Default explain your name...

i've always wondered why people chose the user names they have, so why did you chose yours? i chose turbulence because tibbies are called turbulence, and i love my baby.

There just seemed to be too many reasons for why I chose mine.
I might start by saying that IX XI are roman numerals for 9 11
First day I drove the car someone asked if it was the new Porsche. I just love the 911's, so that was the start.
At the time I was an Emergency Blood Courier, hence the 911 connection, and a licensed mortician, another 911 connection.
And the morning of 9-11, I paid for my TSR membership (needed the discount). Odd, but true. Just 'worked out' that way.

Mine is pretty much an inside joke I have between some surfer friends back home, and has been kind of a nickname since high school. Plus, it was part of my very first email address. evil_gri

My Tib used to be blacked out, and it is black, hence the name. The police didn't like some of my
"accessories" so I took them off. I'm not one to push my luck with the po po. Plus the ones I wanted were already in use.

eeeee.... because I'm weird ?

Seriously, when I was playing some RPGs with my friends, all my characters were really weird. So my friends started to call me the WeirdGuy, and are still calling me that way after many years.
