Why are you using that username?

Sign in to disble this ad
I've been checking out some of the usernames that the Tb'ers are using and i've seen some real good ones and some scary ones.Was just thinking,what inspired you to come up with that u/name.I've got a 16 month old guy registered as Cody-Cruz and his brother a 8yr old drummer registered as Casidy.I wanted a personalised registration(numberplate)for my vehicle and i added the 2 together and Whalah- Codycaz.Now i'm curious,how did you get to yours?

A popular nickname of mine is Matticus. That username was taken so I went for MatticusMan, but that was also taken, so I added "ia" and voila!

+1. There a reason why I still haven't come up with a decent band name yet

Sloasdaylight was my line name on the high school step team, and has since become my alter-ego. It got started when my HS JV coach was ribbing me about being slow, and said that I was slow as day light, and that's why I didn't get to return kicks. Since then I kinda just kept it, but dropped the w.

Yea as a senior. When I was on JV I was 5'11 and all of 150 soaking wet, with about a 175lb max out on squat, so my explosion wasn't very good. When I was on JV I ran about a 4.6-4.7 depending on the day. By the time I was a senior my 40 dropped significantly cause I could actually accelerate, and that's when I got it down to a 4.45ish pretty regularly. I wish I'd run track at least one off season, cause after I did that I broke into 4.3 on a rubber track.

My Grandfather was a farmer with working dog's, 'Skitch' was always the term used for the dog to : pay attention to, to rile up, to set-on, I believe you use the term 'Sic' for the same.

I researched it, but not much luck, old New Zealand term apparently ; )

I'm a massive Iron Maiden fan, and Edhunter was the name of an FPS/compilation album they released in 1999 which marked the return of Bruce and H to the band. It also sounds really awesome.

Che = Chemical Engineer

bass = the thing we play

88 = I was a fan of NASCAR for a while, and Dale Jarrett drove the #88 UPS car. I got a kick out of that team, especially the "racing the truck" commercials. I even bought a scale model of the truck with the flames on the side. Good comedy there. Much funnier than other teams, so it became my favorite.
