Skippy Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 (edited) Skippy is a name that one of my best friends calls everyone. He can not remember anyones name ever. So now everyone is "hey Skippy" to him. Way back when I came here to the Huddle I was trying to think of a name that I would remember just in case I ever happen to come back and Skippy was born. Now my kids like to joke and call me Skippy but in real life I am not Skippy. Edited August 19, 2005 by Skippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glabra Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Last year I was in an IDP auction league with DMD. We did the draft over the internet in a chat room. David was the auctioneer and he loved saying, "Going, Going, Gone" before a player is sold. After a while it became a lot of typing so he abbreviated it by putting the current bid price followed by 'g', 'gg', and finally, 'ggg.' I took my defensive player way too early and paid $10 for him. Maybe I burned an early pick, but I wanted to make sure I got a defensive back from the A-list, or as I used to say, a "DBA." Ever since then, he's been busting my chops about drafting that guy too early and paying too much. Anytime I get excited about something DMD kids me by saying something like, "what's up, did someone just say 10g DBA?" 936029[/snapback] And I thought you were an Oracle 10G DBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Itals Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Thought it was a funny name when I used it as a gamer handle when I was 16. I guess its stood the test of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 When my beloved Mrs. Jelly was just a sparkling undergrad from "across the hall", I'd ply her with romance on Saturday mornings while together on a shared "donut run" for the two apartments ... Donutrun became a phrase and from there sprang the Jellies and their legendary powdery wrath ... and I, naturally, became the Jellyman.

TitansFan Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Do I really have to explain? I really thought about going as Zeratul, one of my favorite video game characters (from a game called Starcraft), but I decided against it at the last second.

ebartender Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 My college roommate came up with the name. I was joining a website and I needed a screen name. Since I was a bartender in college he said why not ebartender for electronic bartender. I also worked at a catering hall called Edgemont Caterers.

Bonehand Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 When I was younger I had long skinny fingers, & after an evening of drunken debauchery a suitably hammered buddy of mine dubbed me thusly. Who am I to question the gods of drunken naming? Since then I've gotten over the skinny part... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
