it sounded cool at the time, now I kinda regret it cause everyone calls me nazi, but it is really a merger of the word narly and crazy...cause I'm a bit of both
 
Was in a band called letdown. letdown was taken (on whatever forum it was I tried to get it). 427 was from a particular Shelby Cobra I'd quite like.

I used it so I didn't have to remember more.

 
My name is Andrew which is where the Drew comes from. My mom actually made up the username when I was little. The "Kool" part is kind of corny, I admit, but it's just been my username for so long.

Around the time I turned 21, disco was making a comeback. (I know, I know) My friends and I would go to thrift stores and buy polyester leisure suits and wire them with a row of LED's down each leg. We would then go out and hit the clubs. No mater where we were, the chicks really dug them and we got a lot of attention. We took trips to New York, Philly, Toronto, Pittsburgh, New Orleans and many other places, and everywhere people would ask how they could buy a pair of the pants. So lightpants.com was born. We would post the pictures from all the places we had gone and all the people we had met.
About that time I realized that the username "lightpants" was never taken when I signed up for anything and I started using it.

um... WTF?!
 
I took Squisher as a nick when I was into playing Quake online. It's kinda based on what I do for a living. I work at a forge where we heat steel up to 2250F and squish it into shapes, i.e. axles, connection rods, stabilizer bars.

Or, it could be what happens when my fat ass sits on a jelly donut.

 
My name is Jason, and people liken me to Vince Carter on the basketball court. Since his nickname is Vinsanity because of the crazy aerial dunks he can do, people call me Jasanity
 
It's in a song called "black spade" in the musical Hair. The dude says "I am the President of the United States of Love, yes, the United States of Love."

My dad sometimes calls me Mr. President.
 
Cone is my last name so starting in high school I was nicknamed conehead (well before SNL) and sometimes coney (a rabbit). The #433 relates to a dream or more specifically to the exact time upon waking from this particular dream.

Just something I came up with one day years ago trying to think of a username that wasn't already taken a million times over.
