Origins/meanings of Display Names?

[hardtack 10,126]

From an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies in which the Hollywood actor Dash Riprock’s (aka Homer Noodleman) friend and fellow actor Crunch Hardtack impressed Jethro so much that he decided to give himself the stage name of Beef Jerky... for some reason Hardtack seemed like a pretty good name to have.

[Dee Zephyr 17,411]

A close friend part-owned a racehorse called Dan Zephyr. I was previously Demon77 and was looking to change my display name early last year. The name Dee Zephyr was suggested to me by another member on here and I thought it was fitting as the horse was going through a long drought of over two years without a win. 

A week or two after changing my name the horse comes out and wins his last ever race to end the drought. The name stays until the main drought is over.

Original and obscure. Love it

Way better than some here who have boringly named themselves after their geographical location

Have you thought of moving to Melbourne's leafy inner east and calling yourself Far Kew?

Or if that's too far south for you, you could move to Kurnell just out of Sydney. Obviously not Inner Kurnell. Far Kurnell is a much better place to be.

My first username was vincehotboy,, because vincenzo being my first name and because demons live in fire, but someone said I was gay because of my user name, so I changed it to angry demon, but there is a angrydee and some where getting us mixed up.

As a kid my favorite show was the hulk, and my most common  saying to my kids is don't make me angry.

Hi FND.

Hows the weather up there about now?  Penny making mischief ?   I don't know how the ground can mop it all up.

Salute to the greatest political slogan I can remember. I believe Singleton came up with it for Labor's 1972 campaign which broke their 23 year electoral drought. Drought breaking hit an obvious nerve for a lifelong Dees supporter. When I chose it in about 2007 I thought we were entering the new era that was going to break our drought and I didn't expect it to be relevant for more than a few years. Oh well. Will gladly replace it when it becomes redundant. Although by then it will be relevant to the 2 peat and then the 3 peat etc. 

The slogan and it's success had some significant impacts on my families lives. My brother had just been advised he was going in the next lottery for conscription to the Vietnam war. Whitlam won the election and immediately stopped conscription which probably saved my brother going there. He also brought in free tertiary education which I benefited directly from. That slogan heralded in one of the craziest political periods in our history. A breathtaking series of political reforms such as the Marriage Act and land rights and economic madness like the Khemlani affair and Junie Morosi. Who'll ever forget Al Grassby. Ahh they were the days. All leading to our greatest political crisis. 

What a slogan.

My avatar succinctly sums me up. We were born on the same day. Not the same year though. I got the clown bit without the genius bit but hopefully a healthy sense of the absurd.  Other less kind people might say I got the absurd without anything else. Anyhow..... It's Time.

Judging by your avatar you're a Usual Suspect. 

When Biffen was playing for us his father Leo, worked for my father and was a game day trainer for the team. I used to go down and annoy him with a thousand questions every time I went to my father's business. He used to give me used MFC training footys. I felt like a millionaire.

Still waiting for Jaded to respond and explain whether her real name is Jade with a surname starting with D or whether her user name is just a description about how she feels. Or both.

At the time I joined Demonland we were a joke on and off the field and if you didn't laugh you'd have to cry. Hence, a kind of comedy. 

Note: I'm not a fan of users changing their names without explanation. In the spirit of full disclosure, I changed my name once - but only because I couldn't spell Comedia correctly.

Reminds me of an American sex education video we were shown in a Religious Studies class in about Year 9 at school. This was mid '70's. A kid was standing outside his High School with a beaming face proudly saying "I got it!" 

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

I changed mine back in 2011 when we had a 96 pt win over Adelaide at home after being only 14pts up at half time. It was false dawn time and i was standing on the seats belting out the song as loud as i could after the siren. The line, "what do we sing" just stuck in my head all the way home as did the smile that always follows that line.....it became obvious upon returning home what needed to be done.
