Way back in the day I wanted my club penguin to be named sparky, but that name was already taken. So club penguin recommended to me sparky678348

To paraphrase a longer explanation, I’m a Nintendo fan, I like Mario games, I love the Bowser fights. I wanted some alliteration on that and Bashing came to mind. Played with that and ended with BowserBasher

Because I wanted to be obscure and mysterious, but if I'd call myself MrMysterious I'd know deep inside that I'm a wanker.

Its the same username I had at the other place that shall not be named, until I got permabanned for reasons still unclear to me.

I originally joined via the swimming sub there, looking for recommendations on waterproof music players to use while swimming so I can listen to AC/DC and Motohead etc while swimming laps. I'm a bogan (Australian and New Zealand slang for a person whose speech, clothing, attitude and behaviour are considered unrefined or unsophisticated) and I swim laps every day. Therefore..... waterbogan

The first time I tried karaoke, I was a bit intoxicated and worried that, having a common name, another Nick would get confused. My parents worked by full name incorrectly, so, I figured that that would be a great way to differentiate it, not realizing at the time that the name "Nick" itself normally has a "k" in it, making "Nick w/ a K" arguably more confusing. After sobering up, I found the whole concept wonderfully silly and decided to switch to it as my main screen name.

A real life nickname I've had since I was 7. I've just stuck with it for the past 26 years. It actually originated from the Beanie Baby Lizzy. And Izzy is just Lizzy the Lizard without Legs. 🐍

I hit randomize in a passphrase generator until it farted out a mental image that made me laugh.

Because it’s clear to me that in order to solve the problem of school shootings, we must arm kindergarteners with grenade launchers.

I came up with it when I created my second acc on Reddit; I didn't want to spend time thinking of a username so I just thought of the first two words that described my mood at the time and went with it. It means "melancholic potato", I like how dumb it sounds

Well, I'm waiting to drop a standard line that can be deduced from my username, but I still haven't landed a good post to do so...

Also, I wanted it to be disjoint from my former Reddit usernames
