Default What do your usernames mean?

Some people on this forum have usernames that are pretty much self explanatory, but some people have ones that aren't so obvious.

As the title suggests, what do your usernames mean, and why did you choose them?

Young 'Un is the name my Grandpa used to call me when I was a kid. He has a 71 Fairlane 500 which he has owned since new, and when I was younger, he used to work on it and I would 'help'. The name Young 'Un just reminds me of helping Grandpa with his Fairlane, which is what started my interest in Fords.

P.S: The Fairlane is still sitting in the shed, in perfect condition. Hasn't been used for a few years and it's a bit dusty... but still as good as the day it rolled out the factory.

P.P.S: No. It's not for sale...

I drive a XR6 Wagon and my number plate is WGN XR-6.
It's funny when you still have to explain to some people what the WGN stands for.

Mine is a nick of mystery and intrigue! Those who were on FF Raid #1 may have misty memories of certain events leading to this name, while others will only have heard the rumours and folk stories... !

What an awesome song that is aswell. Fear factory are one of my favourite bands.

As for me, i have no idea, the magical part because my car is magic, as it will never be seen the same as original. And ED because its an ED.
Btw when i was signing up, i had a 5 year old giving me usernames, so i took the third one "magical Ed"....Kinda lame but hey, at least i got access to this site. :

I couldn't agree more, Fear Factory have made some awesome music, linchpin is just one of many, but definately one of their better ones.

My username, well I dunno, I've explained it before, but it's just my online name now, although since I started using it years ago, other people have also started using it too I've noticed. I am the original and best maddestman! :hihi:

My avatar, is how I'd like my XF to look, asides from the rims.
