Lots of interesting monikers here...SO, what's the story?

To kick off...my full STBC handle is DISCO SUCKS...SUBVERT NORMALITY! And yep, it's a film reference. I'll give you a chance to dig it out of your vast subconscious (cuz I know it's bugging you!) and will explain after the gap

"Out of the Blue" (1980, Dennis Hopper). Masterpiece, incredible movie. RIP Mr Hopper.

...I choose Purple Mule.

You can find a photo of me here:

My real (pre-re-animated) name was Rufus.

That's an AMAZING blog!

I know! Just stumbled across it whilst looking for that pic. Brilliant.

Spot on! You get to hear most of Linda Manz's awesome CB radio rants on that

I picked up the name ghost fires a while back from reading stories about the history of West Texas. People use to claim to see fires off in the distance late at night, especially on tops of plateaus - and obviously nick-named them ghost fires. Just sounded pretty cool for Texas folklore, and at the time I was recording music inspired by the drives I had through West Texas, so it stuck with me.

@Ghostfires

Check out 'The Mound' by H.P. Lovecraft. Fun Texas Ghostfires stuff.

On a completely different note...

My initials are JMC and I'm a software developer, so when I leave a note to myself in the code for something 'to do' later, I leave 'jmctodo' in a comment so I can find them later. Being one of the primary developers means there are a lot of them littering the code.

The story behind my nickname it's a bit more freaky... in the 90's I had this habit of wearing pants and jackets in corduroy (70's style!). The nick is still alive and many of my friends still ignore my real name!

I will! Massive HPL fan.....and nice explanation!

Nothing freaky here...

The name comes from the days…back in the mid 90′s…when I worked with the band THE IN-SECT from Athens OH...booked / promoted / designed flyers for the garage rock shows I put together…and was a record buyer all for a few years out of Columbus OH where I went by the moniker Hip Nick Creature - Below is the complete self portrait

Karswell: The man who first scared me to death.
No not a dodgy relative but The Satanist doctor from Night Of The Demon.
This was the 1st horror film I managed to dodge the rents in order to watch.
It was back in the 60's, I was 8-9, I never slept for weeks afterwards.
It's still one of my faves

Cool Did you attend the recent British Museum screening??

No would have loved to have gone as have never seen it on the big screen. Were you there??
All my money seems to go on vinyl these days

We have a local beer brewery here called Yazoo, and I just love to drink their stuff. If anyone here finds themselves in Nashville, and would like to get some pints and tour the many local record shops here, give me a ring!

Not a very interesting story I'm afraid but my moniker comes from from my old cat Oiche many years ago which I've used as a forum name since. It means 'night' in Irish, as she was all black. Her sister still lives happily and is called Luain (old Irish for moon- due to the white bits on her). And yes, you have to suffer a photo.

Reminds me of my old cat Monk!

ooh, Monk's not happy with that, look at that tail going! I think Monk and Oiche are riding shotgun with Rufus in the underworld. rip!

Bitewerks is the name I use for collage art &, occasionally, a harsh noise/power electronics label:

Mine has to be up there with utter lameness, its just my name!

My Mother remarried a few years ago to a guy named Tony so any time i'd be there and someone would say Tony we'd both get up, from that point on I just became tonyandrewgiles.

And seeing all this kitty love is awesome!

Here is my little hellion Magwitch.

My cat's tail used to do that - he'd tolerate all manner of nonsense from the nieces, but the swishing was a clear indication that "I'm making a note of all this, you know. And one day, you will regret this".

Of course, that was with kids. With us grown-ups, it was simply "I'm about to get very, very violent".

“I’m about to get very, very violent”.

hahaha, never a truer word has been said.

Way back in the day of aol's first beginnings... I wanted a log on name. I asked my friend to think one up and this is what she came up with. I used to take martial arts so she chose ninja! As far as cutie, that is debatable. The "c" was taken, so she used q.
