gridironmike Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Some of these are obvious and some mysterious. Mine, well obviously my name is Mike. I also happen to be a big football fan. Its kind of a play off of Iron Mike (like in Ditka, not Tyson). I use it here, at arenafan.com, areanfootball.com, cfl.ca, football.com, the Tivo boards, about anywhere I can.

Southtown Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I'm almost certain there was a thread on this like 6 months ago in FedEx. If I knew how to use the search function I would find it for you. Its really entertaining and had a ton of replies. Hopefully someone will hook you up with a link...it was a good read.

gridironmike Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hmm, I tired the search for username and didn't really find a big thread like that, but its probably there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakofthesouth Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 My name came from a nickname I once heard for LaVar. Kearse was "The Freak," and Lavar was "The Freak of the North." And I am Lavar's brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Don't know if you all caught the thread within a thread in the old link: http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=165&perpage=20&display=&pagenumber=1 I had forgotten that I did this very thing way back when in 12/01. One thing that caught my eye in scanning that thread: in 12/01, we had 580 registered members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Originally posted by TheKurp Not much of a story OM. My last name is Kurpiers but no one can pronounce it. CUR-PEE-A. Yeah, it's french - I think. Someone once told me it was a Polish name and proceeded to show me that while there are less than 10 people in France with that last name there are over 300 in Poland. Go figure. That explains everything :laugh: OM you guys scared off that Cycleans guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 When I joined...it was johnny_mavrik - which was an inside joke with a college buddy - we used to make fun of porn names and this was my choice of a name - should I have been a pornstar. Took over the mantle of The Evil Genius when SOS was hired. Suprised no one chose it becuase it was available for a few months I think after he was hired.

flashback Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I've never explained mine before, because who gives a crap about what a Cowboy fan chooses a name, right? I chose 'flashback' on the spur of the moment about 7 years ago in a Cowboys message board on the Austin360 web page. Flashback was actually the name of a fullback counter play my HS team ran, and was about the only time I touched the ball. I liked it (the username) because it has some old school connotations, too. It has nothing to do with that time I dropped acid...for 6 years... :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 979man Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I only joined because of this nostalgic whim I needed to satisfy (see here ) and the first thing that came to mind, nostalgically, was Ben Johnson's 9.79, or actually the guy on TV screeming - "9-7-9 !!!". Don't have a clue why. I thought'd be just one thread for me so didn't put much thought on the username, but in the short time I've been here I've found a warm home away from home :cry: (they should have an "awwwww" smiley). Might change the name now... (maybe to Dwain Chambers' result) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman56 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I went to Whitman High School and wore #56 there. I always thought I should put tape over the "W" on Whitman and be Hitman 56. I guess its just a coincidence that Lavar is a hitman and wears #56. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantasm Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Well, I'm a NASCAR fan, and my favorite driver is Dale Earnhardt Jr., and he drives the #8 Budweiser car, so it's not hard to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Well, I'd explain the whole Henry thing again, but it's a long story and very complicated, and frankly, I just don't have the strength for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan44 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Well, since I am a Red(skinsfan), and my favorite Skins player of all time was John Riggins, I put together skinsfan44. Also, by not picking a name that reflects a current player, the name never goes out of style, like when a player get's traded or released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
