what's in your name

[td4mvp3]

got curious after reading that "come clean" nonsense of a thread. someone mentioned "mouse," and i thought "why on earth would anyone make that his profile name?"

thus, i put it to you. a lot of you have some non-obvious names (i consider mine pretty obvious in terms of what it means and why i chose it), what's the story behind the nomenclature?

[Cleveland Steamer]

I'll give you one guess.

[OldDirtMcGirt]

It's all about the rugged lands of Shaolin.

[VaSpursFan]

pretty much self explanatory...i live in richmond, VA and i'm a spurs fan.

[td4mvp3]

Spanish for "turkey" (not spelled correctly, by the way) :lol
why'd you name yourself after a turkey?

[td4mvp3]

pretty much self explanatory...i live in richmond, VA and i'm a spurs fan.
richmond is nice. i lived in newport news for a short while, made it to state capitol a couple of three times, always liked its colonial look.

[Guajalote]

Spanish for "turkey" (not spelled correctly, by the way).

50 cool points for somebody that can figure out where the avatar(sp?) below the picture comes from.

[Guajalote]

why'd you name yourself after a turkey?

Funny story. When I was in high school Spanish 1, around Thanksgiving time, we learned the word for turkey. I laughed and told my friend that it sounded like some medieval knight's name. I guess it just stuck. :lol

[Mr. Body]

My last name is Body.

[CubanMustGo]

You *really* need an explanation?

[Leetonidas]

Essay = S.A. and Spur...well, I dunno, we're on a Spurs forum right? 1001 is just a number, and I'm going to ask Kori to drop it when she's not busy.

But without my name being spelled Essay, it would be SASpur which is kinda boring. So...yeah.

[gaKNOW!blee]

well mine is supposed to be the way Charles Barkley says Ginobilis last name. After I made it I kind of realized it was stupid.

[td4mvp3]

You *really* need an explanation?
well ... no, actually. :p:

[Brutalis]

It's spelled Brutalise but I cut off the E cause I'm American and we screw up words really well.

It's been my alias for years, it's after the Spurs. They are brutal. And before we became so brutal, it was brutal for us. Each year in the 90s was brutal, and now we are the ones doing the brutality to other teams. /end

[ObiwanGinobili]

ObiwanGinobili.

my fav spur is/was Manu*. And I'm a sci-fi geek. and manu does crazy ass things on the court ... kinda unbelievable.... like a jedi.



* I say "is/was" because now I seriously can't choose between manu, Tim and bruce.

[E20]

E= Emmanuel
20= The jesey number 20

[angel_luv]

Angel has been my nick name since I worked as a hostess at the Magic Time Machine.

Luv- because I try to like everyone and because Angel and luv go well together.

[Strike]

Strike has been my nickname most of my life.

A play on my last name.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

It's my real name.

:cry :cry :cry

[spurs=bling]

Spurs because of the Spurs. And bling because of the diamonds in the championship rings. So Spurs=Bling.

[SRJ]

SRJ is a short version of my old name on another Spurs forum.

The name was Spurs 2-0, Rockets 2-2, Jazz 0-2. When I joined back then, those were our historic division rivals and their records in NBA Finals play. One realignment and two titles later, the full name is rather unnecessary, but I liked the letters together.

Hope that helps.

[florige]

My old job I had that was the name of it. I use it on every message board so I don't have to try and keep track of different alias everytime I log on somewhere.

[Bear Grylls]

Nothing behind it, its who I am.

[El_Mago]

Magician in English.

I was given the nickname out in the soccer fields for my style of play.

[ClingingMars]

pretty much self explanatory...i live in richmond, VA and i'm a spurs fan.

uhoh, my title has been stripped

-Mars

[Money316]

I had only 316 dollars to my name ... before I hit the lottery.


:elephant

[Shelly]

I have no idea how I came up with my screen name.

[Nathan Explosion]

There's a cartoon on Adult Swim called Metalocalypse. It's about the most brutal metal band in the world, Dethklok.

Nathan Explosion is the lead singer of Dethklok. That's him in the picture. I used the name because I've been watching a lot of Metalocalypse lately, and love the name. It was either that or Murderface.


Metalocalypse follows the exploits of the part-American/part-Scandinavian metal band Dethklok. Although the name is usually spelled "Dethklok," almost all of the band logos have it spelled as "Dëthkløk." Dethklok follows true-to-life metal styling, one example being their death metal-oriented song, "Mermaider," about "mermaid murder." They enjoy a popularity level unheard of in reality, being "the twelfth largest economy on Earth." They are so popular that their fans will do anything their songs tell them, even if it means death. If Dethklok endorses a company, it instantly becomes the only source for the product it happens to sell, as every competitor is quickly driven out of business. The band's unnatural popularity has attracted the attention of an Illuminati-style group, known as the Tribunal. Each episode sees this group attempt to covertly thwart the band by calling in various "specialists", such as a "military pharmaceutical psychotropic drug manufacturers", "celebrity depression specialists" or various psychopaths that attempt to infiltrate the group.

The band's concerts are notoriously violent, often resulting in harm to a good portion of the crowd. Even their attempts at charity result in numerous deaths, such as the laser light show that butchered the London Philharmonic orchestra during a benefit concert. The premiere episode gives an example of this: a metal box that serves as the band's stage is airlifted and dropped on location, but misses the landing area and crushes a good portion of the crowd, both by virtue of its landing and by its subsequent opening. Several searing hot coffee and cream pitchers are also poured on the crowd, melting their skin off, to fit with the thrash metal styled coffee jingle being played by the band. Despite the obvious danger, however, people love Dethklok's concerts so much that they will sign "pain waivers"[3] at the entrance, signing their lives away and releasing the band from legal liability in the very likely case they are killed or dismembered. The band members reside together in a vast mansion called Mordhaus (German for "Murderhouse") in an unspecified mountainous region known as Mordland. According to the Dethklok MySpace page, Mordland is in the United States. [4]Also according to a Myspace page supposedly belonging to Toki Wartooth, Mordhaus is in Arizona.[5] The members of Dethklok are portrayed as generally sociopathic and inept in all things non-musical except for negotiating their own contracts. Despite the band's immense success and talent, all of the members have self-esteem issues which surface to varying degrees during the show. Their monumental wealth allows them to get away with just about anything, including murder. The band members share an obsession with "brutality" and "metal-ness," often choosing whether or not to do something based on how "metal" they believe it to be.

i watched five minutes of that show once, waiting for a punchline. i didn't get it.

[Nathan Explosion]

It kind of works it's way to a punchline. It doesn't deliver right away. The first episode I saw I caught halfway through, and all I remember is an assassin falling down and getting his head impaled on the bassist's metal horn cod piece.

I was intrigued from then on

[Spurologist]

Man I have been a Spur fan since 1973. Yeah I am kinda old and have been through all the ups and downs with them. I remember praying that I would get to see them win at least 1 Title...Hey I have made it too 4. I have been truly blessed because I BLEED SILVER and BLACK.

What????????????????

[BradLohaus]

I used to dominate NBA Jam with Brad Lohaus and the Milwaukee Bucks. I think the Japanese programmers confused him with Larry Bird. People would think I was crazy win I used the Bucks against them when they had the Bulls or the Suns or some other great team, until I'd beat them over and over again.

He was the all around best player, and if anyone thinks it was Pippen or someone else, you are mistaken. Blue Edwards was a great sidekick. Since Brad was a Spur, I had to give him a shout out. I couldn't find a picture of him in a Spurs uniform, though.

[texbound]

Well, I picked my name because the moment I left Texas for DC I was sure I would make it back to the motherland. 13 years later, I finally made it back this year (2007). I guess It should be changed, but now it's just stuck.

[SpursFanFirst]

I'm a huge football and basketball fan, but I've been a Spurs fan my whole life, so...I'm a "Spurs Fan First". Below my name is a list of my other favorite teams.

It sounds fucking hilarious to me.

[King]

Years ago, there was a headline on The Onion that said "King Latifah returns for his bride.." which I thought was hysterical. I made the screen name King Latifah as a joke with a friend, and then never bothered to make another one. And dropped Latifah about two years ago.

[Clutch20]

I was convinced in '03 and '05 that E. Ginobili was the clutch shooter on the Spurs team.
Manu is Clutch, his number is 20.
And this team has never been quite the same ever since he took on clutchness.

My first Spurs tickets at Hemisfair, which I won on the radio (Z rock I think), were obstructed view seats. The Spurs lost to the Rockets, back when Hakeem was still Akeem. I still have the ticket stub somewhere. It signifies that while I'm not old school, I aspire to be.

[BeerIsGood!]

Mine is the name of an incredibly stupid and ridiculous song that just happened to be playing on the Squizz channel on XM Radio at home at the exact time I was trying to sign up and was prompted to create a username.

I think the band name was Psycoholic or something to that effect.

Histery of BIBA 'Wherever the girls went there was silence. Elly was completely blue: blue make-up, blue clothes, blue cap and blue curls. Eva was all green, Del all violet. Some girls were all in black... in their full regalia looking as if they had just left a Fellini set.' Barbara Hulanicki, describing the impact of the Biba look in 'From A to Biba'. Biba is frequently mentioned in the same giddy breath as mini-skirts, Mini cars, the Kings Road, the pill and various other London 'happenings' which shall forever define the 1960's as a decade that swung. It was, however, born of humble origins - garments were initially sold cheaply and to many, by mail order in newspapers. But by the early 1970's, Biba - a labour of love, a label, a lifestyle - had reached hitherto unknown heights of sophistication, innovation and retail experimentation, via its legendary Big Biba emporium on Kensington High Street (once hailed in the Sunday Times as 'the most beautiful store in the world').

I got my name from the Jacob Riis quote that the Spurs have posted.

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps 100 times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the 101st blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it but all that had gone on before.
