Username Origins

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

In a previous life I was a Russian baroness named "Katerina Konstantinova", who was viciously murdered by the peasants in 1917. I spent some eighty or so years on the Cosmic Plane, plotting my revenge, before being thrust back into the Realm of the Living. Soon, the hour will be at hand.

My Username: 100.00% self explanatory

My Screenname: Based on a voter in the current NY-22 mess, whose Brindisi vote got thrown out for writing the identifying mark "A Lincoln Project Voter" on his ballot.

[If my soul was made of stone]

The name of an album by Mr. Bungle, one of my favorite bands, in turn named after a yacht from Thunderball, the theme tune of which they had covered prior. My display name at the moment (and probably for quite a while, but apologies if you're viewing this after I've changed it) is just a simple synthesis of my interests in anarchist thought and feminist spirituality of the TERF-free type.

[Chips]

I'm named after the best food of all time.

[Chips]

What did you choose your username for? Is it named after a fictional character? Your political views? Just your regular first name?

Shockingly, my username is named after a character from Super Mario 64.

On an unrelated note, I played through that game recently. Great game aside from a few flaws.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

A man who did nothing wrong.

[S019]

Hoping Mike Madigan managed to win his speaker vote

[Ferguson97]

My name is Ferguson and I was born in 1997.

Very interesting stuff, I know.

[Sol]

From a similar thread back in the day:

Sol is a shortened form of Solarius, which is my username on various other forums. I'm not really sure why I didn't go with Solarius in the first place on here; it might have had something to do with the fact that I came to this forum from AH.com, where the majority of my posts were noobish timelines I had written when I was 9 or so.

I have no idea where Solarius comes from. I've used it basically since I joined the internet.

[JoeInator]

JoeInator was a nickname that my friends gave me after they told me that I did a very good impression of Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. The nickname has stuck ever since.

[Neptunium]

An radial active element.

[NOVA Green]

NOVA= play on NoVa from an old GF of mine from Fairfax County decades ago, well before Northern Virginia became a DEM stronghold (Was only something like purple when I joined Atlas).

GREEN= Green Party / 3rd Party supporter from Oregon, who had reluctantly voted Kerry in '04 after backing Nader in '00 / Perot-Green-Socialist in '92/'96, so was still a registered 3rd Party Candidate when until Obama started to hit the Oregon Primaries in '08.

[Former Crackhead Mike Lindell]

I like the name Randall

[Astatine]

An radial active element.

Welcome to the small group of users who chose unstable elements as usernames.

[Pollster]

I am a pollster.

[Torrain]

NOVA= play on NoVa from an old GF of mine from Fairfax County decades ago, well before Northern Virginia became a DEM stronghold (Was only something like purple when I joined Atlas).

Can I just commend you for putting one of Atlas/TE's favourite electoral regions, and memes, in your username, when you registered, nearly a decade before it became the forum talking point it is today.

I can only imagine what 2008 Atlas would have thought if they knew that NoVa would become such a point of contention in 2016-18.

*SKIP* - I addressed my username on the previous page.

[_.]

My given first name (very surprised it hadn't been taken with the seventeen years this forum's been up)

The more time I spend here, though, the more I realize I should've gone with something else (my account was made within hours of me finding the forum so I didn't put too much thought :/).

I'm partial to "Caneman786", "AAA786786", or "Abbasi786786" if the opportunity for a username change ever arises.
