Emjaysmash

06-02-2010, 05:51 PM

Emjaysmash is a username that I've had since second grade. It was originally mjsmash, using "mj" my first and middle initial and also my nickname, and "Smash" the title of the first CD I ever bought- Smash by The Offspring.
mj has been lengthened to emjay because I eventually ran into a problem with someone already using "mjsmash" (not on this forum) and the change stuck.

whew.

Ashton Lady- an Ashton Clasic is the first cigar I smoked, and I am a lady.

BlackDog

06-02-2010, 05:58 PM

I'm BlackDog because when I first had to create a user name for eBay many years ago (I was on eBay early) I was stumped what to call myself, and happened to be drinking a Black Dog ale. Viola! A new internet user was born.

I lost the middle space somewhere along the line because I made a mistake registering on a bulletin board, but it wouldn't let me re-register with the same user name. So I dropped the space so I could re-register. Since then I've made all my registrations without the space.

14holestogie

06-02-2010, 07:13 PM

14holestogie began because I usually smoked churchills or larger on the golf course and that's how long they usually lasted.

Also happen to live on the 14th hole at my local course, but never made the connection until later. It's karma. :)

blugill

06-02-2010, 08:30 PM

Way back in 1995 when I got my first PC and internet service a friend was telling me about chat software called Pirch, he spelled it for me and everything.

I mistook the software name for his nickname in said chat software. So I took a similar fish, modified the name by taking out the "e" so my friend could find me in the chatroom.

It all made sense later on after I got my 28.8 modem hooked up and got the thing turned on but when he was explaining all of it, I was very confused.

The obvious name what has been one of my personal all time favorite smokes GOF Don Carlos blend.

Lately I have a couple new favorites. God of Fire seems to fit though for a cigar smoker who needs fire to make the magic begin. Afterall cigar aren't for chewing they are for smoking... :)

ucubed

06-02-2010, 10:27 PM

ucubed (pronounced u-cubed) last name, well sort of. In reality it's Wu and if you were to spell it you would say "double-u u"...you get 3 u's which is u^3 =)

jimmyk26

benedic08 = Benedic my first name and i just added the 08 because 8 is a lucky number for Chinese :D

fhrblig

06-03-2010, 12:06 AM

Mine is a reference to The Tick. In one of the comic books, the Tick is stalking another superhero (a parody of Superman) and trying to get him to be his sidekick. He gets a job with him at the 'Weekly World Planet' newspaper as the crossword puzzle editor, but is fired because the crossword puzzle he creates has only two words: 'fhrblig' and 'Pabst'.

"Yeah, but they cross!!"

SvilleKid

06-03-2010, 12:19 AM

My CB "handle" from way back in the early 1970's was "Cowboy Kid" When I first started on the WWW via AOL, CowboyKid was already taken. my town's name is often abbreviated as S'ville, so, I took SvilleKid, since my CB handle wasn't available.

mithrilG60

06-03-2010, 01:05 AM

mithril is from Lord of the Rings, G60 is the engine in the VW Corrado I used to own. Usually I just use mithril but when it's taken I append G60 to the end.

SkullnRose I started using this on aol way back in 94-95 when your screen name could only have 10 letters. It refers to my favorite band The Grateful Dead.

leasingthisspace

06-03-2010, 07:19 AM

I was looking for an email and username along time ago and at the time was reading about how nothing in life is really ours we just use it (kinda like leasing). So leasingthisspace was born.

kaisersozei

06-03-2010, 07:26 AM

Many years ago, I had to choose a user name for an on-line gaming clan. Keyser Soze was the "mystery" badass in the movie The Usual Suspects--no one really knew who he was. Kinda like me being on the internet. So I changed the spelling and voila. Just got lazy and used it for alot of my on-line accounts.

poker

06-03-2010, 07:32 AM

Mine was chosen because it was a game I really enjoyed and played quite often. That was back many years ago when I first joined ASC and ICG cigar message boards. I still play poker every weekend to this day.

Chainsaw13

06-03-2010, 07:35 AM

Nickname I acquired years ago when I was heavily into paintball. It was the sound my SMG-60 would make. Also came from a character in the movie Summer School. And it sounded mean. ;-)

13 is my lucky number. Was the my jersey number in baseball and hockey.

I got that a lot at first since the album came out about 6 months after I came up with the screen name. People started using it a lot so sometimes I had use issues1975.

I used to travel the country quite a bit. I was also quite surly, burly & bearded. The title amused me & it just stuck around.

06-03-2010, 08:25 AM

Icehog3 is the team he plays for.

Correct me if I'm wrong Tom.

Cool idea for a thread.

You are wrong, Andy. :r

I actually had the user name icehog3 on a hockey forum years before the Rockford Icehogs came into existance....but I did steal their logo, and Jeof personalized it for me.

ice = hockey (I play and am a huge fan)

hog = Harleys, and my job (cop)

3 = My hockey number

icehog3 :)

Brutus2600

06-03-2010, 08:36 AM

Well, when I was a stupid kid in high school (this is 10 or 11 years ago), my friend and I were trying to figure out what we wanted our hacker screen names to be, the idea was we were both going to choose a famous assassin from history, then add 2600 on the end (a quarterly magazine dedicated to hacking).

Well, our grand plans of "hacking the planet" (:r) never came to fruition, but the screen name stuck and I've used it ever since :p

tedrodgerscpa

That is a GREAT song!! :tu

My username started back in high school when I was big into breeding reptiles. Kenyan sand boas were the first snakes I was successful breeding...and breeding multiple morphs. I have yet run into the "Username is taken" message using it, so it stuck.

It would be a safe bet that if you see a KenyanSandBoa on any forum or online gaming network...it's me. :D

aich75013

06-03-2010, 11:33 AM

06-03-2010, 04:30 PM

06-03-2010, 09:52 PM

"Catfish" because I like to catfish. "2" because when I came over from the other site (which shall remain nameless), I wasn't here early enough to be the original one. I really wanted to work myself up to silver-back at the other site, but I never made it before I left.

Cyclone

06-03-2010, 10:24 PM

My Ex-Wife ( the 2nd one ) called me Cyclone because of what my office looked like when I got busy on any computer projects.

I've had a variety of nick-names when I was younger that I never cared for...

This is only Nickname that I've liked...

Unfortunately, Cyclone is frequently already taken on forums so I'll use Cyclone1963 ( my birth year ) in those cases.

06-03-2010, 10:29 PM

Akumushi is a portmanteau of the Japanese words for "evil" and "insect" and its origins lie in long and convoluted inside joke from the days of my high school Japanese class. As it is complete jibberish in a foreign language, I can always count on the username being available.

It's gonna happen. I count on it, brother. :)
In days past, people would just go ahead and butcher it and I'd correct them. Then, for a time, people would politely ask. Now it seems the trend is that folks try to trick me into saying it.
It's cute, really. :)

06-04-2010, 09:06 AM

My ex-fiancee had HI Q TEE on his license plate. So, to be funny I got mine. When our cars were parked in the garage my plate said IBQTEE1 on the left side and his with HI Q TEE on the right. If you looked it almost seemed like the cars were talking to each other. Yes, I was a dork and the story is boring. :r

But telling that story once got me out a speeding ticket. The cop was like just for that I am going to let you go. :tu

06-04-2010, 04:40 PM

He's not really a wolf despite his own personal conviction... plus "WannaBeSledDogandWhisky" just didn't flow as well.

It's actually a derivation of "orangedogofglory" which turned into "orangedog" and now this. If you see orange dog or similar on another forum, odds are it is me - except on twitter, someone else took it.

06-04-2010, 04:58 PM

Great idea for a thread! Mine is kind of a long and boring story of my middle school days, so I will spare you and tell you the essentials. We came up with nicknames for ourselves(yep, that is how cool I was :D ) and I passed a U-Turn sign and decided to throw the first two letters of my name in front of it making it 'druturn'. I have used it ever since!

M1903A1

06-04-2010, 05:47 PM

< boring >

M1903 = the 1903 Springfield rifle, an American classic (even if it is just a plagiarized Mauser design) and our standard arm of 1-1/2 wars--along with plenty of little "brushfire wars" of the teens and 1920s and a sniping role in Korea and early Vietnam.

The A1 variant took the standard 1903 rifle's straight stock and replaced it with a "curved" pistol-grip stock, more like what you'd find on a hunting rifle. It was standardized in 1928, but because the Army had a ton of replacement stocks from WW1 to use up first in what little production there was in the interwar years, it wasn't until about 1940-41 that the M1903A1 variant was in serious production. Because they were made so briefly (and at the outset of a war in which most of them were used up), they are quite rare today.

< /boring >

At the time I signed onto the old CS, I was looking hard for a prewar M1903A1...and, well, I couldn't think of anything more original. Plus, it makes no sense to anybody who isn't a serious gun collector or WW2 buff, so I figured it would stand out.

VirtualSmitty

The real VirtualSmitty was a boss of mine years ago. Dr. Smith was an old plastic surgeon who was actually pretty adept with computers, the engineer of our building used joke about how much time he spent online, after awhile his nickname in the building became virtualsmitty as more people caught wind of what he was actually doing. He was a really good person, was very good to me the years I knew him, after he died I just kinda started using it. Just one of those things I guess, I used to only lurk at CS, then one day Paul went and hid some of the forums and I had to register and the first thing that popped into my head was that.

Mine comes from a guitar tuning, Dropped D Tuning. In order to get a dropped d tuning you have to drop the low e to a low d.

It is a really cool tuning and has alot of balls and chunk to it.

Hence:
DropTheE!!

On a funnier note, on another board I was asked if I liked to take alot of ecstasy and so I liked to drop the e!! :r
To be honest I never thought of it that way, I like my origin better, it's much more healthy.

To be honest, that's the first thing I thought of (ecstacy) when I saw your name, but I think I dig the real reason better. I have an acoustic guitar and two electric bass guitars, none of which I know how to play! :r

Volusianator

06-16-2010, 10:58 AM

In 2003, I bought a Suzuki Volusia motorcycle. A few days later I was searching the net for "Volusia" and came across a web forum for the bike, being that I'd never been on a forum before at that time, I learned that to join, I needed a screen name. Well, the night before, I watched The Terminator on TV, so, basically just combined the two and came up with "The Volusianator." The last couple years I dropped "The" and just used "Volusianator" as I got lazy.

Powers is my last name

Ahhh, I always thought it was like you power-smoked all your cigars.
I can smoke that double corona in twenty minutes, lol.

I hate threads like this, cause mostly people should keep their personal
info to themselves when they are actively breaking the law. But if Tom
can do it, what the hell. There used to be a place called the Ceegar Afishionado
forums, and everybody there was a jag-off, troll-hunting, pack-mentality, low-rent
F*%K. Well, almost everybody. I lost my old handle in a software change, and
when I came back, everybody thought I was somebody else, someone they had
already black-balled out of town. But it wasn't me. So they all started screaming
and jumping up and down on their branches and throwing feces, and I thought,
sheesh, screw this place. Then I went to a forum called Club Stogie, where they
wre supposed to be normal and accepting. My chosen Club Stogie handle was
One Lonely Smoker, cause I was the only one it seemed who thought something
was bad wrong at CA, and I left rather than continue beating my head against the wall.
They accepted me pretty fast at CS, and no one wanted to typy out my handle
when they mentioned my name, they just typed OLS. So I figured when this place
got started, might as well start that way and save folks the trouble.

My friends in college at one point claimed I look like Will Ferrell. I don't see it. In any event, we were watching Old School and Luke Wilson's character said "easy, big cat" to Frank the Tank. It was immediately applied to me. Some of them will still meow at me when I answer the phone.

One member of the TOE has responded. It won't die yet.

Perhaps it could become a sticky if enough of the originals respond and it would be a great place for new members to give their explanation for their user names as well.

Way back when, I started playing Quake 2 and Quakeworld online. I used the name Superbad after the James Brown song. It just stuck with me. People now think it is from the movie, but it predates it by at least 15 years.

Like MCS with "silly", I am all atwitter that you have used the word "paradigm" subsequent to quoting me. I think that must be what they mean when they say "poetic justice". Or maybe not.

The Lasers play year round, Andy, there is a Fall league from September through March, and a Summer league that goes April to August...I also play for a team called the Five Holers, and am on the roster for a team called Ice Pack, though I only play when they have manpower needs.
