Your online name

[Infinit01]

I think my forum name is pretty self explanatory but here is why I picked it:

“Courtesy of Wookieepedia”

Krayt dragon pearls were lustrous, colored stones found in the last chamber of the gizzard of krayt dragons. The stones were used to help crush food eaten by them, and over time, they became rounded because of how much they moved around. They could be found in colors such as blue, green, red, white and black. Due to a refractive quality peculiar to the pearl, they could be used in a lightsaber if properly cleaned, prepared and installed, though it was a difficult task. The pearls were seen as exceptionally valuable by the public (easily worth upwards of a hundred thousand credits each), as well as proof a person had killed a krayt dragon (to Tusken Raiders, a sign of bravery).

Point for the insightful history of Krayt dragon pearls and your namesake

I was thinking of the state with your name, haha. Point for creativity and orginality

In the early to mid 90s I was into country clubs, and rodeos. Growing up in Houston we have one of the biggest rodeos. Anyway in 94 a movie came out about the true spy of a bull rider. Not the main bull rider but another one was named Tuff Hedman. He was my favorite in the movie. Don't remember when I first started using it but at some point I needed a name for an engaging or forum of some kind and I just put TX in front of Tuff because I'm a Texican. So tx_tuff became my internet name. Pretty lame story but live the name LOL.

There's nothing lame about that, Tx. I like how you took a character name you love and how you're proud of your heritage and we're you're from. You took everything and combined it to use as your web handle which is great since there's multiple meanings within your name. I like it! Annnnnnnnnnnd there's Texas in it!

Keep 'em coming, folks! I wanta hear how Cyclops got his, btw!

I’m a little late to the game here, but since you specifically asked...

I have been wearing glasses longer than most all but the very oldest few of the forum members have been out of diapers, so I got called “four-eyes” a lot (and I do mean a LOT) as a kid.  As a wee tyke, I got introduced to the original X-Men comics owned by my oldest brother, and I was fascinated by Cyclops, and, to a lesser degree, by Colossus.  My dad was on the road a lot for work, and we lived out in the country, on a dirt road, back in the days when gasoline was still less than $0.40 per gallon, you had to pay extra just to NOT be on a party line, and (more to the point) CB radio was beginning its upward swing in popularity.  Dad got a CB radio for each of our vehicles to keep us all apprised of where Smokey or a County Mountie was “taking pictures” on our “front door” so we had better “back it down” so that we could avoid “feeding the bears.”  I could go on, but you get the picture (or you don’t, and you probably don’t care).  Well, I just HAD to have my own CB handle, and what better one than Cyclops?  It referenced a cool comic book character who shot beams of force out of his eyes and was the leader of the group (which really appealed to me, since I was the YOUNGEST brother), plus it was a subtle “in your face” to all those jerks who looked at me and saw nothing more than my (very thick) glasses.

Fast-forward to the early 21st century, when a certain email provider began its beta program, and I needed an email alias.  Well, I was already using a variation of my actual name with both my ISP and another independent email service provider, as well as various work-related computer accounts, and I thought it was time to branch out a little bit in the labeling process, so I tried using Cyclops, only to find out that, alas, I had not been the first person to attempt to register with that moniker.  That led me to think of some number to append to the word, and because of some motivational tapes (yes, cassette tapes) I had been playing, I had the numbers nine-four-two in my head, so I figured that SURELY that number would not already be taken, and I was right.

Now that you’ve read this, are you sorry you asked?

[Cyclops942]

Actually, my favorite has always been Rory!   :-)

I’ll give you that, because Rory always treated Miss Amelia-Bedelia far better than she treated him, but... really, now... you can NOT tell me that he would have looked better in that meter maid outfit she wore when we first met her.  (Okay, it’s technically possible, but I won’t believe you.)

[HesaHeart]

its been my online name for a very long time, some one called me a care bear and it was said i had a heart it ended up HesaHeart

[Malreyn]

I’ve been using it for quite a bit of time, now. Ever since... Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets.

[DrVibble]

I came up with the word "Vibble" as a nonsense word when I was quite young, and not long after that I made the fictional character of "Doctor Vibble", who created the bizarre, chaotic life forms known as Vibbles. To this day I have no idea what a Vibble is (though I have since found out it's also the name of a town in Sweden or some such), but even years later, the name stuck, and now I use DrVibble on pretty much all online platforms.

I've since incorporated "Doctor Vibble" as a character into a book I'm working on, so he lives on at last!
