mark tonin Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I like this thread. Ditto. I have trouble remembering names, usernames, passwords, etc. so I wanted to keep it as simple as possible when I first signed up in the phish sanctuary days. Therefore, Mark Tonin became mark tonin on the board. It still makes me smile when people come up to me and say "hey there mark tonin." In most situations, it is odd to greet somebody in that way (first and last name). I remember the first few times it happened I didn't really know why and then ding ding ding the light bulb went on and I got it. A couple of times over the years I've thought of changing it to something else, but heck, I get confused easily and I'm sure that a name change would add to my confusion! Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousepad Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 mark tonin gave the harvard mouse guys the opportunity to play in public, and turned us on to this place. the mouse theme seemed to work perfectly, and so there are several of us with mousy monikers.

SolarGarlic Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 "Control for smilers can't be boughtThe solar garlic starts to rotWas it for this my life I sought?"When I joined "Phishsanctuary.com" I figured a phishy name would be most suitable. The lyric itself holds absolutely no meaning to me whatsoever. I have, however, enjoyed the cosmic nature of life and surely embrace the full love and power of the almighty garlic. It is very strange to be greeted/introduced as such but the nerdy flavour of phish needs to live on somehow I suppose.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Velvet has been my nickname for years to a select few. Now it is my nickname to a great many.It's a bit goofy but it sure beats the nicknames I had as a kid. Edited May 22, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgnor Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Here here Velveeta, I had some rough ones when I was a kid... cupcake, hair, fat... real creative stuff. When I moved to Toronto and joined a hip hop group I got the name Medisin, but when Sugarmegs/Megrocker signed me up for the board after my first ComeToGive'er Festival I had to pick a name that I wouldn't mind explaining. The first name that came to me was Thorgnor because that's what my dad wanted to name me... sadly my mother disagreed with him. My initials wouldn't have worked... IP. Oh yeah, some people call me the Guv'nor... I think it's cause I fuckin'rule!!!! Edited May 22, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allison Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 My original username on here (dirtybird) was a nickname a friend gave me after a CTMF...because I was so filthy and feeble in the a.m (also covered in sticky goo) I resembled a bird surviving an oil spill.I preferred it to "dirtbitch" which another, better friend labelled me with.

d_rawk Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 In 1999 Q107 had the greatest bands of all time and we kept voting for Kim so much the finals came down to The Beatles, The Stones, Zeppelin, Neil Young & Kim Mitchell (Neil Young only won by 51% of the vote and I think they rigged it because Kim was getting too huge). We would call and say "there's 8 of us at Mr Lube that wanna vote for Max Webster, or there's 5 of us at Subway that wanna vote for Kim Mitchell"Haha, I remember that well. We had both apartment's phone lines tied up all day.d_jango is a self-deprecating reference to a temporary stint as a gold bug, which, as one of my favourite westerns makes clear, is a clear and certain path to misery and misfortune.My original nick was much less interestingly a different spelling of an old high-school nickname.

Uncle Chaos Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 I was really high with a buddy watching south Park. It was an episode with Butters and his alter-ego prfessor Chaos, and I got the idea of his uncle being named Uncle Chaos. I laughed for 8-12 weeeks, and here i am today. :susel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YearsAlongTheSea Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Mine is an excerpt from the Disco Biscuits song Magellan. I really like it in context but something about the words on their own has a nice ring to it."Earlier this morning as I sit upon the bow,In the distance my homeland but I just don't know how,Years along the sea and I thought I'd find the sun,Once around the world and now I think I'm done."

[/quote']Hideaway? The Hideaway Campground...that is the name of one Native campground in the area which is sadly no more...there was an incident involving booze, drugs, underage party goers, overactive and angry natives, a weapon and one gunshot which was fatal for the young, over enthusiastic raver. Very sad events that led to the place being shut down. I have heard a rumour in the area that it will be reopened as a mini-put. g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
