Some of them are pretty self-explanatory (like mine) but some of you have some pretty unique usernames. Is it just something you used once and it's just stuck or is there logic behind it?

Imagine a group of a hundred motorcycles driving down a freeway. Eventually, they hit a junction. One road goes northwest and the other goes northeast. So one guy, we'll call him S, says, "Let's go northwest!" A mile past the intersection, a semi careens into the group and kills ninety of them. Ten are wounded, but they survive and keep going. Eventually, they hit 10,000 miles. S suddenly has his consciousness thrown into his past body right before the junction. Now, he says, "Let's go northeast!" All 100 bikers survive. Happily ever after, right? But what about the ten, no nine, who went northwest and survived? What happens to the reality they were living? Does it just disappear now that S has changed the past? It's not like only bad things happened on that 10,000 mile journey. Maybe one of them fell in love with a gas station attendant and got her pregnant or maybe one adopted a homeless kid that joined the adventure. That 10,000 mile journey would be full of stories. Romances, farewells, friendships...the loss of those ninety lives is horrible and unfortunate, but what would rewriting their history mean? The nine who survived lived full lives and did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. How could it be right to just erase all that? Isn't that worth something? Is there a point to a world where everything is happy? Are people who struggle for a better life just idiots? Being human is about fighting even when it seems hopeless and finding happiness in a world that hates it. Are you saying that's worthless?

My screen name is a reference to Jake, my favorite character in The Dark Tower novels by Stephen King. In the entire series he's only referred to as Kid Seventy Seven once, but for some reason it stuck with me.

First two letters of my 1st, middle and last names.  I started using it way back when the internet was new and I was a young unmarried Limajo.  You'll find me lots of places by those names or combinations thereof.

I got this name from a line in "The hard times of RJ Berger."

 

 

 

RJ Berger: I told a coupla guys that Claire gave me a pickle tickle, and now the whole school knows. 
Lily: So she didn't strike white gold? 
RJ Berger: She hasn't even started drilling. I-I've tried everything... I mean the tricks, the ennuendos, the jokes... 
Lily: Have you tried asking her? 
RJ Berger: Asking her what? 
Lily: I swear, boys are so stupid... Listen, not that I like the idea of you and what's her name getting it on... but... Girls aren't into cutesy crap and tricks. They like it when a guy's direct. 
Miles: Exactly dude! BAM!!! (Flops his arm on the table.) That's my D piece baby, deal with it!

Well my username is my last name flipped backwards, NAGILLUM/MULLIGAN

 

When I was creating an account for PSN, I just put my last name in full caps, but it was already taken. I added, 1, 2, 38, all kinds of numbers but it was all taken. Eventually I got frustrated and just flipped it backwards and it worked. It stuck with me ever since then and I mostly use it for any account.

Actually, it was just the first thing that popped into my head when I first signed up.  I didn't know about the infected, lurker, roamer, hierarchy thing.  I hadn't been lurking.  I thought of this guy for some reason, and it was funny to me:

I sometimes play characters on forums, but haven't really done that here, as it turned out to have surprisingly good and fun discussion.  And there's only so many times one could post "HHHRRRGH"

Didn't want to reuse the same username for the 1000th time

While thinking up candidates for a name, I remembered there was a zombie movie a while back called Dead Men Walking (or something similar)
Really liked Morrissey's Governor 

Knew he was gonna bite it soon.
Decided to combine the two.

I liked when Rick referred to himself as "Officer Friendly" to Merle. I don't remember why I added the underscore, though. I kind of wish I hadn't, as I think the username would have been better had I left the underscore out.

There used to be this band..... PT Grimm and the dead puppies. Most people thought they were awful but I loved them. They were kinda a punkish type. Sung about murder, death, depravity. CrystalBaby was a song by them I loved it so I used it and added the grimm. I've been using it ever since I can remember or some verion of it.

Zack as a name for zombies stuck with me after reading Max Brooks, World War Z.  Read it long before the movie came out.
