okay some are obvious, i've kept lotsa snakes, but most have been constrictors, love the way they "feel" (pause)...'scuse me, i think i need a cigarette...
i'm back, hence the handle "constrictorkeeper".
"chimpkin" probably has a few simians in his family("kin"folk of the "chimp"), so that makes sense.
but some of us were a little more vague in their selection.
share if you want to, 'specially if it's interesting.

That is hilarious! Actually I can tell you where chimpkin comes from. Back in college I had a unique vocabulary. I never called anyone by name. On any given day you could be called one of the following: Chachy, Chico, Chicolicious, chimpkin, hector, chimpster or scrot! And if something sucked it was scrotastic!

Chimpkin just ended up being the most popular.

Of course "BT" are my intials...

I would not say it is interesting but..... mine is a childhood nickname. It originated from my mom always bitching about my room and our basement. Her favorite saying was " it looks like a bomb went off in there". So my brothers/friends got to calling me shrapnel, then just shrap.

glad you have a sense of humor, or as the geicogecko says "humour".

BTW- that "scrot" (accent on the "o" is it?) one does sound foul. no expaination required.

she couldn't decide between "pick up this sh-t"
or... "pick up this crap"
so... it just came out: "pick up this shrap"

thanx for clearing that up.

Big Taters.
but we can go with what you said if you'd prefer.

1st name Last initial.

An annoying coworker of mine seems to think that she's THE princess. So I was on a princess kick for awhile... I was princess of everything- just to piss her off. Haha! So that ended up being my email address. Then my bp.net sn.... and then that's the name everybody knew me by so I just stick with it.

Random group of letters :D

except yours...

Mo comes from the 2 centered letters my first name: Simone
I got it 4 years ago from a friend of mine. I never had a acceptable nickname before so I was glad I got that one :D

I like it because it's short and catchy but you can read a lot into it. I really think it fits me well because I'm not a complicated person but my thinking is very deep sometimes.

Oh, and the dots are there just because there is this 3-letters minimum for a nickname ;)

It's on my license and I am way to lazy to think of anything original. :cool:

I'm into African house snakes, and their genus name Lamprophis literally translates as "shining snake."

First name...no never had an R in my name. My parents just had to compromise between Tana and Tammy. :D
