How you got Your Handle or Identifier

[Doramius]

Some people may not want to divulge their own, and others are blatently obvious. For those who have a not readily identifiable handle and don't mind sharing, let us know how you got your handle.

- DoRaMi U.S. Distributing - "AKA Doramius Distributing"

This is a private company I run, though most of it is retired or bought out. The little of it that remains done through eBay, though it is very little. The company that bought most of it is E.R.Models or Eurorails Model importers ltd. (www.ermodels.com), which should give you an idea type of company it WAS. After most of the company was retired, I shifted it's focus to computer sales, which my younger brother runs back in NY. I handle very little with it anymore other than I'm the sole controller of the entity.

Cap = Capture
Master = Over 2400 to date

From mid-2002 to spring 2004 I was a capturin' fool, grabbing movies from my aging VHS collection and transfering to DVD for longevity. I would sometimes do 15 or 16 a day when I had the Snazzi and the standalone both going at the same time. Most in a 3-day weekend - 44. 8)

Well, that too But then I would have foregone the rap slang and just taken the name Recoil Junkie, or 220Swift, or Dillon Blue

[indolikaa]

Indolikaa Khan.


Indolikaa is a reference to a character in a set of science fictions novels I've been working on for several years now. Khan is in reference to the Mongolian warlords.

It's been so long since I started using that handle, I honestly don't remember for sure what triggered it. I've been using it for almost 20 years.

[ViRaL1]

Came up with mine all on my own (sans the 1, thank the impostors for that), not sure what inspired it. I used to chat and went through several nicks, but this is the one that has always stuck with me. Wish I had a better story, but that's the long and short of it.

[Capmaster]

My handle when playing online games was Litter Box Bandit for years. I would have used that here, but when I joined I pictured a noob seeing that handle and not giving my posts a second look

I even got spam regular mail at home addressed to Litter Box Bandit

[ViRaL1]

My gaming handle was Tremor. Been a long time since I used that.

[menes777]

An old Dungeons & Dragons character that I still use today for main characters, handles, etc...

[yoda313]

Hello,

Well the YODA part is DAMN OBVIOUS (if you have to ask where have you been since 1980??? The 313 came from a couple of years ago. I was signing up for all of those prize websites (iwon for example). I started using nonsense names and then numbers following it like 414, 515, 616 etc... I stumbled on 313 and liked it. Ever since then I try to use it. In fact, yoda313 is my Ebay id .

Kevin

[kiki]

I used to be the manager of a major automotive conglomerate. My last name is ki****.
An unhappy client with a speech impediment demanded to speak to Mr kikikiki****.
My staff thought this was the funniest thing they ever heard and started referring to me as Mr. kiki.
Having been called many worst things in the past,
I took no offence to this and have been using it as a log in name ever since.

kiki

[ViRaL1]

...and all this time I thought you were a woman.

[redwudz]

Redwoods refers to the part of the country I reside in. There are several redwood trees over 360 ft. high about 30 miles from here. The spelling was the only one available.

[kiki]

NO viral.
No boobs here. But I would treat them with the utmost respect, and joy.
Dick and balls all the way. Just another horny old bastard on the face of the planet.

[northcat_8]

My handle here is pretty simple. North as in the direction, cat as in a ******* cat.

Other handles:

phuku2 - pogo
MrDckHd - pogo
I_H8_U2 - yahoo
coldheartedSOB - pogo
gophukurself_5 - pogo
Iphukdurmom_69 - pogo

several others. I use to play spades quite a bit over at pogo.com, haven't been there in quite a while.

Pretty much everyone on the web now knows me as Northcat.

[Doramius]

is the 8 for how many cats you've seen f**king up north?

[yoda313]

Hello,

I think 8 is how many lives he's wasted here!

[Grimey]

I had just watched the episode of the simpsons that had Frank "Grimey" Grimes on it when I signed up, so i decided ot use it as a name.

[makntraks]

Spun vinyl (DJ), made custom cuts (remixes) then went on to make cd's of said cuts,
hence - makntraks

[Supreme2k]

The Lord will return in the year 2000.

[indolikaa]

The Lord will return in the year 2000.

Really?!

And all this time, I thought '2k' was some cryptic code for *******...


:P :P


NOTE TO NEWBIES 101 STUDENTS:
Always remember. 3 smileys means you were just kidding. 5 smileys means you know you just sucker-punched someone real good. 3 smileys and 2 tongues means you just gone done and bitch-slapped that wad into a completely different dimension, and he'd be wise to keep his uppity trap shut, lest you have to get British on his sorry ass.

[Supreme2k]

lest you have to get British on his sorry ass.

You'll stop brushing your teeth?

[indolikaa]

lest you have to get British on his sorry ass.

You'll stop brushing your teeth?

OMG!

[thecoalman]

Mines been passed down for Four generations

[Cobra]

My name came from the fact that I like snakes. I don't keep any (unfortunately) but I hope to soon. Nothing as dangerous as a viper though...

I used to be called CobraDMX because the name Cobra was already taken up, so I added some random letters after it and used it. It was changed early this year.

I have been known as Cobra since I first signed up with Westwood in order to play Command & Conquer on the Internet. That was '98 or thereabouts.

[gitreel]

Mine is self-explanatory.

[Capmaster]

Mine is self-explanatory.

You buy fishing equipment

[gitreel]

No, but I do love to fish.

Spearfishing while scubadiving is the best.

[jimmalenko]

Mine is a nickname I got about 10 years ago. Long story short, my mate was nicknamed Joffa, so I started calling him joffalenko. My first name couldn't be made to fit, but my middle name James could, so jimmalenko was born.

[housepig]

mrs. housepig spent a few years in Korea growing up, and became familiar with a phrase, jip de jee - literally "house pig" - with which wives refer to their husbands.

I thought it was hilarious, and was looking for a domain name, since the one I wanted was long gone. I thought it would be short and easy to remember, so my old online ID disappeared and I became Housepig.
