    I really really stink at coming up with things like that, so I was just wanting to come up with something half-way decent.

    No particular meaning, but I think it's pretty good.

    I wonder what something like Vr3MxStyler2k3 means...

    We've known each other for a LONG time and I've never figured this one out yet...

    A long time ago during the days of dialup, I couldn't come up with a screen name using letters of my first and last name. At the time, I was watching a bunch of Chow Yun-Fat flicks like The Killer, Hard Boiled, A Better Tomorrow...

    So I came up with something silly based on his name.

    I like AudioBliss am really bad at stuff like this.....I lack the creative gene.

    I originally had to come up with a screen name when I started playing Poker online. I used to work nights at a local public establishment.....ergo people refered to me as Midnight Mike. I tried to use this on the Poker site but it was already taken....along with Midnite Mike. I tried Midnite Mick and nobody had that name, therefore was able to use it. I came up with Midnite spelt that way because I also used to work security for a local concert promotion company called Nite Out Entertainment.

    In addition to being bad at coming up with names I had no experience in logging on to different networks in regards to computers. I did not realize that I would not have to sign in using my user name every time therefore I kept the same name across the board so as I would not forget them.

    There are a few now that I use a different name but most of them are this one.

    Holy crap that is a long post for such a simple question......aaaaah who cares right!

    I didn't think "a$$hole" would get past the censors, so being as I was using Kmart's free internet DIALUP service at the time, I picked "Bigbluelight".
    Some other creative genius had already grabbed that, so .... I tried "MrBigBlueLight".

    Gawd, that was an exciting story !! :eek:

    Bobman is self explanatory. The 1235 came up because when I originally tried to make the "bobman" name (way back when, in AOL days) it was obviously taken, so I looked around my room for numbers to use at the end... and saw a Bob Dylan tape with "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" And thus a screen name was born.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
