What Does Your Username Mean? (3 Viewers)

[Richard]

Andrus is my first name. When trying to come up with a username no epiphany was to be had. I drank a lot back then. In-fact... a lot of us did. PUI was a thing.

Glad you went with Andrus. Little Pee Wee might have left you open to all kinds of questions.

For those who don't know, Pee Wee Whitewing, Andrus' father, was a steel guitar pioneer.

well i live in albuquerque which we are know to be the hot air ballooning capital of the world...well back in the day i did a lot of stuff in the ballooning community. I became the crew chief for the AOL hot air balloon team and landed up traveling the united states to different events hence where the gypsy comes from...should make sense now

I was told "Pigs will fly before you get Tina to go with you to the ABQ International Balloon Fiesta".

Little did they know:

The theme of the line I was on in my fraternity was based on Marvel characters. I was a physics and mathematics major and had a reputation for being pretty bright and nerdy and so I was named Beast.

If I am not mistaken it was cool to change everything that begin with The to Da. Maybe it was during the time of Ditka and the Iron Era.

So I became Da Beast. I thought it was pretty cool at the time but I have clearly outgrown it. Maybe I will change it to someday.

Stealth for hidden
Matrix for computer hole

I believe I thought myself to be a 1337 h4x0r back in the glorious late 90s. Probably couldn't hack my way out a paper bag these days ?

When I first signed up online years ago... my name was taken. And I didn't want to be my name to be NAME38742189731985793857983046983402118927549384765947639875! So I found a way to use my name. So anywhere I sign up I try to use this version of my name.

@CantonLegend have you told us yours yet? I don’t recall.

So there was a semi-pro football team here in Canton that was called the Canton Legends. I had a few guys playing on that team that are well known in the football circles in Ohio. One guy in particular who is now the head coach at Paul Brown’s Alma Mater. I wanted to represent the city I’m from and the name is fitting for the history established here.

My username was the personalized plate I had on my first car. It was a blue ‘65 mustang fastback. First used it when signing in to BBS’a back in mid 80’s and don’t ever run into “username already in use” when signing up to forums.

I am coarse, rough, irritating, and I get everywhere.
