I think it's cute! I've seen some clever license plates on Minis. We'll probably buy one as our next car- they're too cute! And hubby'll let me pick the color (which of course will be Purple Haze) and we can customize it and all kinds of fun! Or we may buy a used one and get no choice.

My name? I used to sign in with scubagrrl (hubby and I scuba dive and the grrl is usage among the lesbians) but I got a little bored and it didn't seem to fit this board. So now I'm alphabassettgrrl. I am the alpha (leader) in the house, we are most definitely bassett hound people, and the grrl remains. Yes, I know, technically not correct since I'm 35 now, but hey.

O.K., here is the geeky origin of my peculiar screen moniker.

When I purchased my first computer in 1998 it seemed only natural to buy a ton of games to go with it. One of these was Everquest. I really had no idea that the game was a MMORPG or even that such games existed, so I was suprised to find I had to go online to play it. Being totally 'new' to the internet in general this was a fairly daunting prospect. I HAD to have a cool name and it had to be obscure I decided. But what? So I racked my brains for a whole 5 minutes and decided I would paste two names of some beloved fantasy literature characters together..and viola! Dwoern(pronounced dworn) was born!(he was a wizard too btw Chernabog )

It occurs to me that it might be interesting to see if anyone can guess them. Probably not, but I'll leave it a mystery for now if anyone cares to guess. If not, no big. I'll tell later.

Fast forward 2 years. Dwoern is a pretty prominent and powerful character in certain circles on my server(read I played way too much and had no life) and I had decided it was, indeed, a cool and obscure name. So when I found MP while researching a DLR trip that year I decided to use the name there as well. But it wasn't disney enough. So another painful 5 minutes of brain racking and I decided to paste part of a disney character name on as well. But what? Dwoernerella..no, interesting but too gender-bending. Dwoerncharming? No.. too misleading. Dwoernocchio! Now we're cooking! But not quite it. After a long list of fanta-disney names I settled on DwoernAdale. Why, besides being one of the few who like the Robin Hood movie, I don't know. I think I had some burning desire to post something at the time and just went with one. Kinda anti climactic I suppose.

So there is the overly long and boring tale of my screen name.

Heres a for those who nodded off.
