I chose this name for the pure irony of seeing 'Conquerer Fruitcake' should I ever attain such dizzy heights.

Fun Fact- In hebrew Samuel means God...


Actually, it means "The one who heard God."

I should know, considering that's my name too...

Anyway, many years ago, when trying to decide on an AIM username, I was stumped. At the moment I was going through a kind of fascination with ink and pens, and I was an angsty adolescent (yeah I admit it :P ), so I kind of combined the two rather poetically (and also being a completely different person then, I decided a random 0 in my name would be cool :roll: I say poetically because it was originally intended to mean "enclosed by ink").

The name is kind of embarrassing, but at the same time, I just can't seem to use something else. Plus, I like the idea of having an inescapable Internet name. You become a kind of pan-Web personality.

I've always had a thing for pens... I love a good, smooth writing utensil... the way the liquid just flows...

8-[

Anyway... I like the Uniball Vision and Gel Impact series. They would be perfect if they didn't bleed through 1 inch thick paper and if they made the gel pens a little more comfortable.

God, I'm such a nerd...

I'm totally in the same boat here. I have pen fetish, a great pen is worth its weight in gold. When they keep a consistent thickness of line and you hardly have to press it to the paper, oh my god its like heaven.

I was addicted to these bad boys for years http://www.officedepot.com/products/Liq ... um/222261/ , then all of a sudden I couldn't find em in stores so I got over them and went to pilot precises or G2's, but now that I just searched and found them online.... *pulls out credit card*

I don't feel so bad now. There's nothing quite like going into an office supply store and dropping twenty or thirty dollars on pens alone... I wish I had the money to do it now... alas.

Well, sort of. As Nr. Nate said, it’s a combination of the Hebrew for “God” and “Heard” but actually it’s “God heard.” His momma named him that because God heard her prayers to have a child after many years of being barren. It’s an interesting coincidence (?) :shock: that he was distinguished at an early age because he also heard God.

Pilot G2s are the best I've ever had, but then again I don't seem to be as obsessed with writing utensils as I should be :P

Anyway, once in middle school, I convinced everyone in my class that my middle name was Jecko and that in Australian it meant "Good will towards men" (you got it - I live in the USA). And as it's impossible to get a username without numbers on most sites, I added a 7 because that's what Yahoo mail suggested I do.

I simply saw got tonkaed's name. However, I personally didn't get tonkaed, so i had to change it to "gotn't tonkaed". Simple as that.

Mine is a long, weird story. As my profile says, I’m a Connecticut Yankee living in Puerto Rico. Now I don’t know how much the he is known outside PR and the latin american community, so forgive me if I tell you things you already know, but there’s a popular performer down here named “Daddy Yankee” The song that made him famous was “Me gusta la gas-o-li-na, da-me mas gas-o-li-na” (I like gasoline, give me more gasoline) I think it was in the “Fast and Furious” Soundtrack.

I work the graveyard shift right now, and am the only gringo (a mildly derogatory name for a non-Hispanic) most of the guys know. When I’d go to the soda machine for a coke because I was feeling particularly tired, as I passed people on the way back to my workplace, I’d hold up the can and go “me gusta la ca-fe-i-na, da-me mas ca-fe-i-na.” It usually got a laugh, which is a good idea when you are an outsider. When necessary, I’d preface it with the explanation: “Daddy Yankee sings: ‘me gusta la gasolina…etc.’, Daddy Gringo sings: ‘me gusta la cafeina…etc.’

The 1 was added because when I went to make my yahoo account, “daddygringo was taken and I forgot when signing up for cc that I could drop it.

In addition, I am a daddy to 3 awesome daughters, and have acted as a surrogate daddy to my 4 nieces and a nephew, and to various other youths who for one reason or another have ended up living with us.

Told you it was a long, weird story.

Had an ancestor who emigrated to US from Germany in 1752, HANS ADAM STIEFFEL. Was a boot maker whose name matched his trade, translated his name to English and came up with Boots (my surname). Family tree traced back to 1571 Otto Stiefel (one f) in Gschwend, Wuerttemburg. Thought it was pretty cool. Took the “ser” part from George RR Martin’s books. He uses Ser instead of Sir for knights.

Strike wolf- The strike was just a random thing I came up with because I didn't want to go with just wolf or gray wolf or anything like that. The wolf is for 2 reasons, 1 because they happen to be my favorite animal and 2 because I happened to be writing a research paper on the wolf's reintroduction into Wyoming and other states at the time.
