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.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

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

It popped into my head when I registered for a forum back in late 2006.  I can't explain it.

For change, I miss the cat through but I didn't save the link to it. I'll probably change it again.
