What's the story behind your username?

Always assumed that was where yours originated. Fun coincidence.

Mine is two Bowie songs, Cygnet Committee and Seven. Back in the day when you needed a disc you that got in the mail to sign up for internet/AOL, it prompted me for a username and I realized I didn't have one. Seven was playing and Cygnet Committee was one of my favorites.

Whoops, that is where I meant to put it. I hope it does not get deleted/flagged, because this is awesome!

Lol! Just posted my story in the ChocoRun thread... since you and Exact-Psience were talking about it... Here it is:

"Since everyone's spoutin' out the origins of their usernames, I may as well state mine, since a lot of people are wondering what the heck ninjackid is supposed to mean. Well, back when I got my first email account (I was like 9 or 10, lol) I took the first initial of my name, (C) and then "Kid" and made Ckid my email username. I've been using it ever since and when I joined TA I just stuck Ninja in front of it and hence came NinjaCkid. "

Will add to this. My previous username was Slighmd, sligh from magic the gathering since i used to play red burn, and md for my profession. Been using it for a few years. Recently changed it to what im using now which is basically my "shortcutted" name coz some people couldnt pronounce it ( they say sleeg md)

[.THOTH.]

When I was younger I was into theology and mysticism, I read the Hermetica and always loved how the names Hermes Trismegistus and Thoth sounded phonetically, not to mention the mystique behind these historical figures. Thoth is shorter and easier to say so I went with that. I also love hip hop and liked how MF DOOM would spell his name in all caps so I took the two and combined them into my username. Now I use it with all things game related.

Not sure how much of a creeper/stalker this makes me but......the awesome IMNS/ Im No Super Man former TA Mod was a really big scrubs fan and thats a catch phrase thats in the theme song and it just stuck with him.

Nice can't go wrong with Bowie. I often shout when I'm a little inebriated at Widespread Panic shows and they play a Bowie song during set break, which they do a lot, "I f###ing love Bowie!" My incredible enthusiasm probably freaks whatever random person I'm talking to out just a little bit.

Anyway, my username I've been using for everything for years. It comes from a t-shirt that Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio wore during the bands performance at the IT music festival. I think one of the e's was upside down or something but can't remember. I like it cause its never used and I never have to add any numbers to it. Plus nobody knows what the heck it means unless they are Phish nuts like me.

Mine is from when I made my Xbox live GT. When I got Xbl gold I redeemed the code but had know Idea what to do for my name so since I've always liked fire type everything like pokemon, i decided to do fire for the first part then i felt it was a bit lacking so I added the ball. my Xbl GT has since changed but Fireball has really stuck to me so I use it for everything.

Rather lame compared to other stories. Looking foward to reading other peoples.
