How did you get your username? I went with XtRaterrestrial cos people always tell me im soo anti-commercialism and since i listen to Industrial music and other ill shit, my friends think im a freaking alien and cos im not down with the so called hip stuff and not up to date on ghetto slang crap.
I dont want to be the one wearing Hollister and listening to Blink 182 that is soo played out.
My original AOL screen name in 1994 was C Hunter Mc because it was the only variation on my name that wasn’t already taken or didn’t have a bunch of random numbers. When I got my first real internet account a few months later, I shortened it to huntermc because it was limited to 8 letters. And I’ve been using it ever since!
I’ve had this Name for over 10 years now. Born Comlpetely out of the Internets.
I’m usually pissed about something, so, grmpy
and the things I’m usually pissed over are so freaking miniscule that they are of smurf-like proportions.
grmpysmrf.
My “sincerely(Late)” portion comes from a buddy of mine who was leaving a message on my other buddies Answering machine and he was trying to sound “pretentious and laid back” (at the same time) so instead of saying “Later” he said “LLLate!” and it was hysterical as shit as only my friend knows how to be so it stuck!
Late,

I joined this forum not too long after I met my first legitimate girlfriend (good things do come in pairs, no doubt). At the time, I was in a pretty fucked-up place mentally. Drugs, a lot of unresolved issues and a veritable army of skeletons in my closet had basically been running my life up until about that time. Not to sound totally emo, but I truly thought that I’d never get past my neuroses and love anyone, much less attract anyone with the tiniest portion of a soul.
Then I met her.
She was literally the one who made me realize that true, my life was indeed fucked up… but that I had the power to get off my ass and do something about it.
However, not a few days after “getting together,” a lot of tragedies happened in rapid fucking succession. Seeing as the people I was living with (not my family, mind you… I was kinda at odds with them at the time) were, and still are, soulless, ignorant, ass-backwards idiots, she was basically the only one I could REALLY open up to (it wasn’t till a few months later that I began psychotherapy).
During a lengthy conversation about the things that were mentally crippling me, I said something to the effect that when I did snap, that I’d go on live TV and start murdering people with a couple of icepicks, ending with myself, because Goddamn it, that’s what the world, and I, deserved. To which Stephy responded that I was better than what people (i.e. my mother) said I was, that I was actually a very good guy (albeit a tad fucked up), and that she was convinced I’d save the world one day.
From that day forward, everytime I’d question what the hell I was going to do with myself, she’d always tell me “Stay away from icepicks!”
Not too long afterwards, I decided to join the Prongs forum. Icepick_Messiah was basically a reference to the precariously shifting polarities in my head: the desire to go on a killing spree, and the newfound realization that I could make a difference in not only my own life, but someone else’s.
Pointless Trivia: It was around that time that I re-discovered one of my favorite records of all time, and actually listened to the words, not the music… and it perfectly described exactly how I was feeling.
That record, ladies and gents, was none other than “Dark Side of the Spoon.” [cool]
I used to work for Nortel and the account I was looking after was MCI/Worldcom. I needed a password for something so i semi-leetspeaked it to: emseaeye.
The name was born from there.
ps: no, it was not me who ran MCI into the ground. [:P]
used to go by the name “tortured soul” on the older forum here, which was my “wrestling” name in the backyard wrestling I was in as a kid (a rip off of Edge when he first came to WWF)
I then realized that I may not have the best life, but I’m not so tortured either. I was getting into Meat Beat Manifesto at the time, and one of my favorite songs was "Soul Driver’ . Thought it was a cool name, and it had the word soul in it, so I guess I “transformed” to a Soul Driver, whatever the hell that is.
I called myself MaggitTooth because GoldTooth didn’t stand for faggitry and also because I hate NIN and other such Industrial-Emo-Hop-Core music.
Jizzwad called me Toot because I, the Melvins, Godflesh, Reggae & Dubstep rule.
decided on my moniker after about two seconds, and thought it fit. no special stories here about that. i guess right (mental) place, right time.it’s also politically incorrect–Know what i mean? DON’T BE TALKIN’ 'BOUT NO RETARDS!
My original AOL screen name in 1994 was C Hunter Mc because it was the only variation on my name that wasn’t already taken or didn’t have a bunch of random numbers.
Exactly why I spell “Skarekroe” the way I do.
“Rev.” because of my ordainment in the Universal Life Church.
I’ve used some variation on these two names as internet handles and DJ names since '93 or so.
mine is the one “online name” i have ever used.
slack is a word that relates to church of the subgenius. in the early 90’s when i was writing music playing guitar and recording music i was (of coarse) interested in sampling and audio clips. it was this that i became really interested in weird ass preachings and extreme religions. not because it was something to follow and believe in. but because i couldn’t believe some of the things that these people were saying. so this guy had a book (before internet) of theirs (Church of Sub). it was full of cool graphics and weird rambling “verses”. and i knew that “slack” was something the “members” of that church were striving for. however, after i read and read and read - i discovered that “slack” was NEVER DEFINED. so it became a nothing. and i thought this twist was hilarious. anywho…
slack means nothing. therefore, i love nothing.
p.s. - i think lately church of sub somewhat does define it - not sure - never followed up with’um.
people have called me fish since i was 5. rhymes with my last name.
It’s my name.
Interesting stories behind your names there folks.
I believe that was directed towards me, so thank you.
What can I say, except that my username story will dumb down this thread significantly:
It’s the room number on the door. Pretty much it. Hey, look kids, it’s Adrian Zmed!
1002
hey man, you’re a poet.
tell that to the babes.
seriously…
(No, seriously)
I’ve been using RevCo online since 95…[tongue]
Had a little bit of an issue when Revco drugs rolled around but now they’re gone.
User ID since 1992. Anyone remember 2400 baud, WWIV, Mosaic, and IRC?
A Mooney. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mooney_M20
138 is a reference to The Misfits tune, We are 138, and/or an aircraft tail number, November one thirty eight. Robots and machines.
I happened to have an active runway directly outside my front door at that point in time, have flown in one, and the vertical stabilizer looks like it was attached incorrectly. Damn engineers!
are you a spy?
Minus the “lord” part, piko was named after a street in L.A. that I used to live next to called “pico”. One day I didn’t feel like giving my real name to someone (in real life) and called myself piko. Eventually made an aim account with the name, and the name’s sort of been my online alias ever since.
