Why did you choose......

Just go to www.homstarrunner.com you'll understand

I love that site! Go the Cheat!

[Louisiana Night]

I've never heard the name, outside of the Bible. I did know where it came from though.

[Jeysie]

Just because I'm too lazy to retype it, I'll copy and paste from an old post.

It all started way back when I first got Net access in November of 1996. I opened an account with AOL (yes, you can all either laugh or radiate sympathy in my general direction, depending on your disposition), and needed a username. I knew I wanted something more unique than just my name or initials, and didn't have lots of random numbers after it, but all of my childhood nicknames were... well... decidedly less-than-flattering. (The only two that weren't horrible were "The Brain", which I feared would set up an incorrect first impression, and "The Walking Computer", which would have been amusing, but was too long.)

Finally I somehow hit upon "Jelsie". J from my middle name Julia, and "Elsie" from my first name, as well as a friend whose middle name was Elizabeth and sometimes liked to go by that nickname. Well, "Jelsie" was taken. And so was "Jelcie" and "Jaycie" and so on, until I finally hit upon "Jeysie". It wasn't taken, it sounded kinda neat, and it meant absolutely nothing. Perfect!  And since I'm a creature of habit (not to mention desiring to keep a consistent online "persona") I've just used the nick for every online thing I've done that needed a username... and it's never been taken so far.

I've been using the same "post signing off" method for all this time now as well, for similarly boring yet quirky reasons.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Awww . . . geez. There's already been a username thread? Well, I feel stupid .

And I would never of guessed that you got Jeysie from Elizabeth (even I've never gotten that far ). The only nickname I have using my middle name is Lizzy-Annie, which sounds like a Southern christening gone very, very wrong

I didn't recognize where it came from... darn name transcripts

I do have other usernames for other places, but giving them here would be kinda missing the whole point of having them

[koko_99_2001]

Well, when I signed up in Yahoo, I needed a username...came up with Koko, named after the siamese cat from "The Cat Who..." books by Lilian Jackson Braun.  Eventually, we ended up getting a siamese whom we named Koko...and with my name being abbreviated to Cat...it all fits!  Whoo hoo!

Cat

[koko_99_2001]

Don't forget Rhett!  Can't forget that one Colin!

And Alex, you're not kidding when you say that you've had the name Drunken Chinchilla forever!  Before I disappeared about April 2003, I seem to remember a guy on the forums named Drunken Chinchilla...and when I reappeared in February(ish), you were a_c_saunders...(sad how I remember this, isn't it?)

Cat

[Yonkey]

OMG deja vue!

 

[Mary Jane]

Oh yeah, Cat calls me Rhett, and I call her Scarlett. We started our own little version of Gone With the Wind when we found out that we are both from the southern parts of America.

I just have it cold... o wait there is another explanation for my name... it's in that thread somewhere too ; ) ...lol, i post it again if i have finished reading all new posts ; )

[daventry]

My first game was King's Quest 6 in 1995, i played it on my Cousin's Computer.

I loved that game so much that i had to have a Computer.

I played many Sierra games after that and other non Sierra games, but KQ was my all time favourite top on the list.

In 1999 when i got Internet, my first Username was Daventry.

So till today no matter what game i play, KQ is my all time favourite. Especially KQ6

So my Username is: Daventry.

[racx_00]

lol, i post it again if i have finished reading all new posts ; )

You must have a lot of new posts to read, if it takes  you, being a resourcefinder and such, that long.

[B'rrr]

i still haven't finished reading all new posts cuz my time is limited here (although you might not have noticed it ; )

[Louisiana Night]

B'rrr still posts more than me, and he doesn't have the time to  post.  

Oh well, I'll just try to beat his score, at Hexxawand.  

[B'rrr]

i mean if i had the time i would post about 3 times as much as i do now  

...btw good luck, hope you'll succeed ; )

[Say]

wow, and I thought I had no life


well, I dont wish I had more time to post, but more time to work

i still haven't finished reading all new posts cuz my time is limited here (although you might not have noticed it ; )

If your time is limited, you need to prioritize. Like what I did today, I had to check manual payments, an automatic (global) payment (but I still have to check every payment individually), and check and approve entries into the bookkeeping program. The manual stuff had the most priority, so I did that first, and then I did the last option and left the global payment just lying there.
