Here's a question I've wanted to ask some people on this forum:
Where did your user name come from?
(If you don't know where mine came from, you're not a real Magic player.) Moved to Speak your Mind-Qwerty
Well, I'm a rather large person (ok fine, I'm fat), and at least according to my friends I'm an enjoyable person. Tons of Fun is a nickname that one of my friends came up with, and it sorta stuck.
I have no idea where yours came from. Does that mean I'm not a real Magic player? 'Cause I certainly thought I was.

Every time I destroy an opponent's creature, I jump on the table, yell "Boo ya, you son of a *****!", rip the card in half, urinate on it, then forcefully shove it down my opponent's throat.
Needless to say, I don't have many players in my playgroup anymore.
Mine came from when I was signing up for magic online. I had a friend at the time that really like rap and that sort of culture and every 3rd word out of his mouth ended in izzle. As a joke, I was going to make my magic online name TheShizzle, but I didn't know how to spell it. So it ended up being TheSizzle. Why I didn't use a better username here I don't know.
I used to be a big ECW fan (and a fan of the Sandman in particular) around the time I was signing up for my first email address way back when. I've been using the same username on a lot of things ever since.

Got mine from Chrono Cross, it's also cyborg spelled backwards.

I made this a few years ago when I wanted a new AIM screen name while i was looking through a Japanese dictionary. I use it for just about everything now.
there's a joke involved with my name, but it's long forgotte. nowadays I say i tok the name because anyone on here with a vaguely intelligent name usually has nothing original to say and are similar to plastic in that they are a product yadda yadda yadda and therefore if I name myself plastik I will say vaguly intelligent and revolutionary stuff.
but it was really from a bad joke.

I like rodents. In class I used to talk a lot and make a lot of sarcastic comments. One time my friend Zach made a good comment and the teacher went "Good work Zachary!". And then in my falsest sugary teacher tone I said "Yeah, great job Zachary!". The teacher said "You're so cynical!", and so I was born. I actually prefer rats over squirrels, but CynicalRat sounds retarded. But if CynicalSquirrel is too many letters you'll probably see me as SarcasticRat.
A project I worked on in 2002 got such a bad a schedule that some of us ended up working until as late as 7 - in the morning of the next day. This forced us to get some sleep for most of the day time, then pop up in the office maybe around 4PM, file for overtime, and work again until the wee hours of the morning. 8 straight days of that, wherein I'd head for home on 7AM and see my "dayshift" colleagues going in at the company's gates.
After the coming of LOTR:FOTR into the theatres, I have been dragged into the Tolkien world, that I managed to evade for years, and I have quickly become obsessed by it. I have read all his Middle-Earth related books, and I simply love the Silmarillion. Caranthir the Dark, fourth son of Fëanor, did not have a significant role in the overall story, but the sound of the name always sends a chill down my spine. Therefore, when registering at MTGNews, I have chosen this name. I do not know if I am not breaking rule 3, but I think that just this name is not widely known even among the standard LOTR fans, thus less among others.

My "tag" on essentially everything is Blind Kijin/BlindKijin/etc, but on forums and other places, the tag usually gets broken in half.
Kijin can be broken into two characters: Ki and Jin
Ki=A horned demon or ogre
Jin=A person
Kijin=a demonically evil or ogrish person
Blind Kijin can be essentially summarized as a person who pays no heed to and/or disregards what is good and just, which is essentially my inverse.
My names origins come from 'Lex Media Productions' which is my film company. I took "Lex" and added the "A" in front in recognition of my religion, Agnosticism. The plus is from early Egyptian times where the + was the symbol for a devout ruler.
Together, they form "Alex+" and that has been my forum name since 1987.
