Mine's taken from a rare-heard prog track included on an out-of-print LP by a virtually unknown English prog band who, in their prime, toured endlessly in the early '70s on the English college circuit without success before becoming disgusted and disillusioned with the whole shabby enterprise. They never made it Stateside.
I'll have to go look it up again...I'll get back to you...

No, really: I just though about a "cool" stupid nick-name (Bj-1) and used it. And also because "Bj" is the first letters in my name.

So is your real name like Bjork? Or Bjohann?
My username is an accidental mispelling of the first track off of Camel's "Moonmadness." It was half-intentional, half-not.

Mine came from a word which got me an immense score in a Scrabble game (I had a blank for the third 'y'). I only discovered that there was also a prog band of the same name after I joined this forum - I've now got a copy of their album, though I can't say it's made a huge impression on me.
As for the meaning, look it up! (once an English teacher, always an English teacher).

Mine is the title of a Van der Graaf Generator song, in which Peter
Hammill claims that Meurglys III (his guitar) is his only friend

Yeah, mine came from the best band in the world, also the probably the
finest band in the avant-garde today (this REALLY means something to me)

And above all, is punk

Mine came partly from an Enchant song called "Progtology" but also from my wife.
Example...."Hey Progtologist,turn off the music and come to dinner!!!!!"

I own a stuffed cat called Dale. I've made three horror movies called Dalezilla I, II and III (currently working on Dalezilla IV). Dale is the main character in the movies. So that's where my nickname comes from .

Mine is a nickname a friend gave me when we used to play football together (as in Ron "Chopper" Harris).
I think he was being sarcastic as I rarely got near enough to anyone to foul them.
