TuxedoJericho came from when I was at Walter's State Community College. After they built the new library, a few of my friends and I were there, on the old firefly.net site. I was looking to set up a new account, and was wondering what to use. I went to wrestler Chris Jericho's site and saw a section where people took his head and put them on other bodies (The one of him as Neo from Matrix was ftw). I then saw one o f him on Tuxedo Mask's (from Sailor Moon) body. It was called Tuxedo Jericho. I just combined the words and ta-da, the name is now created.

I wanted something very unique and original and could also be trademarked. As I was writing Perl scripts at the time I decided on using a word play on the first line of most Perl scripts, #!/usr/bin/perl.

I came up with mine in 2000, when I was creating my new email address. I wanted something so that people could identify me when they saw something. The 1 was just something I thought was cool. But, it has lasted me for coming on 8 years now, and it has been effective every time!

shaggysi0 is a derivative of the original nick "shaggysivirus" which has been my username since I first came onto the internet in 2001.

"shaggy si virus" was a nickname i was given my a friend of mine. He had the internet before me and I often used to use his computer at his house. For some reason, it crashed or went wrong every time I used it. I always said "it wasnt me!" (a line from Shaggy's classic hit) and would blame Windows ME. My friend, however, blamed me, and gave me that nickname.

On joining WyldRyde for the first time, in #besttechie, Jeff warned me that people would be put off asking for support in a tech channel if they saw someone with the name "Virus" sitting in there. So I changed it to shaggysi then shaggysi0, which has now been my nick for the duration of my Wyld Ryde \:\)

Hmmm. Way back in the day, The girl that I sat next to me in math class in 7th grade, always said that i was weird. We were like any other 7th graders and always passed notes back and forth, and she started writing notes to me addressed to freaky. When I started joining internet things, freaky was already taken, so, I changed the a to an e, and a y to and ie. Thus Freekie was born. This was oh.. 1998ish or so?

So yeah there's how i get LAAAbaseball

Mine...well mine i got from many things, For some reason I thought of a game that requires die(dice) and I when you get two ones people say you "rolled snake eyes" But I toke out an E because it seemed cooler spelling it Snakeyes11. The 11 comes from the two ones (11). Most people think 11 is my age, which is not. I happen to be twenty yrs old. Oddly, I am not a big fan of snake's but most people think i like them. Plus I have been using the nick snakeeyes11 for other stuff at the moment. Such Myspace and other stuff. So that's basically how I got my name just minus an extra e. Oddly enough sometimes I even act like a snake, I am very sneaky at times, never know what I am doing.

Hrmmm, This question i get asked a lot. About december-ish i got tired of yelling @ people in #chris about googleing their questions BEFORE they come to chat and ask. So i leaned about getting new nicks. i thought of the /me command. then click, click. Got the name Google, registered it, and here i am today.

/me it.

This is the story about my nick. At first when I registered on WR, I registered the name Brad (that's my first name). But when I was in #Chris, people all the time thought I was Brad from uStream (don't know why they thought that). So, I changed it to TXBrad (because I live in Texas) and I still had some people thinking the same thing but not as many.

I sat down and took my name and two other words and combined them and then tacked my birth day on the end. J the r man e 24. I also had to flip the r and the e so i didn't have two e's in a row. But the words are Jer (my nickname) the man and my birthday. A little creativity went into this one.

My nickname years ago was
lspebayfreak

LSP was Laser Storm Pittsburgh a place I used to go all the time.
and eBay is what I know and love.

So when I stopped going there and started not liking that place at all - I decide I would be known as

Theebaykid but that was taken most places so I used a 1 instead.
Not to mention I was still a kid, 15. When I choose that nick.

The other nick I use wrry are my initials
