The origin of my sceenname.

**Whitehouse** · August-01-10, 05:42 PM

I have always been fond of actor Paul Whitehouse.

Me? The 13nd duke of Wimborne?

Cracks me up everytime!

Or Rowdey Birkin Q.C.

First came to this site almost 10 years ago when looking around for information on the Leland House hotel. It used to house people for military entrance processing back in 1987, which is how I ended up staying there. I took the name Sarge because I was a Staff Sgt. when I got out.

Back in the 70s there was some Detroit radio personality who often referred to his wife as "sarge." Always guaranteed a laugh. Who was that?

I know my typing,,writing is a diffrent than others,,but I never want anyone to pick the way I am,,I'm just me...I apologize for for that....I picked Stipes for my cause of the song *let her cry* from Hottie and the Blowfish.I always loved REM back in my youth...Back in the 1991 I would have a really shi**y day and put this song on.. I always loved the lyrics to this....Hope you always enjoy life as I do Pam................

This flower is scorched
This film is on
On a maddening loop.
These clothes,
These clothes don't fit us right
I'm to blame
It's all the same
It's all the same

You come to me with a bone in your hand
You come to me with your hair curled tight
You come to me with positions
You come to me with excuses
Ducked out in a row
You wear me out
You wear me out

We've been through fake-a-breakdown
Self hurt
Plastics, collections
EST, psychics, fuck all
I was central
I had control
I lost my head
I need this
I need this
A paper weight, junk garage
Winter rain, a honey pot
Crazy, all the lovers have been tagged.
A hotline, a wanted ad
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had

I need this
I need this

Kryptonite - I don't know what possessed me to pick that name. The only origin is the Superman comic series. I was something of a fan when I was a teenager, but I never had any affinity to Superman's toxic home planet remnants.

**Jimaz** · August-02-10, 12:58 PM

My real name's Jim and I lived in Arizona when I signed up. Happy to be back in Michigan -- hopefully forever.

Great idea for a thread. I've often wondered why people picked their name.

LodgeDodger · August-02-10, 01:05 PM

The origin of "lodgedodger" are pretty obvious, I think. ;-)

I think it's hilarious most posters think lodgedodger is a guy.

Oh wow, I've not yet been banned.

Because you are always avoiding me at parties?

Ummm, yes. Sorry...you're just not my type.

You should change to Jimmi.

**TKshreve** · August-02-10, 02:51 PM

Mine has to do with my name. Initials and crap.

**Ray1936** · August-02-10, 03:30 PM

Mine's pretty obvious. First name and YOB. No imagination here, I guess.

**Detroitnerd** · August-02-10, 03:53 PM

I am a nerd and I live in Detroit.

**Mama Jackson** · August-02-10, 06:30 PM

Fairly obvious, I am a mom. However, one of my son's friends started calling me Mama Jackson when he would visit and it caught on with his group. I don't normally use my name online, but since there are more than 10,000,000 bi-zillion Jackson's in the world...I feel safe.

**turkeycall** · August-02-10, 07:09 PM

If you say my last name with a short "o" three times, it sounds like a hunter's turkey call. Bullet could verify that.

**Blueidone** · August-02-10, 07:14 PM

I have blue eyes...

I guessed that when I noticed my name's AZ turned to az. Clever code.
