How did you think up your Apolyton username?

Beef. It's basically just a well-made hamburger, but with an Olde English name. They serve them at Alfie's Inn. (I always have mine topped with jalapenos, grilled onions, and tobasco sauce, plus a bit of salt.)

Alfie's is great! In fact, when I go home for break I think I'll have to go for lunch sometime

My name is a shortened version of High Tower, a nickname I had in high school. something to do with me being really tall

From the book " Naked came the Sasquatch" by John Boston.

He captures the sasquatch and teaches him how to cook hot dogs and also gives him heart medication.

Very funny read.

ACK!

When my cousin and I were younger we used to dabble in Visual Basic...we'd make games and pretend like we were going to have a company one day and market them. We called ourselves "Orange Software" because we hated Macs. When I first got AOL I had to pick a username, and this was about the same time we picked a company name, so I picked OrangeSoftware...only it was a maximum 10 characters...so i went with every other letter of Software and got...

Orange Software --> OrangeSfwr

I had it as my name for most everything, but people kept spelling it wrong or calling me "Swiffer" so I shortened it for simplicities sake...

OrangeSfwr --> orange

it's what most people called me anyway...orange...

With me, it's sort of obvious. Ernesto "Che" Guevara was one of the leaders of the Cuban revolution is a hero to millions of youth around the world. Che, btw, is ponounced, "shay."

Chegitz is a Yiddish word, pronounced "shay-getz." When said about a gentile, it means thug, a**hole. My Jewish comrades, being the great people they were, decided one day to start insulting me in Yiddish. When they got to shaygetz, my creativity kicked in. I said, "Shaygetz? Shaygetz Guevara, yeah, that's the ticket." My comrades groaned. Soon after I got a job at the school computer lab and I wanted a psuedonym for my email, so I transliterated shaygetz to chegitz, to make the phonetic pun visual.

My first username was technophile, since I always played as Zakharov in SMAC.

I haven't played SMAC in quite awhile, so I changed to loinburger since loinburgers are delicious.

You traded so gorgeous name as technophile for loinburger?? That was your big mistake, man.

Hmm...

Started with 'Garlic' when my brother spontaneously said "Hey, garlic" when he meant to say "Hey, Eric". I don't understand either.

I then tagged Captain onto it when playing the original Team Fortress (for quake I), but one day misspelled it as Capitan. I was tired, but decided that the change was for the best.

The next thing to change was the spacing: I decided that Capitan Garlic was too much effort to type when compared to CapitanGarlic.

I've since kept it, because I know that no one will be insane(stupid)enough to try and steal this handle. It's one way to be sure that I'm unique.

I think I had something in my throat and just sort of gurgled it out. Though I don't really remember when that happened.

i never noticed that it was Capitan, rather than Captain...weird...

[orange]

Yep. He's two years younger than I and will be going to my rival school (U of Montana) next year. Though my roommate did register a gimmick account last year after seeing how much time I spent on apolyton.

[Blisterz]

I lived on the street for most of my teenage years 14-20, where everyone uses a nickname. One summer when I was around 16 I got scabes really bad (quite hard to get rid of when you live on the street. I got them so bad I had scabs all over my hands, and my shoulders. I was the a lot younger then most of the other people I lived on the street with, and that summer everyone started calling my Blister boy. Then It got shortened to Blister.

A friend of mine met a girl and decided to move accross the country with her, so he showed me how to set up an e-mail account at the library so I could keep in touch him. When I tried Blister for my Hotmail log in, it was taken. So I tryed a few things, the first to not be taken was Blisterz. I have been using it ever since every time I need a log in name on the internet.

I am expecting at least one "ewwwwwwww"

[Frozzy]

Wow... Very interesting story Blisterz

It's not "just a hamburger." It's a bloody good hamburger!
