How did you all come up with your MWGLF screen names?

12Pack

Dyslexic b00n
From a prison tattoo?
A birthmark?
A childhood nickname?
Something you did on a stupid bet?

go...
 
It was my original AOL screen name and is based on a freaky Zappa/Beefheart ditty. I have used it as my handle for practically all forums I have participated in, except for the aquarium one. There I am "minime" because that was what we called one of my fish.

Mine was a carry over from HCGJ....I was stoned, at the time I was into the dead and Bob Dylan....in my stoned mind I wanted something I could remember...D=Dead, d+dylan, Bob is for "Bob dylan"

My FIO (fade into Obscurity) username is DesertBob...Maybe Mark could change my name to desertBob...I kinda like that one better :embarrassed:
 
Oh, you know, just my favorite part of a guitar. Has nothing to do with anything else.

The best origin story ever.
 
we have done this subject many times.
mongoose was my radio call sign (handle) while in the USAF. when i first started getting on the internet in like 2003 (ish), i tried to make my screen name mongoose, but it was taken, so i went with mongooz. and it followed me here from H.C.

It's a mic I used to use a lot for recording (it's the type Andy Johns used for the famous Zeppelin "When The Levee Breaks" drum sound). When I first started participating in forums it was mainly audio/recording related stuff so naming myself after a mic seemed like the thing to do. I've kept that handle for anything music related ever since- I use a different name entirely for German scheisse porn forums.

there's two "O's" in Mongoose, boys.
 
I needed a throw-away name that I could use to sign up on Harmony Central and check out the reviews. Turns out, it wasn't throw-away after all, but I've come to like it quite a bit.
 
I was chicken monkey at hcgj, which came from a Brian Posehn bit. I thought I'd evolve when i came to mwgl, plus there's a Bruce Springsteen reference there.
