Well, mines originates from carbo-cation....o-chem! There was this rather "big" individual in my Organic class who just bugged the crap out of me. So I started calling him carbo-fation! And so I started using this name for every board I joined! .....................

[Bodie The Cursed]

Bodie is one of my favorite places to visit.. It is an old ghost town about an hour from Mammoth Mountain that was once a vicious old west mining town. The winters were harsh, the people were fierce and crude, and the town was likened to Hell on Earth.

I began using Bodie the Cursed as a name for a character in the game Ultima Online that I have been playing for a good 8 years now.. That name in turn transfered to these boards..

 

[CookieMonster]

Mine came from that kid's show seasame street. I looked at other board names and couldn't think of anything witty, so I took on the persona of the blue fluffbag that eats lots.

... and you also like to repeat yourself, you now have posted this three times in this thread.


Oh, and mine, guess ...




Nope wrong, my mother gave me this name.

 

[olvidadero]

Mine comes from my favourite movie, Labyrinth. Olvidadero is the Spanish name for the "oubliette" in the movie. "Oubliette" is also the title of an X-Files episode, so I thought it was cool.

Ah, but he had a slight modification each time.

 

[Boba Fett]

Olvidadero is the Spanish name for the "oubliette" in the movie.

That's odd. I thought it meant "forgetful" in spanish. At least that's what this mexican was led to believe.

 

[olvidadero]

Well, "olvidadero" is not a word in Spanish. They came up with it for the movie (don't really know if someone used it already for anything else). "Forgetful" would translate to "olvidadizo". That proves how different is my Spanish from yours
