Topic: The inspiration behind your user name?

[mishca09]

I'm curious about what inspired you to choose your username?

I think I told this before. (Maybe it was the Noid?).
A long time ago (or was it another life?) I had to sell the stuff from my job and registered in a local Ebay-like site. I got attached to the name I guess.
Es (x) todo para vender. Meaning: It's all for sale.
Not very romantic, is it? 

How about yours, mishca?

[mishca09]

For some reason I always thought your username had something to do with science or chemistry.

I wasn't feeling really creative and I've always liked the name mishca and i added 09 because mishca was already taken and it was the year I got an invite to noid. Sorry if anyone thought mishca was my real name.

It was a lab I dismantled! So I did talk about this before.

Way back I used to be smokeyb but cz85b once casually called me smokester in a thread, and I liked it so much, I bought the company.

[dweez]

My real life nickname has been dweezil since summer of 1990 at church camp.  One guy brought his own Pop-Tarts for breakfast and they had "Far Side"-like comics on the back (the one below).  As my real name is Doug, it stuck.  Over time, dweezil has naturally been shortened to dweez.  I still respond to either.

I wish mine was more exciting than your's.
As you know (especially today on tinternet) names are normally hard to come by.
So i chose my Rugby club colours and my positional number  (I played most of my career at number 2 HOOKER, but ruined my shoulder so i had to change position or quit  ).

Hence GOLDSHIRT9 (the * was a typo and could be bothered to ask / change it  )

[brickbatz]

Copy/ paste from TDD...
~40 years of bricklaying. A brickbat is a piece or fragment of a standard building brick, a half brick. That username was taken.

[xtopave]

A brickbat is a piece or fragment of a standard building brick, a half brick.

And the dictionary have also other meanings that add some spice to your name:

brick·bat
n.
1. A piece, especially of brick, used as a weapon or missile.
2. An unfavorable remark; a criticism.

I wish mine was more exciting than your's.

Something that has to do with the colors of your club is always exciting, imo.

Dont really think mine needs an explanation and I have never changed it since 1999. If there is a way around full price I will find it. For instance, posting decorating questions on forum that has NOTHING to do with decorating! Just hired the painter, by the way, $100 for 2 days. Estimates from established companies were between $550-$700!! This guy is out of work, no transport, but MAN does he know his stuff. I have to supply paint and tools but ultimately its 60% off retail so Im happy. And "yes" Ive seen his work. Thats how I found out about him. lol

[mishca09]

That Is really cheap. What color option did you end up choosing ?

[6pairsofshoes]

It popped into my head when I registered for a forum back in late 2006.  I can't explain it.

Hey mishca why did you change avatar and pictures?

[mishca09]

For change, I miss the cat through but I didn't save the link to it. I'll probably change it again.
