*canned laughter*


Quasar
Quazar (misspelling of Quasar; the Z makes it cool)
QZR
I'd like to buy a vowel.
qizzr
I'd like to buy another one.
Aqizzar

And that's how my name came to be.  Until I made it up for this forum, those specific letters had never been assembled in that specific combination, an ethos I strive for in all that I do.

From one of the other threads about this stuff.

Damned if I remember where Retro came from, but I've been using it various places a little over a decade now, and I don't have plans on arbitrarily changing it. When I register at a new place and Retro is taken there, I tend to use 'rdriftwood.'

I crafted it out of raw firmament, with a random string generator. The goal was to get a name with enough vowels to be look pronounceable at first glance while returning zero google hits.

Kael's the long standing nickname (from before Everquest existed :P) and current stagename for performances. Online I always used KaelGotRice or other iterations of "KaelGot______" so in Bay12's case it's dwarves.

Acanthus was the first Spartan athlete who supposedly ran in the Olympics nekkid. I don't exactly remember where, but I was mistakenly informed that it was a Roman name meaning 'Thorn'.

117 is from Halo (Herp Derp Halo)... So Yeah.

My username seemed fairly original, and I found it was available on all sites I frequent, excluding XBL.

Also I am ORANGE.
That is what I am.

Spoiler: This Picture (click to show/hide)
looked like something the red-bearded (hence, Barbarossa) viking explorers would kill when they found. Also, I thought 'Barbarossa the Seal-Crusher' was distasteful.

It's my last name. Mostly because I am terribly bad at coming up with names, and would otherwise have probably come up with a pun so bad it would match my avatar avatar.
