Back when Netscape was dot com and not dot net I had an account there. One day I forgot my password to check email so I just whipped up a new account. All the cool names were taken so I pounded on my laptop with my hand and this came up, n88tr, so I’ve stuck with it since. Very unique name, done a lot of game mods and map work with it. I like it because it’s very unique basically, and it’s my online identity name, i don’t use any other names, multiple personas or anything, except cahemdue, I use that sometimes.
its the coolest name ever.
I went to state my sophmore year of high school for wrestling. My nickname at the time was “Mack Truck” (another story). The team mom was making shirts for everyone and called wanting to know what my nickname was so she could get it on the back of the shirt. I said Mack Truck… she heard Mad judge… and “Mad Judge” is what my shirt had on it. For one reason or another that one ended up sticking, and its been with me through the years
“Jibster” developed over time from folks initially shortening my name to the initials “JB”. My God given name is "J"ebediah "B"artholomew. I’m originally Amish, you know the horse and buggy? I was thrown out of the culture when I was 17.
I know someone is bound to ask how one gets tossed out the Amish so here’s the rest of the story:
Whenever I’d drive our buggy into town I’d always pass this gym and never really paid any attention to it (didn’t even know what a gym was). Then one day I was forced to stop in front of the gym for some reason (my horse had to take a sh*t) and I heard loud noises (like a blacksmith banging an anvil) from inside. I looked in and saw this huge dude doing dead lifts with some crazy looking amount of weight. This primal spark went off deep inside me and I was like I want to do that!
So I stared lifting and throwing stuff around the farm when I got back home and eventually got bigger and stronger. I would also sneak into the gym on some trips into town. I often ate up all our chickens and eggs and drank all the raw milk that were supposed to be taken to market. The elders also didn’t like that i’d started to take off my shirt while working in the fields or on barn raisings. It distracted the lady folk you know. That and I smoked cigarettes when in town waiting for farm equipment deliveries.

That’s kinda like “making it out the hood” right? Congrats.
Basically started curling my right hand for reps on end every day when I was 15 just to see if my bicep would grow for shits and giggles. Well it did, so I then said ‘fuck it’ to myself and started to workout my whole body…Hence the name Bicep_craze. Stupid but true.
When I first started discovering the internet at the tender age of 12, my brother mentioned the name Jereth from one of his books and I thought it sounded cool.
As for the 127 part? It’s just the numbers I add onto any account handle if some site won’t accept Jereth on it’s own.
No, it’s nothing to do with David Bowie’s character form Labyrinth.
Exciting, eh…?
Larry David, of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Although I only watch Curb. I suppose I ought to have a picture of him as the avatar, but I also watch the late night shows a lot, especially Letterman.
You do the math…

y = -(square root(25-x^2))
Yup, makes sense.
HM wins best story.
For the longest time, I thought pushmepullme was pushharder’s wife, until I saw pics of Meesus Push.
jo3 = Joe. The 3 was a cool way to represent an E when I was in middle school, and it’s stuck ever since.

I’m no pirate expert though, I’m pretty sure you’d still be my boss.
I think I would be the grovelling yes man to be honest.

You win all the fucking time.
I would believe any story you told me about strange, based purely on how funny you are here.

Definitely the best hip-hop group ever.
Art is my first name and my last name starts with a W. I might change my forum name though. The RZA has inspired me. Maybe Dirt McGirt or the Ghostface Liftah.
I desire to consume food quite often.
