I would like to imagine I had a witty name. This way is easier than having an actual one. That’s it.
Or is it?
Yes
hmm…lets all think together now…
a certain film of the 70s comes to mind by makers of the initials M and P.
I haven’t had time to catch up on this thread, but I will later. You see Dr. Quest only allows me to use the computer after Johnny and Hadji are in bed, and I have fed Bandit.
I don’t have time tonight, because I have to wash the hovercraft. Dr. Zin kinda messed it up last week.
When I was about two, our current babysitter called my mom at work and told her to come home right away because she (babysitter) was leaving immediately. She would only tell my mom that I was a ‘bad, bad baby, very bad, very bad baby.’ When Mom got there I was alone, sitting on the counter naked and throwing eggs around the kitchen. Mom agreed that I was indeed a bad baby and the name’s stuck for no good reason, I swear.
Well, it’s not about vegetables.
When I decided to give up lurking full-time, I was pretty darn sure all the really clever names were already taken (I once had an AOL screen name of myhairybut because that’s what I wanted AOL to kiss when I couldn’t get it to accept any username that didn’t have a zipcode appended to it.) The Rhubarb moniker comes from a series of fairly low grade books by H. Allen Smith (Rhubarb the Cat, son of Rhubarb, etc.) I read one of them in my early teens and liked the name and I figured at least ONE person on the SDMB would get the reference (none have mentioned it yet.)
Btw, I also started a similar thread awhile back (Algernon missed it), which got tons of responses and several ‘Here we go agains’ 
There are too many people named Chris.
So all my life there’s been Chris, Christopher, The Other Chris, and then Hamster (me). (Sounds like my last name)
…which then becomes Hammy. Canadian TV Show
I soon grew to hate my inevitable nickname, and I added the silent P to reclaim it for myself, bring it closer to my surname. And because lots of people spell it hampster damnit!!!
This was years before the Hampster Dance.
I did join the SDMB with the nick Scralden,
Scralden Haste. get it? lol. :rolleyes:
But this place mellowed me, and taught me to have a little pride in myself.

High Priestess = tarot card. 'nuff said.
Actually I got the idea from my counter-strike clan name (okay… geek… yeah, I know), which is [ONI]Priestess.
I have no idea why I started using that name, since I can’t read tarot (though I sure do like the idea and the art on a lot of tarot decks) or anything… I just thought it sounded cool. 
Named for the best name ever in professional sports… Van Lingle Mungo.
He was a fireball throwin’, hi-ball drinkin’ pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers during the 1930’s.
Mungo, the man
I believe An Arky is the one who already figured out my user name.
The song is called Little Lighthouse by the Dukes Of Stratosphere.
My name is Kade, and a friend calls me his little cupkade, I thought it was sweet…

A few years ago, I started writing for a now-defunct website about UFOs and related topics. At the time, I wanted a new email address to use on that website. I had always thought it was kind of cool, in a silly sort of way, that all the UFO organizations have these contrived acronymic names, usually with “UFO” worked in somewhere. So I came up with NJUFOIC@yahoo.com - “New Jersey UFO Investigation Committee”. Of course, this does not really exist. It was sort of a joke that was funny to me at the time.
I’m not sure why I decided to use njufoic as my SDMB name when I registered last year. I can be found on many other message boards as A L Hubcaps, which is a reference to my initials and the fact that I sell hubcaps.

Oops, dummy me… that should be Stratosphear!!:smack:
Why can’t I edit???
kung fu because I like all the campy pop-culture associations kung fu has. The whole idea of kicking butt is something that makes me smile because it reminds me of my two favourite franchises of all time, BtVS and James Bond.
It also figured in Madonna’s last concert tour, which was the best party I’ve ever been to.
Lola also has campy pop-culture associations, is the name of my favourite porn star, and is the nickname of Madonna’s gorgeous wee girl.
I guess it just reflects everything I’m into.
Badger was taken…by someone who never used it.
Well, despite the fact that a search of simply my username brings up a whole lot of religious type people, the name is actually a Tibetan regional variation on the vampire. Some of my other choices might have been: kwakiytl, avarcolac or kattakhanes. I picked this one as being the easiest to read.
I read it somewhere (maybe even in an X-files book) and started using it.
I think I have also told this story before.
I have an interest in the stars and planets.
I must confess, I’m not very knowledgeable, but I find it fascinating.
For instance, how could the Farmer’s Almanac predict, so accurately, the recent severe snow storm in the East?
Anaxagoras was the first person in (documented) history to postulate that the Earth orbited the Sun rather than vice-versa. He founded meteorology, offered the first correct explanation of eclipses, offered a rational hypothesis of planetary formation, discovered that the moon does not shine by its own light, and proposed the first theory of human and animal evolution.
He was born in Clazomenae, Greece, around 500 BC. He was friend and teacher to Pericles. He was put on trial for his life in Athens when he said that the sun was not a god, but rather a huge ball of fire. (Pericles saved him, sort of, by exiling him.)
