My name goes back to the napster days. I dont have a huge collection of MP3's.. but I have a very diverse collection and fairly eclectic tastes in music. Lots of friends would string off lyrics or hum a few bars and I would often know the song & artist. I also sing (but dont dance for any amount of cash) and occasionally do Karaoke. Someone called me Tunes in a chat room on a napster server and it stuck. Problem was.. where ever I went.. the nickname "Tunes" was usually already taken. So I stuck the 67 on the end cause its my birth year and the year of my dream car.

Now ya know ;)

by Mnemonic
Well back in 98 I started to spin records as Mnemonic, unfortunately no one could ever say the name, and half the time they would misspell it, so I later changed it to Johnny NumoniK after the movie, which then later i dropped the name Johnny and just went by NumoniK, well now i go by both Mnemonic and NumoniK depending on the situation, currently i no longer dj but i use the name as my "artist name" as i don't want people to know who the actual artist is behind the art. Though by me saying that you know who i am lol

I use OldMan as that is what my daughter calls me whenever I talk to her. When she calls on the phone, I have an answering machine and she knows I don't answer unless I know who it is, she always say's something like Hey Oldman you there? I have gotten used to it, although I get revenge once in a while. She is 27 now, so I just reverse her age and tell her she is older than I am. :twisted:

This is great!
I wondered about some of the names. I hope everyone adds theirs! Mine's boring. It's the first 4 letters of my last name, and my 1st name. I do like birds, though. I signed up about 4 years ago with my usual "superhuman", but lost it somehow.

Because K's are Super.....

It's the first letter of my name. That's all I have. All of a sudden I feel very uncreative :(

I like the idea of this thread!

My name came about, because when I bought my mx3 and my friends saw it, they were all like " thats hotshit". :laugh: So I changed it to be 2 i's as to not get into trouble on the board :wink:
Eventually the name of my car then became hotness...hence the comments of " It's HOTNESS, you wouldn't understand!".
:D

I don't know... but to confuse new people I will tell them that I harvest mooneggs for a living and that REALLY throws them... :D

I have had this screen name on various sites, etc for over 12 years... it just came to me one day. I call my mx-3's mooneggs sometimes...
