Your MGoName

Submitted by GoBlueScott on

I can't remember this being posted, if it's ever been done, so if it somehow slipped my attention I'll apologize now. Even so, we have quite a few new peeps around here, and I am constantly wondering why you chose your MGoName.

Some, of course, are obvious.

Some are not. Like, "Brian." Always confused me.

Why did you choose yours?

I'm really hoping Misopogon answers.

Since kids called people by their last name. Since people couldn't pronounce mine everyone shortened it to "bouje".

Well, it's funny that you think my name is "Magnum" sometimes, because that describes something I usually keep privately hidden, if you know what I'm saying.

(I'm a huge Tom Selleck fan.)

(That's what I'm saying.)

white pony is the name of the deftones third album which was released in 2000. It is my favorite album ever which has my favorite song ever on it (passenger). and rocks because kicks_ass would be too much to type.

well, "GOBLUE" was taken at the vehicle licensing department so the next logical step was to replace "GO" with 60, hence 60Blue. No, I did not graduate in 1960.

I will never tell. Muahahahahahahaaha. Actually I just thought I was a huge nerd for logging on countless hours to a blog that a friend recommended to me. And the opposite of being a nerd is to be cool. But if you're really cool, you're turbo cool (seems like an expression some WOW guy would use). And here we are.

Re: my avatar. I thought of the WOW guy from south park and to me it was hilarious (and slightly depressing) that I was becoming like him spending so much time with my comp. Plus, it's like looking at your monitor and seeing some huge dork looking back at you.

It's the name I used in Goldeneye (Perfect Dark maybe?) back in the day and for whatever stupid reason, is has just kind of stuck around. I thought it was funny when I was 13.

From a now-defunct catalog that sold old USSR (and USSR-themed) stuff. I don't know for sure, but I think the helmet is from the Czech Republic, and I think it's from the 1960s. Or something like that. (The M paint is my own work.) I do know two things: it's heavy and it's not particularly comfortable (army helmets have come a long way since then). But I wouldn't trade it for anything.

This is the inside of the helmet:
