65 years ago, the French Revolution was in full swing, and the age of the dinosaurs had finally come to a close. I was just a wee lad of 49 at the time, working the day shift at a local gator farm outside of Tampa Bay. It's hard to believe I'm already halfway into the grave, am I right? But I digress.
One unforgiving Summer day working on the gator farm, I came across a glimmer of light at the bottom of the shit trenches I was dredging out. I reached in with my tattered work gloves and fished out a brilliant jade ring. I couldn't have been more lucky, for the reason I had been working at that gator farm in the first place was to save money to buy an engagement ring for my beloved. The only problem was that she wouldn't be born for another 12 years. That's what the gypsy told me, at least. So I saved the ring. I let it collect dust as my gator shit trench-dredging boots collected gator shit crust. I waited 30 years for her. 12 for her to be born, and 18 for her to be of marriageable age. Alas! I hadn't thought about the fact that I was 61 years older than her at the time of her coming of age. I would have to wait. I would have to wait long enough for our ages to be irrelevant. So I waited and waited and waited, and soon enough another 50 years passed. She was 68, and I, now a moderately successful 129 year old gator farm mogul. After another 34 years of stubborn wooing on my part, I finally won her heart.
The year was 2061 when we finally got married. But my beloved, her body was weak. She died peacefully at the altar in my arms, wishing only that she had been more light-hearted, and that I had taken more days off from my gator farm monopoly to be with her. She wished she had more things to LOL at, and that I had taken more holidays.
Yevrag is my last name backwards, and the 35 was the number i wore when i played high school baseball.
Also this is pretty much my username for everything, and I MEAN EVERYTHING!!!
I got my name after Ku, the Hawaiian God of War, Prosperity, among other aspects of Hawaiian culture.
I modified it to where Ku would be bonded to Thalas, which was supposed to make it elvish for my Warcraft Blood Elf mage. Thus Kuthalas. However, as I became more and more called Kuth for short, I got associated with the name more and more online.
After several years of WoW, the name just stuck, and it became apparent that I would now use the name for none WoW purposes. However Kuthalas sounded a bit feminine to me outside of Warcraft. I just changed it to Kutharos and that was that.
I'm sure people have made this thread a billion times, but how did you get your internet name?
Is there a cool story behind it or is there a joke of some some sort or something else? Do tell.
If I had a nickel for every time someone asked this...
Anyways, it goes like this :
When I made my first ever email account, I was a really big fan of DOOM (still am)
Now there is a gun named BFG 9000 in that. Take bfg, take 9000 to the next level (10000= 10k) and I was 17 years old.
All this equals : bfg10k17.
There you go.
It's a long story, short version, girlfriend found account and started monitoring it, so I went through elaborate steps to maintain access to the forums without her knowing, the only way was to name a new account and have a mod ban the old one (the perfect alibi, "I got banned so I'm obviously not there") in the meantime I had an rp going in writing and I had to create an alternate in the interim. The username was chosen because I was worried that because I was technically breaking the rules I'd be banned, but Jacob understood, though he hadn't changed my username yet.
