So, tell us about your user name..............

[Boaf]

Hi,
Mine is from an ancient Viz comic, in their spoof Reader's letters page 'Letterbox'. The letter went something like this: "I sent my husband out to the shops to get a loaf of bread and a packet of biscuits. Imagine my surprise when he returned with a boaf of lread and a backet of piscuits!!" Very silly I know, but I like a bit of surreal humour and wordplay.

Although not quite my favourite Hawkwind album it works better for me than ' Hall Of The Mountain Grill'

[MartinT]

Well, you could have called yourself 'Do-Re-Mi...'

[take5]

Well, in case you hadnt already guessed, Im named after the jazz tune.

This is usually credited to Dave Brubeck, but was in fact written by the alto sax player from the Brubeck quartet, Paul Desmond.

It takes its name from its time signature, in that it is in 5 / 4 time. ie five beats to a bar.
Desmond says that he got the rhythmic idea when he was in a casino playing the slot machines. One of the machines was playing the "groove" which he pinched.

Had a guy who worked for me in the UK called Kumar of Hindu Indian extraction and he used to call me Stupinder...name stuck thereafter.

[moonlight knight]

Don't know if this is the right place to put this, but I certainly think it should be a sticky somewhere.

I'm often intrigued as to the stories behind people's user names - and there's nearly always a story behind every one.
So, why don't you tell us about the origin of the name you've chosen to be identified with on the Art of Sound?



Your enormously self-depricating starter for ten:

The Grand Wazoo - The Big Arse...............also the name of one of my favourite Frank Zappa albums.

[ceejaydee]

So a brief explanation...

I used to be church_of_hawkwind but Marco has kindly changed my username to ceejaydee which is a phonetic spelling of my initials.

Can't be simpler than that eh

[Barry]

Why did you want to change your Forum name?

[Ninanina]

My username is NINANINA....

We had a boat, a trimaran, of 30' with a 22' beam which was called Nina, so my username is NINANINA...

Not that it was the best boat we ever had but it was the one with the best name, kind of !!...

We have had MUCH better sailors since Nina but it is the one in which we probably did the most traveling... we went to Alderney and Cherbourg many a times in her... a tremendously stable platform but certainly NOT the best sailor at all.... the best sailor goes to the Cutlass 27 and Nicholson 32 we subsequently owned

BUT the name has always stuck so NINANINA it is....
