Origins of A Username

MitchKoobski

I know theres an optional question on the CP and a thread about the best usernames, but theres times when I see a username and think "How in the name of god did they come up with a username as clever as that? Where did it come from?"
So my suggestion is to post the origins of your username or at least how you came up with it. Is it a clever thought out username, or something you set up when you were 13 and now regret?

MitchKoobski
Started using it about 5 or 6 years ago when I had to come up with an e-mail address. The name Mitch Koobski is actually a bonus unlockable character from the videogame SSX:On Tour. The character itself is a skiing glam rock unicorn.:cool:
Alternate username is MitchVonKoobski
Wherever you see this username, or even see it used in an e-mail address, its generally me.

Birth certificate.

Duggy747

Superbus

Lucius Tarquinius Superbus (535 B.C. – 496 B.C.) was the seventh King of Rome, reigning from 535 until the Roman revolt in 509 B.C. which would lead to the establishment of the Roman Republic. He is more commonly known by his cognomen Tarquinius Superbus and was a member of the Etruscan dynasty of Rome. The historian Dionysius of Halicarnassus may have divided one historical figure named Tarquin into two separate kings because of problems with dating their legendary events. Superbus was also called Tarquin the Proud[1] and Tarquin II among other titles / names. It is said that Superbus killed the preceding king, Servius Tullius to make himself king of Rome.
Superbus' father, Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, was the fifth King of Rome reigning from 616-579 B.C. His grand-father was said to be Demaratus the Corinthian, from the Greek city of Corinth. Priscus came from the Etruscan city of Tarquinii. Disgruntled with his opportunities in Etruria, Priscus migrated to Rome with his wife Tanaquil, at her suggestion. A propitious omen is said to have led to Priscus' establishment as King of Rome.
There are few surviving sources on Superbus' reign, and he is described as a tyrant and dictator when ruling the kingdom. He directed much of his attention to ambitious war plans and he eventually annexed various Latin neighboring city states. In 509 B.C. the people revolted as a result of his son Sextus Tarquinius' rape of Lucretia, who was an important noblewoman in the kingdom.

InkSlinger67

InkSlinger is a translation of the name "Koobé Tabé" which was bestowed upon me by a little known South American tribe during a spiritual journey I made accidentally one day while travelling to Dolphin's Barn Tesco. That and it sounds cool - the 67 just enhances it's coolness.

But seriously, I hope to write a book or two later in life

Someone said "Hey Dudess!" to me once, and around the same time, I joined Boards. Didn't put much thought into it but then again, I didn't think I'd be using Boards for long... or much.

First thing that came to mind and decided to go with it, as i thought it would be suitably pretentious, irritating and dismissive if i happened to engage in debate with anyone :pac:; i am as can be.
Also i think it sounds kinda cool.
