Where did your user name come from?

A member from this site's golden age of yore, one Mrs. Peach, called me "Parsifal" one day. I liked it so much I adopted it as my username.

After the knight?

Yes. I don't remember what conversation prompted her to call me that.

What was your username before?

Robosteve, which was also based on something people started calling me, albeit on another forum before I joined this one.

I am a crab.  Called Jimmy.

Ever seen a crab shimmy jimmy?

MRS SARTI: You’ll have Andrea believing two and two makes five any minute now, Mr Galilei. As if he didn't already muddle up everything you tell him. Only last night he was arguing that the earth goes round the sun. He's got it into his head that some gentleman called Copper Knickers worked that one out.
ANDREA: Didn’t Copper Knickers work it out, Mr Galilei? You tell her.

Don't forget that you were also OsamaBinLaden for a while.

I was registered on a survivalist forum before I came here with the same name. I wanted to use "Maccabee" (which means "hammer" in Hebrew and was also a militia group that fought and won against the Greeks) over there but it was taken. So I decided to use my favorite Bible verse, Luke 22:36. I also wanted to convey that I understood the context surrounding the verse so I used "35-38."

Fuck you and your hammers 

When I was younger I brainstormed writing a story about an undead cowboy from the wild west, cursed to roam the earth seeking vengeance against a witch who shot him in the back, leaving a wound that literally never heals.  (You can probably guess about how old I was and what life event I had recently endured...)

Anyway, he was to be named Sirius Clay, which in his condition would make him "Dead Sirius".  Which was of course a play on the term "Dead Serious".  Which kind of matches my boring deadpan tone.

Not sure why that came back to mind when I was signing up for this site though...

I like RocketSauce because of Tenacious D's unrefined use of the phrase, and putting it to song...

And no one seems to use it... so I don't have to add numbers to it... Although, I did have to suffice for "RocketSauced" on one game... Which still isn't bad because it offers a sense of... action/description... the act of getting rocketsauced...

I just looked up RocketSauce on Urban Dictionary... I'd say that is relatively accurate... I don't know about the whole reptile thing...

My username is Username. It came from username. My current username is John Davis. It came from John Davis.

My username over 'there' is Username.

21st and a half century.

My favorite video game character of all time

I hope this isn't Chris' blood.

As for me. Literally the best game ever made by anyone ever in the history of the multiverse. Ever.

Ah, interesting facts.

Evar makes me think of something Lord of the Rings related

Well, most of the inspiration of it comes from a cartoon I watched as a kid, can't remember what it was called. Not that I particularly liked the show, but I thought that the name of one of the characters would be easy to modify.

Ah, it was called Edgar & Ellen, So I modified the name Edgar (which itself was taken from Edgar Allan Poe according to wikipedia).

Mine comes from a project in college where I fubared a hybrid rocket. It took off with such force, dwarfing the other students... however, just as quickly about a thousand feet or less brutally self destructing itself. Somehow Babyhighspeed come into play by joking around word play... eventually it became a running joke for when I would epically fuck something up in a dramatic way.

I have also used it on drag cars/motorcycles at times as well.

My name was given to me by my mother. Lance Laurendine. I feel sad for those of you who are ashamed of your name to begin with or don't have the guts so to speak to use your real name.

UzZiBiKeR came from my mountain bike that I use. intensecycles.com It is a uzzi swing link.

We don't use our real names because this isn't Facebook. I'm sorry they convinced you that you should tell the world all your personal business.

It's a pretty gay name too

Why do you think these aren't our real names?

Yikes, that is in interesting Google search... Please be a Poe...

Oh, he's pretending to be a 65yr old pedo.

I regestered for something for work many years ago and the username I was assigned consisted of the first letter of my first name and the first three of my last name.  Later that day, when I was at home, I found this sight and my intoxication level at the time prevented me from being creative.

I think you made up for it with your endless zooming skull avatar lol

I think Oscar Wilde gave me this name, back when we changed names often and I put my name to poll.

Hey Gayer!
