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.

Explains why you bought this car - I've always said 6th Gens [especially silver ones] look like sharks from the front.

I am Random and to you all I am only known as a Stranger. I do know know not of anyone well enough for either one of us to be considered friends. I am Random in all thoughts, emotions, and speech mannerisms. What can I say? I find this world and the beings within it quite interesting.

pertition to change this mans s/n from random stranger to weird creepy stranger

Are all of the things different from you regarded with such rude comments? Or was someone having a bad day?

And people wonder why there is "innocent" victims of random acts of violence. Perhaps they should look into what those who lashed out in rage were victims of and for how long, to gain a better understanding for the things they have done. Someone is forced to live, as we all never asked for life. People hold those who appear (or have been told are) "unique", and right away are casted aside by society. Perhaps you should watch how you treat others, before you find yourself in a situation you cannot help yourself in. Take it how you want to. Just friendly advice.

People who intentionally look different and listen to music that is not considered mainstream should not take offense to the labels "weird", "strange" or "creepy". Unless of course that is they are just looking for attention in which case - well - you got it. I myself always just found it to be a nice compliment from people I wouldn't want to be like in the first place.


Neg@tive - It's what my family/teachers always called me, it's the name of my Industrial band, it's my bank account. It just fits.
