Red is the color of Rockets, number 1 is the position where they should be. I wanted to be just Red at that time but it was taken so I just added number 1. Red originally meant something as "Rockets ending the doom", doom of never crossing the first round in last 12 years. Glad that is over.
K LoLo is my nickname. People call me that outside of clutchfans. I used to rap (well, I still do, but I work more now) and that was more or less my stage name. I even have K LoLo on my high school lettermans jacket.
When I signed up for the site back in the summer of '01, Manny Ramirez was on the Red Sox and that's my favorite baseball team. I figured there were probably millions of people here calling themselves "Francis" something or "Olajuwon" or other Rocket players. I didn't think that anyone would be calling themselves a Red Sox player (little did I know about Nomar, lol) but I thought it would be a neat way to show that I am a Rockets fan and a Red Sox fan as well. Granted, Manny is no longer on the Sox, but everybody knows me as "Manny" so there is no point in changing it (even though I have tried in the past to little success).
leroy was a nickname given to me at a pizza place I used to work at in The Woodlands (Greek Tony's). 420...well, you figure that out on your own.
When I was in college, I was supposed to choose a character name for an MMO. I looked around the dorm room and chose the first thing I saw.
I had a dream that I was a rookie in the NBA and I was very strange. The back of my jersey said RIMBAUD, and I would spout crazy poetry during press conferences. It was cool being Rambo in the NBA. So the dream was fresh in my mind when I registered. I suppose the original inspiration was the 19th century gay gun-running syphilitic decadent poet Arthur Rimbaud. Obviously perfectly suited for a basketball bbs.
Since I only let Gucci clothes touch my body, I thought it was fitting. Actually, gucci contains my initials and it just kinda stuck. I also use to add "888" to all of my e-mail addresses, screen names, etc...
I went to my first Rockets game in 92. Been a fan since. Hakeem is my favorite Rockets player of all time. He had a positive impact on the court, in the locker room, and in the community. I see that same type of impact in Yao. Not as much of an impact on the court as Hakeem. In the locker room and community, their impact is the same. I hoped #34 would retire a Rocket, and feel the same for #11.
Kinda self-explanatory if ya ask me. It was 2000, and I like the Rockets. Im so unoriginal. I keep telling myself one day I will think of a better nick and ask Clutch to change it for me, but I never get around to it.
NoLimit from the record label, back when they were cool in the late 90s. You know, make em say ughhhhhh. NP for my initials. I should have thought of something better by now, but meh, its branded into my brain now. Same with my password, which no one could ever possibly guess. I despise sites that force me to use numbers, special characters, or capital letters because I'll forget after like an hour.
Master P did his thing for a little while, but I'll never understand how Silk The Shocker was allowed to be on any song for anyone. Dude has the worst lyrics/delivery.
He was the worst of the Miller family (Master P, Silkk the Shocker, C-Murder), but a better rapper than Lil' Wayne. I'm still amazed at all the awards he is getting. He freakin' TALKS in the majority of his songs, not raps. Tupac is the only person who could talk instead of rap and be off the charts.
