so I just used SuperCommando. I should look into having the mods change it for me if I can.

Mostly unknown metal band from Louisiana.

Really cool sound. The lead singer, Dax, went on to sing in a few other bands.
The CD's were cool too because they would commission serial killers to do their cover art from prison. So they had cover art by Dahmer, Manson, etc...

Sparky = my nickname, given to me when I first started playing with electricity and, well, threw some sparks... OK OK not some, quite a bit actually...

but the name was already taken (same with my email and whatever else) so I add my initials JJO on the end

I used to smoke regular full flavor Marlboro cigarettes in a flip-top box. So everyday when I went to the store, I'd ask for a 'box of reds'.

Similar to my last name. Some people call me it as my nick name I guess.

Added the "87" because I messed up and signed up under a hotmail account and the account name "Cawchy" was forever lost.
