Nurplewhip Report post Posted January 20, 2009 I get a lot of questions about my name, so I'll blab on myself here. I got a hamster in highschool. A boyfriend I had at the time made up 3 names for my new pet and I named the little guy all 3 of them. Part of one of the names he made up was "Nurplewhip". I thought it was cute at the time and it always stuck with me, so I used it for my EL name. Sorry to break a few people's hearts, but Nurplewhip is NOT a new berry flavored cool whip. ~Da Nurple~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nerdz Report post Posted January 20, 2009 Nerdz-Its been a couple years since Ive had this tag, but I think I choose it partially because of my personality and Likes. Yea Im a Nerd in real life , but Nerd and geek are pretty broad terms. I took it mostly because of my love of science and engineering. On a off topic note, some n00b on channel 1 complained about my name be derogatory, Of course, he doesnt know the story behind it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monkeyb00y Report post Posted January 20, 2009 Back in the day when AOL was the coolest, along with dial up internet, , my best friend at the time has a screen name: SKAB00Y, where the oo's were 00's (zeroes). Keep that in mind. Then when Nintendo 64 along with Super Mario Kart 64 came out, each of my friends had to chose a favorite. In video games, I usually chose the really slow strong characters: Zanghief, E.Honda (not slow), T.Hawk, Jack (Tekken), and in this case, I tried Bowser. Very slow & fastest in the game. But too slow. So a step up is Donkey Kong. So I tried him out. I was hooked & everyone hated me after that. Especially when I would play against them in Battle Mode (very fun by the way). I would always get the star somehow & they would say, "Monkey cheats!" or "Stupid Monkey!" or "Monkey's got a star!" So when I created my AOL account after that it was Monkeyb00y. This is my only gametag & it's sticking with me until the end. I'll probably get a tatoo of it. or not Cya round EL. Monkeyb00y xbox live: Monkeyb00y Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thyralax Report post Posted January 20, 2009 Thyralax was a dragon trapped in a statuette from an adventure we ran a long time ago, since then he has had numerous incarnations. Back before i even had a PC. Most of my friends remember him for the time he bargained his way through a temple dedicated to a dark god, offering all of the monsterous guardians better rates of pay, or for the really hungry ones a better quality of meal.... Yes of course come work for me and i can promise youll get to fill your bellies with as many tasty little goody two shoe halflings as you can stomach. And then since the wonderful world of pc's and online play Thyralax has become the standard name i use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
