After seeing the "how long have you had your screen name" thread, it made me think back on some of the truly horrible SN's I picked for AOL/ AIM back when I was in high school.
The very first one? Pimp72281. BIG mistake, especially being 15 years old at the time.
How about the rest of you? Any truly embarrassing screen names back in the day?

In my youth we had no 'screen names'. But my nickname was "hey you there!"
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

As a teen, I had "bewbieworshipper". (SIC)
And during an extended role-playing game obsession I had "Noble Elf" and "Lord Elvenhold". I think those two are more cringe-worthy than "bewbieworshipper".
I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

I had a girlfriend back in my AOL days and her initials were B.J. I turned my AOL screen name to KrAzY4BJ. After that, I changed it to ArgonV. Argon was a handle I used in a Commanche game or something like that from what I remember. That was already in use so I tried Argon1-5. They were all taken. So then I decided to go backwards in Roman numerals. ArgonV wasn't taken and it has stuck ever since.

The very first one? Pimp72281. BIG mistake, especially being 15 years old at the time.
You mean it's sort of awesome. It's a bad screen name because of the number 72281, that implies you are only like another pimp out of several thousand, sounds generic. You have to come up with a handle that says you are the daddy of all the pimps.
No one gets out of here alive.

Oof, I settled wiyh Muesli and some derivatives. However, just to annoy people I briefly used my Arab name "Haid Da-Salaamee".... I wasn't welcome in some places...
