the meaning behind your TB name?

[Khronic]

When I was past my 39th birthday I started dating an 18 year old college student. The current user name was part of my first email address that she helped me set up.

Without getting too specific, it had to do with the condition of a certain part of my anatomy and the engorged state it was in for pretty much the whole three years we were together.

Spelling it with a "K" is simply a nod to my Greek friends and their heritage.

I've really enjoyed this thread so far and look forward to the continuing hilarity.

 

[kesslari]

I'd swear I posted on this thread, but I guess not...

Kesslari is close to but not quite my last name.
When I was playing percussion I recorded a CD for Waterlilly Acoustics called "At the Court of the Chera Kings".
The producer was a crazy genius - records everything live to 2 track (2" wide 2-track) with an all-tube signal path.
He records in cathedrals... Incredible acoustic sound.
Crazy like a fox.

Anyway, about 4 am on one of the nights we recorded he got into a rap about me and invented a tribe (the Kesslari tribe) that were my ancestors - nomadic archer-musicians and smugglers of hashish and underage Burmese girls along the Silk Road.

He started calling me Kesslari. My bandmates in other projects started calling me Kesslari.
The name stuck...

 

[etechstan]

I'm an electronic technician and my name is Stan so etechstan.

 

[arbitrary]

eh...mine doesn't really matter a whole hell of a lot.

 

[MilkyMcMilkMilk]

I'm so white that my wife on occassion calls me milky, like the guy from the me myself and irene movie. I often call people douchey mc douche douche so i just thought it'd be fun to do something similar with the milky nickname.

 

[jamie'sdad]

I am the father of James (and also Henry as of 3 weeks ago, but didn't want to change my username)

 

[capnsandwich]

I needed a new AIM name so this is just the product of my stupidity, or creativity. Everyone laughed and liked it so I kept it. I use it for a lot of stuff now.

 

[JimB52]

My first name's Jim, and B1 through 51 was already taken.
Or, I like the connotation of high flying thunderous bombing runs.
Or I really like the quirky proto-punk dance band from Athens GA.
Or it's a tribute to a 1952 Precision Bass.
I forget which.

 

[Kwesi]

... Mom n' Pop gave it to me

 

[Shy Guy]

Well, my original TB user name made little sense to me after a while, so one day I was playing that Mario game on my cousin's wii and I remembered those little fellas, the shy guys. It was simple and sweet and comparative to me.

 

[dangnewt]

Name and last initial is Keith B.

I live in Michigan.

KeithBMI.

Yep...

I'm a variation of Keith's

dan g first and last initial
newt my city - newton

All small letters in honor of my modest playing ability.

Put together it looks like a mild expletive and a small amphibian (or former Speaker of the House)

 

[dangnewt]

... Mom n' Pop gave it to me

For some reason, everyone in Ghana thought that Kwesi was my first name (which wasn't a bad guess as I was born on a Sunday), but Obruni is nowhere near my last name.
