        My best friend kept typo'ing zombie to zobi one night while he was talking about playing Plants VS Zombies, all the while trying to call me a zombie.

        I liked it so much I decided to take it and roll with it as a character name on WoW for a fresh rogue I had wanted to roll. It's been my nickname places ever since.

          I wanted a name un-associated with my usual Internet Identity when I first joined WORA because I was embarrassed to be associated with you lot. So I snagged the name of the Cross Applied Technologies SpecOps group from Shadowrun and added two random numbers to the end of it.

              A bad transliteration of Π²ΠΎΡ€ΠΈ ΠΌΠ°Ρ‚Ρ€ΠΈΡˆΠΎΠΊΠ° which is vory (plural of thief/criminals) and matryoshka dolls.

                I have been around forever but never really involved with the main things going on just sorta always on the edge of things so I am "that guy that is sort of there." but that is long as hell so it is "thatguythere" I use it here and a wrestling board and a Big Brother board.

                Same, just always been That One Dude.

                  I drew a pinup style picture of my very first WoW character (named Rizu, created during the almighty '04 beta). Her rear was very...voluptuous. So, the name stuck.

                    Because it is the most underrated treatment for bi-polar and had such a bad rap for so long.

                    Seriously, I've had doctors refuse to prescribe it when it's the only thing that works on me.

                      Mine comes from My Best Friend's Wedding, a quote that stuck:

                      M: Lower. The pus that infects the mucus... that cruds up the fungus... that feeds on the pond scum.

                            KillerKlown was my handle from way back in the BBS days - round about 1988 or so. I couldn't think of anything, but idly saw an ad for 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' and was like 'yeah, what the hell'.

                            So, short answer; laziness.

                              I used to play AT-43 (a now defunct miniatures game) and one of my favorite models was a Wraith Golgoth.

                              Also, Golgoth was a god that certain lesser beings worshiped in Doctor Who... So there is that, too, I guess.

                                Because I work with the public and often feel like stabbing people in their faces.

                                  So basically you're my alt.

                                  And yet no one has noticed how we never seem to argue with each other.

                                  That would be tedious.

                                          Puppies have nice breath. And I wanted something I didn't use anywhere else.

                                          The name I use in gaming (video, not Mu) is ScaredyFloof. I came up with that because I like the word floof and I'm afraid of everything. Also I want/wanted to stream/create with the name and it was available on pretty much every platform.
