I’m interested in seeing the teeming millions thought process for choosing a username for these boards. my story is last year, a friend and i were in english class amusing ourselves by making childish sounds (we were bored). previously in cultures we learned about anne frank and one of our sounds went “Miep” as in miep gies. and mean went in “merp” so i became merper
and i like the number 32
I was walking down the street when something caught my eye… and dragged it 15 feet.–Emo Phillips
Someone said to me, “Make yourself a sandwich.” Well, if I could make myself a sandwich, I wouldn’t make myself a sandwich. I’d make myself a horny 18-year-old billionaire.
hey! i used the search engine and i got nothing from it, so i figgered that nobody asked before. curses, foiled again!

Well, I’ve answered this before, but I never pass up a chance to talk about myself.
My last name is pronounced “seal”, but a lot of people pronounce the silent “E” (I call those people “schmucks”).
My friends started calling me SealE to bug me, then it morphed into SealE mon (silly man, see?)
For some reason, I couldn’t just register “Sealemon” here, so I added 88 because that’s when I escaped the hell called high school (not that I’m bitter, or anything).
Wow. That story is even more exciting the second time, isn’t it?
Well, I didn’t post to the other threads, so here’s mine:
It’s a silly pun I came up with one night, and decided to use as a screen name. That’s all. No big story, no drama, no suspense, no full frontal nudity, just a silly pun. Good grief, I just described my whole life…
Modest? You bet I’m modest! I am the queen of modesty!
I’m sort of a newbie, and haven’t posted on the other threads.
I’d just finished reading Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon (the best book I’ve read in a long, long time, incidentally) and was thinking about cryptography (code making/breaking). A “keystream” is the sequence of digits used to configure your set of variables in order to encode or decode your message.
For example, you can use an arbitrary sequence, say, the first 500 characters in the day’s New York Times, as a keystream to properly configure a set of numbers (like shuffling a deck of cards in a certain way) in order to encrypt/decrypt a message.
Definition aside, I just liked the sound of the word.
Short and dull – I’ve always had cats, but never a purebred. And some cat people, rather than calling plain vanilla cats “alley cats” or “moggies” call them “randombred.” Hence “Catrandom”
