My username came about 10 years ago.
I was off to the US of A for the summer to do Camp America and I needed an email address. Went on to Yahoo and tried to set one up using the username ‘MonkeyWanKenobi’ as I love Star Wars and monkeys so I thought I would have a funny mash up of a Star Wars characters name with monkey in there somewhere.
It was however already taken, so I tried about ten different characters names with monkey in them. They were all taken. Getting pissed off I even tried ScoobyDoosSweatyBollocks as a username, only to find that was taken as well.
Thought about it a bit more and decided that instead of being a Jedi Master, I would probably be a Jedi Monkey as I’m always fucking about instead of being serious, and I reckon that would probably be the lowest rank a Jedi could achieve.
Put jedimonkey with my first name on the end and Yahoo finally allowed it. I now have the same username for Hotmail and Gmail so that no one else can have it.
For the sake of writing on forums though I just use jedimonkey.
My avatar is a picture of Optimus Prime wearing a Spurs shirt. I love Transformers and love Spurs. Would have preferred a picture of Prime from the original cartoon, but couldn’t find a decent one of him front on.
