Base Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Probably already been done here, but I'll ask anyway... Why did you choose the names that you use on here?? Some are clearly actual names or variations, but quite a few are more obscure and I'm just nosy... er, curious Mine was a nickname from university days. My real name is Jason, which is usually abv. to Jase over here but I hate that and would never respond to it so people started calling me Base for some strange reason. Don't get called it anymore but still use it for things like this & msn.... Fa Fa FA Fa fa fa fa fa FA fa FA FA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headlow Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Mine came from one of my old jobs. There was a bit of a gap between two of the machines and it was very low as well. Unfortunatly I had a nasty habit of hitting my head every time I went through, which in itself is a bit stupid as Im only about 5 foot 3 inches. One of the guys put a sign up that read ' mind your head, low entry'. For some reason the 'headlow' thing stuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbach1 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I had just told my boss what was actually on my mind without pulling any punches and I, of course, got fired. That and my way too fierce independence prompted me to use "can't work for no one" which I later shorted to cwfno. Probably, if I was signing up today, I would choose something different to reflect my recently renewed love of music. bbach Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Billster Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Once upon a time, we had the old "Blowfly" recordings, and our circle of friends went through a phase of tacking "fly", "flea" and other insects to the end of everything. When I first got online, the name "billfly" was taken, so the gentle and friendly "billster" took it's place. Now it's just momentum. My friend who coined "billfly" still uses that when addressing me. I just call him goofball. Buy my CD on CD Baby! Bill Hartzell - the website MySpace?!?!

Werewolf by Night Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Well, years ago, I discovered (quite by accident) what my name originally was, prior to having been adopted as an infant. (Yeah, I know, tear-tear, everybody always thinks it's an Oliver Twist story! ) On a whim, I was fooling around with different combinations of my former and current names, and along with some Celtic/Gaelic spelling variations and the hyphons popular with some newlyweds, I came up with "Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite", and added "Leprechaun, Esq." I occasionally would sign letters and notes under that compound-polymoniker, when a little less seriousness seemed in order. So... after several different attempts at registering for this Guitar Forum returned notice that the display-names that I entered were already in use, I remembered and went with "Caevan O'Shite". Not terribly interesting, huh?

Mudcat Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Back in the 80s I had been tagged with the nicknames T-Bone (because of my initials, "TB"), Elvis (because of my then current obsession with the King), and sometimes T-Bone Elvis (see above ). Sometime around 1990 I was driving along with my buddy Richard who I was putting a new band together with. We were doing something that was like Chris Isaak only a bit greasier and more rock-a-billy. Richard told me I needed a new nickname for our new band because T-Bone had been overdone (pun intended). He threw out a couple of ideas that were lame and I just blurted out "How 'bout Mudcat?" He burst out laughing and I have been Mudcat (sometimes with a K) ever since. Thus the mystery is solved. Mudcat's music on Soundclick "Work hard. Rock hard. Eat hard. Sleep hard. Grow big.

fantasticsound Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I aim to a high standard when I mix. All too often I hear real and stereotypical comments about mixers, especially live mixers being difficult and providing less than adequate mixes. I've set out to be a one man wrecking crew to that belief, whether real or imagined. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Dr.Fuzz Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Went to jam with a friend of mine, 20+ years ago.

ihategarybettman Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I hate Gary Bettman, especially after the 1999 Stanley Cup finals, when he allowed the series to be decided by a goal that shouldn't have counted, lied about reviewing it, and then dug up some obscure rule that wasn't enforced the entire season to cover his weasel ass.

Tedster Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 A couple people at work call me "Tedster" all the time. My name is Ted Hoffman. Really exciting, huh? I could have chosen "Theo", which is what my best buds back in Michigan call me. I think they started calling me "Theo" to annoy me ('cause I'm not fond of my first name, "Theodore"...and, I think "Kojak" was popular at the time), and I just got so used to it it became more of a buddy-to-buddy "term of endearment".

guit-it Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 My moniker came about as a result of jam sessions I used to attend with some old cats that played high speed bluegrass. They were all in their 60's and 70's and their expression instead of saying "That Guy can sure pick" was "That kid guits it". nuff sed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave da Dude Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Mine is from a old comedy movie (1950's), "Apple Annie" starring Bette Davis, Ann Margaret and John Forsythe. Apple Annie gives "good luck" apples to "Dave the Dude", the organized crime boss in NYC during prohibition. Her daughter (Ann Margaret) is educated in Europe and knows nothing about her mother's poor (street person type) existence. The daughter makes a sudden visit with her fiance, the son of a Spanish Duke. Dave the Dude sets up an elaborate plan to pass off Annie as one of the elite of NYC. My favorite line of the movie happens when the plan starts to go bad, The butler tries to sneak out before Annie is crushed with embarrasement in front of her daughter. Dave the Dude catches him and asks him where he's going. The butler says that he was going to leave to avoid having to see all the sadness. Dave the Dude says "With two broken legs?" That's the kind of subtely that I like Dave Gotta' geetar... got the amp. There must be SOMEthing else I... "need". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak Lander Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Back in the day I had some friends, one who always told some story or other about Cooter Brown & how drunk he got, & another that talked to & would howl along with "Old Blue". It got to where everyone was drunker than Cooter Brown. Anyway, there was a Philipino Lounge act in the P.I. & the headliner was named Bill deGuzman. We often got so drunk, & it seemed Bill deGuzman did too, that we started calling him Coots deGootz and, of course, that lead to us calling anyone, who was really pie-eyed, including each other, Coots deGootz. So, to make a long story short, I was born in Dak(ota) Land, the Northernmost one, and thus daklander.
