So. . .What made you choose your screen name?

So. . .What made you choose your screen name?

Since my wife is hispanic and often calls mi & my son Papi, I chose papidon, Don being my name.

Although, I am tempted to change it to something a bit cooler like some of the names you all have.

1. i hate spiders [yea yea, make fun of me ]


"HATE"? come on... don't you really mean you're "AFRAID" of spiders.
Its OK you can say that you're afraid and still be a cool guy.

I'll help ya by admitting my Fear...

I'm Afraid of Clowns...

Lemme tell ya...its hard trying to maintain coolness when you're a grown man and start crying like a 5 year old girl when a clown asks "what balloon animal would you like?", at a kids Birthday party.

I stand up for all the 5 year old girls out there and say...'what an insult....being compared to a grown man afraid of clowns'.....

Just kidding....

My nic is the same as the first website I ever built. After I finished it I had to come up with a name for it. So since it had to do with teaching people how to build a website with a WebTv and had all these "gizmos" and I was on the "web"...it didn't take much of a brain storm to come up with the nic.

mine came from the good old days when I sold Macromedia software on eBay (legally I might add)...so MACRO is from macromedia, and baye (or bay-e) is from ebay, only with the e at the end...hence macrobaye

When I was 15 yrs old some fellows decided to use me as their stakehorse at a few local pool halls...I have since lost 90% of my talent, but at one point I was a "hustler"...so Hus became a nickname for me online...and has been for many years now. Anyone wanna buy a one-of-a-kind Helmstetter?

I got my nick from God. One day he told me if I would start doing what came natural to me, I would be Naturally Awesome! I listen to God, as you can see lol...

I got mine from my parents, when I was a kid.
Every time they bought me a new toy, I'd go straight to my room and pull it to bits... I just had to know how things worked.
One particular birthday, (I think I was turning six) they bought me one of those battery-operated robots with the flashing lights, and cool noises etc, and by the same evening it was in bits all over the bedroom floor.
Upon entering my room and seeing their newly bought birthday gift in pieces, mum let out a world-weary sigh and said... "I certainly wish you would 'wreck less' and play with more of your toys!"

....strangely enough, I still have that affliction to this day....

Dabe is an easy to remember combo of my first and last names. Di is my real nickname, but it was already taken. Not very interesting or exciting, huh? But, I am looking for a new screen name.

My name came around after a long stint in various chatrooms under several different names... "TextManiac" "One-Eighty" "TD (Twin Dragon)"
Wanted to get a name and keep it! Was scratching around for days trying to think of one... Found it in the oddest place.... My old PC speakers... They where called Xaltec, can't remember the maker, but they wern't exactly top quality!
That was three years ago and I'm still quite comfortable with Xaltec or Xal or Xally or just plain X

No need to Fuzzy.... I've had many a chuckle at some of the posts you've made. I don't think you coulda chosen a more apt nick.
Nope... no fanboy stuff here, I just happen to like the way you think!
