I've always been curious about how people choose their own nicknames,
passwords, etc...
Since I'm not going to ask you about your passwords (but if you insist on
telling me please PM it to me
), how did you choose your nickname?
Mine came about back in the mists of time when I was still drinking.
Grolsch is a Dutch beer which comes in a really neat bottle with a kind
of flip top lid.
See it here:
Excellence in brewing since 1615......
Basically, I was trying to enter a nickname, and it kept coming up
"already taken" or whatever. Monkeyboy was one choice, as when I
used to run warehouses in my youth I was known for my fearlessness
when it came to climbing up racking (hey, I was drinking back then).
Cap'n Crunch was another. I got that one playing football. Named Captain
of the football team my senior year. I was a running back, and three
opposing players were carried off the field on stretchers that year
while trying to tackle me (again, I was drinking/using at the time, I'm not
proud of what happened).
So I chose Grolsch, thinking in my naivete that few others would know
what it is.
Your story?
