  • Why did you choose your user names

    How/Why did you guys choose your MURC user name? Mine is based on a pop3 account that I managed to screw up whilst signing up with a local ISP several years ago. I no longer use the ISP but I kept the name.

    The guys in the Gaming forum know my story already but here you go.

    In Unreal Tournament when you kill someone it tells you who killed you. It says "You were killed by _______"

    I always thought it was funny for it to say "You were killed by Kindness!"

    The name kind of stuck with me and here I am .

    edit: What the heck is a "Currie". Is it a UK thing?

            Back in the late 80s and early 90s I used to race 1/10 scale electric RCs (before all my $$ started to go to raising 2 kids). I had more invested in my racers than all the PCs I've owned put together.
            I was sponsored by a local track, and raced at all the different tracks in town, and was pretty darn good at it (I have a box full of trophies and ribbons around here somewhere).
            Anyway, one of the track announcers liked assigning racer names to all the guys. We had Jumpin Jim V., Dyno Paul D., and many others. The name I got tagged with was Kruzin Kenny, and it has just stuck ever since (I still hang out with some of my old racin pals, and they still call me Kruzin).

                Hell-uh-vee-shuh!

                New Helvitia was a town very near where I was born(Sacramento, CA). I thought for a long while that it was New Helevitia so I started using Helevitia. I used it for a long time before I found out I was wrong So that's it!

                  I needed a name for BBS's. I came up with this one after one of my friends had told a few storytales about the "small furry mammal of ill repute."

                    Curry is defintly a Uk thing.. My friends in yorkshire go out and get drunk and go get a curry afterwards. one of them is coming to visit in December he said he would teach me how to cook one. i'll let ya know how good it is


                    I got my name cos in school my nickname was Lizzard. and the [MPE] came from my Ut clan the Mad Penguin Empire. so my Ut name is Lizzard[MPE].. i choose it cos most people don't think i'm a girl when i play and that helps so the little shits that are 13yrs old don't gang up and come looking for me

                      I thought curry was a kind of food, with beans in it...


                      Alec comes from an Entombed (swedish metal band) song, which is called "Smart Alec". Also, my name is Alexandre, so it makes some sense.

                          Curry is a spice or a blend of spices used in India and throughout Southeast Asia. My favorite are the Curry dishes from Thailand.

                            Yeah, Thai dishes are great. #16 is my favorite.

                              I got mine from my Car I own. I have a 1998 Mustang GT and when I signed up for my first email account, I wanted to use 98GT@exit109.com, but due to Unix limitations I had to use GT98 instead...
