    Anyone care to share their screen-name origin??

    Maybe I'm just a curious person, but I'm always dying to know. Like what the f--k is a pavyracer? What's a diogee? Where does ZBOIZ come from? Etc. Some, of course, are obvious: Accuscoresucks, TSoprano, etc.

    A capybara is a semi-aquatic mammal found in South America... it's actually the world's largest living rodent. Goes up to 140 lbs and looks like someone stuck a guinea pig in a giganticizing machine. Totally freaky. Something about the name just stuck in my head, and no one else is ever using it!

    My wife called me one after reading the definition in the urban dictionary.

    capitalist pig:

    A derogatory term used by either commie bastards who don't like to see rich capitalists next to other poor, starving bastards, or dirty anarchists who despise both, the authority of the state and that of the capitalists.
    A capitalist pig is probably worse than a commie bastard, and is much worse than a dirty anarchist (who is in fact less dirty than the capitalist pig or commie bastard)

    I've used the moniker RogueScholar for upwards of a decade now. I chose it in the classical sense of a person who makes written material normally reserved for academics available and understandable to the general public. Ted Coopman, in his Rogue Scholar's Manifesto defines the Rogue Scholar as a "learned or etrude person no longer obedient to the status quo; playful, mischievous." It's an ideal to which I have dedicated myself, and by no means a random selection.

    I got my nickname Casper because I was the whitest guy on the basketball court when I played ball. Stuck with me throughout my formative years. Waits is because my favorite singer is Tom Waits...ergo Casperwaits

    Before going on the air for my 2nd on-air sports-talk radio show at USC (one I wasn't hosting), I was checking scores and talking with the guy who was hosting about who was covering and who wasn't. He was impressed that I remembered all the point spreads off the top of my head, and I already had a reputation as being a gambler in the group (we played poker regularly, bet on games, etc).

    So we get on the air, and I have a long Italian last name that people have difficulty pronouncing, and after he botches it for the 2nd time, he says "You know what, thats too much of a mouthful, I'm just going to call you Vegas Dave from now on", and it stuck. Became my radio and TV nickname, and all the guys I worked with in sports radio still call me Vegas to this day, they just dropped the Dave after a while.

    I'm a boss and i'm not to be fukked with.

    Local bookies smile when they hand me cash.

    My name is also Tony, and a big fan of the Sopranos (know a lot of the actors in real life). Plus Tony Soprano lives by his own rules, sort of like us day in and day out when we choose to do what we do around here.

    Solid thread by the way.

    My kids had my wife go in to the store and ask for a Pimpin printer about 10 years ago.

    Every salesman she asked started laughing at her.

    That's funny, but no posting in this thread unless you explain your screen name origin!

    Was trying to signup for an email account for the first time on the internet in about 1995. After being disappointed I could not get my first name, or anything else I could think of at the time, I started copy/pasting random words on the webpage into the username box.

    One of the boxes on the signup form had the word Optional next to it.
