Explain your username!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
101

My original username was patterned after my uncle’s - Petman62 (lives in Petaluma, CA, male, aged 62). I chose SacWoman (I live in Sacramento and am female). Immediately I got messages from the netherworld; for example, “Are you a female with balls?”

I panicked and changed my username immediatley: used the title of a book I was reading, “Stray Kat,” by a local author. AOL wouldn’t allow me that name (no, there wasn’t a StrayKat listed on AOL) so I just added numbers until I came up with ‘23.’

I use the same username and password for everything because it’s too cumbersome remembering all the names/passwords one needs for internet use. Know this isn’t a wise thing to do, but it’s a convenient method. So far, no problems.

102

DPJ is an incredibly obscure reference to “The Princess Bride,” which features IMO the all-time finest sword fight in movie history between the Dread Pirate Roberts and Inigo Montoya.

103

Mine’s a rather unoriginal abbreviation of my name. If it weren’t so discouraged, I’d change it.

104

My first name and a number.

Kinda pissed that the user ‘Gyan’ has never used it.

Most probably, its just me having registered it a few months back and forgotten the password.

Oh, well.

105

Across The Sea is a Weezer song from their 2nd album Pinkerton. The song is about how the guy loves a girl who’s in Japan, and in order to be with her he has to move there. It’s my life in reverse: the guy I loved was sent to Japan so in order to be with him I moved here too.

106

I have no clue, so NoClue

I have a tool, so Boy

All together, NoClueBoy

107

A good friend of mine has a stuffed monkey made of socks and called me her little sock monkey. =)

108

I have a long standing story among friends regarding raisins, obese black felines and the combination thereof that takes place in a merry juniper patch with ladybugs who have an inclination for whispering off color stories to folks making them blush a deep red. And I figured what could be more inoccuous than raisinbread?

109

From a line in a sonnet

110

I am small. I am Alex
Funny isn’t it?

A nickname from school, would have been just Al, but that was taken.

111

I work with these —> C. brachyrhynchos
Such a SweetBaboo! Whatta-widdie-sweet-face!

Pronounced brack-ee-rink-os. Not rhinoceros.

112

Errr…the sig says it all, really. Oh, it’s Latin.

113

Mine is from the Meselson and Stahl experiment which showed the semiconservative nature of DNA replication.

brach, he’s great! I want one. Can you really teach them to talk?

114

My mother was born and raised in Scotland, as was my father’s mother. (Dad’s dad was born and raised in Finland, but he lost out in the SDMB name game.)

My name is Cheri.

Scotti (Scottish) and cher (Cheri).

Boring but true.

115

I picked this name out for absolutely no reason, and it has no meaning whatsoever.

116

Per dictionary.com: LEL - acronym for Lower Explosive Limit.

I’d have gone with that :smiley:

117

Heh, light strand, actually crows and magpies will talk (but I don’t think they pick it up as easily as parrots do).

118

It’s a reflection. I suppose I could have been Reflection noitcelfeR. It doesn’t look as nice as my present name, though.

I wish I could make the letters in egamI rorriM backwards, but my knowledge of html is basically limited to bold and italics.

119

Mine is from the title of a 35 year old song and means absolutely nothing (as far as I know).
I’m frightfully old.

120

I had a vision…and it just came to me. giggle
