    i have used my name for a looooong time. about 5 years ago i was signing up for a email account and kept getting stuff that is taken. so i sat back in my chair and tried to think of something that would never be taken. "peleincubus"

    anyways i grew up playing soccer and have always liked pele. and i also at the time was really into incubus. too bad they suck now, at least the name means something unto itself.

    and you never know, "pele" could in fact be an "incubus"

    Me, too. I'm sure my first post involved the word "Der" and me flapping my wrist to my chest.

    No, money down!

    I was trying to provoke a Lhutz/A-train/Lhutz's secret identity to post./Lhutzfan

    This bbs needs more secret identities. I like the history of this place, it needs a chronicler.

    My handle is my name. Well my surname. And that's what all my friends call me.

    wow cool thread.

    i always wondered what a "sland" balla was... but now i know. and i always thought antisonic was some sort of physics phenomenon. and codell = c. o'dell? i would have never come up with that.

    anyway yipeng zhao is my given name. and some of my oldest friends still call me that. i don't really know why i chose it as my bbs handle. i could probably have come up with something better, especially since my name translates to something like "roc" you know the mythical creature but sounds like rockets...

    Which translates into Peter...

    We should just call you Peter. Or Simon. Or Rocky. Or yipengzhao.

    Ahhh how I enjoying telling this story…

    I’m a sport huntsman by trade and specialize in hunting rare and endangered cats (Snow Leopards, Siberian Tigers, etc.). I have bagged all but the most exceptional and elusive the dreaded King Cheetah. The most feared and dangerous of all the large cats it’s not uncommon for a KC to devour an entire village. Also well known for ridiculing hunters with smart-ass taunts the King Cheetah has brought even the most rugged adventurer to tears.

    Yes Mr. Cheetah keep looking over your shoulder you’ll make a fine coat someday…

    :rolleyes: ;)

    Back in high school, I was at volleyball practice when one of the other coaches called me away from practice to go do something, and the head coach said, "No way! Leggo my Meggo!" Everyone was laughing so hard practice stopped for a good 10 minutes. There was no way I was living that one down. EVER. My teammates on the volleyball and on the basketball teams called me Meggo, and even some of my teachers did (oddly enough), my friends still do, and so does my family.

    Then I started using the internet and signing up for all sorts of crazy email accounts and whatnot, so I just switched the wording around to meggoleggo. It's now my email address at UT, but nobody there really knows me by meggo, unless I email them.

    I gained the name Bamaslammer from the Marines. In the military, you're either called by your nickname or your last name and everyone called me Bama. Well, since I am a graduate of the University of Alabama, was born in the state and like to consume the drink, it fits.

    my name is chad.

    i used the code of the alphabet so only those brave enough to dedicate much time and effort to decipher it may find out the truth.

    C = 3rd letter
    H = 8th
    A = 1st
    D = 4th...

    and there you have it...3814 = Chad

    When I was in college, I was into rockclimbing and kickboxing so it just fit my interests. It just seemed to fit here also, so it stuck.

    I stole it from somewhere...but I have used it off and on since modems were 300 baud and BBS'es were pretty much the only thing my Commodore 64 super computer was good for. (besides taking 1 billion hours to download a very simplistic game)
