No, dont do drugs at all. Supposedly they kinda knew someone with long hair exactly like mine called Mushy, so the name was transferred onto me by them. I havent questioned this decision since

I was listening to the Super Furry Animals when asked to come up with one. Sadly I found out afterwards there's another, more sinister brand of furry out there - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_lifestyler

My story is boring... When I first connected to the internet in an internet café in Grafton Street it was to create an Yahoo! e-mail address. My name being Stéphane I requested it to be stephane@yahoo.com. Obviously it was taken so the website proposed a list of similar addresses. Steffano2002@yahoo.com was at the top so I just used that. And because my memory is poor I decided to use this for the (hundreds!) of website I have to create an account for... As you can see, boring/cr@p story...

The old Brooke Shields film and I live by a place called Laguna on the blue Pacific. Take your pick.

GAAman · 02-06-2006 07:40PM

I love football and i am a man.................and yet it took me a full month to come up with the nick

YeatsCounty · 02-06-2006 07:41PM

Mine comes from the place where I was born and schooled, Sligo. Why did I choose "yeatscounty"? Because I'm an unimaginative git, that's why.

There a game called Zuma from popcap games that I like.

Bejeweled and Rocket Mania are pretty good as well....but Zuma was shortest

robinph · 02-06-2006 07:43PM

I blame my parents.

Call Me Jimmy · 02-06-2006 07:43PM

One day in 4th / 5th year, my friend deno just blurted out a request for us to call him jimmy from now on. The quote was "Just call me Jimmy, boys!".

i was gonna use my own name, but someone had already taken it. julep was written on a piece of paper in front of me, so i just used that.

Revelation Joe · 02-06-2006 08:04PM

From a very minor character in Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' books.
Ronron Revelation Joe Shuwadhi appears in one footnote in one book out of a series of nearly thirty!
Although he is also mentioned in the Discworld Noir game

WellyJ · 02-06-2006 08:14PM

Weldon = surname

Welly = nickname as a result

J = First initial

Therefore.....

WellyJ was a logical choice

Narcissus · 02-06-2006 08:22PM

I was gonna pick "Pisslips" but it was already taken.

Nah, seriously, Apapaia is the name of a song by an Italian group called Litfiba.

tallus · 02-06-2006 08:24PM
