Screen Name origins, why/how did you choose yours? Options

[axelrduvirage]

just another post about how you came about choosing your screen name.



some are pretty self-explanitory..names like OrangeCelicaGT, SeattleChick78 are easy to guess. others like overbasher645, h438467fg0w need interpretation. what is the story behind yours?



mine came about when we played Microprose's GrandPrix 2 F1 race simulator. my good friend Mario had no idea how to brake into turns. just fly through like a bat outta hell and make up the time on the next straight-- that was his motto. i kept telling him to brake, then accelerate out of the apex of the turn "accélère du virage!". he would usually tell me to shutup and taunt me "accélère du virage, accélère du virage, accélère du virage!!" when i was driving. anyway it litteraly means: to accelerate out of a turn. change the spelling and you have a nifty sceen name and player name for racing games-- Axel R duVirage.



BTW if its all looks like French to you you're right. good old fashioned 17th century acadian french, not that pretentious parisian French.

Relax Random, it's supposed to be a joke. When posting on the forum you lose the facial expressions which would clearly indicate his comment as humor. I actually find your "random" comments interesting and definately not inline with what is expected coming from someone of your appearance.

Mine was my call sign back in my military days.

I apologize. You are right. Perhaps I should not allow myself to be so vulnerable to simple words as well. Although I must admit, they can hurt more than the wounds inflicted by physical weapons. Not to get all high-jackish on anyone, but thank you for your comment. No one ever does expect it.
