The deeper meaning behind....screen names.
So, earlier tonight on the OS chat, I see folks were discussing why the heck there is so much damn Pie on this site (I missed the conversation). I know we talked about our screen names not too long ago on the old site (which, I believe, is when "The Oracle" was born), but since we're here now and there are lots of new folks, how 'bout we all recap why we chose our particular names. That includes you newbies. :)
My pie comes from my boys. We call them cutie pie and sweetie pie, pie 1 and pie 2, p1 and p2, etc. When I joined OS it was what came to mind and viola! Piebrothersmomma (aka PBM) was born. A while ago I decided to put actual pie on my avatar, just for fun.

Pete is my name. My avatar is from Kid C, who was 3 or 4 at the time. I had washed a bunch of potatoes for baking and piled them on a plate, while talking to a friend who was visiting. Kid C had been playing around us, but disappeared. He had gone into the living room, assembled Mr. Potato Head and placed him on top of the potatoes without being noticed. I went to put them in the oven and saw his creation and broke up laughing.

Whackbar--because I'm often told I'm crazy, in the extreme weirdo kind of way (you know, mostly harmless)
Wop--because I'm Italian.

When you got the polish curse of a last name and enjoy movies about bowling and white russians you end up with a name like this.
The Big Lebowski: What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski?
The Dude: Dude.
The Big Lebowski: Huh?
The Dude: Uhh... I don't know sir.
The Big Lebowski: Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? Isn't that what makes a man?
The Dude: Hmmm... Sure, that and a pair of testicles.
