I played hockey and hope someday they'll let me drive that Zamboni's at the rink.

I've been using this username since nearly the dawn of computers. It started on a MUD running on a VAX cluster that required letters and numbers as a login name.

104 for the lottery numbers a guy named Fenwick picked on a run of Michigan Lottery commercials back in the late '80's, mixed with 42 as it's the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Same last name is Megally and I'm a Dr. I actually hate my user tag and went to change it to just M3GALLY But it was a hassle

I'm a RN… nice to meet you. I actually almost changed it to M3Nurse.. but then I thought people would think that's stupid.

OK, I'll bite

My name (in part) is Rad and crazy shit just happens in my life. Some close friends call me MadRad. Bimmer added to MadRad for the obvious reason.

vj123 · 11-10-2021, 02:17 PM

My username across several forums was vrs123. It was the love for Skoda Octavia vRS (Skoda's version of GTI) which translated into all of my emails and forum usernames.

Considering the amount of time i spend across forums, my wife wasnt very happy with vrs123 after our wedding and it evolved into vj123 (first alphabet from my name followed by hers).

Happy wife, happy life.

Do we know each other? PM me. I am 39, and during my high school years (1997-2000) Frankie Bones was still very active, although he'd been around a long time.

Probably. Some people take a while to figure it out. If you're not a Cub fan, you have no idea what it means!

Very true.

I just hope we now see another WS title in our lifetime. 😬

Vic55 · 11-10-2021, 02:23 PM

Vic55 is my handle here and in every other forum where Ive owned that brand... but the 55 started at MBWorld back in 2001 when I had my first AMG (E55 W210) and at the time the fastest sedan around. When I joined other forums like Lambo, Ferrari, Audi, Porsche, etc I just kept it.

I am not 55 years old

Lol they could never capture me whenever we held war games in the Army, my Platoon Sergeant called me slippery and it stuck.

dJt3xtbook · 11-10-2021, 03:27 PM

Mine is really stupid from when I was back in high school. I had a buddy who got me into DJing, but my interest was specifically in scratching. I bought myself a DJ setup and records, but my problem is I have no rhythm. I would learn all of the scratching techniques, but they never were on beat with any music that I had playing. It was just random scratching noises with another song playing. My buddy said it sounded like I was learning how to DJ from a textbook and my DJ name was born. Back then, it was 'cool' to play around with lowercase/uppercase where they shouldn't be as well as use letters in place of certain letters and...dJt3xtbook was born.
