How did you choose your username?

[Michigander4Dean]

I picked Michigander4Dean because I live in Georgia, and I supported Gephardt.

[flamingyouth]

1. 1923 silent film starring Colleen Moore

Who is pictured in my avatar

[tuvor]

I thought that was Clara Bow

She's a cutie!

[flamingyouth]

22. Clara Bow had very curly red hair

And was also a cutie!

[Gothic Sponge]

14. She was a Flapper!

That sounds derogatory, but it's not.

[flamingyouth]

23. Not one bit derogatory!

:D

[LisaM]

20. Ah, the late lamented wild movies before the Hayes code...

nudity and everything. At least toplessness.

[flamingyouth]

24. Exactly!

There's a great book on pre-code Hollywood called Sin in Soft Focus.:thumbsup:

[Guy Fawkes]

4. I love the parliment

[LiberalVoice]

5. Mine is pretty self explanatory.

I'm a mute neo-con.

[Chovexani]

6. It's a Romani word

Derived from Armenian, that means "witch". I picked it because that's what I am.

I also found out this weekend that it is terribly hard for other people to remember and/or pronounce. :silly:

[flamingyouth]

26. It's a very cool user name

I wondered what the background was. I'm one too. :)

[Inland]

8. Only one available. Ashamed to say I tried every name in "The Hobbit"

[jpgray]

9. It's a secret

Only she who fits this diamond slipper can solve my life's riddle.

[Stew225]

10. Since my name is Gomer

and I was born on the Fourth of July I went with Stew225.

[tuvor]

11. On newsgroups I used the name

The Undisputed Voice Of Reason.

"Tuvor" sounds like a vaguely foreign given name, no?

[Chovexani]

18. I swear I read your name "Tuvok"

But that's probably because I'm a big dork. :)

Welcome to DU btw. :hi:

[tuvor]

33. Thanks for the welcome!

You read my name better than I can read yours, I'm sure :)

[miss_kitty]

25. i was doing admin at hypocrites.com

i am miss_kitty over there. my pal kaos was a member/admin there... told me about DU and even though it was a link on the admin page, i never came here. when kaos started spoofing me, i came to get relief from that here, and signed on as mlle_chatte, the french for miss female kitten...he was only messing around because he was ditching the internet.

i would change to miss_kitty, now that hyps has closed down, but i would lose my posts

[Ready4Change]

27. The day I said "This is not my Republican Party."

.

[PassingFair]

43. I am SO proud of you, Ready!

Got any hints for us as to how to turn others from the dark side? I really am having a hard time living in a country where half the population is aiding and abetting these criminals...
What's in a name?
I post on democraticunderground, but I never became a member of the dem party until this year. I considered myself a liberal independent.
I'm telling people "Use your SENSES for heaven's sake. The media is LYING".

[kixot]

28. I found mine in a dusty trunk in my friend's attic.

After blanching it in some boiling water and a fresh coat of paint it was good to go.

[Xipe Totec]

[JLuckey]

31. Survived a head-on train wreck.......

Just Luckey I guess.

[Ilsa]

32. I drew four tiles from Scrabble...

I have no idea why I chose this useless name. One friend who trolls here calls me "Ilsa, She-Devil of the SS" or something from some r-rated movies.

[Bossy Monkey]

34. At the time, Cheney was still in hiding, so it was wildly funny for about

a week. Since then, I've gotten to enjoy, over and over, every time I mention Columbia or SC, "Oh, so you've disclosed your location, huh?" type comments. Huh-huh-huh huh-huh

[Doohickie]

35. Well, my name is Paul H..... so..........

On some other boards I go by "Doohickie", which is a corruption of my last name as pronounced by a four-year-old in the Sunday school class my wife teaches.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

36. Because I'm

a MEAN, EVIL MOTHER FUCKER and it fit me.

[stranger_with_candy]

Believe me, I was plenty surprised to find this name hadn't been taken.

yak

[BigMcLargehuge]

A region in the land of C.S. Lewis' fairy tale books, The Chronicles of Narnia.

[Beware the Beast Man]

44. Mine's from Planet of the Apes

Straight from the Sacred Scrolls :hi:

[DS1]

45. Quake2 gaming name - dirtyStarr

the one came naturally :shrug:

-------Begin long story---------
Our clan's name was dirty, we fought dirty, we even killed each other, such a lawless crowd of drunks - skilled drunks - cleaning up shop on this and that game server.

Our names were something to do with or reasonably dirty.

dirty|panties
dirty|laundry
dirty|dancing
dirty|asshair
dirty|ballzitch
dirty|harry

I got in during the Lewinsky testimony, Ken Starr was the dirtiest motherfucker around. Hence dirty|Starr.

(and if anyone's seen us play and wondering why I'm not using the precise clan name format it's because this server will blank out dirty if I use the open/close brackets.

Gawd I talk a lot sometimes.

[jukes]

46. jukes:

"the fictitious name of an actual new york family, followed in a '60s psychological study through several generations of crime, addiction, institutionalization, & suicide..."

i *am* the Gentleman Loser.

also a dancehall; ref's to my martial arts training (dance) & the years i moonlighted as a bouncer in bars.

was the name of protaganist in a novel i've abandoned.

[PartyPooper]

47. I'm introverted and usually avoid large crowds.

Except at DU. I feel like a small fish in a small pond here.

:D

[Baja Margie]

48. I screwed it up

and typed my real name into username and then it couldn't be changed.I wanted it to be Marjettreeday, a name coined for me by my sister when we were kids, part of USHA languge we made up. USHA stood for United States Happiness Association. We even had our own USHA National Anthem, with words, and an USHA flag - a capital U*. She was the USHA King, I was the USHA Servant. There were good people, the USHAs and then there were bad people, the UGAs.


Pretty weird.

[scottcsmith]

49. Mine took a lot of thought

It's my name, Scott C. Smith. For some reason I've always used my real name or a variant of it for message boards, e-mail or Usenet. I guess I'm not creative enough!

[flaminbats]

50. life sucks?

:thumbsdown:

[Warren DeMontague]

51. I snagged the URL impeachdubya.com in June of 2000

I had a baaaaaad feeling.

Everything went from there.

[Rhiannon12866]

52. I'm confused. You supported Gephardt, but said 4Dean?

I also supported Gephardt, and my friend worked for him, but he had little support on DU. I was very disappointed, though my first choice was Dennis Kucinich. I am realistic, and am ABB, but was totally disheartened at the anti-Gephardt sentiment on DU. My friend no longer posts here, she was so disappointed about DU.:-(

My screen name is because of my incomparable cat, Rhiannon.:loveya:

[bookfreak]

53. I am an absolute book freak

I've loved reading since I learned how at age 4. I have hundreds of books....every wall of my bedroom has bookcases lined around it. One of these days I'm going to get my MLS so I can become a librarian.

[auburngrad82]

54. My grandma's name was Pearl and she made jam, hence...

No, wait. That's not right. I graduated from Auburn University in 1982, hence auburngrad82.

[onebigbadwulf]

55. Because I look like a wolf... a big bad one. ;)
