If you’re watching this bit o’ social humor web talk show, chances are you have an online name, or a handle. And I’m hoping you’ve signed up here with yours to share your two cents o’ social commentary on all the stuff we yap about over in these here woods. Have you ever come across someone else’s handle and wondered how the hell they came up with it? I certainly have. Some of them are extremely bizarre, some are plain funny, some are dumb…you get the point. It takes all walks of life to make this merry-go-round run, and the Internet is a great example of that. I chose my name, The Resident, back in the year 2000. I picked it to mean something generic, that I am just a person residing on this planet, going about the things most residents of planet Earth go about, experiencing much of the social and cultural movements that most residents do, or at least the ones watching online videos… Anyway, I thought it would be fun to take some time out to explore the cultural phenomenon of online handles and ask you why YOU chose your name and what it means to you. Don’t be shy now: let us all know your commentary right here and now on my little web talk show.

Personally, I like the concept of using original screen names to broadcast something about you and what like, so that people can home in on you, figure out if they want to talk to you, and associate instantly. I saw this person called “Tribbleofdoom” in the comments once, and I understood immediately that this person was slightly wacky, had a random sense of humor and was into Star Trek. Talk about an effective way to broadcast yourself!

I got frustrated and thought, okay, nakedbullwinkle!!! and, the rest is history. Oh, cancelled the old name and added still to it for bullwinkle is a silly moose and thinks if no clothes on, he is naked!!
