First, a great big hello to everyone. I am wxorknot and you may see that username and think...what the hell is that? it? thing? And how in the hell do I even pronounce it. Was he high when he came up with that?
Thought perhaps we could lighten things up a bit today and have a bit of entertainment with our usernames. It is the weekend afterall.
At any rate, I took a gander around to see if a diary specific to usernames and their background had been posted in the past, or more importantly, something very recent. If it has been recently, I will yank it down.
I seem to recall seeing one in the past, however I couldn't find anything through the search function. Hmmm, my search skills might need some brushing up. Come to think of it, perhaps my memory recall needs some attention instead.
The item up for our entertainment today is... your username. Yesiree bob, where did that username, handle, nickname, what have you come from? Is that username something you grabbed out of the thin air to sign up here? Or, did you spend some quality time with your brain before making a final decision? Maybe it was a name being used on another blog or board and you just carried it with you to Daily Kos? Those of you who use your real name, you can play too. Everybody is invited!
Ok by golly, here we go. Let's do this. In the subject box, simply place your username.
Then below in the text area...
(1) How the name originated, background, and or definition of username.
(2) Pronunciation (if needed)
(3) Favorite/most interesting usernames on Daily Kos, past or present.
(4) Strangest or most confusing usernames.
(5) Any usernames you have thought of changing to.
My username wxorknot, in case you were wondering, begins with my fascination and interest I have in "weather." "WX" was first used years ago in telegraph as the abbreviated form for weather. It is still used today in and around meteorology, and the aviation community.
If you were to pronounce my username, it would be; "weather or not."
In hindsight, I would prefer WXorKnot. Can't change it now and in fact VeganMilitia had a diary a short time ago titled, DK4, ok thats fine; how about UserName 2. [http://www.dailykos.com/...]
Heh, May I offer you a Lithium Cola?
