K&A - first letter of our names
Lew - short for Lewis (last name)
2010 - we were married earlier this year and for some reason I felt like adding a number :P
Not overly exciting, I know...
 
My handle BeShoo is a clipped form of one I've used elsewhere, which I didn't want to use here for reasons of anonymity (besides it was too long to type). I did NOT want to be called B.S. for reasons that should be obvious, and I hit upon this BeShoo thing which is closer to being unique and it sort of sounds like "bout de chou" (pronounced boo'dshoo in pseudo-English phonetic spelling) which is a French term of endearment for a lover or child, similar to English words like "darling" or "honey" etc. (I live in Quebec.)
 
Fun topic! Mine is my real first name. Makes it easy, no? ;)
 
Cool stories, everyone. Mine is a nickname a friend gave me waaaay back in 1988. I was in a band and we used to play a few U2 songs. Since my first name is huberto, my friend started calling me hub-two, pronounced "hugh-b two". Never really found out how it was supposed to be written until we started using email mid-90's!

I was speculating on whether it was "K. A. Lew" or "Kale W." I suppose I was closer with the first guess. ;D

Easy for you, because you know the answer. ;) You're the first person I've "met" with that name. It could have been the "New York Society of Security Analysts" or the "New York State Society of Anesthesiologists" or the "New York State Snowmobile Association" (which all actually exist and are all known as "NYSSA"). I figured there was a high probability that it might have to do with New York. I was wrong there!
 
Hahaha, wow! I never would have thought about reading it as "New York" something, but I see your point. "NYSSA" is used as a lot of society things, I know! And it's a kind of tree and a town in Oregon. :)

I was named after Doctor Who.
 
My name is a combination of an old nickname from high school, the state in which I'm from, and the year I finished grad school and got engaged :)
 
I was a heavy Fighter n the Middle Kingdom (SCA) and my name was Tallen Atear, and I have used Tallen on most things since. My Real name is Andrew and my wife I am Sponsering from Russia is Maria.
 
Mine was a nickname given to me in University. A friend created WWE wresting characters for everyone in our group and gave them names and signature moves etc..Mine was Locolynn and my signature move: the multitasker. The name kind of stuck and i use it as a handle lots.

OH You guys, thanks for posting... it is really interesting to hear why you picked your user names. Makes me feel better in this whole stupid process which is eating me alive, from the inside out.

Keep posting! :D
 
Bonbon...

Yeah, I'm a girl.
 
A joke... I apologize in advance because I'm not the best joke re-teller :P

One day this piece of string is having a really bad day. His dog ran away and he lost his job. A REALLY terrible day at any rate. He leaves his work with all of his belongings and dreads going home to an empty house without his dog and decides to stop into a bar.
He walks up to the bar and says, "line up the bar with shots of whiskey...I've had a bad day." The bartender turns around and begins to line the bar with shots for this poor guy. Then he hesitates. "Hey man, I'm sorry but we don't serve string here." He taps the sign above the bar that reads : We Do Not Serve String. As if his day couldn't GET any WORSE!! String leaves and starts walking toward his house. - WAIT! - He decides "What gives, I've had a terrible day...I deserve a drink at the very least!" He devises a plan: I'll just disguise myself. Content with this decision he frays the ends of him and walks back into the bar.
"Oh barkeep?" he says, "I'd like you to line the bar with shots of whiskey...I've had a bad day."
"No problem" says the bartender. He turns to the bar and begins to prepare the shots. "Heeey....wait a minute. Aren't you that same piece of string who was in here just moments ago ordering the same thing?!"
The string blushes, partly from embarrassment but also out of frustration. The bartender once again taps the sign: We Do Not Serve String.
String leaves again and this time he isn't depressed about being denied - he is ANGRY. Ok, I need a better disguise! He ties himself in a knot and enters the bar for the third time.
"I'd like you to line the bar with shots of whiskey" he asks, "I've had a bad day." The bartender doesn't look amused.
"Are you not that SAME piece of string who has been in here TWICE already trying to order the same thing?!!!!!"
String thinks for a minute...perhaps his disguise wasn't as clever as he thought. He responds calmly: "No, I'm afraid not."

Get it? :)
 
Frayed knot.. hahaha :P


Here's a silly joke, compliments of my father:

One day, a man was walking down the street when he saw a funeral procession. There were two caskets, and behind them was a man with a bulldog on a leash. After that, there were thousands of men following along.

The first man approaches the man with the dog and asks what's going on.

The man with the dog says "That first casket is my wife. One day she started running her mouth and this dog killed her. The second casket is my mother in law. After the dog killed my life, she started running her mouth so the dog killed her as well."

The first man said "I'll buy that dog from you for any amount of money!"

The man with the dog points at the crowd behind him and says "Get in the back of the line!!"

:P :P :P
 
HAHAHAHA....love it

Ok...I love puns...so here's one of my fav's,

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which
produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little,
which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.
This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

:P :P :P

It's a groaner I know.
