My name originated as a derogatory nickname distortion I used against a particularily obnoxious member of a politically-themed forum. I didn't really mean to use this account for much besides asking DF stuff, and I did not expect anyone to pick a simmilar nickname, afterwards. (needless to say, I was mistaken)

"Kaijyuu" has never been taken by anyone but me... except once way back when I first started playing FF11. Which is odd because it's a butchering of a japanese word, and a slightly less butchered version (Kaijuu) went through.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

"Levi" is usually taken, so I'm surprised I got that username here.  I like it because its short and easy for people to remember.

When its taken I usually choose "Asparagus".   :P

Greiger just about everywhere.  If Greiger is taken which happens surprisingly often I go with either Greiger2 or "Greigerwitha2".

I think the only place I haven't used Greiger in recent memory is a source mod game called Eternal Silence.  Which due to it sharing a lot of things with Freespace I went with the name Alpha One.

I tend to use a lot of different names for different sites. I've been trying to standardize it under 'Slag,' but I've made so many accounts in various places that I can't really change the fact that I have far too many pseudonyms.

I'm so creative I named my forum account after myself. Everywhere else it's lrcp and that's been free, although there was the time I met LNCP and we were all "whoa so similar".

Aside from new forums that sprang up from here, the only other name I use anywhere is Antedeluvius, and that's only on N@W.

The Merchant of Menace would be rather widely used though, I imagine.

Bdthemag is never taken, anywhere.

Its a nickname my dad called me when I was a kid.

Out of curiosity, where did Merchant of Menace come from in the first place? I've seen the phrase on several 70's era anti-media and anti-gay propaganda books (that we usually pulp because there's no real market for political works that outdated).

Its pronounced Bee-Dee-The-Mag.

I know there are other Bauglirs (ripping off Tolkien will do that for you), but, much like people who've been arrested for copyright infringement, I've never met one.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Probably originated as a sort of parody of The Merchant of Venice. Apologies if I'm stating the obvious here.

Anyway, I only use this username nowadays, though before this I would use Voren or some variation. Voren was an OC of mine that I'd really rather forget, hence the name change.

Frenchmen literally pirate 6000 copies of new Call of Duty game.

No, not pirate as in giant argument in the diable 3 thread, pirate as in "We be stealing yer truck of games, yar."
