Explain your screen name.

[LarBrd33]

I've had mine since like 1996 and back then file names and screen names could only be 8 characters long.  Back in my day you'd have to sit for a half hour to see one Jenny McCarthy boob and modems had vocal personality.

[SSFan V]

I started out for a while as Crunch n' Munch, but something happened (either format change or I forgot my password or something) and I needed a new name, so at the time I was just about to move back to the south shore so I went w/ SShore Fan.
 
From there - well it's only conjecture of what the real story is.

[Finkelskyhook]

I wanted my screen name to match my most ridiculous basketball vision.  Henry Finkel made Herman Munster look like Michael Jordan  The thought of the athletic wonder Finkel attempting the  Abdul-Jabbar skyhook, the most graceful of any move ever by a 7-footer, fit perfectly.  

[Steve Weinman]

I went with Steve Weinman because, well...

...I am Steve Weinman.

Mystique abounds, I'm sure.

[cdif911]

first initial is c, last name starts with dif, and 911 because 911's a joke in your town

You are the first one I thought of when I saw this thread.  Hmm, I wonder how Steve picked his name.....   

[amenhotep04]

About 10 or 11 years ago there was a poster on ESPN whose name was Pitino spelled backwards, so it read, Onitip which always reminded me of Imhotep for some reason. But I also was somewhat of a fan of RA, and Amenhotep the 4th, and his attempt toward monotheism.  So I changed at that time from DrLo to the current name.

[rondo987]

I like Rondo.

And 987 were 3 numbers that I thought were easy enough to remember. Although when I think about it now, it makes sense since I was born in 1987. Wow I deserve a negative TP for just realizing this coincidence. Can someone give me a negative TP please?

[StartOrien]

Very lazy screen name:

When Celticsblog changed over formats and everyone had to re-sign up (I had previously been "WheresTonyBattie") Jeff had left a post that said something along the lines of "I know it's not great to have to re-sign up, but its a perfect time for you to change your screen name guilt free if you had a dated one like 'Start Orien."

Completely mindless, completely juvenille.

Mine is similar...I'll leave it at that.

[Big Ticket]

Any questions?

I assumed it was because of something like this:

Oh, but it was worth every minute waiting!

Initials and silly enough my buddy in High School's nickname was Kidd. He used to call me Play as in Kid n Play and it got lengthened out to Playa for some reason. I must say I was very embarrassed when that Lebron commercial recently came out and the they are making fun of the dude with the Kid n Play Cd and imitating their dance. I still loved them! Rollin' with Kid 'N Play still makes my head bounce!

[RebusRankin]

One of my favourite authors is Ian Rankin. His most famous character is John Rebus. Combined the two and made it RebusRankin. It was initially for an email account and I liked the name so its my screen name of choice.

[BigAlTheFuture]

I like Rondo.

LOL. Nice avatar. 



Well, I joined Celticsblog a month before Big Al was traded. Big Al = Al Jefferson and he's the future baby! That makes BigAlTheFuture!
