    With all these wonderfully imaginative usernames that exist in boards, I was just wondering, where does your username come from? Mine is from the kayaking company, Sweet. They make helmets and other accesories. What about you?

    Maquiladora Lyrics
    Artist(Band):Radiohead


    Here it comes, Here it comes,
    I can feel the hills exploding
    Exploding gracefully
    Burning up the freeway
    Here it comes
    Grass is green at the edge of the bubble
    Beautiful kids into beautiful trouble
    And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you.
    Oh baby burn

    Fast die younger
    Burns rubber
    Useless rockers
    From England
    Good times
    Had by all
    Just swallow your guilt and your crutches
    Blue and white birds stop and hide on the pedal
    Interstate fire walk staright down the middle,
    And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you
    Oh baby burn

    Mine comes from Super Smash Bros Melee... a really good GameCube fighting game.
    Event Match 6 is called "Kirbys on Parade", and its tagline is "Look out! A rainbow of Kirbys is after you!". So after playing SSBM for 6 hours on the day I decided to get a new account... rainbow kirby I became. :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 345 ✭✭thejovialhost


    Book called Silas Marner. Basically our english teacher gave us notes that a character (Squire Cass) is a jovial host. He was my favorite teacher so what he said goes. True story


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,255 ✭✭✭TCamen


    Mine's an abbreviation of Tuxedo Camen who is a character in the anime 'Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon'. I was watching it @ the time I signed up -- slightly bored of the series now, but I'm not bothered changing my handle. Also it should technically be spelled with a K not a C, oh well :rolleyes:

    Mine comes from patzer - a poor or amateurish cbess player which was my nickname at school for some reason, and then 117 which is the first number which is divisible by or contains 3, 7, and 11, thus being the first "Gheel Bot King" in the game of the same name.

    America was bombing somewhere - must have been Serbia I guess, at the time. And I was looking for a handle to use for gaming, that no-one else had.

    They bombed a hospital, and the words Civilian Target stuck in my mind for some reason.

  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 30,019 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Once upon a time, myself and friends were trying to come up with the coolest names imaginable. Johnny Ultimate sprung to mind.
    But we didnt leave it there - we created him as the ultimate superhero who gains superpowers after consuming radioactive cornflakes. He then went on to defeat evil in the form of Hermes Von Criminal (aka the Bus Conductor, who killed with bus ticket paper cuts) and the Gardener (who threw seeds in people mouths, sprinkled them with water, and promptly their head exploded). We even made a short film of it, which sits unfinished up in my room.
