My username has nothing to do with religion.   

My oldest son was a drummer in the HS band.  When he was a freshman there was a senior that played drums and my son said that the kid thought he was a god on drums but he really wasn't very good.  So one day at the dinner table my other son was telling me a different story about one of his friends, who happened to be the brother of the drummer that thought he was a god. 

I asked "who is this kid you're talking about?"  and my oldest son said "he's talking about god's brother".    We all started laughing and the next day is when I joined FBGs.  I needed a username and Godsbrother seemed as good as anything else.

ETA:  I've never used an alias for all of the time that I've been here.  If I can't own up to what I type here I shouldn't be saying it.

ditto bromigos take that to the bank 

 
Back in 2004, I had was single, and lonely, and I pretty much hated myself.  Trying to learn how to talk to people on the outside, going home alone at night and fighting depression.  I got a dog.

I was on recruiting duty at the time, which means long hours, and not much money.  That poor dog was there for me when I needed him, and I was not around enough to take care of him the way he deserved.  I tried to give him affection when I was around, but sometimes, I was overwhelmed by life and even man's best friend couldn't get me out of my funk.  

I didn't happen right away, but the dog became aggressive.  Too much isolation and not enough love.  He ended up biting a neighbor, and I had to put him down.  the neighbor was fine, but I was never the same.  

I have learned to live with the guilt, but I have never forgiven myself for that dog, who deserved so much better than I could offer him at the time.  I get choked up just thinking about it, even now. 

After that, I learned to try not to always be selfish.  To think about other's plight and feelings.  I always want to treat living beings with respect, never miss an opportunity to tell them how much they mean, and to show them the affection and attention they deserve.  My username is a constant reminder of that. 

That dog's name was Caesar.  I owe him my life.

 
Had a 7th grade basketball coach who couldn't remember my first name, and didn't just want to call me by my last name, so he started calling me Arnie and it stuck. By the time I graduated from high school, almost nobody in the school (including most of the teachers and administration) knew it wasn't my real name.  Went to college thinking I had escaped the nickname, and did, for about 5 hours, until I bumped into someone from my high school who lived on the same floor. 45 years later, only people who know me from work use my real name. Everyone else uses Arnie. 

 
Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be frequented by men with vocabularies. Who's gonna do it? You? You, @Arizona Ron? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for @General Malaise and you curse the FFA. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that @Officer Pete Malloy's banning, while tragic, probably saved likes. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, *saves likes*. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on this board. You need me on this board. We use words like shuke, meh, wut. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent characterizing something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very words that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide them! I would rather you just said "thank you" :-)hug:) and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a thesaurus and compose a post. Either way, I don't give a *damn* what you think you are entitled to!

 
**** Vermeil was always my joke porn name and was my first fbg name. Then some a hole arrived on this board with a user name the same as the famous sports doc and was dolling out advice in the shark pool. He called me out when everyone shouted him down. Bing bang boom Joe made me change my name. Really sidetracked my porn career.

 
as seems to be the case for a lot of people here, it started in high school.  My name is Joe and last name has a MAR in it.  so in HS, I had many nicknames: JoeMarvelous, JoeMarvin, JoeMarijuana, and more, and then eventually it got shortened down to just Jomar.  Nickname fell off after HS but 15 years later, I was joining the internets and its the best I could come up with in my state of mind at the time.  I've had it ever since, 3 different MBs

 
Back in the days I played guitar in bands, I was known around town as the Zen Meister. I was also a dead head so one of the bands I started I decided to name after a dead song, "Uncle John's band" and called the band "Uncle Zen's Band." From then on, I was known as Uncle Zen.

As a side note, that band really sucked.

 
I have a common, boring first name and a weird, German/Hungarian last name, in which h-e-r-b are the last 4 letters.

Herb (H is pronounced, not silent) was a nickname a coworker gave me around the time I started posting here (2000 or 2001). I've been given that nickname 2 more times since, also by coworkers, none of which knew I'd been called that before.

Coincidentally (or not?), at the time I was christened with the original nickname, I was a 24 year old, blissed-out, daily pot-smoking machine.

Now at 43 with 2 young kids, not so much.

WHATCHU GONNA DO WHEN HAGS RUNS WILD ON YOU

Last name is Hagman. A teacher used to call me Hagmaniac. I used to like it, but as years went on I found "maniac" to be a bit cringe and settled for the more zeitgeist capturing nickname that a worldwide phenomenon such as myself inspires.

Lowercase because aesthetics. Capital H is uggo.

You ARE a YouTube sensation now.  May as well play it up.

 
My initials and type of car I own.  I’m not very creative apparently.  

Given a chance to do over it would be a Seinfeld reference of some kind.   Still not very creative....

 
Over two decades ago when I first drove my  black Yukon in from Tuscon with the Isley Brothers song playing to meet up with some friends in trouble.  I was a bit of knucklehead as a young man but very good pulling off robberies. In our best one, my two buddies and I made 350k a piece.  I bought a truck, 2 kilos and laid low for a while.  The two friends didn't lay low and were shot and ended up in jail.  I decided to leave the country and spent some time working on my Spanish.  I returned to the states, still a criminal and lavish habits.  I even made America's Most Wanted when I slit the throat of babies mother's brother.  I was arrested while high on marijuana and in possession of a pistol; I knew the police made several errors during the arrest so I took it to trial and beat it.  I remember walking out of the courthouse feeling undefeated.  I even got tattoos around gun wounds as a badge of honor.  The name Arizona Ron just stuck.

So, you're the original ****?

 
It's 2002. The game "SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals" is released on the OG PlayStation . Me and my buddy were in grad school and played...a lot.

It was the first online multiplayer game I played. We started an in-game clan with some friends called "Diseased" or something, and picked our user names based on that. But we weren't real scary diseases, but dumb ones. He was Scurvy and I was Ringworm. 😄

Eventually shortened to Worm and the rest is history. 

 
Nothing to do with chicken or hockey. Wingnut was a term we used to use back in the day for people we thought were a bit off/goofy/not all there. When I created an account here I couldnt think of anything else. #coolstorybro
