How did you get your username?

How did you come up with your questionably unique username? Mine's described in the linked video. Credit to ReesesCup on the idea in TFL's group chat.

  • Sit down, children - and listen to this story about how I got my username. One fateful day, when I was in sixth grade, I returned home to find my parents had left with the rest of my siblings to run errands. As any good student my age would do, I began faithfully working on my math homework. Suddenly, I was interrupted by a roaring engine noise and a loud crash in my backyard. I slowly crept to the window to see what it could be. What met my gaze made my jaw drop. Some kind of spaceship had landed nose-first in our lawn! Its tail end stuck out towards the sky slightly, fumes seeping from exhaust jets. I had seen many cartoons and movies depicting space ships, but this one looked different than any I could think of. The wings curved gracefully to the body, and I couldn't see any type of hard angle in its design. A large door that I had previously not noticed near the cockpit slid aside. Was I about to experience the world's first extraterrestrial encounter? I waited. And waited. Nothing else happened. [i]Well, if they're too scared to come out here, I'll go meet them myself,"[/i] I thought. Then I stepped inside the ship. Something in the cockpit caught my attention. An orange symbol, flashing on the center screen. I made my way closer and inspected it. The symbol was some kind of orb, with two rings revolving around it that made a perfect X across the surface. Out of childish instinct to touch everything, I reached out and brushed my finger on it. *BEEP BEEP BEEP* High-pitched alarm bells suddenly blasted throughout the ship. It was high time I got out of there. I clambered towards the door, only to find the hull sealed with no indication of the hole previously present in it. The entire ship started shaking furiously, and I was thrown into one of the rear chairs. Immediately, detainment straps shot out of the wall and closed around my body. I was hopelessly trapped. My small frame lurched forward against the straps as the ship suddenly jolted backwards. I felt the vehicle level itself in midair. A second later, the ship blasted into the sky, taking me along with it. I started crying. This had all happened so fast, I never knew what to do. I thought about my family and I knew there was a chance I wouldn't see them again. Restrained in the seat, I cried for what seemed like hours until I fell asleep. After who knows how long, I began to sense the ship decelerating. Something new appeared in the distance. It was small and hazy, but grew larger at an alarming rate. A planet! One that looked exactly like the symbol I had touched on the console. It was a deep swirling orange color, and had two thin rings crossing each other. This was to be my destination. On the approach, it became clear that I was approaching an airfield dome of some kind. Holes in the surface were continually opening to allow ships to enter and exit. The holes reminded me of the strange door I had found on the side of my own spacecraft. One opened for me as the ship grew nearer. Well, the plane landed and when I came out There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out I ain't trying to get arrested yet I just got here I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, homes to Bel Air' I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later' I looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
