I thought it was because you were very old

[Hueij]

My name comes from one of Donald Duck's nephews and I needed a screen name quick and I worked as a cartoonist for the Dutch Disney magazine at the time, so...

During the EC2000 football tournament I noticed that USian posters spelled the name "Cruijff" as "Cruyff" so I changed it to Hueij.

MrFun, if you think about it, the irony of your name is actually pretty damn funny, and hence your reputation for unfunniness is undeserved, and so the name is well-deserved.

hmmm . . . . . .

ok -- if you say so

I found my username on my birth certificate one day.

[Sten Sture]

Jumpin' jehosephat and sweet mother of all that's real - that is one old thread!

Some great user names out there.

By the way, Sten the younger's corpse was desecrated by the Danes; my thanks to England for getting me a little payback at the world cup.

[MosesPresley]

Moses Presley was born to a Hebrew slave in Egypt. The Pharaoh heard a prophecy that a baby would grow up to rock the masses. As the Pharaoh hated rock n roll and the sin that was associated with it, he ordered that all baby boys be murdered at birth.

Moses Presley's mother had a plan to save him. She hid him in a basket by the Nile River. The Pharaoh's daughter found Moses and took him home to be raised as one of the family. Moses grew up as an Egyptian prince, but he never forgot he was a Hebrew with a love for rock n roll.

One day an Egyptian gang boss grabbed a slave's headphones from his head. The slave had been listening to "That's Alright Mama" on his walkman. Moses Presley saw this, lost his temper and beat the gang boss to death with his guitar. He had to run away. He ran to Memphis, Egypt, where he stayed at the Heartbreak Hotel. Moses Presley was depressed and was feeling sorry for himself, so he drank and smoked his woes away. One night he heard a deep booming voice. It was God speaking to him from a burning cigarette butt. God told him to stop crying all the time. God told him he must spread the word of rock n roll to the people. Moses Presley was now a mission.

Moses Presley returned to the Pharaoh and rocked the house. He played his top ten hits. The Pharaoh thought it was like a plague to his ears. The slaves seeing this screamed loudly and wanted to hear more, but the MC said that, "Moses has left the building."

The people followed him into the desert. Finally after months of travelling, they came to a mountain.
It was Mt. Billboard. Moses Presley climbed to the top of the mountain and wrote songs with God. He was up there for a long time. So long in fact, his people began to become angry and started to worship false gods, The Golden Fab Four. Moses Presley was enraged and threw his songs at the Golden Fab Four, but it was to no avail. The Golden Four stood and the people continued to worship them too.

Epilogue: Moses Presley in the long run prevailed. He kept a place in his people's hearts. One day God came to him in the bathroom and said it was time to go. Moses Presley had left the building for the last time. Thus a phophet and a teen idol was born.

My user name serves as a joke of irony:

I am not fun on here, and I am not funny either.

Gosh, and here I was thinking that maybe there was supposed to be a "Buns" on the end of your username but you left that out because you didn't want to get banned.

My username is a rip off from my favorite Peter Sellers movie.

[Guynemer]

"Dead on the field of honor, September 11, 1917. A legendary hero fallen in glory from the sky after three years of hard and incessant struggle, he will remain the purest symbol of national ideals for his indomitable tenacity of purpose, his ferocious verve and sublime gallantry. Animated by an invincible faith in victory, he has bequeathed to the French soldier an imperishable heritage which consecrates the spirit of sacrifice and will surely inspire the noblest emulation."

So reads Guynemer's inscription in the Panthéon in Paris.

[Goingonit]

MosesPresley - reminds me of a number in Andrew Lloyd Webber's play Joseph.

My user name is shortened from "Jalfagoingonit" which means nothing. I got it from a friend who used it as a player name in a computer game.

Playa del Carmen- a place on the Yucatan peninsula.

[Mr. President]

An in-joke between old friends. I was "Mr. President" because I was (actually I suppose I still am) American, and we would make with the black humor about nuking Iraq. I only remember it now because I like the way it sounds.

Once there was a reggae musician called Mr. President, but he only made one music video and no place sells his album . . .

[Q Classic]

the exact reasoning i don't remember-- it's been lost in time (i've had the thing for what, five years now?)

has something to do with Qs. (obviously... you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer...)
IIRC, it's got something to do with Bond Q, ST:TNG Q, and a Q in my first name, so.
