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?

is it that much of a problem to you? if you seen it all before why come in again?and why post? they should just delete your post,not the thread,

as mentioned already,there are new people everyday and it is new to them

New to me. Only opened thread as I had not seen it before. If you've read this thread before then why bother opening it? Not all members have read everything in boards.

Afraid mines not too exciting to be honest.

Was sitting at my computer screen trying to think of username and in my hand I had a bottle of This Stuff and alas Feelgood was born as a boardsie.

So whats the story behind your username, why did you pick it?

This has been done before. Originally used to treat premature ejaculation I believe hundreds of years ago. Also seldom used as a bodybuilding supplement for it's alleged ability to increase testosterone levels.

Thomas A. Anderson, alias Neo, is one amongst billions of humans asleep, neurally connected to the Matrix, unaware that the world he lives in is anything other than it appears. Throughout the trilogy Agent Smith refers to him as Mr. Anderson.
