No great mystery-I didn't get my first computer until 2002, and the first game I played on it was Red Alert II. I needed a handle for regular and occasional online play, and Order99 sounded vaguely military...

That, and the fact that Agent86 was taken. Given my sad Gaming Skills it would have been a perfect fit...the actual Agent86 on the RA server swatted me like a fly in online combat BTW.

That, in addition to the fact that it's funny to watch/listen to people mispronounce "Christ" with a short "i" sound, as if to say "Crystal" without the "ull" sound. I assume most people do this simply to avoid saying "Christ", thinking that I might be offended at a mispronunciation of my surname.

Either way, Christ. It's simple. And it's never taken.
Ah, so then it's not Chris t. as I was figuring.

Nevyn is one of my all time favorite characters from a book series I love.

I go by dichotomous because I think it sounds cool, plus its like a discount you get two for one!

actually I think it goes back to am IM conversation once on an old handle (Frosty, since I used to snowboard whenever possible, sometimes when not possible too) and someone told me I was "certainly the dichotomous one" and then I made that my handle cause I liked it, the one got dropped at some point. now its my handle everywhere

Has nothing to do with religion... sorry for those who were thinking of some cynical response. I get them all the time though... like "Is your first name Jesus? (Latin pronunciation: hay zeus)

For some reason I thought I had posted here, but apparently I was wrong.

Almightybmw.....Kinda simple. It is religious, though I am not (religion /= faith). BMW because since 199...5?6? can't remember now. It's been a long time..Anyways. Since 199-something my dad has had a BMW motorcycle that had more cool features than the car we had. Seriously. The car was a turbo, but the K1100LT had a cat, ABS, a rockin' sweet stereo, electronically adjustable windshield, and a bunch of other cool stuff motorcycles shouldn't have. Plus it weighed less than a Goldwing

So yeah. I love BMW bikes. And I love God. (though sometimes it doesn't show)

Matt = my first name
Herring = my last name

Would have chosen a cooler handle but I took the Ecomodder registration form literally...and entered my full name. My nickname has been "Bone" since I can remember...hence the vehicle's being named Bone's Toyota and Bone's Scooter.

If I could do it all over again I'd probably go with Bone as my handle.
