I'm "way out there" in that I'm a mysty-eyed dreamer. That's the impression of me that people are supposed to get when they see my username anyway.

So, you're the man no one knows directly, save the fact that you're supposed to be dead.

On topic, most of my user name should be obvious. I likes me some cards. 12 is the number of letters in my last name. I use this id wherever possible, so Starcraft II saddens me as it would not let me add numbers to my username.

It comes from the Doom creature, the Archvile, probably the most annoying enemy in the game. I don't know why I chose the number 93.

I just finish watching lord of the ring and I needed to think of a username for gaia online so I tried golem and it was taken so I put 239 at the end and it became my trademark username for everything and if 239 was taken I'd mix up the numbers

Because I am not simply *a* madman, but *The* Madman. There's a difference between the two.

Loved you in Escape from New York! Heard it was based on a true story, true or false?

LogicNProportion came from my love of the song "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. The words are part of the latter lyrics to the song.
Hell yeah Jefferson Airplane.
I will never listen to them the same way again after 'A Serious Man'...

Anyhoo, because I'm a pseudo-intellectual ****** who actually likes postmodern literature and jazz music, mine is based on the title of Haruki Murakami's most famous novel, Kafka on the Shore.
Kafka Off the Beach is my attempt to be funny by countering the title's initial message.
Yaaaaaay

Because the ends of my nails are white.

I'm sorry if you were expecting an epic backstory, preferably involving espionage and damn good pie.

Mine is derived from Icarus. Who is my favorite mythical person ever. Something about his story just, idk I like it. Also I was reading 40k books and there's a lot of latin in there so the "ion" ending comes from that. Also I share a name with this boat

which was sunk by Germans in WW2. And an NPC in Wow. hmm never knew that last one. Nor the first one until I googled it

MystryMeet is my failed band's name. Name came from the chicken sandwiches at school that weren't made out of chicken...then when I told my band mates they said it was a cool band name, my friend can't pronounce Mystery, instead it became Mystry. We changed Meat to Meet because out single was "We are MystryMeet! We'd like to Meat you!" Because we are disgusting pervs like that...

My family has been calling me 'Peanut' since I was born (sometimes they would change it up and call me Goober. Which I found out later in life, was just another term for 'Peanut'.lol.)

And I play video games,the contents of which are usually hacking, slashing, stabbing, shooting, and generally maiming people and then doing things to their corpses.

So,..'Brutal Peanut' was born! Dun dun dun!. =D

I worked in a cubicle for about a month and I hated it. I wanted to turn my cubicle into a cubikill. Thus my name Cubikill.

Well i was in my basement gene splicing as a child prodigy when a horrible accident erupted! I had spliced a blob-like alien symbiote DNA onto a piece of pie! It attacked my cat and consumed it, but lucky i had my anti-alien symbiote pen in my pocket... so i stabbed it to death

Wouldn't it be cool if that happened?

What actually happened was that as a child... not prodigy, i was making a diablo 2 character. I put in Blob, it was taken... then i put in pie and THAT was taken. So yea i kinda put them together.
