How did I come up with my username?
A couple of reasons...
I am a big fan of some Resident Evil video games, and the early ones took place in Raccoon City.
When RE4 came out, I longed for the days when the games took place in the United States.
Spoiler Alert: Raccoon City gets practically destroyed by the U.S. Government in the 1990's because it gets overrun by evil.
And I had a near-death experience in the 90's.
So it all sort of fits to call myself what I do.

I don't know why, but it looks like I never posted in this thread:

Years ago I needed a unique user name and I looked up and saw my toolbox, brand name Homak. So I combined my initials, DC with Homak, and voila! dchomak.

Interesting. I knew I had seen this kind of thread before, but a simple search didn't bring it up... oops.
So, let's call this the blf username thread #2

That's all right.
The other thread has been dead for over five years, so a new one won't hurt anything.

No problem with a second thread!
Consider the word research. Usually research is thought of as quest to uncover new information, but the word re-search would suggest a second search for old information that has already been discovered before

I’ve probably been using skinny_tie as a username for 20 years.
Skinny Tie is a character from the song Skinny Tie Sensurround by the Scottish indie pop group Bis.
I certainly don’t want to be like the character, but I like the song and it popped into my head when I was trying to think of a username.

Back in school around 1997, i used to drink this yoghurt drink everyday during lunch.
So one time my classmate called me yokiamy, which comes from yoki combined with my (degenerated) family name.
I’ve been using this nickname ever since.
Don’t drink it anymore though :person_facepalming:

I always wondered if you named yourself after the Honda! :laughing:
My friend owned several CRXs. They were fun to drive and surprisingly excellent in the snow.
We welded the doors shut on one and chopped the roof off. That one turned a lot of heads. :partying_face:

My name is Jos and 6 years ago I thought that ‘djozz’ sounded kind of cool. In the meantime I think that ‘Jos’ would have been perfectly ok.
