Thereās some pretty interesting back stories here. Thanks for sharing them. Iāll be back with a batch of likes as soon as I get more.
For me - my Moniker comes from the RUSH song by the same title and Iāve been using it for years.
Here are the lyrics which may help to explain the choice a little:
bu2b - rush
I was brought up to believe
The universe has a plan
We are only human
Itās not ours to understand
The universe has a plan
All is for the best
Some will be rewarded
And the devil will take the rest
All is for the best
Believe in what weāre told
Blind men in the market
Buying what weāre sold
Believe in what weāre told
Until our final breath
While our loving Watchmaker
Loves us all to death
In a world of cut and thrust
I was always taught to trust
In a world where all must fail
Heavenās justice will prevail
The joy and pain that we receive
Each comes with its own cost
The price of what weāre winning
Is the same as what weāve lost
ā¦
Until our final breath
The joy and pain that we receive
Must be what we deserve
I was brought up to believe
ā¦

Esrgood4u thats a crazy story, I went through the 90s enjoying them aswell, mostly doves,mitsis,disco biscuits, snowballs and squares. Luckily in my home town we had one of the top 10 underground clubs in Britain so i got to see and listen to all sorts of different djs from all over the world, met my goodlady there 27 years ago, It was under an indian restaurant and we could openly smoke, no bouncers, my love of red stripe started there aswell. I wouldnt thank you for one now as god knows whats in them, i hear younguns saying they take 3 and 4 now, if we did that back then we would have ended up like you did, luckily you pulled through and im sure you had some great nights with them after that, i know i did lol. Peace.

I believe 96 or 97 was the time that those crazy high dose caps turned up in the UK? From supposedly Netherlands but most likely Albania or even Belgium. Before that we only really had garden shed made type of crap and the occasional Walter White type chemist knocking out small batches.
I read a book about E recently and the crazy stories that went into and came out of that āgoldrushā are phenomenal
Your a lucky dudeā¦

at that time i was often to this kind of music festivals and i liked m.o.s alot! so ām0sirysā was born

thatās what google translate said it was.
i got mine in 2000. i had been in my special forces unit in the national guard for two years and was on the training team getting ready for sfas. i was living in the armory, and had a cot in my office i slept. it was when the internet was just taking off and i needed a username for a chat or something. i tried zombie since thatās my nickname from basic training but that was taken, so i put the sf in front for special forces, that was also taken, but my lucky 13 on the end made it my screen name forever. if you see an sfzombie13 it is most likely me. a few years ago i bought a domain with sfzombie13 and now have a āmyspace pageā on the internet that folks can stumble across if they know where to look.

Cybersmib. I came up with it back in the early days of personal computers. Itās a twist on āHigh tech Redneckā. Cyber is obvious. SMIB is a local unwoke joke stands for Southern Maryland InBred

I read Pippi Longstocking to my children. One morning Pippi invented a new word - Spunk! Itās a pity that such a good word didnāt make sense and Pippi starts looking for Spunkā¦
Only later did I become aware of the meaning of that word in the English language. I like the word, but itās a pretty stupid meaning for a nickname.
I think I will try to change it

The dates seem to line up donāt they???
I was a seasoned user when this happened to me. My usual weekend intake was 6 to 8 mitsubishi or redbulls over a weekend so I really wasnāt expecting it to kick my ass like it did.
You couldnāt have chosen a factory that doesnāt do important cheese related work?

Iāve been online since the days of dial up modems and bulletin boards, and Iāve generally used the same moniker since the early 90ās. However, that screen name was a little bit too self identifying for forums such as these (props to @DougDawson ).
So, needed a new name one day, and this was the next song that hit my ears, and I decided why not?
It would probably be a better story if I told you it was a nickname given to me by my first girlfriend

Straightforward hermeneutical categorization, intended to be forthright and welcoming.
Grouchy (when provoked)
Old (enough to be most of yāallās Dad)
Man (biologically, psychologically and philosophically)
It has come to my attention that my Nick may be misinterpreted by those lacking adequate powers of irony.
