vtec_vixen · 2012-02-18 10:58:11

Not sure if this is the right place to put this.. It's my first thread (awww) lol.. Just I've seen some pretty mad usernames in my travels as a boardsie and I was wondering how people chose theirs :D:D

Where'd you get your Username from??
(Please move to more appropriate Forum where necessary please and t.y.)

Originally mine was born from the varying forms of emotions used such as bored.com and excited.com etc., which were becoming popular with the increased use of computers and texting etc. So I plumped for confused.com. Ironically it couldn't be any more apt if I actually sat down and hand-picked the name myself lol as I do come across quite confused at times lol!! :D Well I didn't really know the ins-and-out of setting up Accounts and names etc., but I was going for the actual dotcom rather than .com to ensure I wouldn't get into trouble if it was believed I was only on here pimping my business!! :eek: Ironically as it turns out there actually is a Business of same name!! :P D'oh me!

It's a bastardisation of my surname.
Strangely when I signed up no one in the real world called me Gillo, no I'm very often referred to as Gillo in the real world.

Rainbow drops were my favourite sweets when I was a kid. A couple of packets of those bad boys and a can of coke, and I used be bouncing off the ceiling for the rest of the day. Good times!!

I was going through a pretty hard time when I registered, and my username pretty much reflects how I felt at the time.

Went to college in Cork and the city lads found Padraig to much of an effort so they called me Podge, my fellow non urban housemates found this amusing and thus one night while drunk and stalking around our gaff impersonating a velociraptor, my housemates christened my drunken mutation as the Podgemonster.

WP are two of my initials, and Rathead is in reference to Jimmy Sullivan the now deceased drummer of A7X (from his Pinkly Smooth days)

unfortunately people read it as W-Prathead instead of the intended WP-Rathead

Well, I was Duggy's housemate, and he was worried about me coming in and killing him so I signed up and posted to put his mind at rest.

I wanted to dedicate my time here to disproving and destroying with logic the liberal tripe that people often write on this site. So far my mission has been a success.
