What is the story with your username on Foot.ie?

[the 12 th man]

anybody any stories relating to how they got their foot.ie
name.
mine is a bit boring.i hear the expression 12 th man most sunday mornings and i suppose 12 apostles and 12 jury members.
with some of the excellent names some people have on this site ,there has got to be some good stories out there.

come on lads be brave:D

[Paddy Ramone]

No funny stories, but the Undertones were nicknamed the Paddy Ramones by the music press. I like the Undertones, so I picked Paddy Ramone which is a good name for an Irish punk.

[tetsujin1979]

Mine's a bit odd, I was (and still am) fairly handy at Tekken on Playstation. I held the record in CVG (Computer and Video Games mag) for consecutive victories in Tekken 2 for 2 months. Anyway, in Japan a video game championship is held where the best of the best play off against each other. The title "Tetsujin" (it means Iron Man) is given to a player who wins at least 90 of 100 fights in a row, without food, water or breaks. So I took it ;) I tried to create a hotmail account before with tetsujin, but it was already registered, so I added 1979 (the year I was born) and 5 years later I still use it as my username in pretty much everything.

Same here :)

[eoinh]

well mine is so self-explaining that i wont relate it (also very dull really).


I knew my brother knew someone on this board extremely well but i could never figure it out. That is, until it dawned on me about three weeks ago.

I should have spotted it months ago! You have strong views man!;)

[the 12 th man]

there is no way "piratemousey" got his off his birth cert.
or is there?????:D

[sadloserkid]

When I was about 17 I decided to set up a hotmail account, tried about 2 and a half million different combinations with no joy and decided to go with something that nobody else ever would - sadloserkid.

It's supposed to be a statement of irony and not the usual teen angst bs too.

It's since been *******ised into slk and when I'm really too old to use sadloserkid on a full time basis (I'm 23 tomorrow) then I'll probably adopt slk on a full-time basis.

[Paddy Ramone]

Besides the fact the Undertones were nicknamed the Paddy Ramones, Paul McCartney used sign into hotels using the alias Paul Ramone. So Ramone is a good name to use an alias.

Paul McCartney was Dee Dee's favourite Beatle, which is how the Ramones got their name. I think if an Irishman had ever joined the Ramones he would have been called Paddy Ramone.:D

[SÓC]

Mine was just my initials plus cfc becuase soc was registered on most sites.

Then recent I got a cyber-circumcision so just plain old SÓC again.

[Plastic Paddy]

I became so sick of being called a "plastic" that I decided if I couldn't beat them, I'd join 'em. So, just like Black people who refer to each other as "nîgga" or gay people who refer to each other as "queer", I decided to reclaim the "plastic" sobriquet for myself. So there you go.

:D PP - Plastic and Proud!

[pineapple stu]

Drinking a litre carton of pineapple juice at every game. Plus being a student when I started calling myself that on the old eL messageboard...

Mine - it was my nick name when I first went on line (After my American cousin). Besides, don't like all the publicity my real name attracts...

[tiktok]

i have the world's most common name which is a pain when you're trying to come up with handles...anyway few years back, sitting in a internet cafe trying to come up with a mail address, clock on the wall was driving me mad, it was frustration and the fact that ticktock was gone.

for the laugh though, i googled tiktok, very very sad,

C'mon Pineapple ... tell us the real story !! :)

Had a pineapple challenge at a couple of matches - drinking two litres of pineapple juice at a match. That's gruesome! So's a litre of grapefruit juice...:eek:

Full (boring!) story - heading into Dalymount in April 2000, took the last tenner out of my bank account and went into Tesco's - decided to buy a litre of pineapple juice for the game. We won 2-1 (our second win in Dalyer ever) and went on to qualify for Europe, so I kept it up as a lucky mascot-type thing!

Had one occasion in Cork when most of the UCD fans were being kicked out for drinking in the stands and the steward told me to leave. I told him I wasn't leaving 'cos I wasn't drinking and he asked me what was in the carton. I told him pineapple juice and he said "Yeah right". So I gave the carton to him, he opened it and had a sniff and gave it back to me with a disgusted look on his face!:D Didn't get kicked out either!

[b_mcsweeney]

mines birth cert based, but i'm assuming that max power also considered the pseudonyms "Hercules Rockefeller", "Rembrandt Q. Einstein" and "Handsome B. Wonderful".

[the scout]

well in my younger days i was in fact a scout for "the bhoys" in good ould
glasgeh city.i spent my days in the hinterland of scotland watching up and comming talent progressing through the ranks.i was responsible for looking at the lower divisions to see if there was any talent there waiting to be discovered.many a cold day i spent watching queen of the south v
dumbarton and similar glamour ties.my all time favourite scoreline which i almost witnessed was east fife 5 fofar 4.

jim kerr and myself were great buddies as you know he is a big fan.

one day i //ah em ahem/you dont believe a word of it do you?

well i just liked the name ok:cool:

was i getting away with that spoof lads til i blew it or was it immediately recognised as tossology??

[dahamsta]

No exciting story for mine I'm afraid, it's just a gradual morph from "webmaster" to "webhamster" to "webhamsta" to "dahamsta". Yawn.

I used Vetinari on sites where I was "the boss", after The Patrician of Ankh-Morpork in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, but I'm on so many forums as "dahamsta" I decided I might as well be dahamsta across the board.

[brendy_éire]

Mine's is another Hotmail-inspired creation. Tried 'Brendan', then 'Brendy', it suggested 'brendy_ireland', I went for 'brendy_éire', but then had to settle for 'brendy_eire'. To this day it still annoys me that I can't put the fada in.

[NigeSausagepump]

No idea really.

Seemed like a good idea at the time. Seems less so now!

It's a long story....

Ok, I'll make something up.

When I was in 4th class in school, our teacher took us on a tour of Granby's sausage factory in the centre of Dublin. When we arrived, the owner of the factory, Mr Granby, greeted us and introduced us to his son, Nigel, who was to show us around the factory and give us an insight into how sausages were made.

Now, the tour was fascinating, loads of gleaming machines, squealing pigs and menacing churning noises. As we finished the tour, Nigel leaned against the balcony over the vast sausage pumping machine and began asking us whether we'd enjoyed our little trip. As we readily affirmed our approbation, poor Nigel fell foul of the shoddy safety regulations rampant in mid 1980s Ireland. The railing he was leaning on gave way and he tumbled headlong into the sausage pumping machine. The result was predictably gory, and it has lived with me to this day.

My handle is a tribute to that brave, brave sausage making man. I still believe that he is happy wherever he is, because he left this world in the form of the one thing he truly loved - the humble sausage.

You might want to rethink that one - saw an article on one of the Ramones lately who has come out in favour of Dubya and said that he was a Republican throughout his punk years and remains anti-abortion, anti-gun restriction, anti-gay marriages etc. etc. That SUCKS maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan...

You sound like a bloody hippy. So what if one of the Ramones has unpolitically correct views. The one you're talking about is Johnny Ramone who is well known as having right wing views. But that don't change the fact he was a great guitar player.

But what you didn't mention was that lead singer Joey Ramone is a Jewish liberal leftie. He wrote the song Bonzo goes to Bitburg about Reagan visiting a Nazi cemetery. He also wrote the lyric "I wanna steal from the rich and give to the poor".

The Ramones were a brilliant band and without them there'd be no Clash, Undertones, Green Day or U2. The Ramones used write songs like Today Your Love Tommorrow The World with Nazi references to wind up the politically correct hippies. How could they be Nazis with a Jewish singer.
