I find it very interesting reading the on-line names of forum members. Some I would not even begin to try and pronounce. So I thought for the long weekend it might be interesting to discover the reasons members chose their names.

Meeting me, my name is self-explanatory. "Big", I'm 6'2" and about 300 lbs, "Mikey", my given name is Michael but I've always been Mike to friends and family. THEN that darn cereal commercial came along. "Give it to Mikey, he'll drink anything! Give it to Mikey, he'll wear anything! Give it to Mikey.....", anyway, you get the idea.

I think the biggest shock to me was when my 70+ year old dad started calling me "Mikey".

So there's my story, now, how about you?
