Mine is pretty boring, just my surname and first name switched around. As a bonus, if someone writes my name with the alias in the middle i.e. Al "KingAl" King, my name appears twice, which amuses me. shiny, I assumed yours had something to do with your initials...

No, that's a happy coincidence, but it's one that I like. Smiley

back in the day when I played UT, I'd play with a good friend of mine.  Whenever I felt like a cheap bastard and stole his kill, he'd reply, "you stole my meat".  Well one day, we played with a bunch of idiots, which we referred to as "idiotmeat".

I only knew about the cognac part when I picked the name.

Sure you did :D

A while back I signed up for another forum with the name Deadeye Dick, after the Kurt Vonnegut book.  All the other Vonnegutian (Vonnegutish?) names were already taken, like Ice Nine or Billy Pilgrim or what have you.

I decided to stick with the name on other forums, but eventually just got tired of typing the whole thing out, plus a lot of people don't get the reference (hurr dicks and penorz lol) or they think I like the band Deadeye Dick or something (which I don't) so I just shortened it to deadeye.

Nice, I can't believe I never noticed that but to be fair Deadeye Dick is one of the few Vonnegut books I haven't read.
