[quote author=“hmbldtgrl”]why does everyone see “Hot Blonde Girl” in my username???? I keep hearing that…sooo odd!
I knew it was Humboldt girl right away. At my college it was a 50/50 battle between NorCal and SoCal so I knew it right away. |

My nickname is A-rob because on my High School baseball team, people started calling me A-rob and it has stuck. It is from the baseball player Alex Rodriguez, they call him A-rod. Since my name is Aaron Robinson, the call me A-rob. As simple as that. :D |

My name is Chris John, and some friends thought it was funny to call me my name in a french accent, so Cree Jean, transformed into Creejoh. Uh. Yeah…
My Avatar is a little artwork thing I made in Kinkos one night while making copy machine collages there with friends, bored at 3AM. I liked it, so I thought Id use it. |

My avatar and user name are pretty much self explanatory…. but there is a story.
Not sure the exact age, but the story my mom told me was that while watching cartoons one day, a ChillyWilly cartoon came on (part of the Woody Woodpecker show back in the late 60’s) and I started waddling back and forth like Chilly the penguin. From that day on, I loved penguins… from cartoon ones, to live ones at the zoo. Pretty much fascinated by them.
Back in my mid-20’s when I first got online, I needed to pick a user ID. ChillyWilly was one of the first names that popped up in my head, even though I was never called that by most ... only a select few I knew growing up knew of my love for penguins and ChillyWilly being the most popular/famous of them.
10 years ago, I decided to get a tattoo, but thought about what I wanted for 4 of those years, until I found the right pic of Chilly.
Today, everyone from my work mates to my fiance to my 13 yr old daughter calls me Chilly. I even have gotten mail and gifts addressed to Chilly.
Pretty much my story.

chillywilly is an awesome name, i used to watch that cartoon all the time, along with the rest of the woody woodpecker power hour (chilly willy/woody/ droopy)
I’m Chilly Willy the penguin
I shake until I’m blue
My head is hot and my feet are cold
Ha Hee Hachoo
Now what about the crocodiles
along the river Nile
I’ll bet they’re all as warm as toast
They always seem to smile
I’m always Chilly Willy
I’m frozen through and through
My nose is red and my tale is told
Ha Hee Hachoo! |

Thanks, Ant.
I actually have a WAV of that song. Got it from one of the Chilly Willy fan sites.
One of those sites used to have AVI files of episodes. I grabbed a few before the site ran out of space to post more.

If you don’t mind me asking, what the hell is that galloping green thing? I’ve seen it used for other avaters before out here, but never asked.

Hopefully I can change the icon to a mac mini soon. |

oh, you got me there. I think I was choosing a screenname for something and i wanted to have a number, and four is my lucky number, but most of the other 4 things were taken. so I decided on 404. |

my name came from James Iha of the Smashing Pumpkins (now in A Perfect Circle).
I liked billy and jimmy better than james, but none of them had a cool lastname like Mr. Iha. :D
I just like it b/c it’s short and easy to remember. It’s pronounced Ehu (say the letter E followed bough hu) lol |

Too lazy to type it out, so I copied it from an AIM log of a conversation with a friend..
nohsim: So, a long time ago.
nohsim: Wait…
nohsim: First I must tell you about my grandparents.
nohsim: My grandparents own a boarding care for schitzophrenic people.
nohsim: And one of the the guys they take care of said that he was abducted by aliens.
nohsim: And when he goes into outerspace, his code name is Mishon.
nohsim: Well, when I got my first computer.
nohsim: In the 7th grade, I couldn’t think of an screen name.
nohsim: So I tried Mishon, since I had heard that guy saying it was he’s codename.
nohsim: So I thought it would be mine.
nohsim: But it was already taken.
nohsim: Backwards…
nohsim: Nohsim.
nohsim: Viola.
nohsim: There.
nohsim: Oh, and then a few years later…
nohsim: I was on the bus, and I saw the bus system map.
nohsim: And it said NOHSIM.
nohsim: And I was like what the hell…
nohsim: Then I turned it around, and I realized it actually said WISHON.
And I currently don’t have an icon. My icon isn’t working anymore because it’s above 8k. When did that rule come about? |
