    Just curious! I've seen alot of 'unique' names on this forum and was just wondering how you arrived at it? One I'm particulary curious about is Major Attitude. I've probably read 99.9999% of his posts and have yet to see any form of 'attitude,' major or minor. Sorry MA, but you are at the top of my list!! There are many, many others too numerous to list, so do you want to share the origins of your forum name?

    I know their is an old old thread around here somewhere on similar, but not going to hand quickly, so here is mine again.

    As many think its due to the game, however as the game was not out at the time I picked that user name, it was born out of having a braindead day when thinking of a user name to use on the first forum I joined, at the time I was playing a NIN CD, was either Fixed or Broken, but was looking down the spine and noticed the cd catalogue number ref which was Halo 00x (cannot remember number without diging the cd out) dropped the number and went with Halo, matches my angelic nature ;)

    LOL, I think you just got a custom title, unless they changed the ranks, which I very much doubt. I think someone likes you.:-D Or I could be totally off the mark here and I'd better go crawl back into my nest.rolleyes

    Oh, to get back on topic, my RL nick is augie and I liked the cartoons when I was a kid. There ya go, nothing earth shattering here.

    Sgt. Tibbs Ultra Geek

    I used to have two cats, Felix and Sgt. Tibbs. My primary screen name is Felix4067 (cat's name + house number...never taken by anyone else), but for a while I was moderating another tech site and they were...finicky...about us being on other sites, so I used my other cat's name instead to join. I think this site and one other are the only ones I still use it, the rest have all gone by the wayside.
     
  9. Buck_nekid

    Buck_nekid Specialist

    I always get questioned about mine because people think it means something it doesn't. It comes from a job I had before, I was in the maintenance department in a small manufacturing plant. With it came lots of welding. One guy would always tell me, "Real mean weld buck nekid." whenever he would see me. After awhile everyone was saying it and it just stuck.
     
  10. wildwolf220

    wildwolf220 Oracle of Doom

    Same reason halo posted, couldn't think of a SN when i was signing up.
    Wildwolf because of a programme about wolves that was on the telly at the time, and 220 because i had won that amount on a football bet that day:p
     
  11. RexNoctis

    RexNoctis Corporal

    I'd just finished a good book! Rex Nocte means 'King of the Night' in Latin and I thought it was cool. I can't remember how I made RexNoctis out of that, probably a drunk misspelling! It does seem to be fairly unique though, I tend to use it as a username for most places and rarely get refused.

    I also managed to get my real name as a GMail account! :-D

  16. Mimsy

    Mimsy Superior Imperial Queen of the MG Games Forum


    ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

    “Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
    The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
    Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
    The frumious Bandersnatch!”

    He took his vorpal sword in hand:
    Long time the manxome foe he sought—
    So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
    And stood awhile in thought.

    And as in uffish thought he stood,
    The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
    Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
    And burbled as it came!

    One, two! One, two! And through and through
    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
    He left it dead, and with its head
    He went galumphing back.

    “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
    Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
    O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
    He chortled in his joy.

    ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

  18. teh_crunch

    teh_crunch Private E-2

    I was watching The Mighty Boosh and Nanageddon was on and it was the scene when they were talking about "The Crunch" and i found it hystericaly funny when he said "You know nothing of The Crunch!" I also used to be nifty on good old CSS and when it came to "The Crunch" there were none as much of a fluke as me :p
    The "Teh" came from being a fan of Pure Pwnage and my old gaming name Teh_Benze which is another story all together:-D

  24. Gensuknives

    Gensuknives Grand pooty-meister

    Mine was tagged on me by my wife. She used to kid me a lot about playing the video games in a clan online years ago. One day she was talking on the phone with a friend of hers who asked where I was. (At the time I was a leading-edge of the envelope Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgeon). She blurted out to her friend, "He's out in the back yard, sharpening his Gensuknives!"

    It has been my name ever since. I started calling her "SHEWHOMUSTBEOBEYED" and she loves it. Gives her a sense of power. As an old gynecologist, I can tell you, WOMEN love the power. heh heh heh

  40. joey off the street

    joey off the street Lounge Lizard No.1

    Mine comes from an old Boomtown Rats track, Joeys on the street again, a fabulous song. Supposedly a true story about a bit of a rebel type in Ireland named, surprisingly enough, Joey. Held in awe by the local kids, he eventually settled down, started a family and got a job. Often in trouble with the law, he would hit the street (hence the title). He obviously grew bored of this lifestyle and one day upped sticks, to where, no one knew. Then a rumour circulated that 'a crazy stranger had been found lying among the rocks'. Whether it was Joey or not is unclear. I just hoped that he got his life sorted and got off the street.

  46. BoredOutOfMyMind

    BoredOutOfMyMind Picabo, ICU

    When I started on MG, it insisted I have a "name" to join. Since my other "netname" I had placed in semi-retirement, I was having difficulty finding a suitable moniker. The alternative was I decided I was bored........

    Now for user titles..... Kodo bestowed mine for posting a bad (pun ending) joke.
