What significance does your Username have?

Queequeg was the cannibal harpooner in the book Moby Dick. i thought he was bad ass when i started using AIM years ago; i was like 12 so yea.
My user name is the same everywhere I go... And it is what all of my friends and most of my family calls me... It was spawned from my habit of doing really weird redneck/hillbilly stuff... Most of the things I do start with "Hey watch this"... and end with "OH SHIT!" or "WHOOPS!" But being an electronics major I cant just do things in a normal hillbilly way.. like for example I have built some major potato guns.. but hair spray and a lighter wasn't good enough soooo I broke out my old welder and put the acetylene and oxygen to it.. after it blew up I realized it need to be away from me when it was fired so I bought some electronic valves and some relays and such and made it radio controlled... then the potatoes got boring so we fashioned bullets from aluminum blocks... (2 inches around and 5 inches long) and started shooting that at stuff... And another long story short on how hillbilly I really am... we had a birthday party for a two year old and some how it turned into "lets see how bad we can mess this car up"... I actually have a pic of the car.. I will find it and add it to this post!
EDIT: PICS AS PROMISED
These Pictures were taken the next day after we were no longer drunk...
And this pic was taken while we were doing it... I am the one in the white shirt... the guy standing on the ground with the beard owned the car and was very angry that we did what we did.. but a little more alcohol and he came around...
So I hope this helps you understand why my username is "A Hillbilly"...

Mine comes from my user name on the xbox. (Insert generic nerd joke here) When I signed up for that service years ago it suggested a few different names, and given my state of mind at the time 
I thought it was funny. I've used it on just about everything online since, just to keep it simple...

Mine comes from when I used to work in a cafeteria..busy breakfast, I was cooking like a madman..and every couple minutes I would hear "grill cheese"..every time I turned around from the grill the lineup was still there, yet no one said anything to me..so I continued cooking. Eventually it turned out that 1 person was standing beside the toaster and tried telling me his order, but it didn't come out fast enough before I turned around to work the grill. I always giggle when I hear "grill cheese" just because of that one guy. 
what kind of bike do you ride?
i am a bodyboarder and 3 of my friends surf so thwy would always refer to me as the "sponger" so came spongey and my race bike is a gsxr600.

PM sent.
The alpha-nerd part was given to me after spending a lot of time in yahoo chat help rooms - given that i was mostly thirsty while there bentalphanerd came to be. Now i'm googleable & even scored alphanerdz.com who knows where its going.
I'm still thirsty

Yep,.. A 2 year old... The birthday party was technically over but,... well you know how it goes...
I come from Newcastle.
I think you should change it to "NewNovacastrian" from Newcastle in NewSouthwales.
I love hot food, hot peppers, and hot cars.
I have a 1967 Coupe DeVille. It's Prowler purple with a black vinyl top, and blacked windows. 429 Cadillac big block, 500w subwoofer in the trunk, electric everything (windows, seats, etc.).
I think it's like 21 feet long, built when gas and steel was cheap the ULTIMATE street sled....
It really was a lot of fun... We hillbillys ALWAYS have fun!
