And you don't look a day over 440.
I'm sorry. It was just sitting there. I couldn't help myself.


Mine...When I was a kid I loved Jim Stafford, but Wild Wood Weed was too long to type.

Mine came when I first got broadband, and had to create a username for a second email account - one that would be seen in public. I didn't want a "second hand" where you had to be allocated a "version number" in order to make it unique. Everything I tried was already taken, so I used a suggestion function, which asked for two interests and hobbies. I entered "the weather", and "vinyl records". Up popped the suggestion "vinylweatherman", and it was unique, no version number. So I clicked "use this". I liked it, so it is now my handle almost everywhere on the internet. Where this is too many characters, I use a contraction, so on GoneGambling, I am "vinylwm" (many probably figured this out already ).

I even nabbed the domain "vinylweatherman" for my first website

Maybe I should trademark it, as Bryan has for "Casinomeister".

Yes! You should! Your wisdom & valuable info/opinion has always been respected and greatly appreciated. I say Go for it!

Mine comes from being part Mommy part Machine.

I have 6 kids, which I had in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009 all by c-section ...2006 and 2007 were slow years for my uterus.

Also, there is a song that my kids sing that has a line that goes like:

"She's a mean, mean MommyMachine, she never lets us do a thing."

I used this username at one forum and it just stuck I guess and now I use it everywhere. MM, MommyMachine, Josephine...it's all the same anymore.

All I can say to this is God Bless you! As a mom of 2 I lose my sanity!

My name is a Girl Scout Cookie.

Lived in Philadelphia. Born & raised city gal. Moved to the burbs and the delicious caramel coconut GS cookie known as Samoas in the city was marketed in the suburbs as Caramel Delights! My hick/stick friends made fun of me about the "bogus" Samoas until I proved them wrong and showed them a box with the name I purchased in Center City.

pfffft! High Maintenance! So not my style.

Awesome topic Gremmy!

[pianoman]

Play me a song mister...

Probly the oldest member here I reckon...
Born in 1944.
Started having piano lessons the year before Billy Joel was even born. What became his great hit was MY nickname long before he composed that billion dollar song.
I got paid too.
Pianoman? Entertained the drunks for 20 years...

But starting my lil website in 1998 with a name like Pianoman?
No way this Aussie Piano Advisor could get found in web searches with millions of Sheet Music buyers looking for that song title.
Ol Pianoman here rethunk it - changed costume and became "OzPianoman" instead.
Would they ever find the website?
(I Still DON'T Sell PIANOS) Who knows how it happened

Google liked me. Yahoo liked me.
Things were different then; Now you have to pay em!
Curious people phoned however - and/or they sent me emails from Alaska, Ireland, San Diego, Darwin, South Africa.
Was becoming world famous mate.

Hey! Now there's an idea !!!
What about "The WORLD FAMOUS Piano Advisory" ?
Seems that actually worked ...
Even "ozpianoman" is now a big name on Google. (try it, you'll see)



And here in Oz?
Well mate - here they just call me Pianoman

[mattsgame]

Mines pretty much self explanatory, first name and well I'm game to try anything once

 

[colly]

Regulars know my passion for animals= colly comes from the beautiful old border collie cross I had when i started gambling- her picture was my avatar at WOL. Alas she is no more (but lasted to the ripe old age of 17yrs!) Now have three rescued beasties but it would take far to long to change the name and far to long to type it!

Cheers'

[Rhyzz]

Very long story behind mine but in brief, I used to do alot of online gaming, namely Counter Strike, so needed a good unique name that people would remember. Not a clue how I thought of it but if you google Rhyzz, you'll find me and some Japanese singer person who came long after me! I'm the original and have proof - I own rhyzz@hotmail.com, oldschool! Haha.

So so wrong. On so many levels.:


By the way, I like the peanutty sandwich thingies. I honestly don't think the Somoas are as good as they used to be.

 

[felicie]

LOL but you gotta admit it was kinda funny.

I dont think the peanut butter sandwichy ones are as good as the Savanah's were but somehow managed to choke down 3 boxes all by myself this year.

Oops and mine came from french meaning 'to be lucky'
My real name means 'vegetables' lol no really it does.

Try re-reading it with Mr. Humphries voice in your head. Not nearly as icky that way.
