What does your Nick Name mean?

[MrGibbage]

If you have a nick name that may leave people scratching their heads, explain it here. I'll start:

When I was working on my masters degree, I played A LOT of video games (it was part of my thesis--seriously!) Anyway, I play a lot of first person shooter games, and if you don't know, why you blow someone in those games, they often have body parts and whatnot thrown about. Those are called "gibbage" or sometimes just "gibs". Hence, my nickname, MrGibbage. Now, I won't tell you if I was the guy shooting and creating the gibbage, or if my body parts were creating the mess on the floor.

[WazzuKirk]

Well, Wazzu is the short term for where I went to college (Washington State University) and Kirk, well, that's my first name. Not too ingenious but easy to remember! :-)

[Jorsher]

Mine isn't that interesting. It started a long time ago in a galaxy far away. When I was in elementary school my bus driver wasn't too good with pronouncing english and called me "jorsher" instead of "Joshua." Example: "roll up the wind-er (window) jorsher (Joshua).

It stuck and it's a unique name online for the most part, so I've stuck with it.

[RussianSolja]

Well RussianSolja.... for one im 101% full blooded vodka drinking russian and the Solja part is my Grandfather was a very popular russian sniper soldier in world war 2 so i kinda put the two togeather and got RussianSolja lol

[snoslicer8]

Snoslicer8:

My original e-mail address that I had outside of Prodigy (remember that way back when e-mail cost $.25 to send???) was snowslicer@juno. Snowslicer was meant to be a creative way of saying I'm a skier.

When I signed up for AIM, snowslicer was taken. I took out the w in snow, and added my high school Lacrosse number to the end, making snoslicer8. It's been that way for the 10 years since.

[Skatturbrain]

Im just a scatterbrain and forget sometimes...

[NetCom]

Nicknames I use do differ from each other - the reasoning is simple: it depends how much of anonymity I need.

Nicknames I use a lot are here:
googler
netcom
htc_dreamer

Here is the story about all three:
1. googler - I have spent a lots of time on Google since they came out public. I started to use it more and more and more until I acquired very good skills of searching using Google. We all know that eBay moto: "whatever it is, you can get it on eBay!" --- well, googler moto became this: "Whatever it is, you can find it on Google!!!". Forming great search/re-search skills through the Google, I was able to develop very good timing in finding something what I need. Moderate user of Google? Well, GOOGLER

2. netcom - it came from thinking about my anonymity on the net when it comes to different places like chat-rooms, multiple online news comments participation, etc. Thinking what is the most common thing that everyone repeat all the time - well any page you go to - most of the times ends with NET and COM - that's how I became NETCOM

3. htc_dreamer - T-Mobile G1 (press called HTC Dream) was an answer on my prayers having every option I want, I need and I prayed for - and even more on the top of everything ... so, no brainer I became htc_dreamer

Explanation was bit long...

[tread]

well mine can be fairly obvious... tread on your tries, tread on your shoes... you wear it down, but its what keeps your footing solid and your car on the road... one of those things that you rarely give enough credit, that sort of thing

[McParty]

Well I have had McParty since high school. My last name is McPartland, I was kind of like Blutarski for Animal house, I liked to party (and still do), hence McParty! LOL It's also the name I have used in all my Call of duty, Unreal tournament, Half Life, Quake and any other FPS game I've played! LOL
