dang! I wanted my explaination to be as long as Fuzzy Logic's

Too late, Joe.... only Fuzzy can get as long winded and as convoluted...
Noone else has the ability to eat as much chocolate...
So don't even try...

My last name is Zieman, so... z-man get it... then 20 because well.... all of my names end in 20 at hotmail, yahoo, yourmom.com, all internet sites that i am on have a 20 on the end for continuity....

Old Crab. Any questions? > > >

wow! so theres something behind your nick!

Is that short for 'Old Crabby' by any chance...

mrbiotech = Ph.D. student in Biotechnology working third shift as a Oligonucleotide purification/quantification tech at MWG Biotech, Inc., but HEY? What's life without a little art?

Fuzzy Logic, cool info!

the name is actually a very long story, and i'm not a speed typist like Fuzzy L, and i'm a bit hung over...

the name is actually a very long story, i'm not a speed typist like Fuzzy L, and even if i were i'm too hung over to type...

Either you are really hungover, or I am seeing double.......

i'm hungover, and haven't mastered the paging eccenticities i'm seeing today. for a minute i thought i was banished! Ouch! it hurts when i laff

Sigh, this nick business caught me out...so without thinking it through I strung my surnames first letter onto the end of my first name...

I would've liked to have been "squall" or sum'it along those lines - seeing as Storm is my second name - but hey, it wasn't to be...

Maybe one day I'll be sufficiently awake to get it right...

MarkL, you know that you can change your nickname here, just go to the main page, click on Edit Account and it's under Optional Settings.

I got my nick becuase I gave peace a chance...... *Groan*

Ditto on that *Groan*....

I've been 'Wombat', 'The Wombat' or 'The Kombat Wombat' forever.
As pointed out in a previous post, a Wombat is a chunky (not chubby Jafo!) burrowing Australia marsupial, primarily nocturnal.
And a tough little tacker at that, most road deaths in rural Australia are the result of a car hitting a Wombat and being launched into the surrounding bush, usually killing all occupants.
The Wombat is built in such a way that any vehicle striking a highway strolling Wombat is launched off a small but steep ramp, rather like Evil Knevil was won't to do.
Being a tough little 'Bat, the effect is too annoy him to the extent that Semi Trailer rigs find themselves deep in used food if and when one attempts to biff the Wombat.
The resulting light and sound show can be rather spectacular and a brief diversion for an artistic Wombat.
A Wombat is well known for one character flaw(or is that culinary flaw?).
The male of the species eats, roots, shoots and leaves ......
And that,dear readers, is how this particular grunt became known as 'The Wombat'.

'wont', not 'won't'....

43 years ago (whew) I was given that name (slinky) by my sister. Must have gracefully tumbled down the stairs or something.

JamMeister33 - I took the advice, so now it's no more MarkL, but squall - or as it's rendered here: 5qu4ll - seeing as squall was already taken.

As I said before, my second name is Storm - so in keeping with the tradition, my nick is 5q4ull.

I fink I'm happy now.

..easy to please, easy to please...

Okay, now that you know how easy it is.... if you really want Squall, try tacking a number onto the
end of it, just like I did!
You wouldn't believe how many JamMeisters, and JimJammers, and whatever else I wanted are out there
already, but a simple number on the end gets you what you want!

30 hours have passed, my hangover turned out to be only a near-death experience, and i can see the keyboard. Apologies for the confused earlier postings.

tritto on that *groan* for Hippy!

the full derivation of Bangkokboy is still too long to relate, even sober.

mine is from the name of a progressive rock band i created for a story i was writing...
