Explain your screen name

**BrewMaster** · 03-24-2002, 09:41 PM

So i've wondered for a while what some of y'alls screen names mean, so exlpain them to the rest of us.

Mine is pretty simple. I like beer. One who brews beer is called the brew master (or brew meister in germany). i don't brew my own beer, but hopefully that'll change in a few years. anyway, i love beer hence i am BrewMaster.

I was reading the Satanic Bible, and There is a list of "infernal Names" from most of the cultures and I saw this Name and I loved it, and told my then girlfriend, and she took it as a pet name for me that I've used ever since. So.. that's how I got the name, Nija.

i dont really know how i got my screen name. my nick name through most of high school was BoOMeR, a play on how one of my best friends pronounced my name and sometime during my 2nd year of college someone gave me the name ToMMy BoOMFiGeR.

Well, I went to UF for undergrad and got the nickname Crusher from some of my brothers. Hence, UFCRUSHER. For some reason I think I may have explained the full Crusher story here a long time ago, so I wont bother. But lets just say its the result of going to Gras and a lot of liquor.

I was registering over at 3dnow.net and I needed a nick. So I just combined my dorm w/ my gender (Grainger + Guy)

= GraingerGuy

It's just kinda stuck over the years!

Glad you cleared that up ... I thought that was "Appalachian Husky Mutt" this whole time.

your name is actually Memo? did your parents not like you or something?

**NuTs62** · 03-25-2002, 01:48 AM

is it really appropriate to explain my SN?

Well, few years ago, after Starcraft came out, my friends were teaching me the game. Shortly after, they introduced me to Battle.net. Like many others, they were in a clan. Whats weird is that they were called the "food clan". There was a "food", "beef", "soup", "stinkytofu", "beer", "cheese", and many other names. So I was to come up with one. I wanted one that would have different meanings and kind of explain the way I played, acted, and be funny at the same time. My friends called my tactics nuts, so thats the name I used. The numbers 62 is my birthdate.

Of course there could be other meanings but we won't go there

Maybe they needed someone or something to remember things for them..? His name ain't that bad. I can see how he was probably teased alot. Heh, my name didn't play too well with the other kids back then either.

and about memo's name...i've heard of that name before. i think it's more popular with people of hispanic descent.

**Kevster** · 03-25-2002, 03:20 AM

Hmmm... what part of "Kevster" is there to explain?

As for the name, I've been to Saint Kevin's Monastery and church, seen Saint Kevin's Cross and Saint Kevin's Bed (his tomb) and even rode on Saint Kevin's Bus line.

Not that my real name might be Kevin - if it were it's probably just coincidence...

**oblongmelon** · 03-25-2002, 05:28 AM

Uh...*blank look*...I am a watermelon farmer?

**johnnymk** · 03-25-2002, 05:32 AM

A friend of mine is always making fun of people. I called him a mocker one day and somehow he never forgot it. So he started calling me a mocker. When we would see each other, we would say "What a mocker!" to each other and start laughing.
I decided to use johnnymock when I signed up for AIM. Well, I went on to one of their online relationship chat sights with the johnnymock name, and I decided it didn't portray a decent image when trying to meet someone, so I changed it to johnnymk. So I use it a lot when I go to various sights.
