Usernames

Alowishus

Alowishus is one of the few usernames that he uses both as forum usernames and gaming IDs.

The name originates from a likening he took to the name after listening to the song "My Name is Mud" by one of his favourite bands "Primus":

My name is Mud, but call me Alowishus Devadander Abercrombie

TheGreatPumpkin

For those that didn't have a childhood: The Great Pumpkin is an unseen character from the Peanuts Comic Strip and television special: "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown".

Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere......Tonight the Great Pumpkin will rise out of the pumpkin patch. He flies through the air and brings toys to all the children of the world.

Alowishus is that Pumpkin. This is now one of his more commonly used user-names in gaming and in general online however he still uses Alowishus.
