Please redirect me if this topic already exists, but I couldn't find one. I put this in the music section 'cause if you're like me, you never check anything else, so sorry if it doesn't belong here. Anyway, I was curious where people's usernames came from. Kind of a nerdy topic, especially for all you too cool folks with just the boring birthname as username approach, but play along if you don't mind.
Alright, my username. My first name is Caleb, and a few years ago I played club soccer with a guy who started calling me K-leb Tweli (mixing up the rapper Talib Kweli's name to sound like mine, obv). I liked it, so I modified it a bit (kalib) and adopted it as an online moniker. Your turn!
Emperor was the best black metal band of all time, and they had a song, "I Am The Black Wizards". Combine this with the red wizard class from early Final Fantasy games, and voila! You have "I Am The Red Wizards"
I am a lost soul/I shoot myself with rock n' roll/The hole I dig is bottomless/But nothing else can set me free/
Most of mine have been obscure names from the Simpsons
The current is derived from “Little Jamshed” called upon to watch over the Kwik-E-Mart by Apu in the episode “Homer the Heretic.” Little Jamshed cocks out a shotgun and says “I have waited for this day” Jimbo, Kerny, and Dolph freeze in their tracks. I just thought that scene was hilariously.
I later modified it to J’Shed, and had been referred to as simply “Shed” by other users. Not too long ago I saw a picture of SuperTed while I was messing around on MC and decided to put Super with Shed.

Imagine everything I say as if it were spoken to you with the voice of Joe Pesci.
"pianofaerie" is a combination of my favourite non-vocal instrument (the piano, which I play), and my perhaps-naive belief in fairies, faeries, etc., however you want to spell it, and other planes of existence. The "solid brass. ring it!" is lifted from an amazing episode of Strangers With Candy. "It's the Liberty Bell. See the crack? Solid brass. Ring it!"
I wanted a different username for MSN, so I just thought of something totally random. It looked neat so I kept it. It's been nearly 3 years now. I googled it a while back and found out that "BAFE" means British Approvals for Fire Equipment.
The way you pronounce it is "bah" (like a sheep) and "fey" (like Tina Fey).

Filmore after my fave. Frank Zappa album (only spelled with one "l") Mescalito after the Hunter S. Thompson story where he tries mescaline for the first time Holmes I usually say is after John, but I really just liked how Cheech said it in the Cheech & Chong films.

Anyway, saints aren't angels. Also, please stop making jokes about rape. It pretty much makes me embarrassed for you.
Ever heard of Saint Michael the Archangel? No? Oh, thanks.
With regards to feeling embarrasment for me, I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's difficult to keep from blushing when you know there are pictures of a penguin beak deep in your rectum are floating around on the internet.
Also, you really need to change your signature Kalib. It's obnoxious.
