Your user name...

Lounge Lizards Forum

What's in a name? (Sorry if this has been done before, I did a search )

Anyway, how did you get your user name (or handle as some of the posers say).

Kookaburra gave me the idea with the sig thread...

-HECK!

well why dont you tell us how you got your name?

i got mine because choda-boy is a character from the movie Orgasmo. it was a joke amongst my friends that i looked like him. and its stuck ever since for about a year now. i am simply known as chodder now (spelled mnay different ways) its dying off now and they have not called me it for a while

My name is Michelle, hence the last portion of my name is the first part of my handle "Chel" I love cats and raised kitten when she was orphaned at 2 weeks old. Fed her with a bottle and everything! So the last portion is "ktty" for Kitty.

My bad, forgot to add mine didn't I.

BTW- Chodder, lol.

Good ol' HECK originated as an homage to the downstairs neighbor on the TV show 'Friends' from the first few seasons, Mr. Heckles. In his last episode, the gang finds old yearbooks from Heckles where he found really lame flaws in chicks and used them as reasons to not date them (head was too big, small hands, etc.) In high school, I did the same sometimes... Anyway, my friends started calling me Heckles. I've grown out of it, but the name stuck. When I became a professional writer, I shortened 'heckles' and adopted the name 'Johnny Heck' for some of my work. And the legend was born.

-HECK!

My name is Heather and 15644 is my house number.

Whenever I see your name, I think of this one Ren and Stimpy comic titled "War is Heck." O yeah, did you say you were a professional writer? Are you popular like Ann Rice or R.L. Stein? If not i will be sure to look out for you.

- Does anybody think I should do "- Chodder" at the end of every post? Just to fit in with the crowed and be cool Yo

- Chodder

No no, I am not big time. Still struggling, cliche' as ever. I've only been printed in newspaper/magazines. Working on bigger and better things.

And I think everyone should add their name to the end of a message.

-HECK!

Well, I signed up to InReview to talk about the 5th Harry Potter book. So, I wanted a strange name that sounded like a witch type name. My husband goes nuts because I never use color names like blue, green, red etc. I use names like periwinkle, magenta, fuscia because I am very artistic. So I became Fuscia. I don't even like any shades of pink either.

Chodder, I suspected the origins on your name.

When I first signed up on INR, my screen name was KJPotter.
Well, seems that a lot of people around the board tried slamming of me for being a Harry Potter fan, and wouldn't see anything else.
So, I dropped the Potter... and kept the KJ!
KJ is my first name and middle name initials. Not too original, but, it could have been worse!

Amazing that people would pick on you because you like those books. I remember when you changed. I was worried about giving up my names for the same reason.

The only true personal attack you can make on someone who you've never met and wouldn't know walking down the street would be to cap on what the person puts out there, like a name.

I tried to think of an abstract name once and came up with 'Beardless Jedi'. I think Star Wars is cool, but I am not a weirdo fanatic. Anyway, whenever I said something, it was Yoda lover this, Chewbacca looking freak, blah blah.

If people try slamming a name it's only because they're idiots and are grasping for some way to get you down. I say bring back the Potter, KJ

-HECK!

yeah KJ, do what makes you happy. im happy with Chodder and im proud of it!

Chodder~

Well, I had some "special" circumstances for the change!
If you're unhappy with your name, I would suggest that you send Marc Flemming a pm.
Know this though, if you change your user name, all the posts that you have done will still be under the name that you are currently using.

Mine is my dogs nick name.

His name is Lee, but we call him Mr Big (coz he's a boy and he's big) and that got shortened to just Mr, then to Schmister when he's being cute and then somehow Schmiggens.

Whidden is my last name, David the first.

I am either very brave or very stupid to use my own name in a forum.

But I have not been stalked yet. If I had it to do over, I would choose Kansas Law Dog , which is what they called Wyat Earp in the movie Tombstone.

That would have been cool.......

Where's my time machine! I want to go back to May and change my user name.....Or I could fork out the dough and be a gold member.

Rebel had a thread on user names, but it was in the Matrix forum, not the general forum. And it was a long time ago, I don't think he would mind.

Oh, okay. Well, no... the user can not change the name.
That is something that only the admins can do!

Schmiggens,
I read that you got your name from your dog.
I did as well. He is actually named "Max" but you can never put in just three letters. He was already named when I got him so I added the "well" as a "middle" name. My favorite number is 5, so....

There are mods... who moderate specific forums on here.
There are Senior mods... who can moderate anything (plus other stuff)
There are Admins... they can do whatever they want!

But of course... all the staff knows our responsibilities. We work hard to make this board a good, clean and fun place for people to come and enjoy their time here.

yeah well im unsatisfied! i wish for you to give me a free gold membership right now or you will lose me forever!

Very funny Chodder... you can take THAT up with Marc, since it's out of his own pocket that he pays for a lot of stuff on here. No free gold memberships. You are already getting the use of this site at no charge.

it must cost a lot of money to run a big site like this. i feel bad now asking for a free membership...

Well, I can't answer that for you... I know that it's not cheap. And Marc recently did a server upgrade, and that was pretty expensive. Anyway... that's why we have the memberships. They are very cheap... and have some great benefits. And, we're working on some more! You should consider it, if you spend a lot of time on here.

i come here everyday, but i dont need an upgrade. the ads dont bother me and i dont have the need to find out whats in the gold membership lounge. thanks for trying but i didnt fall for it :P

"larke" is my last name. i stuck the 2000 because i always use "larke2000" if possible. many years ago i tried to setup an email account using just "larke" but it was already taken. so i figured there would be no way for there to be 2000 larke accounts. so it worked. and now that's what i use when i set up accounts. that way all i have to remember is passwords wherever i surf the net.

i want to know about pavementoyster. he vanished and i have not seen him for a while. it is the coolest name too. does anybody know his story?

I believe he's Australian... That speaks for itself...

Just joking... I liked the name also...

My name is pretty simple. I'm the father of a little girl, and I'm quite proud of that fact...

My username is a loooooooooong story, but in short, "Gabo" is what my wife calls me, and "man", well, duh...

I don't know, Grant... we might need to "peak" under that skirt you wear, just to make sure that you're a man!!!

It's called a kilt, and it's nothing to be embarassed about

Ummmm... Grant, you're not from Scotland. You're not even Scottish!
So, if you're wearing a Kilt... it's still a SKIRT! back at you, mister.

^ Not Scottish? My beard says otherwise! no, okay, so, I'm not

Nope... I know better!!! Now, whip off that skirt and get some jeans on!

You know... I thought that you got your name on here saying, "I like to 'gab'" Guess that I was proved wrong!!!

it's quite simple kris, he's a gabor fan. now as to which gabor? that remains highly debated amongst scholars.

I loved Green Acres and Nightmare On Elm Street 3, if that's any indication

Nope... I talked to him on IM's all the time. He told me where it's from!

Cute story... I will tell you that much!

I got the idea for my username from my mother.

LMAO

I thought it was the person whose identity you assumed.

-HECK!

LMAO. Good one Marc.

same here...

"No sir, i dont like" if you can find out where i got this quote from i will post my picture..... you can trust me...

Chodder, is it that qoute from that High Anxiety movie with Mel Brooks?

i like oranges and I thought it would be cute to put tangybut sweet. because i get hot fast and I blow up on ppl and usually have an attitude. But im very sweet and mean well. So there u go. tangybutsweet.

Hint: my quote is not from a movie. it is from an old cartoon. 1996' i think

I'm an idiot and thought I came up with a new idea, of course not! Every idea has been thought up once before. I was corrected by mmaheshwary. As I stated in the LOTR thread, I recieved my nickname while being a firefighter. I was in a very small town on break with about six or so fellow firefighters and some local rednecks started static with us, so we all started boxing. Long story short, I knocked a guy down and went to pick him up to place him on their stupid jukebox and so I grabbed him by his shirt and jeans. As I went to lift him up, his clothes tore off and since he was already bloodied up (hey I didn't do all the damage) everyone thought I messed him up royally. So after that, everytime we got a rookie on our squad, the seniors would tell the newbie not to mess with me because "he'll tear you up"! The nickname has stuck with me for almost seven years now.

chodder, I know what it is, and it made me laugh like crazy when I watched it... I didn't need any hints at all... I knew from the original post, because I've been saying it to myself for the past week.

It's from Ren & Stimpy. (right??? Well, that's how I remember it...)

So where's my prize? And it better be good.

"Cuz if it isn't......." - What's this quote from? (Gaboman, no hints! )

I am (err was...) slender and I love to shop. I spend. SlenderSpender... AkA MaRyJaNe ( =D)

"Do You Like Pie" has a crude, somewhat offputting second meaning, which few people are familiar with. For the sake of everyone elses safety, I think I'll leave it that way. Doyoulikepie75 is also part of my email.

I seem to remember do you like pie coming from the Rock in wrestling and yes i do get it.

Lodge came about simply because where I live lodge is for some inexplicable reason the short version of my first name as for Bo well that came from a friend of mine the football team I support bought a player called Erik Bo Anderson and as my second name is Anderson he started calling me Bo Anderson all the time, as time went on I just started to get called Bo.
So I am either called Lodge or Bo hence the daft name.

well i made mine up. on several other forums i go by prince of shadows. i just have a thing for spooky stuff, and whats more freaky than being stalked through the shadows?

OH right because for minute there I thought your name was an explanation of what you did in you spare time.

You know you're a redneck if you fail to think about the odds of winning a fight against men with axes, hatchets, chainsaws, hoses with enough water force to knock you on your can for a few days, several tons of truck power, and oh yeah... what address did they say that fire alarm came from?

That was cold Kookaburra! I have never been called a redneck!!! Man, I should
not have wrote that I live in Boise Idaho! I mean, no offense, really... because even though I was a firefighter, don't get the wrong impression! I do NOT look like some grizzled mountain man. I am less than thirty and still pretty young looking and even younger at heart! Besides that... WE WERE the ones with the axes, hatchets, chainsaws and water trucks!

My bad! I was in a hurry when I first read that insert of yours Kookaburra! My apologies if I roughed ya'll up at all! I see, you were calling the rednecks.... rednecks for roughing it up with us! I understand! My bad! I do agree, of course there was about double their amount so... numbers wise they thought they had us beat! By the way... if a redneck ever asks if ya'll if you're "cutting wise" to him... just say yes and start swinging!
Lessons of life!

Someone call the meds! I'm wounded

Here I come Elizebeth... oh.. my life is passing before me now. That's it.. been nice knowing all you.

Holy cow TearUUp! You just gave us an example of why you got your nick! Too funny.

Earned that nick name, didn't he?

Um, thanx? Hey, I never said I liked my nick name... for some odd reason it has just stuck by through the years... hmmmm I feel a self evaluation coming on!

Nion implies the need to take care to see things in their larger context, to see the bigger picture. It is the link that we have with our higher self, who is above mundane matters and can see our lives from a different perspective.
So that's about why i used this name.Nothing special about it

Wow, that was deep!

damn, i didnt think anybody would figure it out! in the attachment below is the picture of Choda-Boy from the movie Orgasmo. he has something intersting on his head and that is why i am scared to post it because some mod will get mad, but you guys peer-pressured me into it....

its not really me ok! it was just some stupid joke that stuck.

-The_Choda

Nice, Chodder, I'm scarred for life! I don't feel like talking anymore! Kidding!

I didn't think it was too bad...man, not that many people have jumped up in this forum!

They have something to hide!?!? Probably not, they just haven't found it, as I among them did not at first!

Hmmm, I don't know if anyone else knows this, but I will reveal it to you guys. The word 'chod' is slang in hindi/urdu for sexual intercourse, just like the word 'f***', and the word 'choda' is past-tense for, well, the above.... Now that makes me wonder, did the film-makers choose that name deliberately?

TearUUp, sounds to me like you are not Mormon. Are you? Just curious.

I think more than likely, the hindi language got it from the movie.

Yeah, that was cold! Gotsta watch the slurs!

i am just a complete matrix fan that graduates in the year2007 thus matrix_fan_07.....

Makes sense! No real story then?

Let's not jump to conclusions...could be college!?

i thought everybody knew this.... a chode a penis wider than it is long. i know this aint sex ed but the people have got to know. why do you think i hate my name so much. i just used this name as a joke because i didnt think i would stay here. but this is a good place for matrix covo. so i ended up staying and now im stuck with the name chodder... please dont think im some imature pervert. my friends are the ones who called me chodder as a joke.

Booooo Chodder!!! Ban Chodder!!! C'mon man...I don't know about everyone else... but I'm not THAT shallow!!
You have TearUUp to BackUUp!

So, chodder, how do you PRONOUNCE your nickname? Is it CHOAD-er, like the word 'chode' suggests, or is it "CHODD-er". The double-d's (don't think that way...) in your name suggests a weak "o" sound, so that's why I asked... (If one has a dirty mind, they might find hidden humor in this post... Unintentional, of course...)

think Toad. but replace the T with a Ch which gives you Chode. then think DIRT and take our the T . Chode dir.... then you combine it to get Chodder. get it?

Okay, okay, okay!!! I dont want to read about the Chode! anymore! Let's call him Chodder like we are supposed to!

Nope, sick stomach!

I am just glad that my nick name is what it is! If someone had ever tried to name me after any part of anatomy... one punch ine the eye...coming up!

Has-been fireman! Now I sit at a desk for an Internet company doing Web Hosting and such. Brawns to brains! Still though...

Naw! I didn't forget... but, someone yelled at me for wearing the loincloth and all, plus I have been calling passerbyes "stupid fat hobbits!"

Why does it suprise you that I am working for an Internet co.? Oh...I see, stero-
type me because of my demeanor, huh? Kidding!

I'll tell you what though, it's eggshells around me here! My computer often makes me mad...intentionally!

Rise of the machines! Nah! I'd bit(h slap my computer back into the stone age! Arnold ain't got nothing on my backhand!

Mmaheshwary is gonna be a Guru? Like a little old man sitting crosslegged on a Tibetan Mountain giving out cryptic advice? I do THAT here too! Mountain goat and all!

The Matrix has had me since jump!
