Im bored so you get a story :P

Once apon a time when I was 11 my parents came home with a computer... wow I was excited! Soon after I was online and signing up to anything and everything but they wanted a username? Well there was dune buggy racing on the TV so doombuggy it was!

Well after a couple months when I actually wanted to sign up to something I found that doombuggy was already taken (prob by myself) so that changed to Doombuggie.

Over year later I had been playing online games for awhile and was getting annoyed with my name... it got shortened to Doomie and then couple years later shortened again to Dooms... and here we are!

Probably will do, seeing as I only ever have Arnie/Huey as my av most of the time anyway. One of my old school friends had a picture taken with Arnie recently as he is out in America and has been working on his campaign trail, he got some kudos for that picture I can tell you.

Forgot to mention my name, which is totally self-invented and awesome.

Rivkid

I need a new avatar - mines crap!

My online name always used to be theriveirakid (ref: Red Dward episode Gunmen of the Apocolypse) but had to spell it wrong as it was always taken. this later became Rivkid.

Career, Wife, Mortgage... my sig was better when it listed guitars and PC's and stuff!

redneck

started off as Inbred redneck back in the days of lan cafeing and then got shortened to red.


my avatar is zap brannagan.

Serious

My nick came from being too Serious when I was younger, its to remind me tobe a bit more laid back.

The avatar, well I started with a cat and they just seem to keep coming back. I have put up pics of women as an alternative but there seems to be a strong conservative streak in a lot of the people here.

redneck

underage women detest us serious.


however more robust ones of a good clean nature are acceptable.
