Re: Explain your User Name
Mine is based on a stuffed gorilla my mother sent me in college for Valentines Day. He is white and can hug you with his large velcro arms. I was surprised at the size of the animal and decided he needed an important name, so I named him Horacesqueeze.
He now stands guard over my dvd/shrinking vhs collection in my living room.

Re: Explain your User Name
A Pavement song. Sorry.
I used to use "RKelly" as a username cause well......that's my name and everyone was amused by the R&B artist connection, but I don't really wanna be associated with someone accused of having sex with minors (also I believe he peed on a couple of them).
Maybe I'll change back if he gets acquited.

Re: Explain your User Name
For those who haven't read the two other threads where i wrote this..
A couple of years ago i worked at this company for the summer that sold computer stuff and electricals to resellers. I'm skinny and pretty scruffy and we had to wear suits (despite only e-mailing and using the phone). Gradually my scruffyness took over and my suit jacket became a cardigan, my shoes into sandles or trainers (sneakers?), while still in shirt and tie. I was standing at the photocopier one day and my boss looked over and called me Rigsby, after Leonard Rossiter's character in Rising Damp. People called me that there for a while and my girlfriend thought it was cute so it stuck for a while. During the sticking time i joined some boards inc this one, and well, there you go. People i actually see face to face rarely call me it anymore unless they're feeling particularly warm or cute towards me. I quite like it, but it's wierd if my friends use it too much.

I always preferred "The Rise and Fall of Reggie Perrin".

Re: Explain your User Name
Yeah, Reggie Perrin was awesome. I have this really great feeling about the series where opened that shop 'grot' i think, where they just sold complete rubbish, but that's the series they've not repeated over here and i only remember it from being a very young kid (i'm 28), really would like to get a copy of that series. I think my dad has a serise or two. Lovely stuff.

Re: Explain your User Name
I have some pals from way back who call me Crazy Mikey C. (the last name's Council by the way). They would call me on the phone and I'd be like: "hello?" and they'd be like: "Crazy Mikey C.?"
I don't know. I kind of like it. I dropped the crazy. Nutty.

Re: Explain your User Name
reggie perrin. that gives me warm memories of when all NZ's tv programming came straight from the bbc.
my band is called the body corporate. i also work for a council where some of my collegues work with apartment body corporate, so the name is kinda ironic.
my real name is Stephen

Re: Explain your User Name
Doesn't this thread sort of remove the cool and obtuse nature of all of our wacky user names.

Re: Explain your User Name
The first male Starr in my family came here from England around 1660, his name was Comfort Starr. I think Comfort is a pretty cool name for a fella.
