    What does your TA username mean?

    Surprisingly I've never seen this topic here, although the search sucks and I very well could have missed it. Sorry if there's another thread. Anyway, just curious how everyone came up with their username or if it means anything special. I'm most curious about kijib, I'm thinking he just accidentally sat on his keyboard when he was filling out his username? Anyway, I'll go first.

    Boardumb is the name of a song by a punk band called Bigwig. Not too many people that are into punk, but definitely one of my favorite bands. The song is about how the lead singer is constantly on tour, and his girlfriend calls him all the time and is like "I miss you so much!". And he's like "oh yeah, I miss you too..." but secretly he actually misses his surfboard more. I've totally done that.

    And that's how I got my username. It's obviously a very cool story, bro. Anybody else?

    Ok here's my name:

    About 4 years ago, i found the combination "tzu" and i thought it was pretty cool. I put "tzu" and my first 2 letters of my name (al) together to make tzual. I've been using this name since.

    When I was 9, I signed up for VMK, a disney online game. Because I thought the name was cool back then, I used "superskateman", also because the name lies - I'm not super and can't skate. Though I am a boy, my original name lied in every part, but I'm not even going to go there. That account turned into a mule for tricking people.

    In 1997 I was viewing the website spam.com and noticed they had a number of items for sale with a picture of the can on it rather then just a nasty blob of meat. I wound up using it for some random web thing that needed a username and I've been using it since though the meaning of the word "spam" has clearly changed over the years.

    What's "tzu" mean?

    Yeah, figures. I tried like 10 different ways to search it here and on Google, but oh well. So you're not going to enlighten us with your username story?

    I made mine up, not wanting to create another "supercooldude47" type of username, then realized there's a small media company that shares the same name. Whaddayaknow.

    I can't stand those usernames... or any that resort to using numbers just because the original name was already taken. Do these people have no imagination whatsoever?

    Yeah I hate that too.

    Thanks for the links, I was phrasing it differently when I Googled it so maybe that's why I didn't find it. Anyhoo, feel free to let this thread die into oblivion. Thanks for the answers. :)
