Hmmmm, there are a few reasons why I picked my name.
(1) Any word longer than 5 letters is hard for this Missouri boy
spell/pronounce/remember.
(2) My Grandpa used to say tater instead of potato. NOTE:
mater = tomato, also. (No, really, look it up...it's right there
in the hillbilly dictionary)
(3) A guy on a really funny comedy CD I have uses it as an alias
(he actually used "tater salad" --- I shortened it (see #1
above)
(4) BCHBNS was already taken

Hmmmm....
Made up this nic long ago on a voice/chat program called mplayer and 4anything.com. Everyone had unique nics and I at first would use Darmar (my dungeons & dragons daze), but around 98, change it to:
Darby: Came from the Walt Disney classic "Darby O'Gill and the Little People".... my fav classic! Darby was the old man who outsmarted the leprechaun... lol
Ohara: Came from the Bruce Lee movie "Enter the Dragon"... Ohara was the mean bad guy with the scar on his face, who killed Bruce Lee's sister. Not a fan of his, but liked the name.... lol
dat's it!

How 'bout you, bknarw? Where does that come from?
My mother is full blooded Shawnee. Her actual name is Mountain Laurel. They had a really hard time when they were kids and don't talk a lot about the old days, so the Indian Lore has always been at a bit of a shortfall. I kept after her for years to give me an Indian name, so finally, as a joke, she called me "Broken Arrow".
Wow, Bknarw, that's actually a pretty cool story...
Well I was named after my father's identical twin (James). His son was named after my dad (David).
Sometime during college, everyone started calling me Jimmy and I have no idea why it started. One of those things that kinda just took on a life of its own.
Now it's pretty much stuck so I use it here.
Hey Andwhat--you know, I still have no idea why you post using that? And did you ever hear Golden's reason??? What a tool!!

Mine is my name. Nothing really exciting.
Mine comes from when I use to box. That was kinda the saying in our gym, after you knock someone down you'd look at them and say "and what bitch" as in you got anything else to say, didn't think so. Kinda hokie but good memories.
Jimmy, who's golden and what's they're reason? I really want to know Daniel's reason. I have no clue on that one.

I actually got asked this a lot at the party. "Vrai" means "true" in French (don't start with me, Christy!). Blonde is the color of my hair. So I am "true blonde".

Sea: I love all things related to the ocean, fish, coral reefs, the beach, you name it! (Cariblue, I am SO with you on the fabulousness of the Florida Keys!)
Squirt: I'm only 5'1" (but still taller than my mother).
Seasquirt: One of a group of animals called "tunicates"; they are sessile marine animals. They're pretty unique because in their larval stage they have a "notochord", which is the beginning of a backbone. This disappears when they attach themselves to the reef or the ocean floor and begin their adult lives, but they are still classified as verterbrates. (Not saying that I'm spineless!)
