My name goes back to when I started playing Magic: the Gathering online. I've always been a fan of reptiles, and Magic happens to have a race of desert-dwelling lizardmen called Viashino, so I came up with Viashino_Water_Mage (no spaces allowed in names), the joke being that not only do Viashino live in the desert, but none of them are mages. So a series of forgotten passwords, verification errors and new accounts later, I ran out of variations of that and ended up with Viashino_wizard. I've used for pretty much every account on anything since, because it's never taken, I like how it sounds, and I love those moments when someone on a new message board says "Hey! Do you play magic? Me too!"
AHAH! I knew I recognized Viashino. I used to play magic when I was younger (still have a couple thousand cards lying around here somewhere, including multiple decks). Thanks for clearing that up. Was driving me crazy since I saw your name.
I don't. It's a palindrome?
But I also think mine is pretty obvious:
How do you NOT have sex with him?!
that's 34th US President Dwight Danger Eisenhower for the less worldly around here
I was on an IRC and some guy asked what he should name his cat, so I suggested Captain Snacks, and I kind of took a liking to the name. So now I am Captain Snacks.
red is my favorite color, and red=crimson. purple haze is a song by jimi hendrix, so i just changed it to crimsonhaze. the 14 is because its my favorite number, as it was Thierry Henry's number when he played for Arsenal.
This wasn't very obvious (at least, I don't think so), but it makes sense none-the-less.
prodigal was a name I came up with two years ago and I've always liked it. The direct definition of the term prodigal is 'lavish' (bluntly), and it is the sum of my thoughts in regard to what the contemporary 'pursuit of happiness' has become (even for me, to an extent). And to be honest, how many of us have always wanted to be able to spend 10 000 dollars in one day and feel no worry? I have.
My Real name would cause too much terrabytes on the computer, sine my real name can only be expressed as a dance and laser light show, if I tried to shortern it, I would die of exhillriation.
So I just put in Sy, simple yes, then I put in the numbers 1,2,3. However these numbers are one of the most important numbers, becasue there wouldnt be any other numbers, if it wasnt for the number 1. So to celebrate this phenomenom, I put in the series of numbers, which most people learn first

Lol, that sounds like it could actually be kind of handy.
After playing Arkham Horror, I was introduced to the Cthulhu mythos. The concept of driving people insane with a play appealed to me. I liked the Nyarlathotep/Azathoth dymanic as well, but King in Yellow had a bit more flow to it than Blind Idiot God. In retrospect, I suppose Blind Piper could have worked.
mine is based on my full name, i just rearranged some of the letters (my real name is NOT mark)
When I was younger(3 or 4), I thought everything bad happened to me and everyone thought I was a loser. 909 is an easy sequence of numbers on the keyboard, and one of my favorites.
