What Is The Story Behind Your Screen Name?

**The Gentleman Scamp** · 02-11-2007, 01:49 AM

Back in 2003 when I was only reading Thaivisa, I considered joining but couldn't think of a name I liked, though I was nearly Ed Nonails.

It was after reading an interview in Britains Q Magazine with Peter Gabriel which described him as The Gentleman Scamp and I decided that would be a fitting name for me also and lost my forum virginity six months later.

A member named 'Basher' was the first to come up with the nickname 'Scampy' in April 2004 and the rest is history.

Nah, he only drinks outside the supermarket and its those big bottles of that horse beer for Bt23.

My real name is National Velvet, but it doesn't go with my current hairdo.

Just thought the world of that 'old dog'

He had a good innings and I miss him, so I stick his pic up there as a memory.

I'm a big Seinfeld fan. In fact, there is a rerun showing on the TV as I type.

**NickA** · 02-11-2007, 07:44 AM

I thought that was the name of your dog that passed away about 4 years ago.

MeMock is my nickname.

**Wallalai** · 02-11-2007, 08:02 AM

Simple, the first four letters of my name and surname.

**mrsquirrel** · 02-11-2007, 08:11 AM

I was known as Squirrel where I came from. I was never very good at capitalization of words.

A moment of complete and utter lack of inspiration - I couldn't think of anything even remotely funny/clever/witty. Except for 'CatPuncher', and that's not really funny/clever/witty now that I think about it actually.

Why?

NickA has been my nickname since I was 12, cos I couldn't spell me second name.

**Mr Earl** · 02-11-2007, 09:09 AM

A catchy tune by the Cadillacs
Also made famous by Ry Cooder.

Mine is name of a very old Thai brand of aspirin. I first saw the package with Mr Big Head on it years ago and really, really liked it. Very hard to find these days:

**kingwilly** · 02-11-2007, 09:22 AM

my real name is william, hence willy is my nicname.

in the early 30's there was a radio advertisement for a brand of breakfast cereal wheeties - they had a mascot and and a catchy tune of King willy wheeties.

hence Kingwilly!

nothing to do with any other allusions to bodily anatomy!

And little wonder, by the looks of the packaging it causes mutations!

Nigga is the correct spelling.

I have all episodes all series on DVD.
In China many years ago living in a cheapish hotel with a ho bar downstairs, a mate was passing through town and crashed in my room for a couple of days, we got pissed as newts in the bar downstairs and I dragged some skank ho back. I was so pissed I'm going the growl and said to mate, 'here, have a go at this' and offered him a growl.
Next day he tells me he got within two feet of it and nearly threw up.
Been known as Cujo in a select circle of old friends ever since.

Norton, a character from one of my favorite TV programs. Norton, the brand name of my first motorcycle. Norton, name of a close friend on a memorial in Wash DC.

Would that memorial be the Vietnam War Memorial by any chance?

Dr Bob is a character from the muppet show, the internet is full of muppets and I wanted to fit in. It's also partly in homage to Dr Robert Oppenheimer - any man who can set off a nuclear bomb and then say "I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds*" is pretty cool in my book. The 0 in my nick is from BIFF style studlycaps.

(*quote originally from Bhagavad Ghita, I believe)

**NickA** · 02-11-2007, 11:32 AM

No rhyme nor reason.
