My wife's name is Cat. My name is Rick. That's been our email handle since we first signed up for AOL back circa 15 years ago. I use it pretty much everywhere

 

I'm TRANSPARENT, lol

I started my ebay account to look for Street Fighter toys, so I wanted something to do with the game. There were several variations on the fireball Ryu and Ken throw, I ended going with Hado_ken.

I've used that name for lots of things and over the years it's just been shortened to Hado, which I believe translates to "surge" in Japanese.

 

Heck I even tried to get it for a license plate, it and all variations were taken so I ended up using the uppercut instead: SHORYUKN!

My first name was Devilish Esquire... as an ode to my favorite superhero Daredevil... and I'm a lawyer. I just think it got lost in translation and went over many people's heads.

 

So I went with one of my favorite literary characters - the main character from Clive Barker's The Thief of Always! (thumbs u

Hey man, nothing wrong with a short ode. It's not the length, it's what you do with it that counts (I hope).

I used to use "Ghost" for "you never see me or notice me but I am always there". However, on most forums Ghost whas already gone so I switched to 999ghosts. Now, lets see who knows where the 999ghosts comes from (the person who guesses it will win a free air hugh)

 

Other names I use(d)

Ghosts

999ghosts

TheDarkOne

HeroesVillains

I had a subscription from '79 - '88 or so, but dumped them all years ago, so I'm not 100% sure...
