Screen Name origins, why/how did you choose yours? Options

[axelrduvirage]

just another post about how you came about choosing your screen name.



some are pretty self-explanitory..names like OrangeCelicaGT, SeattleChick78 are easy to guess. others like overbasher645, h438467fg0w need interpretation. what is the story behind yours?



mine came about when we played Microprose's GrandPrix 2 F1 race simulator. my good friend Mario had no idea how to brake into turns. just fly through like a bat outta hell and make up the time on the next straight-- that was his motto. i kept telling him to brake, then accelerate out of the apex of the turn "accélère du virage!". he would usually tell me to shutup and taunt me "accélère du virage, accélère du virage, accélère du virage!!" when i was driving. anyway it litteraly means: to accelerate out of a turn. change the spelling and you have a nifty sceen name and player name for racing games-- Axel R duVirage.



BTW if its all looks like French to you you're right. good old fashioned 17th century acadian french, not that pretentious parisian French.

[Supersprynt]

[Mynzeyes]

Mynzeyes (pronounced "mines eyes")= derived from "mind's eye". The "third eye".

Good Tool song about it, to related this to the new Tool topic. Anyway, it's used to refer to an ability to "see" things in your mind. Such as being able to see something in your mind, and being able to put it onto paper. Also refers to memory and imagination. Some references use it to refer to things involving religion, but I don't roll like that. I keep things logical.

Wikipedia it!

Are all of the things different from you regarded with such rude comments? Or was someone having a bad day?


And people wonder why there is "innocent" victims of random acts of violence. Perhaps they should look into what those who lashed out in rage were victims of and for how long, to gain a better understanding for the things they have done. Someone is forced to live, as we all never asked for life. People hold those who appear (or have been told are) "unique", and right away are casted aside by society. Perhaps you should watch how you treat others, before you find yourself in a situation you cannot help yourself in. Take it how you want to. Just friendly advice.

Relax Random, it's supposed to be a joke. When posting on the forum you lose the facial expressions which would clearly indicate his comment as humor. I actually find your "random" comments interesting and definately not inline with what is expected coming from someone of your appearance.

Take how he wants? Or how it was given? Simmer...

I apologize. You are right. Perhaps I should not allow myself to be so vulnerable to simple words as well. Although I must admit, they can hurt more than the wounds inflicted by physical weapons. Not to get all high-jackish on anyone, but thank you for your comment. No one ever does expect it.

My name is derived from the tabletop miniature wargame called Warhammer. I've been collecting and playing the game for almost 10 years. Here's some info...

My biggest army is that of the Orcs and Goblins. An orc & goblin army is also known as a waaagh. Also the magic used by this army is called "Little waaagh" and "Big waaagh". Bigger is better so I made it Bigwaaagh, and have used that name for every game, forum, neglected weblog etc...

[Ironic]

Back in 84, my mother had a yellow 76 celica. One day my father decided to take her celica instead of his pos 75 chevette. So she took his car and went off to visit her family. While leaving her mothers she ran into the back of a stopped car doing about 25, totaling his chevette. She went to the hospital for a broken leg. As soon as she got home from the hospital later on that night, she recieved a phone call from the same hospital she just left. Some kids pepped up on heroin and alchohol went the wrong direction down Interstate 45 while he was on he was to work. Both cars were going around 70 and had a head on collision. My father broke both of his legs, crack his rib cage, and wasnt able to walk right ever again. If he had the accident in his car he would have died, and that would have made me non existent me being born in 86. I bought my 96 celica myself. 56k miles, owned buy an old guy who rarely drove it. And it had been repainted just before i bought it. I won the car off ebay, and picked it up August 1, 06. My celica was my 3rd car. I spent 27 months working and saving, 3^3 is 27. On august 3rd, 30 months after my 18th bday, an f150 crossed two way traffic without looking both ways and ran into me. I had my 3rd car 3 days, on august 3rd, 27 months of savings, 30 months having the same job, 30 months after my 18 birthday, it was the first accident I ever got into. Isnt it ironic? Don’t ya think?

People who intentionally look different and listen to music that is not considered mainstream should not take offense to the labels "weird", "strange" or "creepy".
