Mine is a combination of parts of the usernames my wife and I used on the Match.com chat site when we met.

massphatness is just a little play on words. I live in MA, and I'm no ones idea of skinny. Using phat instead of fat appealled to my silly side plus gave me the illusion of phenomenal coolness. So instead of GreatBigFatGuy, I'm massphatness.

Like MCS with "silly", I am all atwitter that you have used the word "paradigm" subsequent to quoting me. I think that must be what they mean when they say "poetic justice". Or maybe not.

My team is called the Lasers, Andy...and I totally understand why you thought that, but since I am almost as old as Chelios, my pro-hockey dreams are over.

You play for more than one team though, don't you? Since you play almost year round?

Avatar: This was the closest thing I could make to resemble folding. Username: Back in 1984, I used LOUIS (logical online user inquiry system) on a Honeywell mainframe. nozero was the command used to avoid getting records with zeros or sample/dummy entries. It saved me countless hours of work, not having to clean them out manually...

nozero.org is my domain.

Excellent thread concept!

Wow! That's one suhwheat ride!

The Lasers play year round, Andy, there is a Fall league from September through March, and a Summer league that goes April to August...I also play for a team called the Five Holers, and am on the roster for a team called Ice Pack, though I only play when they have manpower needs.
