    Some awesome stuff here hehe.. I thought I'd add mine as some people find it interesting :blink:

    My mum called me her little Cookie Monster as a baby because I used to make the "nom nom nom" sound the Cookie Monster makes :) started using "Cookie" as a username when I joined her playing an MMO (she told me I had to.. lol)

    Has stuck with me since :) Some of my SO's family still call me 'Cooks' instead of my real name :p

    Well, I realised I am not creative at all.... Just added a dot.
    My secretary call me GG- for Guppy Guru ( Sarcasm if you ask me) BUT- I decided to rather use my name. I was scared the people might associate Guppy Guru, with Glam Guru, and that will make me slash my wrists.

    Thus len.weideman

    Is that a "Chokka boat"

    Where do you fish from?

    Whenever I am in PE we sit and watch the Chokka's at night through Binocs.

    My father inlaw is very fascinated with Chokka's. He would happily sit and watch you guys from the shore for the entire night. Actually, if he had the chance, he'd probably come spend a a week with you guys on the boat.

    My wife's grandfather has a big house in Blue Horizon Bay overlooking the sea. During a power failure there was no need for candles because the lights coming off the chokka's was more than enough to light up the rooms!

    Zeiphex is my gamer name, and name just about anywhere else on the internet - if you google it you'll come up with quite a lot XD It originated from when I was 16 or 17 and wanted a new online nickname, having outgrown my old one. My ex and I just brainstormed abstract words until we ended up with something that had what we thought was a cool ring to it :p

    Mine comes from my favourite weather phenonemon, STORMS and from aviaiton. Storms are basically clouds called Cumulonimbus and in aviaiton we refer to them as Cb's or when using the phonetic alphabet Charlie Bravo's and hence the name Charlieb.

    My user name I took from a very special pet bird that I was given because she'd had her leg broken as a baby when they were trying to put the ring on. Skye was a grey/blue split, hence her name, and I had her for 2 wonderful years until she suffered a stroke and I had to start hand feeding her again, until she had complications and I had to have her put down on the same day 1 year later that my dad passed away. My vet said that I had to be a saint to have gone through all the things that I did with Skye. She was my everything at that stage and putting her down nearly broke me, specially so soon after my dad.

    Sorry for the sad story....
