How did you get your username?

[Generic]

Hmm, couple of reasons:
1. I used to use different names on Chat rooms, etc. in the mid 90's, then when the Web got big, I kept finding the names I liked, being used. So, onetime I got fed up and put in "Generic" and it worked. Since then, I've continued to use it. Its not used often, and it works well. I'm pretty well know on a lot of car forums, so if you see a Generic, or here about one, its me.

2. Almost everyone I meet looks at me and says "You know I have a friend/uncle/brother/roommate, etc. that looks a lot like you" So I figure I must have pretty Generic features.

Every now and then the names used, so I have to put on my favorite # 42, or if thats used, I go to Gen4200, 420 is not for me.

Murdock

(PS I've been going by Murdock instead of Chris since grade school, too many Chris' in the world)

Part 1: (Misfit) Ok, I know why most of you think I chose Misfit. Though sometimes accurate not why I picked the name. I am a big-time Misfits fan, started listening to them in the early 80's. Not sure why all you guys think I'm such a misfit anyways.

Part 2: (6669) I used to use Misfit69 all the time but more and more people are out there using it so I can't get it all the time. Ok, I know why most of you think I chose 69. Though sometimes accurate not why I picked the name. I was born in 1969. With Misfit69 not being available sometimes, I wanted something a little more original so I could use same for a while. Small chance someone else would come up with Misfit1969 and I think it sounds kinda gay. So Misfit6669 is it.

Hey Murdock, it could be worse. At least they are not saying "You know, I have a girlfriend/aunt/sister/mother, etc. that looks a lot like you.

<----- Because she does.

I usually go by Newt (after a Great Pyranese that I used to have) on most other boards I post on, but that was already taken here at Reef Central.

 

[Jagermeister]

It's not because of the drink but my last name happens to be Jager. Everytime I meet someone new and introduce myself, they almost always say, "Hey, Jagermeister!" Especially when I was in college!

P.S. The drink's not bad either.

 

[Misfit6669]

Jager shots, bad, bad memories.

I obviously need a better imagination. I'm trying to remember what I was doing in 1969....Oh yeah, I'd rather not.

Brian-did you see the post for an Alaska reef club on the big board?

Clown fry are fish food.

Stormbringer-

Did you also know that Stormbringer was the name of the sword wielded by Elric of Melnibone, the hero of a series of books from the 80s? It was also the topic of the song 'Black Blade' by Blue Oyster Cult.

Thank Delvin

 

[Paul Pos]

I'm Paul Pos, as in POSitive - a good outlook to have in life (especially with reefing).

 

[murfman]

Murphys are the Smiths of Ireland. Just about every Murphy is called Murph or Murf for a nickname. I chose Murfman. It is also the usernames I use on Pirate4x4.com and Colorado4x4.org

 

[murfman]

btw, the rocky mountain xterra club requires its users to be first name last name, no nicknames.

 

[dsandfort]

So Murf..
Got any snow down there. I'm in desperate need of a golf course.

Comeon Stugray, cough it up. Is it Stuart Gray?

Lets see Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢m a Starwars nut, and Bossk was a bounty hunter in ESB that Vader hired to hunt down Han solo. The BH stands for bounty hunter I pick it years ago and have been using it ever since.

[artful-dodger]

Being named 'Dodge' led to the original Dickens reference of Artful Dodger back in Jr. High (oh, so many years ago)

When I went to register a domain name early in the internet age (now a decade ago!) I was beaten to artfuldodger.com by some antique store in New England. So, I went with artful-dodger.com as a compromise.

(The antique store is gone, but artful-dodger.com continues...while awaiting most of the development that I originally planned.)
