What does your user name mean, and why did you choose it...?
Discussion
Not sure if this has been done before but I've been wondering about some user names and what they mean.
I'll start with me...
Swampy1982 - So, the obvious part is the year I was born, perhaps the less obvious part is the Swampy bit. Some of you may remember a road protester back in the day, hippy looking chap with dreadlocks and generally grubby looking. Well, before I became a respectable upstanding member of society I had stupid hair, silly piercings and was generally grubby... so was nicknamed by my mates. Now it serves as a reminder about the fun times I once had in my youth. (note - I now shower twice a day, and am no longer grubby unless spending a day with the spanners)
Tell us about yours...
(edit - have asked to be moved to the Lounge, my mess up, sorry)

I collected my first speeding fine on the Deerfoot Trail in Calgary.
And thus your user name serves you a timely reminder about the perils of speeding in Alberta?The Crack Fox said:
I am a countryside pest who moved to the big city to pursue a hedonistic lifestyle but sadly became addicted to class A drugs and frequenting gay clubs. I now live rough round the back of the bins.
/boosh.
This sound smore like a book than a user name! I'd read it/boosh.
I have a thing about lancia deltas. Not only the sporty ones. All of the gorgeous square rot boxes. At the age of 16 my parents moved to Scotland from Wales. At that time there was a series on tv called naked video, there was a sketch with a pathetic Welsh character called 'shadwell'.
I became shad. Bugzy was dead, but that's another story.

The main character in a book by one of the finest authors.
Albeit not his only name, but possibly his original one. We may never know.
Funnily enough I was shifting some books about yesterday and saw the two Dirk Gently books, well overdue a re-read (and wasn't it 'svlad'?).Albeit not his only name, but possibly his original one. We may never know.
Roger Irrelevant is a Viz character who says and does bizarre and pointless things. Though frankly if you don't know that anyway you're not worth bothering with.
