ive always thought the name "argonaut" was cool ever since I saw the movie jason and the argonauts ages ago.

Plus, argonauts are cooler than vampires. I got banned at one point, hence, weakened.

The Iron Born are ruled by a badass queen, who battles, drinks, and ****s as well if not better than any man.

Someone told me it meant fucker in Russian. I dont think this is true. Its also just a straight-forward name. No numbers, underscores, Xs, etc.

It was a school login which was the first letter of your first name and the first four letters of your surname. I also like the way 911 rolls off the tongue.

Many, many years ago (like 20+), I had to pick a username for the account I was creating on lego.com, and my dad suggested just using my initials. It stuck, and has been my go-to ever since.

i honestly thought you picked it by mashing the keyboard, because those keys often come up when mashing

Because of keyboard hand placement? Because I kind of thought that, too...

My original username here was TheDarkCrusader which commonly got abbreviated to TDC (to the point where once TheDarkCrusader account was banned I switched over to my TheTDC alt). The "Jigsaw" part comes from during my hiatus. TheDarkCrusader was never *my* name. It was a nickname partially imposed upon by a friend when I was like 12 or 13 that I just rolled with. So in other online communities I made the name "JigsawPhilosophy" which is a line of an obscure song and sounded faux deep, so I liked it. I did come here briefly by that name, but I forgot the account info and I think it got banned anyway. So, the Jigsaw part is from my newer Internet alias, and the TDC is who I used to be here.

After 1337_FF_GoD got banned I wanted to create a new account. At first I thought of doing I337_FF_GoD, replacing the 1 with an I. Around the time there was a user impersonating chelle cause cheIIe (or something like that) which is where I got the idea. I eventually thought of replacing the t in Judgment with an l.

My first user-name was called "Eclair_de_XII", themed after this character from Kingdom Hearts. Her weapon was called "Eclair", and she was the twelfth to join the recurring group that have served an antagonistic role in the series since 2004. Later on, I closed that account, and named this one after that Final Fantasy video game for the PlayStation 3. It seemed appropriate, since I was coming off a two-year hiatus from the site.

Did he make a joke or an inappropriate comment about that national tragedy what occurred nineteen years and nine days ago?

Faramir was the best character in Return of the King on the GameCube.

That's literally it. I use "Oaks Parcel" as my username everywhere else.

I've used wwinterj in almost every online username. That was however taken so I stuck 25 at the end of it.

Changes in how Chinese is translated into English that occurred after my edition was printed and after my account was created.

Waaaaay back when dinosaurs (or at least computer equivalents) roamed the earth and bulliton boards were a thing, I chose wolfy as my screen name......because.......I liked wolves lol.

I was on a BBS called Phospher in the late 80's early 90's, it was small, so nobody else had a similar name. Eventually muds showed up and again, I used wolfy at first, but eventually I played on muds that were not brand new, and someone had my user name *damn them!!*.

So I added 42 from hitchikers guide to the end, which worked pretty much for years, until eventually even wolfy42 sometimes was taken. In such cases I would replace the o with a u and use wulfy42 instead (which has almost never been taken).

And that is the origin of my name.

I remember when I tried to make a username, I tried LinkPizza, but it was already taken. So, I made another account. As it turns out, I was the one who had taken the username LinkPizza and had forgotten... Haha...

TLDR version. I'm old as dirt. I took wolfy back when you could first start having user names. I added 42 once other people started to use it.

Actually my first cat was named wolfy lolz, and my second was Siren after my wife's screen name:)

Neither were actual wolves though.

Can't help on the beer though, but I bet they do somewhere.

There is no 42oz of beer that I'm aware of.

4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16, 22, 24, 32, 40, 64 ounces are typical personal consumption sizes. Obviously there are kegs also.

I'm still trying to figure out how cobalt thought that post was about beer.
