Story behind your log in name?

[melonkernel]

After registering several accounts on the internet i got frustrated that some names are taken. So i emptied my head an tried to think of a name none had so i could use it everywhere. And for some reason melon seeds (melon kärna in swedish) came into my mind, and i made a intentionally crude translation into english, word for word, and it became melon kernel.
thus melonkernel, (melon is also a snowboarding trick (another hobby of mine) and a kernel is the core in an operating system (Computer science is my field))

[BIGBAMAK5]

When I was in college I bought a 1974 Chevrolet K5 Blazer for $400. Fixed it up and put a lift on it. That is where the Big and K5 come from. Bama comes from Alabama cause that is where I live.

[TASMITH]

simply used the first two initials of my name of my given names. Easy and readily identifiable.

Terry

[Tald the dead]

Im a gamer. Tald was from a RPG game (name was Tald the wise) and then I started playing these first person shooters and died all the time. So I changed it to Tald the dead, since I was always the first to die in the games. I keep the name with other forums so I dont get confused with login. Some seem to think the name is negative or implying some interest in death. Nope just a d00d who likes to play some games after work.

[rmcpb]

My initials and its a combination that is not used so far by anyone else on the web that I have encountered.

[Hammered]

I just want to point out that my name is NOT making any reference to alcohol or any other mindaltering substance other than blacksmithing.
First time I spent the day in my friend's shop, I was a bit like a kid in a candy store. At the end of the day my head was spinning with all sorts of ideas, and I was still trying to digest everything he'd taught/shown me that day. You could almost say it was a bit of a high.
I can pretty much say that I was hooked from that day forward. I was "hammered".
