How did you choose your Username?

Its a longified version of my last name( Beton--->Betonov )

It was a high school idea as I tried to make my last name sound russian like and it stuck

P.S. Beton translated into english means concrete

Herr-Berbunch · 02-01-11, 11:39 AM

I tried to find something funny starting with Herr, like Herr Kut, or Herr Lip, Herr Style, Herr Flick (of the Gestapo!) or finally Herr Trigger, but plumped for Herr-Berbunch from the great 70's Hanna-Barbera cartoon 'Help!...It's The Hair Bear Bunch!"

PS I rather like Rammstein too, #Bang! Bang!... Feuer Frei!... Bang! Bang!

That's great! I never would have made that connection!

Lord_magerius · 02-01-11, 11:42 AM

It's my stage name if you will, that I used when playing in my old black metal band. I also use Count Morknar too

Avgwarhawk=American Volunteer Group. These pilots flew the P-40 Warhawks over China. Hence AVGWarhawk. Just a a group of pilots I had admired since I was a kid.

first thing that popped into my head at the time, the year was 2005 and everyone knows what a kiwi is so kiwi_2005

login Gaming names are always either nightsurfa or nimrod xx (xx being a number if nimrod is taken. Nightsurfa is never taken cause the name is unique but I suppose Ive blown that now. so if you see nightsurfa in an online shooter be very afraid.

Ha! Good to know that your last name is Beton indeed.
Beton translated into German means "Beton".

I will call you "Beton" from now on.

Dan D: Daniel is my given name. Back when I joined you had "Ice T, "Mel C" and the like as artist (dj) names. First A, Dan C, then B came to my mind but Dan D sounded better, more like a poser. Kickin it Old School !

My evil twin is "Ran D", the horny hamster, if you did not know yet.

I wonder how Mr. Stevens came up with his handle. It's awfully cryptic.

Niki was my first pooch. Bee= bostson (terrier) Mc= irish influence in Boston. Now if the Scots had settled in Boston, it would be NikiMacBee, and that's just weird. Plus the kilt thingy.

I have debated changing my username to the senior statesman of the house Rocky.

Won't matter since it's more fun to just call you McBee.

In that case you'd be in the featherweight division

Armistead · 02-01-11, 06:42 PM

27 years ago I got into Civil War reenacting. Did it with a group in NC for a few years and during one mock battle I put my sword through my hat, lifted it and shouted "charge". A union reenactor said look "he thinks he's Armistead"...my group never stopped calling me since.

Our group did partake of the movies Gettysburg and Gods and General. No, I wasn't Armistead in either, they had a great reenactor who was also a stage actor do that role. I did die 3 times and you can see my face for a total of 3 seconds in Gettysburg... I'm the great looking guy, can't miss me.
