As soon as I got to LouConn Jimi wanted to know the meaning behind my screen name. I thought it would be fun to learn everyone elses. I'll start:

I was in a company class, supposed to be attending network training. The mistake they all made is letting us sit at PC's during the training. Besides my work PC, I also had my personal laptop hooked up. I was playing hearts on it, and one of the trainers saw me. He sent a network message over to me and asked how I was enjoying the training, Ms Queen of Hearts.  I picked QnHeart as an AOL screen name way back when. Somewhere I added the MM when I began using the screen name for work. Not too exciting but that's the story.

I know I've told this before - but some of you don't know how I became LeLimey!

When I first started chatting online I used "Limey". I have a really good friend from the US and I was always "the bloody limey" and she was always "the godamn yank"! (terms of endearment.. honest!!)

Anyway,  I’d gone on a day trip to France to shop when my kids were really little, Barney was only about six months old so Brid was about one and a half.. It was cold and dark and we are sitting in the car at the ferry port and the bloody frogs..er.. the french(!) wouldn’t let us onto the boat. They wouldn’t let us sit with our engines running to keep the car warm either so you can imagine how rotten it was.

This went on for a couple of hours and then it got "aromatic" in the car.

Not one but two dirty botties!

The car was full of shopping, I had two car seats and no where to change a kid without leaving a car door open which was not an option in that cold.

I got out of my car and went storming up to the jobsworth.. er.. official at the front..  and everyone else started winding down their windows to listen!

Basically I DEMANDED somewhere to change my kids and he saw this angry little woman and backed off! He said I could use his car so I went and got the kids and my changing bag and walked back to his car. Everyone else was clapping and shouting "way to go!" etc.

Anyway.. HIS bloody engine was running and HIS bloody car was nice and warm.. and that was when the red mist came down.

What happens next was his fault not mine okay?!!

Well.. you know how it is when you are cold and your fingers don’t move so well? (work with me on this one okay?!)

Well.. I must’ve dropped each of those shitty nappies (diapers) face down onto the floor of his car a couple of times.. butterfingers or what? I found it really hard to pick them up too and seemed to rub them around a bit.. because my hands were SOOOO cold obviously!

It seems in my haste to get back to MY car I forgot to pick up those nappies too.. they must’ve got shoved under a seat or something as I was scrabbling around...

I was VERY careful to make sure I turned the heating up to the highest setting and also turn the fans on full in case it cooled down as I got in and out of the car.. see?.. I can be thoughtful!!

Everyone else noticed that I wasn’t carrying dirty nappies as I went back to my car too judging by the beeping and raised thumbs and I like to think I raised everyone’s morale even if I did sweet sod all for the entente cordiale between France and the UK!!

Anyway, I told this story online and earned the moniker Le to add to my Limey and everyone started calling me Le Limey so I adopted it in honour of my patriotic duty in thwarting the mini Napoleons once more!

So there you have it and I sincerely hope you never find that on google or that odious little frenchman might come after me!!

Mine's even more boring...Joe in Italian is Guiseppi.....then someone pointed out I had spelled Guiseppi wrong.........so now I'm Guiseppi who can't even spell!!!

Joe

I didn't know how to spell Jimmy.

Just my name.    

I'd have used my secret totem name, but you know how it is.

Best,

George

Rock_Lobster was my name on various online games back in the day... Call of Duty, Battlefield 1942, Quake, UT, StarCraft, etc....

Today many of the games do not allow duplicate names... for example... there can be one 'Lobster' in the world.  So... my name outside of here now is usually 'Aragosta'... which is Italian for lobster, or 'omap' (russian), or 'langosta' (spanish).

So... in CoD:waw if Aragosta kicks your ass, or Aragosta_ in Battlefield 2142 or Battlefield 2... make sure you say hi.

Or 'Professor Chaos' in Guild Wars!    (coolest.  name.  ever.)

No funny story to tell here...

When joining my first message board years ago naturally I had to select a screen name. At the time I was heavily involved in auto racing and I live in NC so I blended the two and tried "RacerNC". Of course that screen name was taken so I just kept trying variations until I found one that wasn't spoken for.... "Racer1_NC". Being a creature of habit, I continued to use that name when I'd join other forums.

I've thought about changing it.......but I'd prolly forget the new one. Looks like I'm stuck with it.

I suppose I'm totally lacking in creativity, but I just use my real first name. It may not have any cool stories to go with it, but at least it's fairly easy for me to remember 

Marc

Great idea asking this question Christy.  Don't think anyone has ever done this before and I am really enjoying reading these.   Keep em coming folks.

Obviously I have nothing to explain about my screen name.
