Essentially, I want us to sound like cavemen.

I'll start:

HomesliceAbe was playing Mario kart and HomesliceAbe's dad couldn't think of name of one of courses (HomesliceAbe thinks name was "Moonview Highway?). HomesliceAbe's dad called course "Homeslice Highway" and HomesliceAbe thought new name was hilarious. Also, HomesliceAbe is big fan of Abraham Lincoln.

Owen had serialized dream many years ago in childhood times. New dream chapters kept releasing for many nights. Dream parts were spooky. Owen was scared there, but felt like pain and fear was deserved.

However, when Owen was being pulled back to very scary place from earlier season, Owen chose instead to fight. Creature tried to pull Owen down, but Owen planted feet and pulled against creature. Creature fell into last season's spooky place.

Panting, Owen spoke, "I've been down there."

Weird dream stopped returning. "I've been down there" turned out being series finale.

Years passed. Owen decided to make anagram of "I've been down there."

Owen failed: "Owen Ever Bind Thee" was closest Owen could come to good anagram. Owen got bored of scrambling letters. Chose Owen Everbinde and abandoned attempt at making anagram. Owen's leftover 'T' and 'H' and 'E' will never have home.

Take a wild ass guess.

[โ€“] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This is the name I've always gone by, for everything. Except for back in the day during club penguin, but nvm that.

My idea behind the name is I come second. First the bomb, then it explodes and you get the Boom, loud and proud, fits me perfectly.

So I'm not Da_bomb, I'm Da_Boom

Death makes us equal as corpses. Be more equal to others in life.

unsigned int is a data type reference. I nicked it from an username on Reddit.

I seemingly have a complete disregard for anonymity.

Mines a hand soap. I'm 43 but heard the name as a kid in my dad's car garage. It's a soap for removing grease and oil from mechanics hands. I always liked the name. It's not like any other English word or name.

"ShinigamiOokamiRyuu" which is the URL name is a reference to a few anime. "Lenny" and "Leni", which are in the screen name, are nicknames which are short for the actual first name. The nicknames have been established nicknames since childhood.

Based off archaic spelling of the river Acheron which seemed cool. Added ร† half for hipstery, half to ensure uniqueness, and half because funny that natural shortening to "ash" also name of first letter. Some places don't allow ร† though like Lemmy, so have to make due with AE.

I had coworkers that were big into Epic Meal Time on YouTube and started calling me sauce boss. I also smoke tasty meats with my pellet smoker.
