Delta-9 is the name of the recording studio I work for.
It’s also the beginning of the chemical name for wacky weed.
Delta-nine…tetra…hydr…canna… whatever. Anybody seen my roach clip?
The odds that the bread will fall butter side down are directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.
A fictitious fighter pilots’ call sign in an obscure WWII aviation novel set during the Battle of Britain, June - September 1940.
I just liked the sound of it; has a certain ring.
While visiting Hawaii, I came across some souvenir keychains that had Hawaiian versions of English names. My name (Jeff) translates to Kepi in Hawaiian. I thought it sounded cool.
Q: How many of the names you tried to register were used already?
A: NONE! BWAHAHA!
PS to kawliga: that is a real name, but it’s spelt Klydgia.
I bet you’ve guessed already, right?
Well, actually, a friend spent three years thinking my name was “Stolnick” which is not my last name but is durn close in pronunciation if you mumble it. I walked into a bar where she worked a year or so ago with some friends and she said “Stol!”. It stuck.
Now, where was that bottle?
Back a 100 years ago, when cyberspace first came on the scene, I wanted the name “Soul Man” because my fondness for the song of the same name. Obviously it was taken so a friend suggested “Drollman” because:
1: I play the drums, drollman could be short for “drum roll man.” and
2: I subliment my income by writing humour on a free lance basis, (A “U” in humour? Yup, I’m Canadian.) and he thought drollman was better than “funny man.”
BTW-I doff my chapeau to the creativity of the above postings. You folks are best o’ the net! I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me!
With God as my witness, I thought turkey’s could fly.
There are two obvious interpretations. Both are accurate.
My initials. I have no idea where the 1 came from. From deep within the recesses of The Straight Dope®, no doubt. I assume it means if someone else picks jab, he or she will be jab2.

Aha! There You Are!

I should say it’s self-explanitory…
An affinity for wolves, coupled with a Polish heritage, add in heavy hairiness… plus it was my counter-nickname from Rat…

Shayna and I have been friends for a several (two? three?) years and I witnessed the harassment. I changed my screen name because I didn’t want to be involved in all the nastiness. I couldn’t think of a name and Shayna said “You like the show Will and Grace. How about Grace?”
Shayna also named my cat (Athena). She didn’t think Dawn Corleone (ha! ha!) was a good name for a cat.
“Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.”
I’ve always tried to be the good guy, the “knight in shining armour” type. and I shine floors at night.
So it has a dual meaning for me.
I was glad to see it wasn’t taken.

Hehehe - Just kidding too. You can’t get rid of me that easily 
My came from the time I worked on the F-18 E/F program. There were too many people on the program will the same name. If you said “Hey Bill or Jim” fifteen people would turn around, so it was decided that we would all have call signs. Just like the pilots the group chose your call sign and this is what the came up with. I was on the project so long that most people forgot my real name.

Breckinshire is the name of the kingdom I came up with a few years ago during my second semester in college. I plan on using it to destroy ever semblance of democracy and converting the world to a feudal system, with myself as the figurehead of power. However, unbeknowest to me, my son will plot my death. I’ll find out and realize that the I’ve been selfish, and the people need a voice. Then, I’ll go into voluntary exile and slowly unravel the Kingdom that I spent so many years building… Sigh… Well, I better get started; I ain’t gettin’ any younger.
Oh, and I found out that there is actually such a place in Great Britain. They’ll be the first to go for stealing my idea.
Rufus T. Firefly is the name of Groucho Marx’ character in Duck Soup. In the days before Monty Python, the Marx Brothers were the unquestioned champs of comedy of the sort that stepped outside the bounds of reality.

Not that it’s gone to my head or anything.
It’s my favorite song, and it’s intro is the first riff I learned to play on guitar.
