Our screen names and why we have them
Thought the other thread was this, and decided to make this when I saw it was not.
So heapers? How'd you get your screen name, or even run through a list if you have many.
Mine was GURPSer42 for a while because I loved the RPG system GURPS.
Changed to Justice because of how frickin' cool this guy is:

If you don't understand, read a frigging book on cryptology.
Don't google it or use the internet, you cheater, do some actual work.
One of my favorite parts of US 36, in Delaware, Ohio, is called William Street
But TVT already had a William (*waves to ponicalica*), so I went with an nearby road: Central Avenue!
It was originally some convoluted metaphor about dusty hot beats, but mostly I just like how it sounds.
I am Miko because of Touhou.

Anyway, back when I saw 14, I saw Yojimbo for the first time and I loved the main character, but I didn't want my username to be Kuwabatake Sanjuro, so I used thenamelesssamurai as an indirect reference and the name stuck.
an acceptable answer
I'm boring.
a8 is meaningless and i can't remember how i decided on it
Fourier was after a dead French physicist, Fouria G was my personalized version of the same
the Jabberwock is a creature described in a poem in Alice Through the Looking-Glass
Khwarizmi was after al-Khwārizmī, who invented modern algebra
Stab-Copper-in-the-Face was a tongue-in-cheek bit of rebellious nonsense, Stabby was an abbreviation of the same
Taylor Mill was a reference to Harriet Taylor Mill, feminist philosopher and wife of John Stuart Mill
tachyon-time is just what i called my tumblr because tachyon was taken
Booby G was in response to people spelling my name wrong all the time
a Martello was a fort, Fast Eddie was a character from The Hustler, the Shichibukai are a group of pirates from One-Piece, and nautatrol is, as i hoped was obvious, a reference to both nautiluses and Homestuck
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
That parody fell by the wayside, but for some reason the word "metaphoragizery" stuck with me, and I decided to make that (or variations on it) my online handle. Meta4 was the variation I used at TV Tropes—I could have just as easily gone with Mezzaphor or Metaphizzle instead. Then I changed that to Meta Four because that was easier to type (owing to the way TVT handled two-word links vs one-word links).
During Octo8er I was Medusa, of Greek mythology and also kinda o8vious.
On TVT I'm "Ozbourne" which is something a friend decided to re-name me to a while ago, and I liked it so I used it as a username in various places.
As for Odradek, well, some say the word Odradek is of Slavonic origin, and try to account for it on that basis. Others again believe it to be of German origin, only influenced by Slavonic. The uncertainty of both interpretations allows one to assume with justice that neither is accurate, especially as neither of them provides an intelligent meaning of the word.
No one, of course, would occupy himself with such studies if there were not a creature called Odradek.
One is tempted to believe that the creature once had some sort of intelligible shape and is now only a broken-down remnant. Yet this does not seem to be the case; at least there is no sign of it; nowhere is there an unfinished or unbroken surface to suggest anything of the kind; the whole thing looks senseless enough, but in its own way perfectly finished. In any case, closer scrutiny is impossible, since Odradek is extraordinarily nimble and can never be laid hold of.
I ask myself, to no purpose, what is likely to happen to him? Can he possibly die? Anything that dies has had some kind of aim in life, some kind of activity, which has worn out; but that does not apply to Odradek. Am I to suppose, then, that he will always be rolling down the stairs, with ends of thread trailing after him, right before the feet of my children, and my children's children? He does no harm to anyone that one can see; but the idea that he is likely to survive me I find almost painful.
the pun is unintended.
also this is a great thing to have!
