Mr. Heartbreak Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I like to tell everyone it's from the Laurie Anderson song Sharkey's Day ...Oooeee Sharkey. Yeah. He's Mister Heartbreak.... because I figure it gives me some sort of indie cred, which I sorely lack.But actually it's because I am such a heartbreaker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
embiggen Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 my original name, Flick, was my husband's surname before his stepfather adopted him. just think, if he had not adopted him, my real name would be Jessica Flick! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wilcogirl Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I signed on this site as w1lc0g1rl, thinking it was going to be my super secret uncrackable letter and number password. I entered that while thinking what I wanted my screen name to be, and ... whoops, there I was! I later changed it to wilcogirl because looking at it hurt my brain. I briefly changed it to paria to keep in theme with my desert soutwest motif I have going on here (Paria Canyon) as I love Utah and its canyons, but I changed back. I am tuliptree on another forum, and I have thought about changing it to that, but after three years . . . I guess I am sticking to wilcogirl. After all I love Wilco, and I am a girl, pretty deep!

watch me fall Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 So Wilco says watch me fall somewhere, huh? EDIT: Oh, that other band. I don't really know them. Seriously? It's an Uncle Tupelo song. Sorry I thought you were trying to be funny like JUDE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Somnambulist Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Mine's an XTC b-side but as I was sleepwalking through my previous career, it fit on that level as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 The Dude is a name that no that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But I have been an unemployed bum living in Los Angeles within walking distance of both a Ralph's and an In-and-Out Burger, and I thought this Wilco board needed a Dude, perhaps even more than the Dude needed it.

Reni Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Reni was the nickname I picked up in Manchester, England when I used to hang out at the Dog and Partridge (a block from Old Trafford) with a bunch of Red Army hoolie type guys when I was a football obsessive and traveled all over England photographing football, grounds and fans......Reni The Red......that's me.

Serak_the_Preparer Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Picture with a chef's hat on. He is from a Tree House of Horror episode that spoofs the Twilight Zone's "To Serve Man" episode. If you wanted to make Serak the Preparer cry, mission accomplished. I was a huge Simpsons fan, but i haven't seen them in about 5 years now. I should really change my name.

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 "Crowjack" originated in 1996 as an homage to the fictional Character Jack Crow, not the Mystery Science Theater character. I have been Crowjack on every message board, newsgroup, torrent group, etc. since. Most people who only know me from the internet call me Crow. I don't think anyone here or anywhere else on the internets know my given name. And if you pay attention, you will notice that I refer to my children, spouse and friends by nicknames alone: D-man, Magic K, Downtown, All the young girls love, Toby etc. I changed to the "Porkchop" and "Cornbread" given name because...I want a real nickname. I always thought Food nicknames were cool. Peanutbutter CrowPudding Crow However, Ego Crow will be my next handle here. Followed by Id Crow. There will be no Super Ego Crow because I have no conscience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Arabella Figg, the Squib who lives next to the Durselys in Harry Potter-land, has a cat named Mr. Tibbles. I do not kid.

bobbob1313 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I don't know. Bobbob1313 has been my screen name as long as I can remember. I think I've had it since I was 10. I can't remember what was going through my mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
