Your user name, why did you pick it?

[Inverse Skies]

There are many interesting user names out there on this forum, but I'm curious as to why you chose yours. After all, it does represent you to some degree.

I'll start off by saying that mine came from a graphic design project back in highschool, where I drew a scene of a mountainside in front of a lake (if anyone has played the boat-deck levels from DKC3 that's the scene I was trying to replicate) and then turned it upside down and put it inside the lettering 'Inverse Skies' and I've used it ever since.

Another one I remember is a cousin of mine used to be known as 'take a bath' as he was struggling to think of a name when his mother yelled at him to do just that.

Anyway, what is the meaning behind yours? I'm curious to know

[Jenny Creed]

It's a tribute to all the awesome Jennys in the world, mostly Jenny Sparks and Jenny Currant. And I stole the last name from Sabretooth in order to get the right initials. I'm kidding, it's just my name. But I love it.

 

[MelziGurl]

It's one of many, but this one was picked up from work. My boss and a couple of others called me Melzi or MelziGurl *shrugs*

 

[MindBullets]

Because I have the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away.

 

[ZeroMachine]

My friend once described my skills at the Megaman Zero and X games as "machine like" so I usually switch between ZeroMachine and Xmachine wherever I go.

 

[Syntax Error]

As for my user name, it's based off one of my most common errors when learning a new programming language.

 

[MirrorMonkey]

[Bofus Teefus]

When I was a wee one, I was at a Taco Bell or something like that with a couple friends. This homeless gentleman came up and started babbling at us. The only clear syllables we made out were "Bofus Teefus" so we figured that either it was his name, and he was introducing himself, or he was complaining about his remaining two teeth. He became kind of an inside joke.

Well, my full name is Rotten P. Buttersworth III, but I decided to shorten it to Rottenbutter.

 

[gaffles]

A friend and I were playing a game, and we needed a name for the character. We couldn't think of a good one so we started looking around the house and we found waffles. We decided that this would be the name. Unfortunately when he was punching this in he somehow got a g in there. We decided that this sounded funnier, and have used it every since.

Arrgggh I remember those words popping up on the graphics calculator whenever you screwed it up, and some of those equations were hard to type out!
