I got "Swift" From a friend of mine in Chicago. I did some website work with him and he said I was the fastest he'd ever seen. So from then on he just called me "Samurai Swift". I've always liked samurai's but chicks get a kick out of the "Swift" name.
So that's what I've been going by ever since. That was 5 years ago easy.

I used to by Sasuke, but it doesnt make sense no matter what i choose as an SN, one of my other ones is a mix of my first and last name. Clebbano.

i recieved a dare at my previous job to ride a water heater tank down a flight of stairs. I took the dare, got a few bruises and made a cool $20. I was dubbed the TankSpanker and the nickname stuck since then.

I would have asked for $50 though.
Well, I go by Spun on slashdot.org and LoveRevolutionary other places but I wanted something new, and a phrase from one of the license tests just kinda lept into my mind when I was signing up:
"To obtain your International A-Class Racing License, you'll need to successfully run the Sarthe Circuit at full wick in a Group C racing car."

My sister nickname's it's cat Tweaker. He really is though. He runs into walls and will out of nowhere jump up and usually not pay attention when trying to escape and run into something. We swear he's on something.

Well, Pink Floyd was first called The Pink Floyd before it became Pink Floyd so I just putted the "the" in between which results in my current nickname 👍

Well as you all know I am a major 'Benz fan, so everytime my friends saw me they'd shout 'Benz-boy!' so I called myself that. Now I know you're all saying 'But your name is Benzoboy. Well, it all comes down to a simple slip of the finger when registering for GTPlanet. I was typing something else when registering, quickly changing from page to page, well I forgot to change page when typing my name, so I accidently typed 'o' half way through my name and it stuck...
...and that is the story of my name
