I was the lead singer for Alice in Chains, one of the core groups that defined Seattle Grunge in the early 90's.

Also, I died in 2002. Don't do heroin, kids.

Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae - a family of germs that are difficult to treat because they have high levels of resistance to antibiotics. E. coli is an example.

Healthy people usually do not get CRE infections – they usually happen to patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare settings. Patients whose care requires devices like ventilators (breathing machines), urinary (bladder) catheters, or intravenous (vein) catheters, and patients who are taking long courses of certain antibiotics are most at risk for CRE infections. Some CRE bacteria have become resistant to most available antibiotics. Infections with these germs are very difficult to treat, and can be deadly—one report cites they can contribute to death in up to 50% of patients who become infected.

Had made mine when I had just started working in the industry and am a huge fan of Christopher Nolan's dark night trilogy. So... Patrick Bateman Begins.

It ain't as funny once you explain it.

Move along, nothing to see here.
 

It's relevant to me because I've been learning how to read since I was born. Still haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet.

It's relevant to you because you really ought to read more.

mine is basically the result of a naive 19 year old college student thinking that deal flow was tight.

6 years later, would probably change it to FeedMeaHealthyWorkLifeBalanceandBetterMentalHealth if i could.

During my online poker heyday, I enjoyed reading Dan Brown book's and also won multiple FTOPs tournaments with the name, so I figured I would stick with it.

 

Fun fact: Even though Napoleon Complex is associated with insecurity about one's height, he was not short. He was 5'7'' or 174 cm.

Don't beat yourself up on this, Eric. Some people like taking the long way home. Who the fuck knows?
 

I represent the senior equity interest in a special purpose vehicle created for a limited partnership incorporated in the Cayman Islands. My sole general partner was a Houston, TX-based natural gas company which is no longer in operation. All my interest and assets are currently held under receivership by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.

Mine is a prophesy that I like from 700 BC.

I have it inked on my arm in the original Hebrew script.

People think I'm named Jake Paul after the social media/youtuber douche.

I actually take after Jacob "Jake" Paul, an advisor to the first LBO in history, that he pretty much spearheaded and figured out (advised McLean Industries in the 50s). Kohlberg and Kravis took after Paul years after, and most people here know how that went...

He doesn't get enough love as an innovator/pioneer here. I would've never heard of him without some obscure literature a professor mentioned my sophomore year of college.

I guess his approach was pretty rudimentary and improvisational, but still he made a huge mark on the game. My picture and signature are from a movie.

"famejranc" I'll start. Mine is more or less James Franco, but backwards. Woah, genius. I know. It took me a while to come up with this one.

It doesn't even seem close.

James Franco backwards is Ocnarf Semaj?

Me and a friend started trading crypto currencies a while back, was a lot of fun with the low barriers to entry and the high volatility ( I ended up breaking even after the meltdown in 2018 btw, learned a few lessons).

Anyway, we ironically (with a hint of unironic egoism) decided our enterprise needed a nickname that sounded finance-esque. We tried a few "hedge fun name generators" and the results were not bad, just cookie cutter. After some though I came up with Chrysos Clan Capital. Chrysos = Gold in Greek, it sounds cool, gold obviously as the symbol of money, wealth, prosperity. Clan = As in blood relation, both our families hail from the same part of the world and are part of the same clan. Barbaric, I know. "Capital" just topped off the name.

So here were are. I joined the forum, didn't want to use my name, thought the name I came up with was good, so I used it.

 

It's actually a really stupid username. When I was a kid I liked a game called xblaster for a while, so that was my username back then for a lot of sites. The '2000' is based on nothing special, just that at one of the sites the name 'xblaster' was already in use and 2000 was just something that came up. I didn't have inspiration for a better username, so I just that about this one.

 

From Crooked Hillary to Rocket Man or Sloppy Steve, the POTUS never fails to deliver a quality nickname, which as we know, is just about the only meaningful content to come out of the White House thus far. I chose to dedicate my username to that milestone as a simple reminder that this is, in fact, reality - Donald Trump is our President. It’s remarkable, fascinating, and terrifying at the same time. Love him or hate him, we, the people, willingly and voluntarily put him in this seat. He’s OUR President. He’s our Tariff Man.
