As I scroll through the pages here on Mayhem, I come across some really funny and strange user names. Where do we get these from I wonder? I will start with a short story of how I got mine. I used to keep cold water fish, gold fish, fantails, koi etc. One day at the local pet shop my oldest son set his heart on a small ghost koi, we purchased the koi, and he or she got the name of spook. On that day, about 15 years ago, I set myself up with a hot mail account and decided to call myself spook@hotmail.com, after our new arrival of course. After 10 years of the same hot mail account, I had so much spam running through it Microsoft closed it down. This was the same week that spook had passed away. When I got around to opening a new account I decided on the name of spooksgone. It seemed to be a nice way to remember watching my eldest lad staring into that little poly bag with spook in, all the way from the pet shop to home, and seeing his little eyes light up as spook set about exploring his new home and friends.
Well that has brought back a few memories.
Any one else got a little story?
