The Origins of your Mygnr name

It was a good few years before I ditched my Angus Young signature/av combo here. :headbang:

Great choice of name, great video. To think they played at my school one night & I missed out on going t2309.gif

Hahaha!!! I have a good friend who grew up in Frankston and they used to play every Friday night in the local pubs. He saw them many times in those early days. :)

Its a reference to a previous screename i had here dirtylenny which i got from an old Lenny Bruce routine where he was getting done for his work being 'obscene' and effectively pornography, the framework of which prompted him refer to himself as 'Dirty Lenny the Pornographer'. And since people had taken to calling me Len or Lenny i thought what else can i think of with Len or Lenny in the name as the first thing that occured to me was former Olympic Gold Medalist and welterweight boxing champion Ray Charles Leonard aka Sugar Ray Leonard or Sugaraylen, see what i did there, see, see, one r where there should've been two? See that shit? Thats cuz I'm a rebel y'see :D

I've actually wanted to change it to SugarGayFemme after a particularly inspired piece of childish name calling on the part of a certain member here who shall Angelica remain nameless :lol: Geeko the Spazzboy is another thats really stuck in my head.

Hahahaha!!! I always thought the 'Len' was for John Lennon, given your complimentary analysis of Beatles songs. :D

I was researching one of the most talented military commanders in the 20th century, and I thought I use the name.

"We need to let everyone know if they surrender to the enemy, their families will be executed, and when they return from captivity, they will be executed, too"

1941

"Why the fuck should we equip Ukrainians? They are all traitors. The more of them will drown in Dnipro, the less we'll have to send to GULAG after the war"

1943

what a guy :lol:

Creative as fuck.

I thought magisme was a spanish word or something

Me and Dazey had concluded that it was a homosexual french philosopher.

If I have to explain this username to anyone on this or any other GNR fansite, GTFO.

You read slash fiction involving Axl Rose?

That shit is disturbing. I read one where Axl and Slash and Steven were all fucking each other and getting mad at each other, it was posted either here or at GNFNR.

The worst is the emogirl fanfic about DJ Ashba. Cracked up laughing at some 17-chapter opus one girl had written online, wish I could find it now.

I initially wanted to name myself "Rocket King" as Rocket Queen is my favorite GN'R song (it was also my alias in the old Mygnr message board). However, that name was already taken. So, I then thought I would go with a name that combines Axl's home state with his last name. Funny thing is - I was 13 years old at the time, so I accidentally misspelled "Indiana" (I gave it two n's instead of just one). After realizing the error, I decided to leave it...my brand had already been cemented. B-):P

Alfie comes from the name of one of my three sons. Except he isn't called Alfie by anyone, his name is Alfred and woe betide anyone who tries to shorten it. He reminds me of Axl, very short, loud, angry and sweary but also very good looking and charismatic (when it suits) with massive green eyes and a great singing voice. The Rose is self explanatory.

I love him to death but by god has that child aged me. ;-)

Cheap Monday was a brand of skinny jeans I always wore as a 15/16 year old, Naturally I became CheapJonDay since Jon is my name. Stopped wearing the jeans around 17. Shortened it to CheapJon, it suited me since that was how I liked the ladies at that age, then it has stuck with me at GNR forums.

Used to be "Dazed & Confused" but people started calling me Dazey to take to piss and it stuck. :shrugs:

I always thought it was supposed to sound like one of the Seven Dwarfs, like Dopey...
