- resurrect a thread so old that most people can't remember what they were doing that year (beside playing NS1)
Edit: may as well keep it alive
The year: Grade 9. The goal: Hotmail signup. I wanted my nick to be Mr[something cool] and, as everyone knows, cows are everything you could ask for in a creature, and then some. Funny, mysterious, aloof, pensive...cows were this and more, seemingly all at once.
So OF COURSE I thought, "Mrmoo! Oh God, that just flows so well off the tongue that young ladies around me cannot help but swoon as the mere utterance of these syllables makes sweet love to their earlobes! And hell, lower case looked better too so I'll do that because, hey, ladies like tha' lookin' amiright?"
And thus, with sly smile and eager eyes, I proudly, defiantly clicked the "Sign up" button for my first Hotmail account. Oh yeah, I was the shit now....
But then DISASTER!!!
"We're sorry but mrmoo has already been taken. Try adding a number..."
"NOoooooo!!" I crooned, to the astonishment of my fellow Keyboarding 9 students sitting next to me. My first plan ever to with a remote chance of getting me some action...foiled! by the cunning of one more cunning, more (dare I say it) suave than I...
Few have hit so low so soon, in life.
Weeeeeeeeeellll my lovely droogs, the milky clouds opened up and in a moment of supreme bovine intervention I did what any lovesick young man would do in this situation.
I rhymed.
And 'lo! There was mrmoo2002, and it was good.
