Hello all!

I just was wondering about some of the user names of the people that frequent here. What inspired your user name?

Mine is pretty simple and not very creative. I have a twin sister and I was the second one born, so that is where "twin2" comes from.

How about everyone else???

    I was at this gig in Finsbury Park. Actually, I was at two. The first one, you can hear on the pearljamlive.com site. The second one, you can't. The second gig was on a Sunday and PJ were supporting Neil Young. PJ hit the stage, after 4 Non Blondes, Teenage Fanclub and James, at around five o' clock. It had been pissing down with rain and Dave A had been periodically sticking his head out from the back and waving at people while Stoney was to be seen frantically puffing on a cigarette. When the band came out, Ed had the legend FUCK IT ALL stuck on the back of his green jacket with velcro. The bits of tape kept falling off.

    It was a great gig for me because I was near the front and I got quite a lot of the set sung to me, eyeball to eyeball. A result, really.

    Anyway, Edward chucked these carrots out to the crowd and one nearly brained me.

    I came up with my name...well because it kicks ass. My friend actually gave me the idea. And now my name is The Almighty, "Thunder Balls". I was gonna pick either Ball Crusher, Anal Warrior, Groin Slicer, Granny Slapper, or Pubic Sweat, but Thunder Balls appealed to me most.

    uh huh.
    your stories make my username seem a bit dull. :(

    my real name is Emmi.
    so now you can conclude where my username comes from.. :p

    well, even though I'm sure it's legend already.....heheheheheh.....ISN stands for inverted supernova.......I guess it just ties in with my love of science fiction etc......and the fact that a supernova would cause a black hole, but if it were inverted, it would be the opposite of a black hole......and I like the idea of being the exteme opposite of the ultimate negative.......so anyway, ISN has kind of stuck with me - I've been accused of being I am SataN, and whatever Jesus had on the cross, or a twist on SIN, but it's very prosaic I'm afraid, nothing as interesting as that.......still, I'm quite fond of it....extremely fond of it.....Finsbubble......I guessed it was a concert at Finsbury Park, but I wasn't sure what the carrots were about......now I'm even more confused, why was Ed throwing carrots into the audience.....?
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    I always wondered about yours ISN. That was interesting.

    Well, I love the song In Hiding and I particularily like the line from that song, "I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened". I figured since I was joining a PJ board, my name should have something to do with their music and I wanted to stay away from being a song title, figured I'd just end up as In_Hiding194875247. So, just thought Being Enlightened would be sorta original and as well, I think we all are being enlightened on our journey through this life, are we not? :)

    I wondered about yours too, partner in crime. Good choice and I agree with the "being enlightened on our journey through this life".

    For many years I considered myself a bibliophile. This was until I had to give my books to the public library because I couldn't see out my windows. But, anyway, I wanted to create a comic strip superhero. I thought one day I would learn how to draw comics. I thought at first Bibliophile Bella, but a co-worker at a bookstore just came up with Bibliobella. If you ever see the front cover of "Day in the Life of Italy" it's a little Italian girl with red tights and black shoes. She is Bibliobella as a young girl. If you are ever in Macrina Bakery on 1st Avenue in Seattle there is a painting of a woman with dark eyes and dark hair with bread in her hair. She is Bibliobella as an adult. I just kept the name as my tag because it flows like ravioli. I think FinsburyParkCarrots has a great story behind his name. I thought he was a gardener.:)

    there are a few mixed meanings to my name.
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

  • depopulationINCdepopulationINC Posts: 2,074
    Mainly its a shot at major corporations....that they really only care about the bottom line, not the population.

    I remember a speach at work..."I am not going to bullshit any of you. We are here to make money. That is our number one goal. We hope you all do your work safely, but in reallity the biggest reason we care about safety, and adopt safety programs, is to keep our insurance rates down. We are after profit margins and growth."

    another reason is society in general, and how we will market anything. You see major landmarks and what not simply being exploited to make a buck. The Eiffel tower in vegas for example. I just feel like these kind of actions essentially sell our souls.

    Yet another reason is simply the apathy i see in modern society. Its like we are a population that isn't even there. Few truly care about anything. Its like the un-populated population.

    I don't know if any of this makes sense. In my head, it does, but whatever.

    I know what you mean. A lot of it has to do with the chase after the mighty dollar bill at all costs. I was pretty niave about the whole thing but my husband is very street smart and he has pointed a lot of things out to me about "the system" and the way things work sometimes. Health insurance is a joke in a lot of ways and I learned that it's all a money game to them. It is very sad when you think about it. Makes you wonder about people's morals and values and if they actually have any. I think it makes sense. Creative name by the way. Yours was another one that I was wondering about.

    Oh yeah, and it would be kool to start a company speciallizing in depopulation.

    I would leave a card on them saying..."Sorry, you have been deemed to have no benifit to society, and are therefore to be DePopulated. Have a nice day, and sorry for any inconvenience"

    :)

    I may require some sort of councilling, but whats the point, it has never worked in the past.

    "gluten" is because i am gluten-free. which means i can not eat wheat or wheat by products. and since 'gluten' was already taken as a user name i added "919" for nine inch nails

    Pacifier was a song by one of my favourite bands, Shihad, who later temporarily changed their name to Pacifier.

    plus that is kind of my role in life.

  • reachdown12reachdown12 Posts: 693
    I was trying to decide a name, my two favorite bands being Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, and after resolving I couldn't choose between the two, I went and thought of Temple of the Dog, one of my most favorite projects/albums to come to know and love, and chose Reachdown, because it does describe me in a sense, and is one of the many great songs off that album. The number 12..it is of high significance to me. I view the number as it is..the number of Destiny. A number with a great mystique..and also something else so great that number is tied to...and that is how reachdown12 came to be. :)

    blue in the face is a song by alkaline trio, a hometown band that i have followed for about 7 years and have recently become decently big. anyway, i havent been into most of their newer stuff but their song Blue in the Face is an incredible acoustic song about life, love and stupid shit we do (ie drugs)...it was the song i was listening to when i joined.

    all these stories are soo cool, i never thought about investing so muhc thought into your name. sweeeeeeeeeet stuff.
