The story behind your nickname/handle...



Mine is a two fold reminder to myself.

1.) That anything I put energy into should become valuable.

2.) Not to let the energy or value become so all consuming that I lose the ability to enjoy life.
 
I seriously have no fucking clue why I took the nick as Red_Virus some years back and it's been with me ever since then. I thought it was cool & somebody even snatched my nick on Twitter!
 
I made it when I was like 12, If YoU CaN't TeLl By ThE L33t gayness. It drives me nuts now, but I've used it for years and it's kind of nice to randomly meet people I've "met" online years ago.

*Note to self: PM an admin and have it changed


BTW: I used to play Runescape too, that was the first place I used this nick :) I have to say that game sucks now though, the gameplay has gone downhill...
 
fm1234 is a variance on my initials (Frank Mottley IV)

Ironically, I only used fm1234 for serious venues for years ... for some reason when I started getting active on marketing forums I stuck to this, rather than ZenBiker, which I've used on forums, mailing lists and BBS going back more than 20 years. That of course a reference to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainence.

+1 for runescape...the addiction of my 5th grade days

Blah runescape, the addiction of my 8th grade :hollering:

Actually, one of the first things I did with my affiliate dollar profitz was to become a member for one month ($5.95) :thumbsup:

<--- TFC / Counterstrike handle from like 10+ years ago. I typically used this name when I quickly signed up on forums I didn't think I'd use a lot.........800 posts later....
 
Many years ago as a teenager, I was convicted by a jury of armed robbery but acquitted of the gun charge. Somehow the jury was convinced I had helped commit an armed robbery without actual being armed.

It's a lot funnier now, then it was then.

Probably the best story on here if it is true.
 
Because I'm always thinking of travel and getting the hell away from here. Off I go, into the wild blue yonder, like the old air force song.
 
I figured the only way to scare my competition was to threaten to buttfuck them, hence when they call me a name "hey dumbshit" I respond with "ITS BOFU TO YOU MOFUCKA" or I think quietly "It's a buttfuckin to you" - but Bofu sounded better than Bufu. Meh.

Edit: actual background, I didn't want to be related to my old security-based nickname so I was drunk and typed until someone made me laugh - 'hahaha bofu to youuuuuuuuuu'. Then of course, like a bitch, I named my blog after my old security-based nickname. Le sigh.


I always think of Bank of America since you can type in bofa.com and it will take you to their site, so similar to the Eli story, if I ever call you bank of america, you'll know why.
 
Maybe I'm not?

What's the other p for?


sorry. It's just that I've explained it a couple times before and I didn't want to get redundant.

turbo was a nickname from an exboyfriend because I like to kinda stroll when I walked. When I first signed on to AIM around 1996, it was already taken so I added my initials LAP. Then I moved around and didn't have a computer for acouple of years and when I tried to sign back on I either couldn't remember my password or the account was gone. So I just added an extra p to keep it simple. And VOILA: turbolapp.

@rage I chose to change my last name, I would have kept it if I wanted to but I liked my husbands name alot better. Since then I've been told my name sounds like an Author or Movie star. Finally, come on, with how paranoid we all are, you gotta admit it's kinda nice to take on new identity with almost zero hassle and no brow's raised.
 
Even though I know you pronounce your name E-LIE because your name on here is Deli-Guy I have to work it out in my brain ahead of time not to not call you El-E. But just incase I ever do you'll know why.

You won't be the only one. I know way too many El-E's. Sorry E-LIE
