Builderboy2005 was my first email address (because at that time i was a huge fan of building with Legos) and all of my internet names have been a derivative ever since :D

Luther (my alter ego) was the nickname given to me by my 5th grade teacher after he said I reminded him of Lex Luther for some reason :P

Interesting, from the picture you posted I don't see much Luther in you :P Must be the way your evil mind works :P Just kidding.

Lex Luther? :o

I used to play Legos when I was a kid. I hope to play a electronic version because I would need lots of Legos to start to have fun. I only got 2 boxes of the big Legos and I want bigger constructions.

My username is from two parts:

Graph+Mastur.  The graph is obvious.  It's to always remind me of my roots as a TI Programmer.  Mastur comes from master, as I am the best! jk, but seriously, I thought I was pretty good at the time.  So anyway, the reason I changed the e to a u is a secret. ;-)

When I saw your nick, I though it would be from you enjoying to graph in the calculators especially some functions that bring beautiful patterns.

I just decided to pick something catchy, something that would get people's attention and not soon forget.  For those of you who think I picked my favorite food as a name, my favorite food is actually chicken.
on Omnimaga IRC channel it's generally an hard idea to pick food nicknames, though, especially when me and Geekboy1011 are around ;D

For some reasons, the first few times I saw your nick I always misread it as graphmastuf x.x. I think it might be because on TI-Freakware there used to be a member that went under the nickname Mathstuf

Lol XD

That reminds me, I should start going at the local team games again (not MLB but whatever). Only issue is that home games are always on my work days and I am too tired to do the 1.5 hours bus ride x.x (2 hours to come back). For hot dogs it's annoying though because the place where you put your ketchup and stuff in your hot dog is very small and there's always some old dude who takes about 15 minutes to do it despite many people waiting, and you miss almost an entire inning x.x

I like baseball except for rain delays

Woo! Baseball for the win!

One of the best parts about having a ball park frank though is that no matter how small the area for the condiments is you still just stack as much as you can without it all falling off ;)

True.

Btw altough I like baseball, keep in mind my #1 sport would be hockey, though :P (altough baseball would probably be closer if the Montreal Expos did not become the Washington Nationals)

Mine came from an episode of Billy and Mandy, where Aris gives them the Apple of Chaos and lets them mess around with it. Billy and the talking burrito kept calling it a 'Magic Banana' and I just found that really amusing. Plus, as it turns out, not many people use the name 'Magic Banana' as usernames, so it works out fine for me.

Here's a video with the episode. It starts at around 13:11. The episode before it is really funny too. ;D

That's kind of funny, his name is actually Lex Luthor. Hehehe

my name, jsj795, comes a looooooonngggg way for me.
I've been using it since like 3rd grade (which means it's been almost 10 years), starting from Battlenet account I believe. :P
jsj stands for my initial in korean name. In Korea, you say last name first, and then first name.
So my last name is Jung, and first name is Seong Jun...
hence, jsj ^^
795 is pretty much random, except on the numpad, it's easy to type. having index finger on 7, 4th finger on 9,and middle finger on 5, it's just right there :)
when sometimes the name needs to be longer than 6 characters, I use jsj7985 :D
nowadays, I'm trying to change my nickname to Kiril. (Kiril is the name of the main character in TLM)

Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY

7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
