    It started back in second year of college. One of the girls who lived next door came over to our house. She was off her tits on some drugs and was freaking out about something or other. Me being the kind caring gentleman that I am, I picked up a cushion, proclaimed it as her god and tried to get her to bow before it. I believe I said that I'd end her puny species existance if she didn't. She ran off and we didn't see her again for a couple of days.

    Later on that year I created a cult called cushiology (It was a piss take of scientology) and it's god was a solid gold cushion. I designed a website for a class project on it and luckily the lecturer seen the funny side of it. Started using almightycushion then as a username on some sites.

    The username is indicative of the job, while also alluding to the history of macroeconomics and the first (recorded) use of the term 'economist'.

    It's the name of a traditional boat in the Phillipine's and 81, hmm not too sure, I was born in 88, so 81 I guess are just random numbers.

    It was a nickname I got while living in the UK. My then Chinese gf and a few other pals gave it to me. They said I was helpful and considerate and added the first half of my name to it. (Denis)...as in Den the Man. Very thoughtful they were.

    And oh yeah it has nothing to do with the horse...even though a lot of people here think it is. :)

    Registered Users Posts: 690 ✭✭✭Lorrs33


    My name is Lauren and I told a guy in my class that you couldn't cut my name down into a nickname and sure enough he came up with Lorrs, even though it never really caught on. I use it for a lot of websites. The 33 comes from trying to use just Lorrs on a website, but it being rejected. I love the number 3, so I doubled it :D
