    Its the percentage of said country I won in the rarer than the nigerians, congolese lotto!

    It came down to stupid kids in my class having 4 people with same first name. It took them 2 years to realise there was a country called congo. I chose not to say anything ;)

    ;) A Simpsons reference. How original.

    "if the Bible has taught us anything--and it hasn't--is that girls should stick to girls sports, such as hot-oil wrestling, foxy boxing, and such and such."

    hence Foxyboxer

    Paddy Englishman, Paddy Irishman, and Paddy Scotsman fall down a well. The fall kills Paddy Englishman while Paddy Irishman and Paddy Scotsman die later due to injuries and starvation.

    Plus I was born in 1985

    I was joining a dating site a good few years ago and wanted to portray myself as just an ordinary guy (I wish! I'm a freak! ).
    I used the name extra-ordinary_guy joining sites from then on until I signed up somewhere that had a username character limit that didn't allow the 'guy'. From then I've been using both 'extra-ordinary_' and 'extra-ordinary_guy'

    I'm actually a famous RTE celebrity in disguise so I thought AnonoBoy would be a nice inconspicious name.

    I use the same username for everything I sign up for, changed it a bit when I first started using the interweb, then I changed, wanted to go back to an old name, alas it was stolen by some name imposter... so I then had a name problem, solved this easily by becoming "nameproblem" and the great username was born.... :D

    Was it a random name plucked from the air 15 years ago that's still with you ?

    Did you copy someone elses from another board etc ?

    Is there a meaning behind it ?

    Do you use the same name elsewhere ?

    Loads of related questions there :)

    Vince McMahon is a wrestling character that was 'killed' in an explosion. I seen a Gif that i thought was funny where Kane (a wrestler) is responsible for it, thus KKV = Kane Killed Vince.


    I think this is the only place on the net where i use this name though. Everywhere else im "chokeslamcena". Yahoo suggested it many years ago and i just stuck with it. :)

    I'd like to use that name here too, but I' m not paying money to change my username. It'll have to do.

    OP it is manners to state your own opinion/reasons etc. when posing a question such as this on boards.

    You'd never get that from just seeing KKV - that's actually quite interesting :)

    Marge: Question 1: Name one of your childs friends
    Homer: Lets see uh, Barts friends, well there's the fat kid with the thing, uh, the little wiener who's always got his hands in his pockets!
    Marge: They want a name, Homer, not a vague description!
    Homer: Okay....Hank?
    Marge: Hank? Hank who?
    Homer: Hank....Jones!
    Marge: Homer, you made that up

    And thus the username was born.

    A friend of mine was putting a bet on a pig in a pig race(for charity or something) anyway he needed a name for the pig. I first suggested that he call it Juan Claude Van Ham and that what was originally going to be my username. Alas that wouldn't fit in the username space so I went with the other suggestion which was ... Kevin Bacon.

    Name in English was taken, so tried it in Irish, and that was taken too. So I just added a random number, which worked.
