Timoteo32
7th March 2007, 12:43 AM
My name is Timothy and in Spanish it's Timoteo. I've always really liked it and 32 was my basketball number in HS.
If you're ever trying to track me down I'm Timoteo32 or Timoteo3232 at virtually every major IM/email you can think of :P

Infidel
7th March 2007, 12:45 AM
well when i first started playing over a year ago my handle was schildo. i became good friends with irockyouknowit and we started a group within gc named infidels. after a long break i forgot the password and had to make a new one.(Tyler or EAGLE already disabled the old one) so infidel it was.

i used to hook up my friends with ice( you know. the drug) and every 1 used to call me iceman. so thats what i use in all online games i play. iceman is cool but i think that using the letter X at the begining and at the end makes the name even cooler :hidey: so there you go. thats how XicemanX was born. nothing to do with the guy that used to be a killer

Claur
12th March 2007, 03:20 PM
Let's see.. Long story about my handle, but will try and keep it interesting..


I'm Irish, but went to live in NYS in `91. Anyways, the kids in MS were not very original, and landed me with Lucky-Charms. Anyways, over the years, that got shortened down to Lucky and eventually Lux. Only problem was that when I went to start signing up for games and forums, that was normally taken.

So doing a quick mental leap, I chose Clauricaun(e). For those of you who don't know, Lucky-Charms is a Leprechaun and a Clauricaun(e) is another name for one. It comes from the Munster region of Ireland, while Leprechaun is from Connaught and Ulster. Anyways, that got shortened down to Claur, which is the name I use on nearly everything.

Long story slightly shorter

and if anyone ever meets her kill val!

tuna_monkey
14th March 2007, 03:09 AM
long story that I've posted before but am too lazy to look up. the short version:

I had a shitty senior year and was really depressed. After finals I went on an amazing roadtrip with 2 kids I barely knew. That trip more or less made me who I am today. I came back the happiest I had been in a long time and with my 2 best friends.

I took this pillow thats shaped like a monkey on the trip and my friend spilled tuna on it. From then on out he was known as tuna monkey.

That monkey has become a symbol of the freedom of the road and my friendship with my travel buddies to me. I go to school 1100 miles from home (and my friends) and the truth is, I'm not a good person for school. I don't like to be in one place for more than a week or two and I always get stir crazy. When I get down, tuna monkey is always there to remind me that theres adventure waiting and even if I can't see em everyday, there are people that love me.

I use the name as a tribute to the amazing trip, and my travel buddies and all they've done for me. kinda corny i know, but I also like that its unique (I have yet to run into another tuna_monkey)

wil-deBeast is the nick name my riding buddies gave to me years ago at a biker bash, it was funny at the time since we were all wasted, they got it confused with a Wildebeest (the animal - well that part fits too) and it's stuck for almost 20 years - most just call me "deBeast" or "beasty" now

Yeah that's what I said 20 years ago - I ain't no "spring-chicken" but I can put most of them to shame!
