Where, oh where did that handle come from?
Published on August 7, 2006 By KiloKrash In Community
Recently, I was called upon to set up my aunt’s new PC. She’s pretty out of it when it comes to anything technical, so you can imagine the pain I felt. Anyway, I was explaining to her that she will need to create an e-mail account, and that the name she chooses, will need to be something unique and creative. This, however, turned into a spectacle all of its own. Finally, I provided an example of a name…mine. This was the best idea I could have come up with in months. I mean, I nearly fell to my knees in hysteria when I heard what she said about my handle.



"KiloKrash, what the hell kinda name is that! You better not be doing any cocaine! You think I’m stupid, but I know these code words you kids use. Kilo means a kilo of coke, Krash means you’re crashing because you overdosed. How could you give me that name as an example, you should be ashamed."



After I collected myself, I explained to her that KiloKrash could be linked to many things. I however, used ‘Kilobyte’ and ‘PC Crash’ to create my handle...no NOT cocaine. Let’s see, add the crash, subtract the byte, replace the C with a K and Voila!



Now to my point of this post…How is it you came about choosing your handle? Is there an interesting story behind it? Please speak, share with the community your reasoning for your decision.



Cheers,



KK

cyberworld is this really necessary?

He is practicing for a doctorial thesis I think. Although I think that he may have used a little Fuzzy Logic in it

Drej16 -- Drej is the primary antagonistic alien race in the movie(animation) Titan AE. The number 16, well some things are really best left unsaid. And no it has nothing to do with the movie.
