Couldn't think of a username, so picked the last name of the artist I was listening to. Not really a fan any more... :/
 
Fan Of Mac Rumors
Very original, I know

:eek: This changes everything... :p

"MR"
 
I just love the sound of the word and what it means (when using it to measure the quality of something/someone). The number is just the day I was born, which I happen to like as well. Lame, I know. :eek:
 
My nick

There was an old early Sixties song Duke of Earl. Clever me... but by 1998 I was much too late. And I wasn't big on being DukeofUrl783214. However being a musician and a reader, there is a lower class UK pronunciation of duke which sounds like "jook." So take one old song, one net term, one colloquialism & Voila!

BTW a few years later, some guy in Australia shows up with a car modding website calling himself The Juke of Url. Being expedient & functional, I decided whenever my friends etc. saw that nick anywhere unsavory ---Hey! it's that guy from Oz! why would I want to look at Milfs Gone Wild. . ..;)
 
It's a phonetic spelling of my first name, I tend to prefer to go by my actual name though there are advantages to not turning up on a search.
 
My name comes from 2001 when I was trying to decide whether to switch to the Mac platform or not. I had it as a user name on a different forum where I was looking for information on pros and cons of the switch. Which would not have been as big a deal except my workplace is all PC. When I joined Macrumors I reused the name.
 
I always thought the whole University of Florida taser incident when Sen Kerry was speaking was hilarious thus ... "Don't taze me bro!"

Funny how some people think my name is actually Donta ... Well yea Mr. Zemebro .... Donta Zemebro :D

My real name is Jayson or Jay for short ;)

My parents have an angry, barky little Welsh Terrier named....wait for it...Crickett. Very often they'll yell out the window: "[My Name] SHUT UP!!! Get in the house NOW!!!" Or: "Oooooh that [My Name], I'm going to wring her neck!" Very awkward if both Crickett & I are out in the yard together. Like yesterday morning for instance.

They call me Crickett all the time, "Crickett, please hand me the blah blah blah, etc."
