That's pretty much it. I used "racketboy" as screennames as "racket" was taken in most places. And if "racketboy" was taken, I used "racketboynick"
The "boy" was just added cause I couldn't think of anything better to add, really.
When you sign up for a new site/email address/etc and find that "racketboy" is already taken, do you ever wonder who is using it and why did they choose that username?
I find myself wondering sometimes when my username taken. In the beginning, I used to use my unix username which has been the same for about 25 years but when the internet started getting a lot more usage in the early 90s, I switched to my current username which is fairly unique for the most part.
Yeah, it's not very often, but it does happen -- some of them are tennis people
BTW, maybe we should have people submit stories and vote for the best
Ha. You think Racketboy is hard to explain. My GF was looking over my shoulder the other day and recoiled in disgust, "why is that person's name 'Scrotumwound?'"

After catching up on Yahtzee last night, I think someone needs to name themselves CatTitBingo.

2010 post of the year instant candidate! that's what i called "HIS"story.
All this time I thought it was because he was the son of the late great Don Martino who was gunned down while Nick was a child. Due to Nick being Don Martino's only child, he gained the name "Racketboy" by taking over the various crime rings at the mere age of 8.
This name is just some random shit that I made up because I didn't really have a username and at one point i planned to create another account before I was decently known but that never happened so now im stuck with this lousy username.
So please just call me Ryan.
I also vote for the first 2010 post of the year candidate
