For Fun - Care to share how you chose your user name?

[Windingroads06]

Way back in the 1990s when we were trying to figure out what this whole World Wide Web would do I was on the AOL message boards, spending way too much time. When I needed a screen name I said to myself, “crap, what I need is a life and to stop wasting my time.” Little did I know how computers would suck up…everything. So I still, and maybe more than ever, Need A Life!

You are not the only one! Though back in the day you had to dial up and then wait for messages to go and come back. Now it's too easy to get lost!

A random English word that if you were to Google you'd find millions of references which are not related in any way to me.

Exactly right!

 

[janedoe]

Prefer incognito, especially when lurking. Just plain Jane

 

[Momof5]

Well I'm hoping I don't have to explain too much . I gave my brain cells to them so I had to think of something easy,lol

 

[chmuse]

MOMO F5.... You're clearly into rockets. I'm not sure why you'd choose one that failed to launch, though.

None of your business!

I had to come up with a fake email to complain to my landlord. I have since found it useful to complain to anybody about anything.

I saw your username and decided against using my first alt- NonyaBeeswax. Didn’t want to be a copycat!

I’ve been into gardening for years and when I was moving, I was pulling out plants I was taking with me and adding plants from the Lowe’s markdown section. You could still see dirt so I scattered packets of allysum (sp?) and when I came back a few weeks later, I was weeding and adding plants and EVERYTHING was blooming with ALL THE COLORS AND SHAPES. My mom stopped by and we were standing outside. She told me it was time to stop adding plants because it was looking like the flower fairy threw up all over the beds. I miss my mom.

I am here because I feel like a potato. And all thoughts ultimately run on electricity.

 

[Calm Logic]

I am not particularly calm or logical. But I have fun trying, haha.

I could have used "nondescript," or "anonymous," or "nonsense." Instead I came up with a nonsense combination of letters and numbers. I truly want to remain anonymous, with nothing to identify me. Just call me "M."

Let’s not forget School House Rock, or whatever it was called…….”Conjunction junction, what’s your function? Hookin’ up phrases and clauses and …..”. I cant remember the last thing. lol.

I love that one! Also "I'm just a Bill, Down on Capital Hill..."

Username is a song from the Scorpions.

What part of the state? O-H…

Also in central Ohio here, although the late and never-ending spring has me running off to SW FL at every opportunity…. Thus…. Sun_Seeker.

i ate too many raw oysters and got a kidney stone. I had joined redditt to discuss kidney stones and decided on that as a user name and just kept using it.

Wait! You can eat too many oysters?

 

[fakeusername]

I didn't wanna use a real username

You got it. My primary hobby for many years was caving and I worked on many bat studies. My home wifi name is associated with the book too. Its a great book.
