Same here
Actually, I had a couple lined up but they were taken (even though I've never seen them being used during my lurking days and since i signed up four years ago).

You're trying to seduce me, Mister Robinson, aren't you?Does astrophysics work for you, too?

What about plastics?
No.
Mine is the title of a science fiction short story by Terry Bisson. I liked the story, I liked the way the name sounded. Pretty simple. If I only had half the cleverness my screen name conjures...
... you would be a genius!
I picked this as my IRC name 11 years ago because I liked the word. Since then I have used it on numerous forums and lists and blogs and.. it's me. Some people call me it IRL now.
Please?

Do you want him to seduce you?
Is that what you're trying to tell him?
(those are the next lines in the movie for anyone who didn't know)
Way back when I first got my own email address, I was trying to think of something cool and unique. What I came up with was archery_guy1701 ('archery' because I enjoy shooting traditional archery, '_guy' for shats and giggles, and '1701' for Star Trek). I've used a variation of that name on every board I've been on, and by the time I got here I decided that "archeryguy1701" looked better than "archery_guy1701", so that's the poster you've ended up with today.
That is so last century. The way to tsq's heart is through designer self-healing non-covalent hydrogels.You're trying to seduce me, Mister Robinson, aren't you?Does astrophysics work for you, too?

nano-machines are the wave of the future.
uh, what?
It rhymed and I thought it was funny.
I go by my first name on most of the other boards I'm on, but since I joined this place before all of those...back in the days when I thought the internet was going to rape me, I went here by the_andorian. I didn't think it was horribly unique here on a Trek board...and typing the _ when I logged in was a pain in the ass. I also couldn't think of any good holiday variations on it for the holiday name changes, which lead me to change it to Major Chord late last year. That ties in with my love of music, and it's easy to come up with holiday variations. So far I've used Minor Chord (music written in a minor key is usually very spooky, or depressing) for Halloween, and A Very Merry Chord for Christmas. It also allows me to use musically relevant avatars.
