What's the story of your Glitch's name?

Does your Glitch name have a story behind it or special meaning for you?

Here's mine: Years ago I belonged to an online discussion group of the band The Waterboys. Mike Scott was a member and he would drop in to give us updates on his doings. Occasionally he would tell wonderful stories, like how God created Ireland.

Sometimes he would create adventures. He had a character named Patch Joseph Lannigan, a down-on-his-luck Irish tinker/thief and Mike Scott would relate stories about him. Then other members would assume other characters, like Lannigan's long-suffering yet genteel wife Laura, and add episodes of their own. These adventures could continue for weeks. It was absolutely magic!

One story involved Mike Scott assuming the identity of a little sprite or fairy who had inadvertently been kidnapped by Patch and was only trying to get back home to her "flowerry pot". I liked it.

So that's me! What about you?

  • Professor Billingsworth was always a kind teacher. Letting his students slip on their homework turn ins and what not. Letting kids go to the Head when they pleased, even if they were just going to skip. Hell, he even personally funded the school of Diddley Derp's High School basketball team one year!

    Then, on that fateful day, something happened. It was either Tuesday or Friday, I can't bloody remember. While watching a rerun of Power Puff girls, and eating some FRUITY LOOPS, he began to choke on said loops of fruit. The students who loved were no where to be found. For you see, they were all just greedy jerks anyway. D:

    He died sadly, but that wouldn't be enough. He wanted revenge on the whole town of Herply Hodar. He helped them so much, and yet they did nothing in return. During his autopsy, something  went wrong in the embalming process. A little lightning, a little no-no powder, and boom, Professor Billingsworth was back. Naked, but back.

    Set forth on his journey, but his first mission was to find some eyes(Organ donor :L), and so he did. A pair of buttons were to suffice, and sadly, he couldn't speak either. Since it was meant to be an open casket, his mouth was sewn shut! So now, all he could do was mumble incoherently and yell at people.

    Escaping the morgue, he first rigged up a coat to conceal himself in. This coat came in the form of a mass of crying baby dolls, lo' how annoying they were.(Baby doll whisperer coat. :D!)

    To Mexico he went, to lay low for a while, and to fufill his dream! Mariachi was his true calling! Not teaching, nooo. He wanted to please people with music, and so he did. They called him El Gringo Bebe. His music swept all of Mexicon, until that fateful day! A tourist from Herply Hodar had spotted him, and called the local Interpol branch. Dozens of agents swooped in, and he had to leave.

    Grabbing whatever clothes he could find, (most female) he stole some hair from a donkey, and assumed his new life as Giggles Froth the 3rd. finally, he was at peace, for now. Since he still had to get his revenge on those darned kids.

    Pretty much his story.

  • Took like five seconds thinking of a username I've never used anywhere else, because I didn't feel like using any of my old standby aliases. Double Hey plus my name.

  • Crispa is a Catholic saint. She was burned at the stake for not converting to some pagen religion. The irony is just one I couldn't pass up

  • Mine is just the most common used nickname out of many nicknames given to me. My name's Genevieve, but I've been called Vieve, Genjibean, Genebean, Beebs, Beebu, Jelly, Yenobee, Yenobean. . . . it continues. . .
