Mika Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 QUOTE (t2s @ Jul 20 2012, 12:54 AM) My username = my initials Sweet, you have a number for a middle name? I wish I had a middle name. I remember when I was really little, just starting at school, and all the kids would ask each other what their middle names were. After discovering that not having a middle name was in the minority and answering "I don't have one" kind of killed the flow of conversation, I began making up middle names for myself. I remember my first was, for whatever reason, 'Rolendia'. And what's with all the references to 'YYZ' lyrics? Reminds me of the Exit, Stage Left concert dvd where the warning is shown that the vocal segment of 'YYZ' has been omitted due to its explicit nature.

J2112YYZ Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The "J" is for Jeff which is my name and the rest is just two Rush song titles combined. This has also been my e-mail address since about 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Back in the 90's I used to hang out on a Cocteau Twins website and became good friends with a girl named Lisa. She always referred to people who were obsessed with things as goobers. For example, we were both Cocteau Twins goobers, she was really into anything from the 19th century, so she was a 19th century goober, etc. It kind of developed to be my online name, so when I joined TRF rushgoober seemed the obvious choice. I also like the term goober as just denoting general goofiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On TheRoad To Adventure Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Mine is taken from Dreamline, which is one of my favourite RUSH songs. Since I live a long ways from any venues where RUSH plays, every concert means a road trip. RUSH concerts are always adventures, so there you have it: I'm On the Road to Adventure!

I'm in the same boat as you - have to travel for a Rush show, but it becomes a trip that way; since Rush isn't going to Vancouver this time around, we're going to make a big deal with the Edmonton show! Big trip, but it'll be awesome! I'll have to remember to have 'Dreamline' on the ol' cd player when we make the trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
