You're likely to end up wearing a pair of cement golashes and swimming with da fishes.

I got to bump this for badwhale! Post that reason here...

**badwhale** · 01-13-2009, 08:22 PM

Upon request: Cut & Paste:

My name's Will. My previous boss was from Taiwan, and when he'd address me it always sounded like "whale" (the large mammal). Funny thing was, he could say "will". For example:

Lin: "Whale will go to meeting for me"

Anyway, it became my nickname around the office, and I've changed it to badwhale on this and different forums.

Will

Mine is a shortened version of my hometown.

When I joined the computer biz in the '70s, I was also training as a stuntman. Due to my tight schedules, sometimes I'd arrive to work in full western gear including guns. My boss, who became a very close friend, thought it was "wild". It has stayed with me though the years.

For those of you who missed it, go back to page 8 or nine of this thread. Hex changed his name to "FlowerBasketExpress2005" and we never could quite figure out why.....

ok I will say it this thread isn't anything without a pic!

**alliaphagist** · 03-23-2009, 09:48 PM

Mine is a bastardization of Latin and Greek roots. Allia is from the Latin for garlic, and phagist is from the Greek for eater. So I'm a garlic eater. I came up with the name a year or two ago, when I needed a DJ name for my metal show at my college radio station. I wanted something that simultaneously sounded "metal" and also meant something about me. I'm half Italian and into food, so I eat a lot of garlic.

Also it's fun when people stumble over the pronunciation.

**MarineOne** · 03-24-2009, 06:40 AM

Hi, my name is Kris and I got my name from two different places; going to my "A" school (or as we Marines call it, going to your primary MOS school) while stationed at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, and from online gaming. MCB Quantico is home to HMX-1, the helicopter squadron that flies the President, and while he's onboard the helo the craft is known as Marine One.

I took the name "Marine One" and used it during my days of flying in the old series of Electronic Arts and Jane's simulators (US Navy Fighters '97, Jane's Fighters Anthology, Jane's IAF) and it carried over to first person shooters of the early 2000's like the Tom Clancy Rainbox Six series and the original Ghost Recon.

I'm also part of an online group of Marines that game online.

Not too original, but I'm of Scotch-Irish ancestry and when I used to play on Xbox Live almost 7 years ago, I used the name "Irish Renegade". I just dropped the "Renegade" part, hence Irish and then I added my birth year.

MarineOne - I have gone mountain biking on the base at Quantico. It's not really mountain biking as much as off-road biking, but better than nothing. My sister-in-law works in logistics there.

The Spanish word for smoking (Fuma) and the area code of Puerto Rico (787), where I was born.

**JFellows** · 04-06-2009, 09:49 PM

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe "JFellows" is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

**CatalystOfChaos** · 04-06-2009, 11:30 PM

Mine's due to a conversation I had with the wife.

We had been at Disneyland, and I like to poke the bee's nest pretty much all the time. If the kids are bickering, I'll throw something in there just to get a reaction, and I do the same thing at work, some forum boards I used to be on, etc.

One day (the aforementioned Disneyland trip) she asked why I do that (after I stirred up the kids again) and all I could give her was that I liked to watch the chaos, it makes me smile.

Hence, the name.
