where did you get your nickname / username ??

[j0be]

It's the better half of a handle I created years ago during one of my morbid phases in youth.

I sense a story in the other half... do tell.

mic check 132

Do you know why sound guys only count to two when doing a mic check?

Because you lift on "3."

[j0be]

Also, if you want to piss off any sound engineers. Tap or blow into the mic. AAaarrgh.

[Zombiehead]

There's no story.

I spent some time assimilating myself into the "goth" scene during my young, angry-hate-the-world-because-it-makes-me-cooler teenage years. Internet chatting was still fresh at the time and I wanted all my usernames to reflected my morbid sense of humor. Ravens are black. Zombieheads are grotesque... and then I grew out of it. The end.

[Hellbringer]

My username is from my old days of playing XBAND, which was online playing for the SNES and Sega Genesis... long before Xbox Live, PSN, and Steam. I chose Hellbringer back then because at the time, I was into Battletech and one of the mechs they used was called a Hellbringer. Loved the name, and adopted it for my radio callsign when I'd go to the field as well.
What's funny, for me anyways, is that when I joined XBox Live, I started playing MechAssault on it, and seeing as how it was a Battletech derived video game, whenever I'd log on, everyone would go "oh no, it's the HELLBRINGER! I WONDER what mech he's going to choose?" or "Hey Hellbringer, are you going to Bring the Hell?" Yeah, geeky and all, but I still chuckle about it.

[yarri]

Yarri is slang for my own name. Which is Sarah
Its also a big giant tree in Australia

[Teethingbiscuit]

A window into ourselves opens.
I am father of 2 and they are through their teething stage. Damn those cookies make a mess.
Teethingbiscuit

I'll also sign off with teethingtabs. That one is for the same time period. It took on a placebo effect with my oldest, she would take one for whatever ailed her. They are homeopathic and all natural
Yeah, got online during those years and needed something that wasn't being used like a name, or initials and numbers, that are as easy to forget as where I left those keys, or my work shoes!?
Teeth.
P.S. I also have a nice smile. Or so I've heard.

[cycogod]

How did you pick your nickname or username? Had it forever or just thought it up. Ever look at a screen name and wonder what the person/entity is?

Oops..Back in the day, I was very good at Quake 3 Arena on pc. The server I played on the most, I was ranked very high. After games in the terminal a lot of the players were calling me psycho, then it became cyco. Then some were inputting god, as in god mode. So it just became cycogod. I was so hooked on that game....

[cPT.cAPSLOCK]

My first real online experiences were Call of Duty-related, so I directly looked at military ranks. As a 10-year-old, I used to be "Lt.Errible". Later on, I decided it became kinda lame, so I decided to look for something new.
Then I accidentally hit the capslock key while typing the rank of 'captain' in totally unrelated context, and it gave me the idea for this one.

[timberwoof]

Well when I got my first truck at 18 a bunch of my buddies had CB radios so I decided to get one so I could keep up with them around town. This was when cell phones were just becoming popular with the nokia 5100 series. Well I liked wolves and one of my favorites was the timber wolf or grey wolf as it's normally called. One of my buddies use to call me woofy on the radio so I started incorporating it. Thus timberwoof.
