I want to know what the real story is behind people's usernames.
i'll start. When i was 13, i was in a band called 'Reverb'
this in turn was used as my first yahoo email address, cos it was easy to remember
i also used it if i was joining forums or anything, also cos it was easy to remember.
my email address has changed now, but i can't be bothered to change my username here, even if it is shite.
I'm a fat cunt.
I used to be an amateur Delgado, but years of practice finally paid off, and I went Pro...
goal attack was my old band. I joined mono in 2004 to promote the band's gigs at awesome places like The builders arms and Cue pool hall. I thought we were going to 'make it', and having a username the same as the band name would make the name stick in people's heads. Obviously we didn't make it.
a play on 'the velvet fog' (mel torme) that evolved from a fictional found-object percussion rockabilly band i was in called sexdog.
it aint to me ST
I was listening to the Split Enz song ''Shark Attack'' and thought I'd be clever and make it Ark Shattack.
See what I did there?
I'm amazing.
Census, only child. Mum and Dad have to be Persons 1 & 2 as the owners of the house.
oh, i thought ark shattack was a pun on the old tv show ''art attack''
skip tracer was also a little indie pop band from melbourne. I think they had something out on Warm Cola records a lon time ago.
michael_horse: His real name's horse and he's built like a Michael.
ahhh. from what album skiptracer?
feels like n00b
my first name is daniel and my surname starts with z.
i originally typed in daniel z when i signed up, except it automatically closed the space. so danielz it is and forever shall be.
I was christened with this name by some good friends a long time ago.
See what I did there?
what, ruin a good band's name?

its the rhythmic thing. annE.
the helenA just suggests an opening annA
and at least you dont have a christmas reference as your middle name...
Like T S Garp, but unlike Thomas Sternes Eliot, I only got the initials.
I may change it to Tottenham Jervaise Honeysuckle, though. Suck on that, or better yet, make an anagram out of it.
My, that looks & sounds distinguished. But a bit poofy.
No-el, No-el, No-el, No-el, born is the Ki-ing of I-Is-ra-el...
I'd also like to point out that my middle name is not pronounced like the unlovely ''Hell-en-a'', it is ''Hel-ean-a'', rather.
I like it.
hmmm
yeah. thanks for that.
Anytaaahhhhme.
Why Tottenham? Don't they suck? Or do I just give my brother in law shit for liking them for no other reason than it's fun giving him shit?
It has a nice ring to it, I think. Do you think it's too soccer-y?
What about Teddington Jervaise Honeysuckle? I love the word/name Teddington.
Other words I like -
But I'm sure I've said that before.
highschool joke nine inch nails covers band/barber shop quartet called the half inch males > tinyman
Teddington? That's just another place in London, may as well go for Twickenham. Or Tuffnell. Or, er, Tooting.
Yes, but it has Ted in it. Therefore, better.
How so? The wine & painkillers must be kicking in...
Now Ernie had a rival An evil looking man Called Two Ton Ted from Teddington And he drove the baker's van
Actually, Monty, I think he came from Tippington. But a great quote.
''Then the crust of a stale pork pie hit him in the eye/And Ernie bit the dust''
Teddy Bears. Derrrrrrr.
I don't think I've ever written Derrrrrrr before.
He tempted her with his treacle tarts And his tasty wholemeal bread And when she saw the size Of his hot meat pies It very near turned her head She nearly swooned at his macaroon And he said now if you treat me right/ You'll have hot rolls evry morning/ And crumpets every night/ He knew once she'd sampled his layer cake/ He'd have his wicked way/ And all Ernie had to offer/ Was a pint of milk a day/ Poor Ernie (Ernie)/ And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west...
Tarts, tasty, hot, head, rolls, crumpets, layer...hits all the 1970 English comedy ''saucy'' buttons.
Did you google those, Monty, or are you slightly obsessive?
i just stumbled across a great page which pretty much explains where i nicked my name from. nice pics too!
