How'd you get your Avatar name?!?!

[Calig909]

I was kinda looking through all of the names that we have on the forum, and I know some are easy to understand, and some interest me on how they came to being. Like tanders, Maybe i'm dumb, and i just don't know what it means. But Im curious.


I have two common avatars.

Calig and Risy

Risy i got when i was hanging out with my friends who are taggers, and they tried to get me into it. They started showing me how to write and one guy told me he got his name by choosing letters he liked to write. So I made Risy cuz i thought those letters looked cool.

Calig is an abridged version of Calligraphy which is my Emcee name. When i was 15 i was looking around for a name to call myself, and i wanted it to be a normal word in the dictionary. I really wanted to be cunnilingus But there is already an artist by that name, and i'm a big fan of them after i found out who they were. Then I thought of calligraphy, and the rest is history. But everybody just calls me calig cuz it's shorter. and 909 is just my telephone area code. but i'm sure that was easy enough to find out.


so yep.

[tanders]

tanders is a shortening of my name. it combines my first initial with the first 6 letters of my last name

[TasK211]

Lets take it back..... many many MOONS ago, picked up the name "TasK" ("Task, cuz u get the job done") from my "breaking" krew in NV, moved back out here to CA where I stuck with the name, but "breaking" wasn't as BIG at the HS I started going too, so just drew(tagged) "low-key". Once i really started getting into the "net" or gaming ide always use or try "TasK" <---very hard to get, right?! As life goes on I began using "211", then the fun starts AGAIN .. Wu-Tang uses the term "211" a lot (didnt know the meaning of the numbers till later, never put 2 n 2 together or ever had issues with the LAW) then "211" ended up being my 1st appt # after HS, started using "211" after "TasK'.... AND THEN BACK PC.211 (in the law books it means Armed Robbery), caught my 1st case, can u guess ,yup PC.211?!! <-- wasnt planned. Well for a long while it HAUNTED ME having the "211" even in the name, but the "211" was added yrs b4 the acual PC.211, NOW the "211" has a positive twist to it, my 1st SON was born 2-11-09 and not to be cliche, he REALLY IS A MIRACLE, born 1lb 13oz, @ 28 weeks <-- from a medical point of view thats pretty "WOW", if ur not familiar with pregnancies ..

AND so there u have it, the lil story behind the "TasK211"

[wheezer]

Wheezer, or wheezy started back in the early 80s by my friends. I was known for smoking everything in sight, and I was always a cougher or a wheezer. People started calling me wheezer after that and it stuck. Wheezer, wheezy, wheeze, Wheezeman, squweeze, ez wheezy, sleezy wheezy, were some of the variations that came about, but Wheezer is the main name. It also lines up with my real name wich is Wesley, so it kinda worked. The one name I didn't like, and would correct them for it was weezle. I ain't no weasle and I will not accept that one.

[DuctTapeTheory]

Well, you got your quantum mechanics and then you got your general relativity and then there's string theory which tries to tie it all together. And I can't understand much of it at all but it blows my mind to consider the brain power at work to comprehend the magnitude and magnificence that is our universe--the edge of which is estimated to be 13 billion light years away from us in all directions.



"For the first time in the history of physics we therefore have a framework with the capacity to explain every fundamental feature upon which the universe is constructed. For this reason string theory is sometimes described as possibly being the "theory of everything" (T.O.E.) or the "ultimate" or "final" theory. "

But just in case there are a few holes in this theory, I want to offer up the DuctTapeTheory that can attempt to hold all of the disparate elements together long enough for greater explanations to arise. Duct tape is a pretty good handyman's tool and it does weird things too, like curing planters warts!

I don't have the mind to aim high, but I like to sound useful down here in the trenches!

[dahcwon]

I have been a writer since the late nineties and use many of monikers, but people kept stealing my fame and name jacking me. So I started writing my first name backwards and since every body uses "one" I started using "won" instead. Since than I have use that name for everything that I do pretty much.

It's my nick name off my car forum. :] Joined it last year and they shortened it down from my username which is 'trufflesaremoney'. So true.

I was reading a Julia Childs book when she mentioned truffles in a can for $5. ):

You should put up a video of you drumming one day :D Even if you have to blur your face out.

[Grasstronaut]

I don't rap. I just like that line and started using the name Grasstronaut.

[TasK211]

Word to that, nothing wrong with that, I've gone by a say from O.D.B "Im not caught up in your LAW"... feel me

[Drums]

Man...even if I knew how (I'm the Antigeek), I can't see that happening. I've got a pretty rare drumset. I need to stay invisible. If I come to Vegas, maybe you can hook me up with a set.:cool:

[_spoon_]

originally started out on a grateful dead site after jerry was arrested for freebasing in golden gate park as jerrygarciasfreebasingspoon. it's been shortened

[H1JACK3R]

Spoon. BEST NAME EVER. Seriously.

I got H1JACK3R when I got Xbox live on original YEARS ago. At that point HIJACKER wasn't taken, but XBL said no profanity in your gamertag.
How exactly is HIJACKER profane? You tell me.

Before that, I was just HIJACKER. (Yes, I was a classic 7 year old on CS 1.6 that beat your ass then talked MAD shit)

[_spoon_]

lol thanks
