Ron and Fez are/were a talk show (now on XM). I've been listening since 1999 when they were local to NY and was a huge fan. In 2003, they moved to Washington and would download mp3s of the show to my ipod daily and then in ~2005 they moved to XM. I created most of my accounts in 2004-2005 and that was when i was most heavily into them.
I don't really listen as much anymore as the show has kinda gone downhill but still do listen here are there.

TTWIST is a name i chose after an enforcer that played in the NHL his name was Tony Twist and he was an absolute pugilist and i use that handle on pokerstars ,TKROCKET is just my initials for Tim Kelly and rocket was just an old nickname so i came up with TKROCKET and thats on fulltilt ,SHEETSIMO is my handle on absolute poker and that came from a player named Eric Haber who is regarded as 1 of the best short handed sitngo players of all time and is owner of pokerxfactor his online name is sheets and he rose to iconic status within the highstakes online regs and imo is short for in my opinion so i came up with sheetsimo and still to this day get some good lols from a certain crowd

Killingbird was the name of the band I was in when I first started playing online poker. I'm not in the band anymore, but the band still exists and in fact is who does the Poker Face cover that you hear on the TPE Podcast.
My high school mascot was the Cougars and my basketball # was 4. Cougars4 wasn't available so I went with Cougars4444. I know I'm really really original.
Good stories imo, I always wanted to just get on a site and play when it was time to choose a name I could never think of one, I went with last name,first name (weizened), then I thought that was lame so I changed on every other site and went with “Celldog” people always thought I was a convict, but really I couldn't come up with a name and I went with the two closest things to me at the time, Cell Phone and My English Bulldog, god thats ****ing stupid. LOL, I am not a pro or founder but what the ****.

I think mine is self-explanatory.
Mine is also a band name. When I first went to play on ps I swear I tried for over an hour and every name I came up with was taken. It was my roommate at the time that turned me on to poker and was in this local band as well as another buddie. When I put in it took. The orgin of the band name is from when were in H.S. we would get people we didn't like high then poke fun at them. The only thing worse than our attuide at the time was the music (not completely true as I still get the song ” need to fear” stuck in my head, I think it could be online somewhere).
