Screen names?
A comedy conversation

I have been wondering how, a lot of you picked your screen name. Mine is pretty easy, but I will explain it anyway.
When I was 17 or so, I wanted to be a stunt car driver. I would spend hours after school practicing in my moms 76 Buick tuna boat. Getting it up to about 80 or 90 MPH then locking it up and throwing it sideways and sliding, burning most of the rubber of moms new tires(she would always wonder why she kept needing to replace the tires).
After a while I started doing some crazy stuff with my friends in the car. Anybody ever watch the Rockford Files? I could drive in reverse and whip the car around putting it in drive and keep going forward (A Rockford). One particular time I did this with my friend Steve in the car. He said, "Damn Bill you sure get Squirrely in this car". My friends called me Squirrely for years after that.Or at least that's why they told me they were calling me that. Or, it might be for one of these reasons.
I shortened it to Squirrel after that. How did you get yours?

Mine came from the name of a band that my now-husband and my friends were in. I used the first letter and added "Chiki" to it.
Boooooooooooooooring.

As far as my screen name, I'm actually Wino Willie, Junior. It's a tribute to my late stepfather.

Mine's a family nickname, because my brother couldn't pronounce my real name when he was a baby. He called me "Ditdah" and it stuck.
Lots of people think it's because I'm into Morse Code. I'm sorry, but that's even too dorky for me.

05/06/2009 10:42 AM
Mine is two fold. When I was living in an apartment while in the Navy, I had a computer room that gradually grew into sort of a mad scientist lab. I must of had half a dozen monitors and twice as many computers running a bunch of monitoring apps. I was big into blue boxing back then. My ex wife used to call it my man cave and her friends would call it a man hole.
There was a DJ that went by the name Manhole in the Hampton Roads area. He wasn't very funny, But he played really good music!

Mine originally came from the fact that chickens, believe it or not, don't have nipples.
That was before realizing that my entry into the community fell into the same time of hiatus for another chicken themed member which caused confusion in some, and accusations of impersonation from others. It's bad enough being a noob, but being an unsuspecting name stealing noob is even worse. I still cry at night when I think of the horrible things that have been said to me.
Now it's just a Rocko's Modern Life reference.

MungChamp 35,891 35
05/06/2009 03:28 PM
I remember first hearing the term "Mung" my Freshman year of college. We were sitting around playing the "what would you rather do game" when a friend asked, "Would you rather suck on your grandmothers tampon or eat a heaping bowl of Mung?". I answered that I would love some delicious Mung, to my friends horror, but quickly back peddled after they described it to me.
I quickly fell in love with the term and realized it was the penultimate of all things that were awful. I started using it for online gaming and fantasy football and enjoyed "Munging" my opponents and letting them know they had been "Munged". After my third league championship, the term "champ" was added by my friends and it hasn't been removed since (I still kick so much ass).
I secretly enjoy when other people retype Mung and become desensitized to the horrific term and equate it with a me rather than the necrophiliac lubrication.

Cruz : Breast Enthusiast 9,993 12
05/06/2009 03:53 PM
As I spend at least four and sometimes as many as eight nights a week drinking I thought "Cruising for a Boozing" would be a pretty witty moniker.
The problem with it was that there wasn't really a shorter version you could use colloquially unlike Gab legends Undies, Spicey, TTJ et al so I changed it to Crusing f.a.b. in the hope that the "fab" part would catch on.
The problem was that someone else had already had this idea (fabs) and as a result I was pillioried by regulars on the board for confusing them, So I changed it again to Cruz since it was still quite close to the original and the same as one of David Beckhams kids and so far its working out quite nicely.
Now if I could only get to put my Willy Wonka in Chances choclate factory life would be complete

Butt Face Chicken McNugget 129 5
05/06/2009 09:36 PM
Anyhoo, back to ol' Butt Face McNuggets, about two days after playing, I went to log in to Spore and found that my online access had been suspended. This suspension was accompanied by a form email explaining that I had offended Electronic Art's tender EULA with the "lewd content" I had created. The email sited poor ol' Butt Face Chicken McNugget (amazingly, the super un-PC Tardicorn managed to fly under thier radar). I was given a two day suspension, and a warning to remove the content or further action would be taken.
Shocked that something as innocent as a McNugget with a butt for a face could actually find a way to offend, I emailed EA customer service. I sited the fact that since playing the game, and allowing other users content to roam freely in my game, I had been regularly assulted by walking penises and an astounding abundance of Hitler spores.
EA's first response was to explain that any content that depicts nudity was not welcome. I responded by asking them if they know where on a Chicken McNugget I might find it's glute. They sent another form email with the EULA copied and pasted.
So, two days ended, and I did comply and remove the offending fast food product. However, I wasn't quite satisfied with my first ever ban. Having never really liked the pukes at EA, I felt it was my duty to now "speed test" thier EULA-offense-detection-system.
On day one back in, I created and shared this:

I call it "Two Spores One Cup". I also posted it's evolved version:

I was banned in 6 hours. AWESOME!
(to be concluded....)

Unfortunately, they raised the stakes and threatened my Warhammer Online account. My inner dork got scared, and I backed off.
So, the name is an homage to the lil' fellah that started my breif EA conflict. I love him and cherish him greatly. On a previously mentioned side note; the Tardicorn and his Short Bus enclave have spread accross the Spore universe unchecked to this day.
Lesson learned: EA is fine with content clowning on retards, penises and the Hollocaust, but don't you DARE show a McNugget's Butt!!!

Now that I think about it, I can vaguely remember how I chose my first name. I had done a drawing of a squirrel with a sombrero & taco. I name most of my artwork, so I named him "Ravos, the Taco Squirrel", and that was my original name here. But then, Taco got pissed for stealing her name, like most would, so I changed it to something else, but kept the Ravos.

What a shame. If you had kept it, then even rank noobz would know how much of a furry taco you are without having to read your posts.
Granted, Bill might have objected to you accidentally outing him by sheer name association, but we all would have known it not to be true because of his aforementioned fondness HATRED of wine coolers.
