Origin of your nick?
Just curious where everyone came up with your nicks from. I of course used to be a huge fan of the Ozzman, Mr. Osbourne. The passion has faded with age, but the nick has stuck with me. I make it sound like i'm very old, but only 25, hehe. Just not as much into music as I used to be.

I got mine from Planet of the Apes. And for fans of The Simpsons, I took it from the musical.

I dunno, HAL9000 is a computer, seems like a logical geek name to me. I have another nickname and it stems from being the youngest in my family and my last name beginning with a "Z". So to this day, my friends still call me baby zee. Even have a personalized license plate on my car "BABY Z".

My nickname was given to me by a former employer and good friend. My original nick was not available when I signed on with PCMech, so I used the one given to me by my friend.

Mine is a contraction of my first and last names. Iv'e used it since first joining AOL way back in the early ninties. It's the same every where I go if it's available.

 A bit sordid. As a teenager, which, sadly, I haven't been for 18 years now - I played Dungeons & Dragons. My character's name was "Mothucker", which was an abbreviated version of something else, which I'll avoid mentioning  . "Moth" was just a further abbreviation that prompted fewer objections.

Hi PSTJ,
Human barbarian fighter. Took him to level 9 or 10, before I started DMing a compaign of four years myself. A buddy of mine also had a similar 'grunt' type of character which he simply called "Gutz". I liked that one.

Well, back the first time when I played warcraft two on a LAN, the nick I chose was "Orcman" because I always played orc. Then I added a 2 to make "Orcman2" because I thought that was cooler. Then when I finnaly got internet access (AOL) my SN was Orcman2. Then after about a year of that, I got bored of it and didn't like having a number in my name, so I came up with Orcmonkey. So there ya go. Orcs from warcraft, and monkeys, cause hey, why not?

I used to stay up late with either reading , studying or working late into the dark with computers. So, moonlight is what I usually see in the night and 'burner' is I guess 'someone' who 'works' late into the night, like a candle 'burning' in the lonely night. It's of poetic meaning I guess

A buddy started calling me Edave because I used to sell on Ebay quite a bit.I really cant remember why I added the 123,but I think I used the name on another board and they required so many characters in the user name,so i just stuck a 123 on it.
I would like to drop the 123,but I think the rules state that you can't,so I guess i'll live with it

Back in my younger days, my friends and I would frequent a particular bar. Actually several, but this one more then the others. We had a running joke with one of the bartenders since I seemed to be able to consume more brew than the others. He bet that I couldn't put my head under the tap and drink the keg dry. My friends would all say "The Old Man can do it" and the bartender would always back down and buy us a round since he figured that would be cheaper in the long run. The nick just stuck since I was the oldest in the group by a few months.

In my earlier internet days, I signed up for an Excite e-mail account but all the names I tried were taken so I started putting two name combinations together and came up with it. Sounds more like the name of a Lawyer though.

Piasabird is a beast of Legend. It is an Indian Legend. One was noted by historians on the bluffs along the Mississippi River.

My name is borrowed from the nave of a river CALMIUS ( also spelled KALMIUS ) from Ukraine. Believe it or not, but it's true. The city where I lived had a Ukrainian name DONETSK (sounds like don't ask) and the "state" or area was called DONBASS (which sounds like Dumb Ass) Really it means Donetsk Basin.
Now I live in United States.
