Joetheeskimo Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I'm curious as to how everyone thought up their wierd usernames. How did you guys get the idea for your username? I got "joetheeskimo5" when I was setting up a hotmail e-mail account. Everyone at school nicknames me "Joe Shmoe the Eskimo", since my real name is Joseph. So I thought, what a great username for e-mail! I wanted to make my e-mail username Joe Shmoe The Eskimo, but it didn't allow spaces, so I shortened it to joetheeskimo5. That's my username for about everything npw, including LF. Some people think I'm actually an eskimo, or my name is Joe Eskimo. All wrong. It's just a username.

They release foul mints with the LoK: Defiance stamp on it at E3, whereas Hitman becomes the poster boy for Eidos and Tomb Raider gets a movie.

topshot Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I dunno where I got mine. I just thought I was a good gunner with a missile launcher in JO, giving me a good shot back when JO was still young to me. Joe's name always reminded me of a restaurant I've been to once. Maybe this is why some called him "Joe Eskimo." (No harm or puns intended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Before i registered here, i registered at Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Heaven ( swgb.heavengames.com ) and my username there is Tesla Trooper... Well a Tesla Trooper is a unti from a Command & Conquer game, C & C Red Alert 2 I registered here under the same name, but got it changed to just Tesla, because the Trooper bit kinda sucks IMHO. You can call me, Tesla, Tes (I use that on the EB IRC sometimes), whatever....(That goes with Tesla of course) Well thats me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I worked as a photolab technician in a grocery store, and if most of you realize, toxic film chemicals and produce are like apples and oranges, so I would be working late up in my lab, processing everyones film, learning every ones nasty little secretes, so I came up with the name sinister eggplant. I tried real hard to come up with a name combination that might not be used online. because lots of time you try to come up with a name and they assign a number along with it. I hate that, you have enough numbers in your life as it is, so sinister eggplant was perfect. because on msn, yahoo, aol and icq I AM 'the eggman' KOO KOO KA CHOO, there could be sinister eggplant clones out there, but they would be SE2, SE3 etc... and I originally signed up with LF as sinister eggplant but forgot my password, changed email and ISP in rapid succession so I just signed up as Darth Eggplant which had at least a Star Wars flavour to it. and posting now, I figure why switch? peeps know me as DE, most time affectionately or in exasperation they just say "Eggy" so I am not about to change it to black eggplant or kingplant or [RA kingplant] or etc....mamba;) or when i MSN peeps i also stick with S.E (unlike one fine young man I know who changes his user handle faster than you can change your game boy cartridge) yobemagel anyhow that is the mundane and terribly boring saga of my username:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Well, I was originally Jedi220, and the oldbies who are returning back after a few months will need to know that as well as the newbies who didn't know. Jedi220 came from Jedi + time of registration --> 2:20 AM That name was a carryover from JK2Files.com's FileFreak Forums. Whilst my time here, I developed the nickname Jed (affectionately started by Reb Starblazer - I miss that guy), and got my name changed upon receiving my job at taking care of some of JK.net's forums.

Taos Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I miss my Jedi220 x.x My name was from a combo of basically throwing names together, nothing special really. Taos mountains are in New Mexico and Leemu [mu being from the greek alphabet]....I just thought it sounded kinda cool and I pictured it as my jedi name lol.

GUNNER Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 when I was a kid there was a guy who played softball with my dad and he played 3rd base. They called him gunner cuz he had a hell of an arm. It sounded cool and when I first joined RS.Net almost 5 years ago it was my first time on a BB forums and I was not to good at the caps lock key so I just registered with my name all caps.
