I play runescape too.

My screen name came about as a joke really. We let a divorsed mother with 3 kids live with us for a spell. They were running out of options and we couldn't let them live out of their car. Anyways, the kids were allowed to use my computer and the oldest kids screen name was crazy weazle.

One day while I was at work I signed onto a IM service and saw he was online. I thought I would mess with him a bit a found a SN that was similar to his: crazy weazle/loopy ferret.

I IM'd him and taunted him for the whole day not letting him know who I was but giving him personal details about himself. I really had him going but had to give myself up when I saw it was becoming less funny to him. I am soooo mean.

Some interesting stories there. Here's mine.

Great stories. I particulary like loopy ferret7's.

I knew it! I've read that very same series. It's awesome. That is exactly the source I suspected that you got your NIC from. Mine is not so imaginative. Simply condensed a family name...kind of yawnful, I guess.

My screen name is the botanical name of a very pretty flower - a smaller member of the Carnation family - which has a very sweet scent :). We call them Pinks in the UK because most of the old varieties are pink - though they also come in white and nowadays there are many cultivated varieties in other colours too.

My nickname is just... my first name.
I'm not a great regular of forums and I didn't though to sign differently than for a letter.
(ps: in French, with a u, it's a female name. With a w, it's English and a male name)

When I got my first computer and signed up for yahoo mail I couldn't think of anything clever so I came up with cbpeanut49. c is for Chrystal, a siamese cat I had. B is for Buster my husband's Miniature Pinscher dog. Peanut is for my Min Pin, that was unfortunately lost in a fire about 4 years ago. 49 is the year I was born. I've used it or some version of it ever since.
