Some of you guys have weird handles that I can't imagine are easy to remember, or spell, when you log in (right, Gus?).
Others create weird mental images (gungasnake I see as gunjasnake- a legless reptile who smokes too much weed)
Some seem obvious after a while (littlek is kris, smorgs is (won't give it away), dlowan is Deb (is lowan her surname?)
Others are just unfathomable (ticomaya, dontreadonme, panzade, sozobe to name but a few (slappydoohoo is just too appropriate but I'd like to hear the story anyway))
Come on fess up - what are the origins of your handle. If I'm impressed enough I might come clean too.
We just did that earlier this month:

Mine is self-explanatory, isn't it?
Gawd...we've explained this so many times Bruce
Growing up in Argentina I was given the nickname "panza de agua" (water belly) which translates to jelly belly
God damn!
http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=46806 is the place to go, I had no idea how to search for it and I'm a searching legend. Sorry Duck it makes no sense at all. Panz, what does jelly belly mean? To paraphrase Benny Hill 'It must be jelly because jam don't shake that much'?
Well, I knew the thread because I remembered my post in it, so I just searched for "totally stole" by smog. I cheated, in a way, but in another way, I rocked.
Double damn - an even earlier thread

This is more revealing than the personal photo thread.

My parents!
I have varicose veins which often cause me a great deal of throbbing pain.
And you guttersnipes thought it was something else. Shame shame shame.
No, what did you think we thought?
Mine is from my days on the yahoo!backgammon boards, I wanted big dice to win, and 67 is my year of birth
I thought it was something about fly blown cheese.
Sorry Subby, I was so mortified that this thread had been done twice before that I pulled my hinged head in.
