    How did you come by your username?

    Mine was a lame play on words based on trying to find an unused email name a long time ago.

    I love cats and so Punk and Cat, as well as the fact that I was born on Halloween so Pumpkin Cat. It was thus shortened into punkncat. Its worked out rather well in that no forum or email account I have ever signed up for had it already taken.

    How about you?

          My name is Jeff Fox. I went to high school when Jeff Foxworthy was popular. So one thing led to another and it kinda stuck.

            Got mine from my older brother. Well back in my high school days I dated the drama queen psyhcotic "village bicycle" named Molly. Well my older bro hated her and called her a swamp donkey on night when he was baked and he made some comment about calling me the swamp donkey king or something like that. He probably shorten it cause he couldn't remember what he said before or my real name at the time.

                      I registered on the specops forums just to ask a few questions about the A-5. Well I did. Then half a year later I began posting again and now I have like 3k posts over there. I've abandoned the specops forums now, and I blame them for my rediculous username. I remember trying to think of something, and I had a few things in mind (hittmann ), but I thought, I'll create a second account with a cooler name after I just ask these couple of questions.

                      And now I'm "Questionful". DOH!

                        Some guy at church YEARS ago couldn't remember my name, so he yelled out "Hey Lenny!" and I looked around trying to figure out who Lenny was. Since I responded, it stuck. Everyone at the church calls me Lenny. And I kind of like it. It's not a nickname you hear often.

                        BTW, awesome thread.

                          My friends and I used to hit the Gym all the time. I was a swimmer in high school and college, and during the season, it was tough to keep muscle mass on, so our objective, all season, since we were sprinters was to Stay Huge, so I made it my AIM name, and Ebay name, and figured I would keep it.

                            My last name is Power and my first name starts with a B...drunken frat brothers would scream "hey B-POW" over the music at the bars...it just kind of stuck. To this day it's the only nickname I was given that I don't hate.
