[Malazan777]

Mine comes from a fantasy series by Steven erikson called The Malazan book of the fallen. It's an epic 10 book series which if your into fantasy is a must read. The 777 comes from a special date of birth.

Jacob = my name.

Mine came from my possession of many electronics.

[routerbad]

My username comes from a something I was called early on in my Marine Corps career. I was performing an op-check (checking all of the components for functionality, running test configs on routers and servers to make sure all of the components worked correctly) on one of our DDS (Data Distribution System - basically a military network in a box) suites. Everything checked out in my DDS suite but the router (a Cisco 4000 series, if memory serves) would not boot. The NVMEM component was toast. On my op-check folder I marked in comments "router bad" and turned the book into our inventory NCO.

The next day when the Corporal came in and started checking the op-check logs he paused for a moment and barked at me to come over. When I got there he asked if my signature on the form was in fact mine. It was. He then, making sure everyone could overhear in the shop, said "routerbad?! Thats some **** a third grader would say f***nu*s! Are you a f**ing third grader devil dog?!"

From then on out, every morning when I delivered the appropriate greeting of the day "Good Morning, Corporal" he would respond "Good Morning, PFC Routerbad!" and it didn't take long for everyone in the entire squadron to catch on to it.

That was about 11 years ago, and I'm still Routerbad, though one of my peers when I was a seargent wanted it changed to wordpad, it never stuck quite as well. A google search only references me.

EDIT: Just as an additional FYI, when he called me Routerbad, he said it like you would expect a third grader to, in a high pitched, slightly slurred accent.

For some reason, when I was thinking of a new username from Adam5366 I liked the word Parallax. I switched it round to Xallarap but I prefered to have the 'X' at the end so it became Xallarax (I wanted the pronunciation of Zallarax). I used Xallarax in a game called Pocket Legends but people kept calling me Allara which sounded like a girls username. In the end, I wanted people to pronounce it with a 'Z' at the beginning and so it became, Zallarax.

Thought up by the wife around twenty years ago due to me building track day 'project cars' and engine conversion work at the time. This was a big hobby of mine.

I stopped on Deadhouse Gates, started reading Wizard's First Rule, book 1 in the Sword of Truth series.

First my name was Mr.Saturn90 named after a character from my favorite RPG Earthbound. I later dropped the 90 from my name and became simply Mr.Saturn. Then I went emo and changed my name to FallenSaturn and now since everyone always called me Saturn my name is simply Saturn now.

You should see the plaque my platoon made for me when I left.  The title read "Corporal Routerbad" and the message was attached to the motherboard of a bad router, lol.

Sounds like one of the classic memories that stick forever.

The Marine Corps is full of those, both good and bad.

My case worker had some pretty intereting stories from when he was in the Marine Corp. too. However not every story from the service is pleasant. The best stories to remember are the LULZ.

My username is inspired both by animation studio Pixar and the band Slipknot.

Sarsaparilla in the US is root beer for all intents and purposes.
