Your username/nick

Long time ago I needed a nick and due to not wanting to rip it from somewhere, I began constructing one instead.

First of I wanted it to be a little special, so I picked the letter Z as a start as it's rarely used in danish. Next of a needed a vowel and the first one was "a", so I just took it.

Next up the third letter, where I for some random reason picked "c" as it's also the third letter in my real name. After the c it sounded logical with a k, as "ck" is quite common in english.

The last "er" was mainly just some sort of typical ending of a word describing something or someone.

Haven't heard of many others who got their nicks this way:D

Well first I selected the letter S, then I thought K would be neat add. Then I realised that I need 2 more letters with them, so I selected D and R.

'Skidder' is how I always pronounce it in my mind.

Now, for my name, right, I had a poo, right, and it was shaped like a bottle of Tequila, right, so I thought, right, there's the internet, right, and people use names, right, so why not, right, use that, right, as my name? Right?

No, I just love Hard Boiled.

st0lve is miss-spelled støvel, which is a boot.

I first heard mine in the Tool song "Third Eye". It's from an audio clip of the comedian Bill Hicks doing a joke about tripping on acid.

I got tired of using the name "duffy" in counterstrike and wanted to spice it up a bit. Looked at the periodic table of elements....chose actinium...changed the a to an o and behold octinium. I still use that name in game to this day...even though almost none of you know me by it cause I was always on IRC as duffy.

the anti-cheat I wrote was also called octinium....google it bishes..like a hot 20 pages of an original word I created. Makes you feel special

Lurker, because I lurk.

I had terrible back pain from sitting to long in front of the screen when I chose my nick...

Sk3tch = sketch. I draw stuff. :roll:

Once back in my CS day I had the need for a martial arts furry critter so I started shifting around between: KungFuSquirrel, JudoMeerkat, KarateKangaroo, TaeKwonDoKitty, and the likes. It was all for the sake of being ridiculous, but KungFuSquirrel had a nice ring to it.

Also may have been slightly instrumental in eventually leading me down the path that got me a job - Ken has rather spitefully declared that if I had shown up in the NS community as "KarateKangaroo" he probably would have never spoken to me, thus no friendship, and no referral up here

Prior to that I'd played as Gimper and then TacticalMoron (easily read as "TacticalMormon"). I also played Quake1 under the odd name of "Flitter." I don't know how I came up with that, but it's probably best I never repeated that process. Ew.

my name is rick, i have a

small brain

its my real name, as many of you know...

Got tired of using silly nicks when nothing I ever could invent would be as unique as my real name

The first time I was playing a game online (Interstate 76), it asked me for a nickname. I didn't have one. I was listening to the radio and a local DJ was named Fletch.

The last name of a character from a fictional work I wrote...

...Amazing how that came about. Life is so random.
