Welcome - Introduce Yourself Here

I was just wondering if some of the members names had some stories behind the name choices? Mine seems rather mundane by comparison!

When I was choosing my original name (Lord Diaper Baby - many iterations ago), I was unsure of what name to use. And, honestly, I am really unconcerned with what my name is 'cause it's all in good fun.

My ex-wife said something along the lines of "Well, you're a diaper baby" and that's how it started.

I tend to change my name often and once tried to veer away from anything diaper or baby related and the mod who has to approve name changes said no. Which, I'm not sure how enforceable that is, but I'm leaning into it.

This new version of my name is a riff on the recent question posed by a member of whether sparkle sharks can swim in lava water.

Funny story, I hadn’t realized that my handle came off as creepy or menacing in any way until I ran into someone from here in the real world and they made a joke about me NOT being a creepy weirdo as my handle suggests. I was a bit caught off guard and mentioned to my SO the conversation and she said she just assumed that was the image I was trying to project. Having “killer” in your handle is always gonna give off that vibe. Then she told me she always thought it was a play on the “BTK” serial killer; something I had never considered. I wasn’t even aware of the the BTK Killer until after I started using that handle.

The origins was from one time when I was talking to a friend about the “TLC” cable channel an how that was clever in its double meaning both The Learning Channel and Tender Loving Care but I got tongue-tied and instead said “Tender Loving Killer” which made everyone chuckle, but I also thought it would be a good pseudonym if I were to become an IDM artist a la Aphex Twin or Squarepusher but since I had no discerning musician talent whatsoever it instead became my new internet handle, replacing “The Unemployed Architect” a handle I gave to my younger brother, who is a musician, to record music under.

New account...who dis?

Lol, no, certainly not. You are the only one who ever asked me about that - if my memory serves, that was you and I who had the PM's about if I was that person.

I did not leave as Sisyphus under other than honorable conditions so I've no qualms about recounting that I am him. It was the opening days of COVID and there were a bunch of stressors so I took a short-sighted break in which I opted to totally delete my account.

Of course, that name is based on the Greek myth, but more so the importance Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus held for me in my 20's. If you ever find me on Steam, I game under the tag "mythFKAsisyphus" which also serves as an homage to Prince (TAFKAP).

Yeah, I was just joshin’ ya. I am fond of Camis, Sartre and Neitche and the absurdity of life so that handle always jumped out at me.

New guys, ignore this, @Mather is still salty about the time I sent him a snail mail letter saying he listened to Herb Alpert on purpose and had a murder lounge in his basement, inadvertently putting the RCMP on his tail. I mean if you’d seen pictures of his basement you’d probably come to the same conclusion, it’s like, bare concrete cinderblocks and really who uses garrotes (plural!) as decorative elements?

In my defense, it was really funny.
