|  What is the story behind your nickname?
Just wondering if anybody has some good stories about how they got their nicknames (used for techimo).
Here's the story of my nickname "Droppyale".
I was born with a defect... curved feet, when i was a little kid i used to walk with my 2 feet curved in... so everybody started calling me "Droopy" like the cartoon... this was when i lived in Venezuela.
Anyways, to make a story short... back in 95 when i first came here, i was clueless about internet and e-mail.... so my friends back in my country decided to make up an e-mail account for me, so they did! and guess what they came up with?
"droppyale"
Droppy = cartoon "Droopy"... They misspelled it 
Ale = Alexander (my name)
been using it ever since....  |

Hey, cool idea for a thread.
My wife and I are birders and I've always enjoyed ospreys in particular. I believe they're found on every continent (maybe not Antarctica). | |

Yep, cool idea.. that's why it's been done before.  Why not just add to the other one: Explain Your Handle
Edit: LOL! Looks like there's already two previous ones.  | |

Ok, EndobioticChaos, so should we ban all the posts that ask what your favorite version of Windows is? Or you download speed? | |

6 years ago I liked Limp Bizkit, i was trying to make a name to use for www.zone.com, but all of them I came up with were takin. At that time I was listening to a limp bizkit CD, so I said why not, i'll be the Bizkitkid, since they already have the Bizkitdog(aka, Bizkit, there dog  )
I have used it ever since, the only thing that has changed is the number on the back of the name.(I would forgot my passwords )
But of course we all know limp bizkit sucks now, but i just can't get rid of a name i've had for six years that many people know. Wherever you see the name bizkitkid thats me, i've only found one other guy with the same name and that was on the zone, but I don't go to the zone anymore. | |

Hockey is my favorite sport and the Hartford Wolf*Pack is the hometown team.
They are also the AHL affiliate of the New York Rangers ( who suck, but are still my favorite) | |
