Re: OS Username Meaning II

Goes back a few years. Was at a bachelor party. Some guy thought my fantasy baseball team name in this league we were all in was called Kibbles & Bits, which it wasn't. It was actually Snacky Cakes because according to Cartman they, "Kick ***." Anyway, people thought that was hilarious especially since it bugged the hell out of me. Combine that with the "Real Slim Shady" song by Eminem which was out at the time, and me being slim, SlimKibbles is a pretty darn unique identifier.

Alright, OS History 101: The history of members and the meaning behind their usernames.

Anyways, one of my favorite bands is RATM and when I originally signed up here I was bugged by how people were acting at my school, especially the ones that knew me for a couple of years (you know, people who talk behind your back spreading those rumors around like the internets). Anyways, simple enough I decided to try to come up something similar to RATM and came up with Rag3vsW0rld. I have been called Rag, Rag3, and Rags (the shortened nickname doesn't bother me anymore, yes I am ashamed I used to make a big deal about that). I've been thinking about changing it for a while however.

By the way, the 3 and the 0 really have no meaning, except I was kind of caught up in all that ghetto numbers replacing letters stuff.

You can also be a little more liberal with my username and say that 3 Rags are against the World. Gotta dust everyone's furniture ya know!

Re: OS Username Meaning II

Guybrush Threepwood is the name of the main character in a video game series I loved when I was younger, Monkey Island. I always thought he ruled, so I chose that name and shortened it to GBrushTWood.

Here's how the actual Guybrush Threepwood was named for the game (from Wikipedia):

The origin of the name "Guybrush" comes from Deluxe Paint, the tool used by the artists to create the character sprite. Since the character had no name at this point, the file was simply called 'Guy'. When the file was saved, Deluxe Paint automatically appended the extension '.brush'; before the designers could think of a proper name they got used to referring to 'Guy.brush' when talking about the sprite and decided to use it as the protagonist's actual name[1]. "Threepwood" was the name of Dave Grossman's RPG character and was picked through voting. The name comes from P. G. Wodehouse's family of characters including Galahad Threepwood and Clarence Threepwood, 9th Earl of Emsworth.

[The GIGGAS]

Re: OS Username Meaning II

I used to be giggas2, which is only because I had KlobbBond on AOL (guh)... then when I changed it, I had a friend called GIGGAS... so I put a 2 on mine and made it original. However, when I realized there's like 0 chance he'd ever get on this board, I changed it to The GIGGAS... *shrug* Felt like doing something self-serving when I donated.

[Husker_OS]

Re: OS Username Meaning II

My nickname since middle school has been Husker because of my obession with the Nebraska Cornhuskers since I was about 5(I was even going to go to UNL until I decided against Journalism). Even my car tag in high school for 2 years was "Husker". And my Astronomy teacher(who was also my Physics teacher) called me Husker. And now in college, its still Husker...
