    No one else wanted to pick my username, so I had to pick it myself.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    My friends parrot was called Joey. Joey lived for about 40 years, loved singing opera with Pavarotti and they always thought the bird was male. Turned out in the end as my friends said "ee were a Joanna all along"

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I was pimping a blog at the time (and got taken to task for it)
    The Beer Revolution was too long so I ended up with the beer revolu:o
    Being a user here lasted way longer than the blog.

    I just kept it simple and used my real name.

    From a Viz magazine character called Roger Irrelevant. From the Wiki:
    Roger Irrelevant ("He's Completely Hatstand") – a young man with a very strange mental problem where he continually produces irrelevant and surreal streams of language and behaviour. In one strip, Roger throws a lamp from the roof of a house after a long, impassioned (and obviously unsuccessful) plea for the lamp not to commit suicide. On another occasion he decides to elope with an armchair, declaring it is pregnant with his children. Another time sees him disrupting the funeral of a relative by dragging the corpse out of the coffin and - employing a Brooklyn accent and emulating a character from a Mickey Spillane novel - aggressively questioning the deceased about some stolen goods. His parents seem to be very understanding and merely politely request that he stops his behaviour. These are the only times that Roger manages to show any sign of interaction with real people, although usually it is only in the form of saying things like "wibble wibble". (Dictionary.com attributes this nonsense-word to Roger; see External Links below.) "Frisnit" and "z'goft" are two of Roger's other favourite words.
    *emphasis mine*

    So I got Wibbs. He who wibbles. Mostly irrelevantly. Frisnit was running a close second.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I had a colleague several years ago who was a Boards junkie. I created an account with the intention of, as a wind-up, only posting to disagree with everything he said. In the end I couldn't be bothered doing it, but when I actually started to use Boards years later I used the login I'd already set up. I don't use this name anywhere else.

    Frank Sinatra was singing this song in the background

    This is well in excess of my 20th name on here...and the first time it's an actual persons name!...a b-baller.. but picked it for a secondary reason

    It was also Pearl Jam's name when they were only recording demos on Sony Walkmans.

    As for my username, I randomly made it up two years ago. I'd definitely change it if I could, but I hear you can if you get a paid subscription (which is cheap for a month). Only issue is I currently have no methods of purchasing one. Bah humbug.

    When I first signed up in 2014, my username was HeathenWolf which kinda reflected my personal journey at that time.
