I just needed something quick for another board. Boring but I stuck with it b/c it was easy to remember.
tele = my main guitar
sj = location, south jersey.
Tho one person thought sj might be San Jose, which I actually preferred... it does have a better ring to it.

It's a Captain Beefheart song. And a really good one, at that. It's also the name of my band

Mine is a really dumb nickname I've had for about 15 years now, but I don't want to change it because it's been my email address the whole time. The first part is from when I first went out for HS football. I was quite a big kid for my age (6'2", 220) and my coach called me Big Chief the first day. BC = my initials. Voila.

Mine's a random name I came up with when I was making a WoW character... it just stuck.
I didn't even notice the extra C in it... but it makes it moar unique, IMO.
And, no, I wasn't thinking about splooge... although I wish I was.

lack of capitals and ee cummings is awesome!
i like dem both.
mine came from two directions, i used to have a noise project called monotone corrosive, and i just used corosiv as my screen name when i could, but i wanted to make a departure from my older material, and one of my last names means "a person from a field of crows", i.e. a field of crows like my myspace (is there a good way to say my myspace?), which may someday be some sort of music project, so i go by korvis, which is mauled corvus, latin for crow.
but you probably knew dat alrady

5 or 6 years ago I was playing final fantasy 8 while watching the Kevin Smith film Dogma while installing a copy of final fantasy xi on my pc.
The Morningstar is referenced in each of those three mediums in a different way. Brownie points if you know how.
The lore surrounding the name was just very intriguing.
The U at the end was an inside joke during my mmo days...many people just called me morning or simply MS.
My packmule character was from a midget wizard race called a "Taru Taru" and I needed a name for it that let people know it was me.
Morningstar+u=Morning's+taru=Morningstaru harr harr

I was listening to Pull Out by DFA 1979 and signing up for the forum; when I heard Sebastien scream 1,2,3, Pull Out! I thought " Oh that's a cool name".
Turns out it's only cool when Sebastien Grainger is screaming it over a noisy distorted bass hook, now I seem like some sort of weirdo.
Oh well, it may come to be endearing

Totally not what I thought. But then again, I have a dirty mind.
