Psychedub Dude 07-12-2013 08:23 PM

I got my name from one of my old bands back in the day. We called our selves Psychedub Massive Crew, and before that it was Psychedubridiculicious. Try saying that 5 times fast haha

Now I roll as Psychedub Dude, it's also my xbox live gamertag.

As it turns out it means "corpse candle", and they're lights that are supposedly seen at night bobbing around graveyards. I went to look for pictures, and funnily enough, pretty much all of what came up are from things I've posted here and on Basenotes.

Same here.

but now I actually go by Hermione instead of my birth name, because I have claimed it because it suits me and I feel at home in it

I figured I play bass and bass' are groovy, and I'm slow. So Slow Groove became born.

It was meant to be the polar opposite of the original name I signed up with, plus I like cats.

Feel like a change now though.

Circe 07-13-2013 03:31 PM

Circe was this magic lady in Greek mythology who messed Odysseus around by turning his men into animals so that she could trap him on her island and hopefully get the D from him in the process. I don't identify with her in any way but she's on of the few antagonists in the Odyssey that isn't a complete tosser and I figured I could probably confuse a few people by making my avatar a circle at a later date so I went for it.

Paul Smeenus 07-13-2013 04:58 PM

My frIends have known me by Paul Smeenus as long or longer than many if not most of you have been alive.

I read Homer's Odyssey so that wouldn't have fooled me :laughing:

I was hanging out with a crazy pack of metalheads, these guys:





That whole crowd, the men and the women (who were almost entirely strippers, we were after all in the strip club capital of the US, Portland OR) were all extremely wild and openly sexual. Every one and I mean every SINGLE one of those people had boinked someone in common with any other one of those people, with one glaring, uberconspicuous exception, me. I was SO timid compared to everyone else, the main thing I had in common with them was a. music appreciation, and b. drinking. Heavy emphasis on that last one. I was a raging alcoholic and could literally pound down beer as fast as you could pour it into a sink.

So one of the members of that entourage (who quite ironically was famously under endowed, much much less so than myself, not that ANYONE ever actually saw me) figured out that Paul Smeenus made for a pretty amusing spoonerism (although they didn't know there was a word describing that type of play-on-words) and called me that at a party. Everybody there fell over laughing, I was humiliated and mortified at first but I came to realize that it was meant with love and I couldn't overlook the fact that it was an extremely clever nickname. It stuck, and ever since George Sr. was President I've been known as Smeenus.

And no, I never did get laid in that crowd. And as to whether or not there's any truth to it, I'll never say.

Sequoioideae 07-13-2013 08:28 PM

I like things that make me feel physically insignificant.

Also trees

It's the hex code for the colour black. It was just random.

:beer: I asked you in a previous thread why in your previous avatar the man was facing upward, I thought it was opposite?

Dulce 07-26-2013 04:14 AM

Because it's my real name and I love the way it sounds in Spanish. Seriously. Cheers! :beer:

Funkmaster Red 07-27-2013 02:23 AM

John Wilkes Booth 08-01-2013 12:32 PM

Supposedly he's a distant cousin of mine or something like that. Only famous relative I have. Most entertaining personality of the president-killers. Oswald can eat a dick.

Trace-P38 08-01-2013 04:14 PM

Trace-Elliot amp Parker-P38 guitar.

Been using this name in various places for a long time.

Isbjørn 11-13-2013 07:14 AM

I have had this username-ish for a while now. Some years back I registered on an animation forum, and tried to take the username "Bricks", since lego was commonly used by people on it. It was already taken. A while later, i made a Minecraft account, and following in the same vein I tried to name my user "Bricksblocks". That was taken too, so by removing the C's I ended up with "Briksbloks". My name has a long story, its origins lie in rough stones that was carved smooth to perfection, thus my username was created.

Sansa Stark 11-13-2013 08:47 AM

Amandria/AwwSugar wanted to change her username so I suggested these two.

Although technically I'm Sansa Lannister now :(

Ninetales 11-13-2013 08:53 AM

pretty sure i saw a post from you when I first came here when you had an avatar of something pokemon related (i forget what it was but it was like "a wild something has appeared") and i was like hm pokemons p cool and picked the best one. The rest is history.

Taxman 11-13-2013 08:57 AM

Well, sadly the story behind my name is nothing spectacular. I just needed username and at the same time I was listening 'Revolver' by The Beatles and it's first song is called Taxman so ta-daa.
