    An ex called me this (in a relationship at the time), and I wasn't paying attention when creating the profile so didn't realise there was a character limit and it knocked off the last "y"...

    Here is a scary thought for you. Maybe he is _so_ intelligent that he has in fact been reading every post on this entire forum in chronological order and it only took him 15 months to get to this thread.

    That was probably a Zoolander reference.

    Its crap really and after seeing some of the cool user names on here I would change mine if I could. I only picked it because the other names I wanted were gone so I just typed it in and it worked plus its easy to remember if Boards logs me out as they do periodically when you have not been on for a day ot two.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Random name generator after all my deliciously witty choices were taken.

    It proposed Legend Reject, but for some reason I opted to break up the legend.

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,639 ✭✭✭andekwarhola


    It's Andy Warhol's real name.

    Think I was either rereading - or thinking about - the (Bockris) Warhol biography when I picked it.

    Mine is *acro-literative 😂

    I like studying the form (racing) , so name is derived from parts 1. Le (a bit of French there in keeping with the alliterative part 😊) 2. F (form) 3. S (studying) and 4. M (madderfoocare 😃) , (FSM - also in keeping with the alliteration, as well as being acronynmical) .... So Le F S M merges into me Monica 😂

    *I'm calling dibs on making up the above word which combines acronymical with alliteration , and in the above it's used in the adjectival (had to look that one up - I'd have plumped for adjectivical meself) 😛

    Mine was a re-reg after 6 years posting on boards in c2008 i posted a joke spoiler about a UFC result and was banned.

    User related to my favourite fighter, Frank Mir who recovered from a motorbike accident and I was sure he'd be back better than ever.

    He wasn't :(

    Got sent off 6 times in one season. Asked the manager of one team, if he wanted me to play the following season and he laughed, said "Red Card Kid you have no chance" and sent me packing. It kinda stuck after that.
