You are correct. I wiki'd it. I was under the impression Def Leppard had four members and, apparently, so was the person who originally told me the joke.

It's a diminutive of my last name. Like Pete for Petersen. My given name is Sophia, which I absolutely hate, and avoid using as much as possible. Lindy is also my Dad's nickname, (which leads to occasional confusion when I visit home) and I laid claim to Lindy early to keep one of my brothers from using it. It's been my nickname since I was a child. It's also pretty much gender neutral. I like it.

It's my email address, and the handle I've used for 98% of the website I've joined since 2000.

My first name starts with a D and so does my middle name. And if you dial the number "dyke" in your phone you will see the numbers 3953 (which is also part of one of my tattoos). So there you have it dd3953.

Think I've told this story before, but oh well.

Ktspktsp brought me back a beautiful abaya (a really nice, embroidered houserobe--NOT the abayas that women in Saudi Arabia wear from head to toe) from Lebanon, the first year that we were together... also the first of 2 years of our long-distance relationship. I lived in a basement apartment at the time and froze my ass off in the winter, so I wore the abaya almost all the time when I was at home, to keep warm and to feel a little bit closer to ktspktsp. I joined TFP during that winter, and was wearing it most of the time while posting.

Sometimes I wonder if people ever think that I'm a Muslim woman or something when they see my handle... to be honest, the thought never occurred to me at the time. I just loved my cozy abaya from my boyfriend. Anyway, it stuck.

When, like so many others, I stopped lurking on the titty board and starting posting in other parts of the forum, I used the handle Prince of Darkness, just cause I thought it was badass (which I am incredibly not) and a cool handle to have on what was essentially a porn forum. After the server died and was reborn, I tried to re-register Prince of Darkness, but for some reason, it wouldn't let me, so I nabbed the handle "Lucifer" instead, partly for it's connection to the first handle, but also cause it's a way cooler and way more badass handle.

My original system login ID back in 1988 (for work) was my first two initials plus the first two letters of my surname, which turned out to be:
JEDi.

I've always liked that, but find it difficult to register this handle without adding several numbers. So, Leto kind of spoke to me. I guess I'm a geek.

Honestly, I never thought I would get connected to this site so I used a name that I used when I was young, and thought it was cute to be called Jennaboo... then to make it even more stupid, I added the 4u. Real clever.

I should probably change it.

Ha! That's funny. I guess I thought it was called an abaya in other places, too (Iraq, Saudi, etc) but I could be wrong. That's just how American journalists tend to write about women's clothing in those countries, I noticed later on (wearing an abaya).

Anyway, yes, you were close... married to a Lebanese (and he doesn't have an abaya himself, actually!).

My standard reply: "ask the people who work with me."

Real story goes back several years ago, when my oldest son got interested in bowling, we used to put nicknames into the scorekeeper, rather than real names. My son was, and still is "Slimmy Hoffa." Craig was "Big Shirley" (an old sit-com reference). There was "Tdub", "Smoooooooth", "K-Mac", "Big Ern" (now "EAZEE"), and me, the "Grumpy Old Dude." Bowling scorekeepers display initials, so I was on the board as a bowling GOD.

These days, I'm a little bit mellower than I was, but I can still channel "Grumpy "when the situation calls for it!

I belong to a bunch of religion/spirituality/magic/occult boards, all under the handle Levite, which I picked for the simple reason that it's a factual description. I have lineage from the Tribe of Levi (with occasional exceptions, the only one of the 12 Tribes of Israel that still tracks its descent), which is the priestly tribe. I actually found the conversations on this forum first, specifically the philosophy board, so it seemed appropriate.

On other boards/sites, I go by/have gone by: Taliesin, Llassar (I have a thing for Welsh legendry), SwordBoy (one of my hobbies is broadsword fighting), JokerSmokerToker12, DistantShip (as in, the one on the horizon, "Comfortably Numb"), TongueThing (it's a gift), BigHairyJew, and HornyOlJew (both self-explanatory)....

How did you choose your online nickname?

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?
