As im bored on a saturday night and people do keep asking me why are you called beersoft? and i stumbled over this thread here
i thought it would be nice to tell the stories about our nicknames my nick was thought up way back in '92 when I was doing a city and guilds in computer programming and wanted to put a name at the top of my latest creation, so during a pub lunch the idea struck beer + software = beersoft. it sounded a little stupid but so did microsoft. It kind of stuck as an online identity through the BBS days then CIX and now the internet (and no laughing at the back, my hostname at demon has been around since '94). thats my story, im sticking to it now tell the world yours......

I've always had a range of nicks most of which I didn't really like but could never figure out anything better.
I spose spacemonkey would mostly be from the movie Fight Club where the brainwashed troops of project mayhem are referred to as spacemonkeys, but I'm quite happy with the sound of it, so I think it'll be my nick for many years to come. -------------------- Like a monkey ready to be shot off into space. Spacemonkey. Ready to sacrifice himself for the greater good.

I used to be 'Trouserpod' on many sites, but it simply made me sound like some sort of deviant.

Mine comes from the Viz Profan-asorus (dictionary of rude/funny words); my surname is Butcher and there's an entry in there of "Crafty Butcher: Someone who likes to slip their meat around the back" so it started as a joke with my mates. Got shortened to just crafty which i kinda liked...

'Takes their meat up the back passage' wasn't it?
The Profanisaurus is the only reason I still buy Viz. I love the Dirty Sanchez s*** mostache, and the even better Dirty Beppe s*** goatee.
