I never was good with usernames for myself.

My username dates back 6 years ago. I got on a forum called DBZonPS2 and my username was ~Mystic Gohan~ which was cool at the time. The interest in the series died so I had to change it but I had no idea to what so I just shortened it to Mystic-G which kinda sounded a little edgy at the time. Since then I probably used Mystic-G on a thousand places I signed up at.

I probably should come up with a new one but all I can usually think of is stuff that's either easy to forget, too long, too confusing, or too abused.

My name is Channing. Most of my family call me Chann. I'm the man. "channtheman" was oddly enough taken so the 1 is just a number added after it.

Been done before but it's been awhile, pretty much a copy and paste from the old thread:P

This is very long, and very true...

Maybe 10 or 12 years ago (hard to remember exactly when) I was working up North at a local TV station in the production department. We handled all the local news and all the pre-taped public relation/service shows that are required by law to show... most of them you see early Sunday morning, if you even try to watch them:P

One of the shows was a show called "Close Up On Aging" with a host who we will call "Tony". It was a half hour show and Tiony and guests would talk about things related to senior citizens. I won't go into details about content, you can imagine the boredom...

The host "Tony" would come in an hour before the taping each week and come back to the control room with a sheet of paper containing the names of the guests and thier "titles" so we could type in the info for graphics during the show. Here's where the fun begins...

"Tony" was always forgetting names (he was well into his 80's and god bless him he kept going) He would come back and say "hey Teddy" one week and the next week say "hey Billy" to the same person... funny/cute.whatever.

I worked there for six years... the man saw me every week, and he never remembered my name. One week, he came to the control room, there were a few of use hanging and talking about things, he comes right up to me with a big grin, hands me the paper with the guest names on it.....

Wait for it.... wait for it......

He pokes my chest... and says..... "solid..... that's pretty solid... there russ" I'm not kidding, god save me... he left the room and everyone broke down laughing... so shortly after that, I made the name solidruss, if you see it out there on the internets, it's more than likely me. It never had anything to do with Metal Gear Solid, nothing game related.

*end of Story*

solidruss
Thats a really nice story thanx made me laugh in the morning.

I work in a library and I added the Miss as an indication to the fact that I am indeed female. I had already used it as my username, previously, elsewhere.

It began when I first bought an Xbox 360 and signed up to the onlive service, I couldn't think of a username/gamertag so I clicked on the ramdom tag. After clicking through a few pages I found 'MushroomWig' and it just stuck with me ever since. :P

No, don't listen to her.

You have Donkey Kong,Diddy Kong,Dixie Kong, and evenDonkey Kong Junior!

And since Alli seems to be a giant WoW addict, I believe DK also stands for Death Knight. So it could be Beautiful Death Knight too! o.o

(it's definitely not Denmark tho =P)

I dont like death knights =P

I don't know if he's lazy, but he is pretty stupid (hence the guns thing which I mentioned). Anyways it's pretty much over from him I think, next year is his last chance. Sucks for Washington they gave him that MASSIVE contract.

Oh yeah. He definitely put all his focus on offense. Hopefully Washington can turn things around, and turn back into the Bullets.

The Latin term " non compos mentis" is often used in referring to someone who is blind drunk, while "compos mentis" indicates you are still conscious and of sound mind. As a career boozer and an environmental consultant by profession, I figured it was only fitting to call myself compost (recycled waste as fertilizer)-mentis.

It was the name of my character I created on PSO on the DC: pink pigtails and white hot pants. I used to get fairly wasted and run around and be flirtatious with all and sundry. I started receiving lots of requests to meet in real life from 14 year boys (who in reality were probably 50 year old men), and decided to stop after spending 2 hours on Ragol counseling a father of 3 on his marriage problems. Things just got a little too weird.
