why THAT name??

post #1 of 79
Thread Starter 
i'd like to hear why some of you named yourself whatever your handle is. mine's kinda boring and obvious, as most of you all know that boomstick is in reference to 'army of darkness'. i had to think of something quick, and i wanted to have some sort of reference to movie geekdome. i'd like to know where your names originated from if you'd like to share. i've heard some of the reasons, but i'd like to hear more.

for instance, cheese biscuits??? i'd love to know where that started. do you love cheese biscuits or was this a pet's name?

i realize i'm at risk of sounding stupid in missing some obvious references, so i'm going to say 'fuck off' right now because a good offense is a best defense.

It’s a rather interesting story, actually.

Once, whist I was wandering through the most eastern wood, I came across a man of a most feeble and fragile state of being. It would be a lie to say that this man was forthcoming, so I shall not deny any such action or bearings, yet he was able to speak in such a manner that I and those around me (there were none) could hear him most audibly (as speaking is traditionally heard with the ears). He asked of me to bend over so that I was closer to him. I first thought this was so I could hear him better, but the truth of the matter was most contrary.

He punched me in the face with a lead pipe and darted off into the most eastern wood giggling happily as his day’s work had been completed, though his only profit had been his own amusement. By this logic, one would think he would be happy and content (not otherwise noted) hitting a tree with his lead pipe… as hitting my person provided no real benefit. It must have tickled his fancy.

I tracked the small man for several days in secret until I happened upon his home in the belly of a large oak tree. It was here that I found him sleeping on the night of August the Twelfth of that year. I broke the latch on his small window and squeezed myself through. It was a most narrow squeeze, sapping nearly all the breath from my lungs to accomplish the feat. Once inside, I made my way to the bedroom where the old man slept. I causally opened the door (as casually as one can open a door, for it is a rather formal affair) and I stepped over the threshold into the tiny bedroom.

Within I discovered two small person lie asleep in the bed. The small, quaint old man I had met earlier was indeed there, but next to him laid a rather beautiful and rather naked young lady. She was indeed most naked and without apparel, a fact which I noted and recorded for later use with my video camera.

It was then that I carried through with my plans. I awoke the old man and snapped his neck in half with a piece of birch. I quickly ran out of the room leaving the naked girl in my wake, screaming like some kind of hen. I’m not sure what kind of hen, but I am quite sure with myself (not with you or Burt) that it was most definitely similar to a hen. As I made my way out the front door which I kicked fiercely with my left foot (as my right foot is not as fierce or unyielding). Before I left through, I did take notice of the smell coming from the kitchen nook. I quickly ran to the open oven where I discovered three Cheese Biscuits laid out in the open. I took them and ran.

And now you know the rest of the story…

I've already played this game, but what the hell, I'll do it again.

My daddy always called me kitty, even though it's not my given name. It stuck and is my nickname to this day. The jammies part is an in joke between me and my friends because I worked from home for about a year and always delighted in being able to work in my pajamas (jammies).

There you have it, kittyinjammies.

My late father was Cuthbert Fett Brigden the 2nd, and it's a tribute to him.

Actually, it's just after Boba Fett, and the original 'Fett11878' is just with my birthdate added. Lame, huh? At least I had it before the AOTC boom.

I sometimes use my real name, though.

cool, cheese. now i can tell you the REAL story behind boomstick. i wish it was about my penis, but it's not.

one time, one day, in the fall, i think. i was running down the street. fast. i'm talking mean mofo kickin' it fast. i decided i'd do some flying side kicks while i was running just to practice my koo-wei-rrooth. i finally got to the point where i could kick the little ball part of the antenna on a geo metro WITHOUT HITTIN' ANYTHING ELSE ON THE CAR!!!! it was pimpin' cool. i tried my rage on a tree. it was a big tree. the size of grape ape. i super fast run sidekicked this mongoliod of a tree. AND NOTHING HAPPENED!!! can you believe it? anyway. i decided to walk home. (not as fast, though.) i suddenly, and abrubtly heard some chatter.

'boom!' the chatter said.

i listened close to hear where it was audiblating from.

'boom!' piped the high pitch chatter, again.

i finally figgered it out! it was a stick. a stick that could friggin' talk!! it must have fallen out of the tree after i super sidekicked!! i picked up the stick and looked carefully. it looked like it had a mouth on it, but i was never sure because it never spoke again. i still carry the stick with me at all times. i know one day, we will speak again.

Ever seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ? At the end while both the trucker and the girl are getting away, Leatherface does his famous "Chainsaw Dance" in the middle of the road as the hot Texas sun sets in the distance (fade to credits). It is my all time favorite scene in any horror movie. Hence "Dances With Chainsaws".

When I joined others seemed to have movie related handles. I had just watched Barton Fink. It stuck.

Whiskey roughly translates into "water of life". Blood, well, gotta have it to live. Me, I love both. And on some mornings, this one for instance, it's hard to tell which one is coursing through my veins.

Jesus, I'm boring. This is my real name. I guess I coulda been clever and gone for "Darth Werder", but nah. Besides(and this is not a dis towards anyone with nicknames), I feel that if I make a statement, any statement regardless of how stupid or intelligent it may be, I have to stand behind it.

The core of my name, Devil Unicorn, comes from an RPG I've been playing for a long time: Rifts. The Devil Unicorn is one of the coolest monsters, and one of my all-time favorite art pieces. I actually managed to snag the original of the creature's image, and I love it. It's pretty much my trademark tag now on the Internet, so if anyone sees anyone named Devil Unicorn out there, it's most likely me.

I'd post the pic for you guys, but I can't find it anywhere on this here Internet. Sorry.

I got my id from Jimi Hendrix. I love Hendrix and this song...

*******"Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple Haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down"*****

Well, that is the first part of the song, anyway.

purpled_hazed, have you ever heard the Stone Free - Hendrix tribute cd? The Cure's version of Purple Haze is my favorite off the whole thing. Hmm...I think I'll pop that one in now.
post #28 of 79
Avalon, I have that cd myself. I listen to it quite frequently. Jimi was so awesome. PM me some times.

Take care Avalon.

Hey, woman!

Boy, I don't know if it would be considered a misake or not. I DID pop in the cd and that cut keeps replaying in my head every waking moment now. It's just, well, awesome! Sexy as hell, too.

I'll do you one better.

I don't know why I never put it in my profile. I've been around long enough to feel pretty comfortable here at CHUD. Anyone is free to write me here, if you like.

Jack, I love the song Avalon. However, the best one on that LP, to me anyway, is More Than This. It packs a lot of emotion for me.

My reaction to Rules of Attraction was insane to say the least. I will use a quote from Shallow Hal (a mediocre film at best) to explain it.

"If you were in love with Wonder-Woman and the whole world thought she was ugly would you care?"

Well Casey is my name. My middle name actually, but it is what everybody calls me. and 74 is the year of my birth.

Ko is from the Hakedden. A few years ago when the Hakedden came out on DVD in Japan my friend got an import copy. anyway, shortly afterwards my friends who i grew up with and i were all together in SF for one of the guy's marriage. There we each were given a name from the Hakkeden since there are as many of us as there are of them.

Ko is the name i was given by by friends. It means filial devotion. I get it because of my complete devotion to my Kuyas or brothers (kuya is tagalog for big brother and all of these friends are Filipino except for me). anyway, i am suppossed to have the Japanese character tattooed on my right arm, but i just either forget or dont have the money, some day it will be there.

anyway, that is where my name name fo rhere come from.

I really don't remember what made me choose this. It has been the name i've used for everything.
My first email address was mr_krueger@yahoo.com.

'Mr.' - I guess because i am a guy.
'Krueger' - Might be from some movie i saw a long time ago.

If you can't figure out where I got my name. Just read Cheese Biscuits's reason. You fuckwit.

Mines pretty basic, its after one of my all time favourite actors best horror flick.
And no its not Edward Woodward.

I took the name Mutant X, out of my love and adoration for the character Havok from Marvel Comics who starred in his own series called MUTANT X.

My name has nothing to do with the horrible show that shares the same name.

My name coincidentally shares the title of John Cale's first solo effort.

It's not strange though. My kitchen sink hums the first few bars of 'Respectable Street'.

You must have narrowly missed being called Liu Kang by a few chromosomes.

Mine was adapted from the license plate of my first car.

Plus I really like Bob Harmon/Eric Red's The Hitcher.

And I hate Cher.
post #46 of 79
Mine came from Memento, in case you haven't figured it out. I try to use it everywhere, too, for consistency. I even managed to get a related hotmail address. Before I was Sammy Jankis, I was Mister Pink. And recently, I've been considereing changing to Vic Vega or Vincent Vega.

Trigun's own man of the cloth provided my name. His character was pretty interesting as well as his awesome Cross Punisher weapon, plus his last name starts with same later as my real name...

...and the irony is i'm neither a christian or religious, lol.
