I'm Guybrush Threepwood. A mighty pirate!
I think many people know where my nick comes. Those who don't, it's from Monkey Island game series which is my favourite.

this little: /*- is just the three keys on top of the numpad (yeah, no one knew that ;)
nothing special honestly. me using slash_star_dash is thanks to feitclub who actually gave me a name. viewer also suggested something (sorry, i cant remember it exactly), but feitclub's stuck better. its also a result of bisqwit not being too fond of the / in my name.
sorry... nothing interesting. and also sorry for not seeing this thread.

Wow... didn't think there was so many stories behind the different Nicks. Well, here's mine:
Started using the name Mazzic in 4th grade (9 years ago) due too the reason "When you use Internet, you have too have a cool Nick, duh". Mazzic comes from a book (which name I can't remember) but he is a smuggler. (Wait, think it was somekind of StarWars book...) Anyway, I stole the name right of!
I also use the lastname Kiegel. Where that comes from, well I don't know. Think I stole that from a German pen-pall board I visited once, in the very begining of my Internet usage. (Though, I'm quite sure it was spelled Kihege or Kieghel or something like that but I changed it later due to lazyness).
That's my story.
Bein' away for like five years, and not a single new post in the ZSNES forum... :'-(
Here's the amazing story behind my awesomely cool name:
It's something that my sister said one day after I got mad at my computer. Now it's internet pop culture. heh.
just made up a stupid name real quick so i could make one post not knowing i would get sucked into this site and stick around
Just a question: was the "23" number picked up accidentally or intentionally? It's my favourite number, and it surrounds me almost everywhere, even in my birth date (23 of October, 1985; 1+9+8+5=23).
As for my nickname, it came after an interjection "mooh" (which I used back in the 2002), later transformed into "Mo0zOoH" (this wacky style of typing actually reflects the intended pronounciation, and thus makes it pretty unique; I still use it at Hydrogenaudio forums, Discogs.com; my world top-20 Crimsonland appearance also came with this nick), and later "moozooh", which is a simplified version that came up somewhere around the mid-2005. It's clean of that wackiness which noone really understood, but still fairly unique. Besides, it's not case sensitive, which makes it perfectly suitable for my current gmail and livejournal accounts.
That's all, I think.

I remember something in the Illuminatus Trilogy about 17 and 23 being special numbers, that might be part of it. it also happens to be michael jordan's #, but i'm not really a fan, its just a coincidence.
Grammar police:
Just an FYI, a name can't be "pretty unique" or "fairly unique". Unique means one of a kind. A thing can only be one of a kind or not one of a kind; therefore it can only be unique or not unique.
I'll let you off with just a warning this time.

Nitpick police: I think that should be the semantics police, not the grammar police. ;)
Outside of that, my own nick's the name of a character from a book.
Well my name is fairly unique... I came up with it fair and square and all those other Gigafrosts are posers and copycats! (Actually it might be true... google searches for my name only turned up me and some Wild Arms monster in the past... then somebody registered an account as Gigafrost and it was a guy from my forum.)
Also, I think my name is pretty unique... but since I guess it's not unique anymore it's not pretty anymore. :(
