Most everyone has pretty cool usernames on the sift, so I'd like to know the history of them. I think we all get where MarineGunrock and Constitutional_Patriot come from. But, what about Choggie? Or RottenSeed?

I'll be the first to go, because I started this ST post, but I have to warn you my story is boring. Blankfist was my first handle when I started dawdling around on the interwebs back in '99. I had one of those WebTV systems, but that has nothing to do with the etymology of my username. No, I just wanted everyone to know how ghetto my internet access was while I was in college. What was up with those things? Jesus! It was like internet for redneck retards. But, I digress.

In a chat room somewhere on TalkCity, someone asked me what the name blankfist meant. I thought this was super inappropriate at the time, because we were having some hot word-on-word cybersex chat at the moment. But, after I dumped a bag of ice down my shorts, I shrugged it off and told him the name meant "A fighter without anger" as in a fighter (being the fist) that was empty (blank). [cough] As in blank [ahem] fist.

He promptly gave me a series of "ROFLMAO @ NERD" and "LOL DORK", but pixielover146 being an insensitve cyber-partner isn't important right now. I lied to him, because the truth is I just pulled that silly name from thin air. But, I've got to tell you, it's stuck with me ever since, and I love the handle. So, there you have it. Who's next?
