OT: The story behind your username

[njdevils1982]

mine pays homage to the dusty benders that have thousands of posts explaining what needs to be done but never played the game.

i'm not religious but that's a clever passage for a message board

 

[JK3]

Pretty simple, just my initials JK the third.

Nice thread.

 

[My3Sons]

Aesop Rock put out an album called "None Shall Pass" around when I joined, and I thought that was a cool username, and all the other usernames I had used on other sites/games/etc were already taken.

Then the God Cory Schneider has "None shall pass" painted on one of his masks while he played here, which was a fun coincidence.

The avatar is from last season's playoffs, which is Dano and Erika from a Genucel commercial.

You can make up whatever story you want. The correct answer is it's from Monty Python. Maybe it was coopted by someone else but unless that album or Cory's mask came out before 1975 it's ultimately a Monty Python reference.

 

[Shagrat59]

Named after a Lord of the Rings Orc + the song 1959 by the Sisters of Mercy. Was my AIM and LiveJournal name 2 decades ago.

 

[MVP Zacha]

My name is just a tip of the cap to Pavel Zacha's 20-21 season when he led the team in goals and points and everyone here was still all poopie pants about him.
Previous name was Vegas P11 because I was living in Las Vegas at the time and P11 is the body code for the 1998 -2002 Infiniti G20 (Nissan Primera).

[OmNomNom]

didn't want to dox myself a few months after my account was created, but omnomnom was kind of a funny phrase going around in college at the time and that was that

 

[HBK27]

Woah so not a wrestling fan?

This thread is interesting

Cause here I always thought you were a Shawn Michaels fan and never would have known it was for Hoboken.

Ha - no, haven’t watched wrestling since the days of Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant.

I also had no idea until just now that “HBK” was associated with Shawn Michaels.

Thanks for the replies so far guys. I wasn't sure if this thread was going to grt much attention but I'm glad it's gotten a good amount so far. Some really interesting stories in here too haha.

 

[ThePrideofStockholm]

The Pride of Stockholm is Djurgårdens name that they Call themselves. If you ask any of the other Big Stockholm clubs they would Call us something else.
And the avatar is the Badge of the Third Swedish marine battalion that I served four Two years

Sweden looks like a beautiful country and I would live to visit someday. But my perception is that it must be very cold and dark in the winter.

sounds depressing as hell having the sun go down around 6 pm all year round

(i nerd out on things like this and maps)

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

My original username was Pave407 i think.

A long time ago i made a bet with @Richer's Ghost on whether Zach Parise will be named the captain of the team or not. I lost the bet and had to change my name to Capt Zachy Poo. Have been updating the name ever since every time Devils have had a new captain lol

 

[Tiredswede]

Games start 1am here in Sweden so…

 

[britdevil]

Iconic, that's how they will remember this handle...

Lurked for a good two years (found the site during the 04-05 lockout), before signing up. The Parise and Zajac picks specifically brought me here, I wanted to find out more about the future of the NJ Devils.

It's funny, I am a big Southampton FC fan and have lurked their main fans forum for going on 20 years. Never signed up. Bizarre behaviour really....

 

[MasterofGrond]

Big fan of Tolkien here, and was once concurrently 14, reading the Silmarillion, and needing a username to play WARCRAFT 3: REIGN OF CHAOS

I was able to read thr Hobbit but I tried the Fellowship of the Ring and the Silmarillion and they were slow and dense reads for me and I gave up. My loss and I wish I had been able to get into them. The movies were fun but I’m sure they don’t do the books justice.

Mine is a combination. The Mad comes from a very obscure nickname (Mad Vornskr) in an obscure Star Wars book back in the day (Thrawn Trilogy geeks will know what a vornskr is), which I also used as my username on the old Force.net forums. When I first discovered hockey message boards I figured I'd combine my two biggest fandoms into one, MadDevil. I was also a bit of a hothead back then, so the Mad could have applied to me in a lot of ways.

I always look at your sign up date and find it weird how we joined within days of each other and that we are both still active here. Weird in a "huh, funny old world innit" kind of way.

Cheers mate

There was an old video of Zubrus showing off his coffee maker in his basement and I was sold. Haven't been able to find the video since

My favorite player watching the Devils from way back. After he was gone Madden was my guy but stuck with the name.
