Mine stands for "Tom Daschle 2004". 

Since it's not too obvious, I could pretend it stands for something else in the unlikely event that I'm no longer a fan of Daschle. Tongue

Username- I like computers and I used a random number generator on my ti-84 for the 89 part of it

Display Name- I am a  moderate and since people call that moderate hero here I chose that and the Republican stands for that my two favorite candidates are republicans

Ted Bessell was an actor that passed away in 1996.

As for the display name, I changed it to something similar before an important bass audition to boost confidence. It didn't work.

Mine is my actual name. It just seemed appropriate for a political forum since it's the name of what is now a critical swing state. I'm not that creative Sad

Username: Libertarian Enjoying Internet Nearly All Day. (Okay, okay, it's "Daniel" backwards. But it's a kick-ass backronym, right?)

Display Name: that, plus I was elected Governor in Atlasia in August, re-elected in December, and despite my attempts for a promotion last weekend, will continue to hold that office until April. I'm not a real Governor, which I'm sure comes as a shock to many of you.

If I end up out of office I might become "Fox News Contributor Leinad," since that's what a former Governor/failed Presidential Candidate from the right-of-center party would be doing in real life.

So admittedly, when I joined Atlas, I saw a bunch of people had names like "Governor ____" or "Senator _____", so I thought I would do something along those lines. Of course I realized that all of those names were related to Atlasia and felt silly so I dropped the governor part.

But Illiniwek.....that of course is a nod to the Illiniwek tribe and Chief Illiniwek, the honored symbol of the University of Illinois. I was the loudest supporter for the Chief in my four years at UIUC, and I eagerly await his return from exile. Screw (former) Chancellor Wise and long life the CHIEF!

I think this now means you're obligated to become a Governor in Atlasia. Tongue

84285 is just a random number. Figueira is a town in Brazil whose postal code is 84285.

According to Wikipedia, a Beaver is a 'primarily nocturnal, large, semiaquatic rodent'.  Beaver was probably taken, so I just acquired the second iteration of the username.

Did I introduce you to that? I seem to remember saying that in some sort of "say something about the proceeding poster's username" thread or whatever.

(I hope I did, because if I'm attributing the actions of others to myself, I've entered a new level of narcissism.)

Username: This one's pretty damn obvious

Display name: A slightly more subtle iteration of the first, without the Political Party preference. There were some end parts, but neither are really applicable anymore.
