explain your Username!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Only]

Jerry Only is the bass player from my faveorite band, the Misfits.

 

[Manitou]

Manitou - just an RPG character name I came up with - not anything to do with mountain bikes. The funny thing is, on these boards, I usually just use my first name, last initial and figured I'd be better off with a "pseudonym"...

Manitou is from North American Indian legend I believe and there was a cheesy '70s horror movie of the same name

My name is Eric Cochrane. Get it?

The cool thing is I though you just had some cool Indian name, I never bothered to really analyize your name. I thought your name would be pronounced

[BigWig Will]

When I was a wee lad I was really into Bigwig and wouldn't shut up about them. My moniker is from previous websites, I'm less of a fanatic, now. I still dig them, but I haven't gotten the new album yet. Which I really want to. Oh well.

*Notes* Name change could be in the future. Stay tuned.

[P. Aaron]

It's my name.

 

[Desdenova]

From the lyrics to my favorite cover song ever, Metallica's version of BOC's "Astronomy". The spelling...well, I'd seen it 20 different ways, and I picked from the lyrics site I most trusted for accuracy. Personally, I thought it was cooler as "Destinova" but uh, this way gave me something to ramble senselessly about.

I think the real issue here is "explain the use of the 16 exclamation points in the thread title and justify the use of each one with a sentence not containing the words 'really really really really really really .... really excited'"

Mine is the name of my old band, which has been my internet pseudonym for a long time.

 

[ricktunesmith]

I was in a folk duet (played an upright bass) called the tunesmiths. I started using that username and never changed it. Actually, around the area I live, I just known as Rick the Bassplayer.

"Shazbot" is originally the mild swearword used constantly by the alien character Mork, played by Robin Williams (before he did movies),on the sitcom "Mork and Mindy" inthe early 80's, or possibly maybe late 70's.

 

[Marley's Ghost]

As you all know, Marley's Ghost was Scrooge's deceased partner in Dicken's "A Christmas Carol". I feel kinship with him since I am old enough to be almost dead and have been known to be a haunt.

Marley's Ghost was also my Prog Rock cover band which I foolishly quit in 1978. We did an ass kicking version of Yes' Roundabout
