After a character in a book. And some [censored] already had "Tyler Durden" regged (no offense Tyler), so I went with this.

[AngryCola]

Angry = Because of my personality at the time. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

Cola = Because I used to drink an obscene amount of soda.

I've had mine for about five years, and I think it's pretty unique. I used to play a lot of TFC, CS, Q3, Q2, Starcraft, etc, and people always remembered who I was because of this name.

The only thing that sucks is I still get the same stupid joke questions thrown at me all the time.

"Why are you angry, Cola?" "Why are you angry at cola?" You know, lame stuff like that.

I have no idea. It was about 7 years ago that I started using spamuell and I think I was drunk. I have some vague recollection of Yahoo Mail coercing me into it when I tried to register something else.

Still, it's good because I think I'm the only spamuell around, if I search for it on google, I only get stuff to do with me. How many people can say that about their screen names?

[Gamblor]

Simpsons Episode 1F08, $pringfield.

Mr. Burns opens a Casino in Springfield, and Marge begins playing a little too much.

About midway through the episode: Lisa runs in in a panic.

Lisa: Dad, Mom said she'd be home to help me with my costume and she's not, and the geography pageant is tonight!
Homer: Lisa, your mom still loves you. It's just that she has a career now. She's a slot-jockey.

Lisa: But Dad, if I don't show up in a rubber suit shaped like the state of Florida, I'll be the laughing-stock of the whole school!

Homer: [disgusted] Oh, it's always something, isn't it? First I have to drive your pregnant mother to the hospital so she can give birth to you. And now this.

Montage. Homer tries to sew with a needle and thread, but he keeps poking himself. He tries to use the sewing machine, but he pokes himself even more often. He starts up his blow torch, but it's for something on the car instead. Lisa has to remind him to work on her costume again.

Finally the costume is done.

Homer: Hello, Florida! [Her costume is two foam mattresses like a sandwich board with "FLOREDA" scrawled in black magic marker. Homer tapes an orange to her, but it falls off]

Lisa: [gasps] I'm not a state, I'm a monster! [sobs]

Homer: [wipes a tear away] No, Lisa. The only monster here is the gambling monster that has enslaved your mother! I call him Gamblor, and it's time to snatch your mother from his neon claws!

Myself and one of my buddies in high school started to attempt to freestlye rap, we decided to come up with our own rap group called Box of Crackers(we are all white). My name was ThaSaltCracka, he has RitzCracka, we even had an AnimalCracka. I like the name, its funny, so I use it for a handle when talking to people that are otherwise anonymous to me.

[Lawrence Ng]

I am unimagintive and boring, so I decided to use my real name.

[nothumb]

That's funny.

I used to be in a rap group. My name was 'MC Quake.' Not because I played Quake, but because I grew up Quaker. And because the line went, "He makes the girls shiver and he makes the earth shake. And that's why they call him..."

etc.

'no thumb' comes from the fact that, when I bowl, I don't put my thumb in the ball.

By the way, I will bet anyone here that I am the best bowler on 2+2. You fat, lazy slobs.

I average about 210 and I don't practice and I have old equipment... I think if I practiced and dropped the dough for new balls I'd be in the 225-230 range. But that's easy for me to say, I'm drunk.

that sounds about what kerssens throws, maybe if he came on here and posted he could verify. I know he doesn't play much anymore though. Bowling is fun btw.

[nothumb]

Bowling is great. My girlfriend taped an ad from a bowling joint out your way, I think it's called Ken-Mor lanes or something, on our fridge. It has a picture of a bride and groom bowling and it says, "When it really matters... take her bowling."

I think I remember reading that they had a poker game in the back of that place, too.

you liked that cock and bull book? the first time I read it I was drunk and thought it was pretty funny (more cock, than bull, or one or the other). then I went back again and found it completely unbearable. and he had another book I meant to pick up until I decided I couldn't stand him, whatever that was.

I was at work one day in a big room surrounded by various associates and colleagues and browsing the web on a handheld computer and I was trying to look at something that was either pornographic or otherwise disreputable, or was at least sure to generate unending spam, and I had to sign up to get to the good stuff, so I needed a name. I looked up and immediately next to me was a guy named Frank Mos*a. I changed one letter of his name and Frank Mosta was born. Well now Frank has a yahoo account and a hotmail account, and has become a member at various social and technical and professional boards (alwasy same username, same password, both known to about a half a dozen people), and we talk about him in the third person and what he's been up to like he's another roommate. it's pretty fun. he's kind of an imaginary friend--I mean I am. No I'm not... .

Heh, like Salt, me and my friends made up rapper names, unlike Salt, we did no rapping because we are unghetto, unfresh, and without groove.

I chose NoChance because I wanted the message at Party to read: NoChance has just won a multitable tourney...you get the picture.

Nothumb, I bowl too. I average 203.

[nothumb]

I'm kind of blowing smoke with the whole bowling thing. Not that I'm not a 210 bowler, team captain in a scratch league and all that. But with conditions and balls the way they are these days it's really hard to tell who's worth a poop and who's not. I know Duke's in the SW, you're in MN... I have no idea what conditions are like out there. Up here they tend to have heavy but short patterns with some dry outside... when I used to bowl down South there was generally less oil overall.

NT

[sfer]

AnimalCracka is clearly the best name out of the three.

[NoChance]

Where I bowl, they oil the middle pretty heavy. The outer 7 boards remain dry. Also, I think the place I bowl at has the light pins which means they go down easier (but I also feel weird splits happen more often with these).

Had a 286 once and four 279 games but still in search of the perfect game.

[BeerMoney]

When I was a freshman, a couple of juniors used to bum money off of people cause they needed beer money. I always thought it was funny.

I guess I'll jump in here and represent....I bowled from age 5 to 18...got up to about a 205 league average and decided to retire at 18 to preserve my glory of coming in 4th in my senior year in the state high school tournament with a 238 average.

That's about where I sat last time I bowled 'seriously' (I know that's possible but it's tough... was easier then when I couldn't drink). Of course that was about 5 years ago so I'm sure I'd be happy to crack 170 if I were to step foot in the lanes anytime soon.

I play a lot of MUDs, and (to be truly nerdy about it), tabletop RPGs for quite a few years (including - and this is the important part - the period where I became highly internet active).

Cyril was a favorite name for characters (more of the name of a favorite character) and the one by which a lot of my online associates came to know me, even ones I also knew in real life, they'd call me Cy and whatnot... so it stuck. That one was taken though often so over time it sort of morphed into the current form, which is pretty much never taken. I'm going to have to change my nick on Party tho.

I don't get along with an aunt on my father's side or her family. They had been talking about what great poker players they were and challenged me to a freeze-out for $400. It was my aunt and two cousins. Their rules were great, no blinds, only antes . . . for NL. Every time one of my cousins would get low, my aunt would give them some of her chips. I kept biding my time, playing tight, and whenever they'd drag a pot with some crap they'd always say, "They were suited." Finally, it was down to three, I was chip leader with a . . . A /images/graemlins/heart.gif6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif6 /images/graemlins/club.gif3 /images/graemlins/heart.gifT /images/graemlins/heart.gif board. The other two were both all in, with heart flushes. So my 6's held up. That was the greatest tournament win of my life . . . until I win one where they give you a bracelet. When I wen to drag the last pot, one of them with the flush didn't see my quads and asked what I thought I had. My brother remarked that, "THOSE are suited sixes." And it just stuck.

Pretty easy on a house shot. Grab a ball off the shelf, make your spares, and there's your 190. I'd win inebriated bets at my friend's bowling bar by beating guys using a conventional-grip houseball and wearing my street shoes. Having 21 revs doesn't hurt, either. You can become a pretty decent bowler if one of your first part-time jobs is a pin monkey and get free bowling.

Playing fifth arrow since they only oiled once a week, left a solid-10 on the final shot to shoot 299 during my college "Beginning Bowling" class. That was amusing. (Yes, I got an A.) Shot 290 and 770-something at state last spring. Finished 36th (34th?) in all-around. Too bad I didn't bother entering any of the brackets. Would have won more than 36th paid. d'oh.

Nickname... eh, not too many Kenricks around, so what the heck, and it's a homage to one of my favorite hypnotists.

Me: Podgurski?
Coach: P-what?
Me: Podgurski, coach.
Coach: I can't say that [censored]. From now on your name is P-Funk, cause you play like a nigga. You my nigga P-Funk! (I'm white) Everyone, you hear that, this is P-funk from now on.
