I’m half Korean, 6’ 230lb. My martial arts instructor said to me, “You’re the biggest fucking Korean I’ve ever seen.” So Giant Korean just kind of stuck.

One time I walking past a bar with some buddies in high school and a very drunk man was kicked out right in front of us. He screams and hollers at the bouncer and throws a big tantrum about it for a bit then out of NOWHERE he pulls out several folded up strips of bacon out of his front pocket, takes a bite and this seems to calm him down.

We’re all flabbergasted by what we’ve just witnessed and we’re all very obviously staring right at him when he notices us. He slurs, “Sorry you had to see that, little dudes” and offers us some of his pocket pork as an apology, which we politely refused. He shrugs and goes on his merry way.

This was right around the time reddit was taking off and I made my account a few days later and it was the first thing that came to mind. Thus, BaconInMyPants was born.

It’s a line from a Pink Floyd song. I like the fact that when people see my name, if they know the song, they probably hear it in their heads. This is especially poignant since I once had a love like no other- it was our song. He died, but he would have loved my username. He would have loved Lemmy, too.

I had an old internet friend on Tumblr when I was 13-14 or so who had the username “coolpng”. One day they just deleted all of their accounts with no warning, no trace, no nothing – just vanished, so I made the username “cooljpeg” in honor of them and in hopes that maybe they’ll run into my e-presence one day. It’s also just a simple 'n funny username, and I love jpegs so :+D

Feanor is one of the most important elves in the silmarillion. He is the creator of the silmarils and he led the noldor back to Middle Earth

It’s a new name for me. I’m Coco, recently.

Zoids toys are cool and I like Futurama.

In Anarchism one of our most influential books is The Conquest of Bread by Pyotr Kropotkin, also known as the Bread book. I needed to burn my old social handles and at the time the anarchist meme sub reddits would call our dank memes yeasty memes (since bread) and so I chose the name AnarchoYeasty

I love the stillness of winter. The type during a blizzard where everything “sleeps”.

I had this realization when playing Dragon Age: Inquisition: https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Winter_Stillness

This year we made a jackdaw friend in our garden. We can feed it directly from the hand and it’s comfortable around us.

Jackdaw in Swedish is Kaja (sounds kinda like “Kaia”)

We named it Kajko (kaiko). I liked the name and now I’m using it.

I made the mistake on the r site of naming my account for what I used it for, which was wasting my own time. It was intended to serve as an active reminder that I could be doing better things with my time. I had about 50/50 split If people thought I was a troll or not, though, so I didn’t bring it with me.

I wanted to go with a different but similar theme, and a lot has changed in my life and frankly, I’ve grown rooted and apathetic. The username is a reminder to be better.

This probably won’t be the account I end up using long-term, but it’s a good one for now, as I learn everything.

It’s a word I made up in High School (mid 90s) for a D&D character. It’s based on the Latin word for truth - veritas - but with tweaks it sound “cool” and like an actual name. When my family finally got internet, it also became my go-to username/identity for all things digital.
