Felt like making a relaxed non-LL related topic today.
Picked mine from an early 90s television show called Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad, which was itself an adaptation of an earlier show in Japan called Denkou Choujin Gridman. Kilokahn is the name of the main villain, a rogue military artificial intelligence program that wants to take over the world by unleashing viruses into the world's computer equipment. He was voiced by Tim Curry in the US version of the show. Thought the username would be suitable for this site because the guy wearing the Kilokahn costume happened to be short, which can be seen in an episode where Kilokahn fights the hero one-on-one.
Here's a clip of his speaking parts in the first episode, because Tim Curry sounds cool enough as it is and he sounds even cooler when given a voice digitizer effect.
So how did you guys come up with your usernames?
Nice thread idea. Some usernames leave you scratching your head wondering what the person was thinking.
My idea came from the idiom "a tall drink of water" but I was quite the opposite. Thus Short Drink Of Water was created for use on old forum . After LL I decided to change it to Medium Drink Of Water since I was now of average, medium height. If I ever have enough money I might get another 5cm on femurs to become 6 feet, in which case I'll finally become the Tall Drink Of Water I always wanted to be.
Mine's a play on the "collateral damage" expression. I think everyone here suffers some sort of collateral damage from being short and wanting LL, so I guess that's my reasoning. 
Easy!!
I picked my old forum username, "upinthesky", from a Joe Satriani composition.
I picked my LL Forum username while I was humming to Chris Isaak's Wicked Game.
I got my username from the 2013 Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks.
I got the name from my lack of creativity

It's incredible how a mere two inches can take you from medium to tall. I may have been guilty of trying out some two inch lifts for a day, recently, and, while those two inches seem like nothing on the tape measure, they make a world of difference in height. Those two inches made me taller than what feels like hundreds of people who I'd otherwise look up to. It's amazing how generally similar the majority of people really are in height. When you gain just a few inches, it feels like you've passed half the world.
When I see 5'8 and 5'10 guys side by side from afar, the difference seems like little. But when adding two inches to your height, it feels amazing, and you realize how large a portion of the human population is between 5'8 and 5'10, since you pass a lot more people in height than you expected to.
If only permanent height increase were as simple as slipping a pair of lifts into your shoes

Mine is actually my middle name. (Not at all an exciting story behind it).
