What is the origin of your user name? Share with us!

I'm not sure if this has been done already but I'm curious. Where did everyone's user names come from? How did you come up with them? I got mine from Jennifer Gambatese's new 'Who's Who' for 'Hairspray' because Penny is my favorite and Jenn is my favorite Penny. As some of you may have noticed, I accidently spelled sidekick as two words. That was an oops moment. Does anyone else have a mistake in their name? -Penny
"I'm a pretty girl, mama." -Penny Lou Pingleton, Hairspray
"You like football, Ed?" "Yeah..." "Good. Me too." -Chad & 'Ed', All Shook Up

re: Creative User Names

Matt_g asked me this question not too long ago, my answer comes from the PM I sent back to him:

Well, the Act 1 Finale of 'Sweeney Todd' ends with an outstanding song called 'A Little Priest.' Sweeney has just murdered his first victim and Mrs. Lovett trys to tell him her idea, without actually telling him. (Her idea is to use the meat from the body to cook in her pies, because she runs a pie shop and 'business needs a lift, debts to be erased, think of it as thrift, as a gift, if you get my drift') So, Sweeney understands and they sing a song about the pies and the different occupations and how they would taste. The song is full of great double meanings
Anyway the songs begins like this:

Todd (spoken): What is that?
Lovvett (sung): It's priest, have a little priest
Todd: Is it really good?...
Lovett: Sir, its too good at least...Then again they don't commit sins of the flesh...so its pretty fresh
Todd: Awful lot of fat...
Lovett: Only where he sat...
Todd: Haven't you got poet, or something like that?
Lovett: No, you see the trouble with poet is, how do you know it's deceased? Try the Priest

Later on in the song there is this lyric:
Lovett: Beadle isn't bad 'till you smell it, but notice how well it's been greased....Stick To Priest

And my name comes from that lyric....anyway, that was too long...sorry

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien

re: Creative User Names

Mine is actually from the song By the Sword/Sons of Dixie from The Civil War, simply because By the Sword was the part of the song used to represent the North.

The 84 is just because its the year I was born.

Not exactly creative, I know, but then again I have been lobbied to change my name to By the S-Word. re: Creative User Names
