    My Initials are MES, but that was taken, so I just added another S and made it Mess. Plus it does fit as I am quite a messy person!

    On other places I am MrMessy for similar reasons. I would like to change mine here to that, but never mind :)

    My friend and I used to run a homemade space RPG way back in highschool. His main character was always Blackharon, and mine, Mi Who. This was fine, and went on through college and all the way until Halo came out for Xbox.

    I got sick and tired of the Chinese racist jokes thrown my way over that damn MiWho gamertag.

    So I did the only thing one could do in a situation like that. Steal your best friend's character! :cool:

    Def: Kelly down - Referring to the condition that occurs when the kelly is all the way down, so drilling progress cannot continue. A connection must be made, which has the effect of raising the kelly up by the length of the new joint of drillpipe added, so drilling can resume.

    Worked in the gas drilling industry for 3 years and thought the term sounded cool. Added "Another" to the beginning while thinking of original band names.

    Because every type of wood I liked to be was taken :mad:

    Cool wood, big wood, mr.wood, Woody, Woodrow, redwood, hardwood

    My one Asian friend always called me Woodrith and that obviously is more unique, so I guess it worked out better.:cool:

    First/middle initials (which I go by irl) and first three letters of my last name. Don't remember how I came up with it, but it's my online tag for everything and almost never taken.

    Aw, that's sweet. Merry Christmas everyone.

    Because I read a topic about Infinity the very day I joined TA, so it popped in my mind. And 89 is the car number because Infinity was already taken!

    I came up with this name when I was deciding a name for my +plus account when registering for Eliminate Pro. I couldn't think of a good username so I started using the names of companies to see which ones would work. All of them were taken. I tried samsung and that was taken. Then I made Sambobsung and the rest is history.

    I chose mine because I love iPhones and their operating system is called iOS.
