What's the story behind your forum name?

[okyoureabeast]

I find that this question is rarely asked, but when it is I always find interesting stories behind the naming of internet screen names.

Some of you guys have pretty funny names while others are just plain boring. I'm looking at you Craig, JimmyL, and Brian :p !

I love telling my story and I'm guessing a lot of you here probably thought when I first started posting here, "wow what a weird name."

Well here it goes:

Back in 7th grade (almost 8 years ago!) my friend Dan was really into basketball. His older brother Jeff never got along with Dan and the two always fought.

Well one day Dan went around his house with a basketball dribbling and doing faux hoop shots. He was going around screaming, "Look at me! Look at me! Look at these skills I'm a beast!"

His brother Jeff in pure frustration turned around and screamed right back,"All right! You're a ****ing beast!"

And from there my screen name was born! I used it on aim as okyourabeast and for awhile the incorrect form of your was used. To this day I feel really dumb about that and hope to eventually transition to the newer name I have on here.
