https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sVShT6nVTAPink Floyd >> all. I really liked this song ... and I was 11 when I started listening. Most of the other people were older than me, so the nickname stuck.

No.
I'm not sure if they still exist, but I use to write reviews for the site using my name.

Re: Where does your username come from?
One of my favorite tv series of all time is the anime Street Fighter II V (I was huge into Street Fighter 2).
It has amazing episode titles. Friends and I got a lot of laughs out of several of the titles - one of the best ones is "Trap, Prison, and the Scream of Truth: Proud Ryu".
The pronunciation of Ryu (americanized) sounds like "re-YOU" with the accent on the 2nd syllable.

Re: Where does your username come from?
Around the time I started posting on BOM (I had already been a lurker for a while before that - started following box office with Lord of the Rings), the movie John Q had come out (with Denzel Washington). I remember seeing it and really liking it, so I created my screen name after it.
Peace, Mike

Oh, I thought you meant the John Q with Timothy Dalton. Glad you clarified!

Re: Where does your username come from?
Some teammates at football started calling me this in my teens, deriving it a bit from my first name and the first letter of my last name, it mainly became just "stuff", but often that name is already taken.

Re: Where does your username come from?
Zwackerm is my grade school username I've had since kindergarten. Everyone's started with a z followed by the first letter of their first name followed by the first six letters of their last name.
When I joined I actually meant my name to be Dobby and zwackerm was a mistake.

I think it's more a Freudian slip.

There is one profile name and one username and I put zwackerm as the username. I thought it was just for logging in.
