About 20 years ago I was playing a pen-n-paper rpg with friends and my character built a robot dog. hosed up the intelligence roll, so it wasn’t very smart, so I named him Retardog, the cognitively-challenged canine companion.

I’ve used it pretty much everywhere online, though these days it’s somewhat problematic.

Prosecutors: Look there are these laws, and yes we know they are super vague, and we know they were not intended for this purpose, but we are going to prosecute you anyway.
Me: But, how was I supposed to know it was a crime if the law wasn't worded or intended for what you say I did. Is that even a crime anyway?
Prosecutors: Have you ever heard the term: Strict Liability?
Me: No?
Prosecutor: Well, that isn't a good enough defence.

Pah.

"Pastry of the Year" is an award given to vending machine treats1



and I also find it pleasing both to the ear and simply as a concept



1 The "Big Texas" cinnamon roll won this award five years in a row, and I was in a motel with well-stocked vending machines when I stopped lurking and made my account

A shrimp pastry idea still makes me horrified but curious.

My username is easily stapled as just Papa Emeritus III from the band Ghost, but the idea came from my irl nickname being Papa.

To those who dont know, I'm one of those fabled ladygoons. While in my 20s, I watched a documentary about some biker gang and the leader had the nickname Mom. I thought it was the greatest thing ever and was highly amused. I babbled about it to a few people in my squad(I was in the army at the time) and I was jokingly assigned Papa as a radio call sign. It stuck after that.

When registering, I wanted to incorporate that nickname. I love Ghost a lot, so it worked out.

I had finished reading the Silmarillion, and Melkor and/or Morgoth were probably taken. I also liked Blind Guardian, so I went with their moniker for the same character.

One of my better friends is named Steve Mathis, and he came up with the aim name StizzMatic of which I was very jealous and tried to come up with something similar using the first letter of my last name.

In other words I copy catted my friend and came up with something not nearly as good.

Bindi Bhaji Boogie (Papadom Rock) is an original song by the Sikh Welsh Elvis impersonator Peter Singh. I misspelled it because I didnt take the two seconds required to check the correct spelling.

I was playing Counterstrike in 1999 with my college roommate and we were both pretty bad at the start so we picked names to reflect that. He was SittingDuck and I was CannonFodder. I've had this handle for over half of my life.

One day I was playing Counter Strike and a friend of mine was still using Windows 98, and the rest of us had migrated to XP by then. So I changed my name to Windows 98 to mock him in game and it stuck.

I use the same username for like half the poo poo that requires a username online

This way I will never forget, which is also why I use the same password for everything and periodically I have my Fortnite account hijacked or money mysteriously goes missing from my checking account

An acceptable price for convenience and laziness imo
