I figured making a thread like this would come with some more interesting results than another recent thread going around.

Mine is self explanitory.

Once upon a time, I was a wee lad of 13 or so. I hadn't a creative bone in me body, and couldn't summon up an interesting name. Time has since passed, and I'm stuck with a horrible decision I've made; Oh, what I would give to take it back! You see, I'm a Georgian, and I was a fanatic of the Bulldogs. Therefore, I concluded that it would be fitting, and fitting it was. But interesting? Thought provoking? My heavens, not at all! I'm hesitant to take away all of my contributions and history in place of a better name, so I just ask that if you refer to me, call me Luke. Or UGA, which isn't as bad.

And that's the way the cookie crumbles!

I actually stole it on the Battleon forums (OOC), back in.. what.. 2004? When I was a kid.

Eventually i forgot all about where it originally came from, and i just stuck to it.. lol..

Actually I'm still not entirely sure. I may have taken the ShadowJax part and added the 04 myself..

Oh, and even earlier, when i was really young, I used 'Ace the Cold' as a username. :lol:

Not that i'm specifically old now. 17 in a month. That made me.. What, 12 in 2004?

I liked Metroid Prime a lot at the time, I liked it so much I hoped there would be a fifty-fith game in the franchise, thats pretty self explanitory if you ask me.

[size=11]To make a long story short - I just came up with a crappy no-thought username because I didn't think I'd become active on the site at all. I just wanted to get some cheat codes or something. So now I'm stuck with this gem of a username! :|[/size]

My AIM and AOL account was whoopassmt which I made when I first got my computer for Christmas 2003, My first AIM/AOL name was Gollum toi (I wanted Gollum toilet but my mom wouldn't let me use that one) then I heard one of the noises you could choose for when you send IM's and it was a thing by Ludacris (what a ludicrous name) that goes "a couple of cans of whoopass" which reminded me of my favorite Wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin who would talk about cans of whoopass, so I set up another AIM/AOL name as whoopassmt (mt are my initials). When I joined gamespot in 2007 (around february I think) I tried to set up my name as whoopassmt since it was my AOL name (in November of 2007 I eventually switched from AOL to AT&T) but gamespot wouldn't let me, I think it said the name was already in use, so I just changed it to whipassmt.

I like Rubik's cubes. That's about it. I regret writing 't3h' instead of 'the,' however, but I guess when I was 16 I still thought that was cool.

Well I've always used the word "Zook" for pretty much all of my usernames (didn't realize there was a Hagar the Horrible character with that name until just a few months ago), and I just added the "Guy" to make it look cooler, I guess.

A love of users have the extension _basic, I noticed... My username was simply a username I wanted to stick with after making a RuneScape account.

A few sites I go by "LunarWingCloud" now though.

Generally my user name is just Ehsan on other websites. When I was registering, Ehsan wasn't available, so I put ehsan [combination of number] and it didn't work after numerous tries. Frustrated I just put 8888 and was like, "You know what? I don't care anymore" So I stuck with ehsan8888, despite not really liking the username. :P
