Story behind your forum username?

I started fixing the PCs for the local phone shop when I was 15 as their IT dept took ages to sort trivial things. Being the nerdy type and absolutely into all of the emerging mobile market, one of my now oldest friends called me "a bit of a gimp boy" which stuck as just Gimp.
I ended up working at the phone store as the manager eventually and graduated to Mr Gimp!
 
Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
I put my Walkman on and said, "I might as well kick it"

First class, yo, this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmm, this might be alright

But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

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, home to Bel-Air"

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo home smell ya later"
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
And that's how I came to be known as mrk
 
Quiet simply and rather unimaginatively. I was living in UK at the time I signed up here and being a Swede I thought I try TheSwede and it wasn't taken so here we are, soon 13 years later. And all I wanted to ask was advice about buying PC parts at that time but for some reason I have been sticking around, most likely for all the good advice when there is time for upgrading the PC from time to time. :eek: :D :p
 
First gaming nickname back in Quake2/TFC/CS 0.1 days, tango = target/terrorist, not used it since then though just on here
