My username was an extra in Star Wars. It was also a code word during WWII, meaning that there was a kegger behind the latrines. During a previous lifetime, my username was a used conch shell salesman in the South Sea. My username once gave Wayne Newton an enormous erection. My username can be found in the Egyptian Book of the Dead when giving directions for embalming using Gatorade. Gatorade not yet being invented, it was a rather obscure passage. My username was also used 254 times in the original draft of the US Constitution. It is rumoured that it was during the Nixon scandel, the leak was originally known as “lolagranola”, rather than Deep Throat. Incidently, my username was also once a German porn star.

My username is in homage to the animal that bit me.

I have become a screech-owl, as those who survive a werewolf’s bite are doomed to become one.  
Of course, a screech-owl’s bite is a little less painful.  
And I can’t perch on really high tree branches or I get a nose, er, beakbleed.  
But being able to look over my own back is really fun.

(Actually, I was bitten by a screech-owl. Not fun. ☹ )

I’m not a man, nor (I am told) am I particularly cranky.

Maybe I’ll change my username to “HoHum”

I started using the name flodnak when I first found BITnet Relay back in 1987. BITnet Relay was kind of like irc would be if the Internet was made up of TRS80s hooked together by Dixie cups and string. Anyway, the word was “invented”, or discovered may be a better word, by my father. He now has it as his e-mail address.

The fact that the name is used by my father and I is a clue to its origin and “meaning”.

Perhaps I should have been more specific. It incites nubile virgins into sweaty dancing when _I_ say it.

Or maybe no one you work with is a virgin. I suggest taking a poll.
