I'm curious about what inspired you to choose your username?
:)
-
I think I told this before. (Maybe it was the Noid?).
A long time ago (or was it another life?) I had to sell the stuff from my job and registered in a local Ebay-like site. I got attached to the name I guess.
Es (x) todo para vender. Meaning: It's all for sale.
Not very romantic, is it? ;D
How about yours, mishca?
-
For some reason I always thought your username had something to do with science or chemistry. :)
I wasn't feeling really creative and I've always liked the name mishca and i added 09 because mishca was already taken and it was the year I got an invite to noid. Sorry if anyone thought mishca was my real name. :D

It was a lab I dismantled! So I did talk about this before. :)

Way back I used to be smokeyb but cz85b once casually called me smokester in a thread, and I liked it so much, I bought the company.

My real life nickname has been dweezil since summer of 1990 at church camp. One guy brought his own Pop-Tarts for breakfast and they had "Far Side"-like comics on the back (the one below). As my real name is Doug, it stuck. Over time, dweezil has naturally been shortened to dweez. I still respond to either.

I wish mine was more exciting than your's.
As you know (especially today on tinternet) names are normally hard to come by.
So i chose my Rugby club colours and my positional number (I played most of my career at number 2 HOOKER, but ruined my shoulder so i had to change position or quit :o).
Hence GOLDSHIRT9 (the * was a typo and could be bothered to ask / change it ;D)

Copy/ paste from TDD...
~40 years of bricklaying. A brickbat is a piece or fragment of a standard building brick, a half brick. That username was taken.

A brickbat is a piece or fragment of a standard building brick, a half brick.
And the dictionary have also other meanings that add some spice to your name:
brick·bat
n.
1. A piece, especially of brick, used as a weapon or missile.
2. An unfavorable remark; a criticism.
I wish mine was more exciting than your's.
Something that has to do with the colors of your club is always exciting, imo.

Dont really think mine needs an explanation and I have never changed it since 1999. If there is a way around full price I will find it. For instance, posting decorating questions on forum that has NOTHING to do with decorating! Just hired the painter, by the way, $100 for 2 days. Estimates from established companies were between $550-$700!! This guy is out of work, no transport, but MAN does he know his stuff. I have to supply paint and tools but ultimately its 60% off retail so Im happy. And "yes" Ive seen his work. Thats how I found out about him. lol
-
That Is really cheap. What color option did you end up choosing ?
-
It popped into my head when I registered for a forum back in late 2006. I can't explain it.
-
Hey mishca why did you change avatar and pictures?
-
For change, I miss the cat through but I didn't save the link to it. I'll probably change it again.
-
The lady in your sig is scary. Also, could be a he...

Rupaul is fabulous and one of the fiercest drag queens ever known to man.
-
Looks like Wendy Williams.
-
Ha! Wendy williams wishes.

You're so silly.
Um I'm autumn because of my mom's old storytelling. I was the kiss to or of autumn. Fall personified. (Because of my halloween birthday)

I thought Alphonse Daudet and Tartarin of Tarascon inspired you

I know the book but not until fairly recently. How do you know the book? :)
I have an old black & white postcard on the wall behind my computer that inspired me. The postcard looks old--maybe from around the 1930's.
-
Kinda just thought it up. Maudibe said it suited me at the time, but I don't know what made me think of it.

Tartarin is a funny character, we read the book in elementary school and because I liked it, it is still in my mind. I will probably have to read it again but I am afraid it will not have the same taste

this suddenly appeared on my twitter account ref your photo
Virginia Oldoini, Countess of Castiglione (1837 – 1899), was a beautiful 19th-century Italian aristocrat & courtesan.
-
Yes. A friend mailed me a postcard of the photograph from the Museum of Modern Art long ago and I always found it intriguing. There's a host of interesting costume photos of Oldoni. Wikimedia commons has a smorgasbord of them. She was photogenic and apparently not without a sense of humor.
