Mine is the nickname my parents gave me that stuck.
Here I thought we had yet another user named after a classic Katherine Hepburn character.
I loved her delivery of this line:
Now I need to add this to my Netflix Queue, I have not seen it for too long a time.
Jim
After quickly changing from my real name when I first entered bulletin boards and newsgroups I orginally went by Detox due to being a perpetual drunk among other things in university and thus constantly told I belonged in Detox.
As I matured (ever so slightly) I found it a bit insulting to those who really do need Detox and instead chose a lesser known song name from my favourite band (Depeche Mode) that appears to work as a username. It or slight variations are what I use everywhere. For DM related sites there’s an abundance floating around otherwise I tend to be the only one.
Mine’s a nonsense word from an obscure 40 year old hippie song.
I borrowed the name of my cat Trouble (RIP) when I first started internettin’. When I got to Snopes, Trouble was taken. So I went with TroubleAgain. That’s who I am everywhere I go. But every TroubleAgain out there is not me, so be warned. 
Now that’s weird. I’m a huge DM fan (you should see my iPod library’s DM section) and I’ve seen your nick around here many times but I never actually made the connection. This may be because it’s very early DM that I tend to listen to a little less often than their later stuff.
I was too lazy to think of a clever user name so I went to the book shelf and picked a book out at random. The Man Who Never Missed by Steve Perry provided my username.
I really wish it were something cool like an acronym for Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW).
I just like beer. :rolleyes:
Mine come from one of my favorite model rockets among other things. 
When I switched from Elenia28, my handle since forever, I wanted something I came up with. It didn’t have to be original or creative, just something that I picked myself.
Anaamika means “The Girl with No Name” or more literally “Nameless Girl” so I thought it was appropriate for a message board.
They’re synonyms for my usual username (my other option was “Ghost Line”, which in retrospect isn’t that bad). When I signed up for here, some oddity in the accounts system seems to have trouble with names with “ed” in, although at the time all I knew was it wouldn’t accept it. This is the only place I use Revenant Threshold.
My original username is not from mythology, but from computer programming. I saw a friend doing some work, and it was the name of a variable…I think. Google searches for it only turn up results from me, programming, or German, so if you see a shadeedge about, it’s probably me.
Unless they’re not being funny. In which case it’s the German. 
Mine is a somewhat modified Monty Python reference.
I was rowing in a race in Exeter a few years ago, when a chicken landed on me. I didn’t even know chickens could fly, but I guess it must have, then got tired half way across the river and decided to have a rest on me. Anyway I didn’t know what it was, just freaked out and batted it away, unfortunately it fell into the river underneath my oar, which was moving quite fast at the time, hit it and died.
My friends never let me forget how I stood up to the vicious chicken of Exeter. My nickname was Robin for a while (similar to real name), but I decided to side with the chicken this time.
Yep, very early DM, B-side to their first single Dreaming of Me and included on the first album Speak and Spell. I’m more of a pre-Violator fan but do pretty much enjoy all their stuff and collect pretty much all I can.
That is an awesome story!
I like everything up to an including Ultra, after that it gets a bit un-DM-like, with a few exceptions. One other reason I think I failed to connect the two is because I recently heard an Ice Machine remix (which was included with a Dreaming of Me remix) done by a fan – home-made CD covers and everything – and it reminded me why I don’t like fan remixes. They almost always suck. This one was worse than most though. Cheap $10 sample CD drum loops laid over top of the original song and equalized such that the original song was barely audible, ostensibly in an attempt to avoid having the original drums interfere with the overlaid loops. Terrible, terrible stuff. I had to deliberately suppress knowledge of its existence just to get it out of my ears.
Now your username brings back painful memories. Thanks.
Sweetie, you’ve got some South Parkin’ to do.
oh yeah, pussy?
yeah, pussy!
who’s a pussy?
you’re a pussy, pussy!
hey! that gnome just called me a pussy!
sorry…that’s just interplay between Cartman and one of the gnomes
The ads for Veuve Clicquot champagne were ubiquitous on WQXR from NYC here last year. It just stuck with me.

I use the last name Anne (it was originally the last half of my middle name) and my B-day is December 25th. I was a huge fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music long before he wrote Whistle Down the Wind, which contains the song “Annie Christmas.”
I love the banjo (stop laughing). Gibson makes various models which have a fiddle-shaped peghead, which happens to be my favorite style. Hence my username.
