Spidey - from way back when I skateboarded every single day for 8-10 hours straight for years.

I could really rip up vert and walls. Folks just started calling me "spidey" because I could stick to a ramp or wall. So its a nickname I've had for 15+ years.

Oh the Man in the Moon is a cunning baboon, who mirrors his day in the night.
So a name like Moonbeam, what thing could it mean, but that which brings you delight.

Now the mirror of life is a double edged knife in which only a fool would dare look.
Well I wanted to see and a fool I must be, so Moonbeam's the name that I took.

I can't say the entire story... but the latter part of the story is that when registering, I just didn't care so I picked some dumbass name like DingyDingDongBongo and the mods told me it would trigger too many immature comments, so I picked another dumbass name, BingBongWongFooey ;)

This is the only place I use this name...

Your username constantly breaks up the forum layout for me because it's so long that it shifts your post to the right :). A minor issue, but still one to consider next time! :)

I got the name Deslok from an Unreal Tournament bot but had to use an alternate spelling because it was already taken. I believe there's a Desslok around here also ..

EDIT: typo

I write poetry.

My words are literary sketches of ideas.

I sketch, therefore I am a "Sketcher".

Hence, "Sketcher".

Afro cuz that's my hair, and is often substituted for my real name in many cases. Dude cuz I'm a guy. 000 cuz it the name needed lengthening.

Gotta get some pics of it before it's gone.

I have always liked the way "Weasel" sounds and combining a color (blue..my favorite) makes for a unique name.

It was between that or Green Beaver... :)
