Reasoning behind the JA606 Name

It is always interesting looking at screenames. Here on the spurs board, most relate to something to do with spurs, and some don’t.

For example. Some names are clear what they are all about. For example Thudd, oddiY, wearethefamous and Chicken.

However, there are others that seem to have more opaque reasoning or link up spurs, and some which just have no link.

Junction 8 I assume is named so because he lives on the M1 junction 8?
But then you have screenames that I cant fathom.

For example, what does RDBD stand for? What did RRP stand for? Why is Numbers names as such? Why is Raptor named as such? There are countless others.

Others have changed their names.... I used to be Tottenham_Boy on old 606, and now I am Chronic.

Messiah was messiaharry. Squid (why is he called squid????) was AanP on the old 606 (I think!)

It applies to other board too… lets discuss the goooonies. You have groovyduringthewar. Is that anything to do with arsenal? why is he called such. They you have 8-bit, Fubo and countless others with no connection to arsenal.

So what is the logic behind certain posters usernames? Or will it remain a mystery?

Mine came from an article about Luka Modric and his tactics for leaving, I dubbed him filfy Luka after the $ex pistols Comeback tour in the early 00s. "the filfy lucre tour"
I also used to love all the screen names with a play on their names, "incredibale" being a prime example.
So I stick in a load of lame pseudonyms.

Because alot of posters on here need to seriously ponder the underlining reasons why they feel so compelled to post such garbage. Why they think just because others view a situation in a different way from a different prospective, they need to lash out at them. And because they need to embrace all their inner dualities to reach a realisation that they are the true embodiment of themselves, without the need to hide behind such false personas which cause others to percieve them in a light unbefitting of a cultured, layered individual..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................also because it sounds cool, like a comic book villain

Mine might have something to do with living in Spain. Or then again, it just may be an affliction.
