    I don't know if this question has ever popped up, but I'm just curious as to what your story and reason for you moniker, handle, nickname, or whatever you wanna dub it, here in Clutchfans.

    I'll start:

    Jason-nick name I dubbed for myself back in high school. My friends basically call me by this nickname. Funny thing though, my real name is far from what you would expect. But I like this one better.

    emilio-another nick name I dubbed for myself.....well...for a part of myself ;) ;) . Long story, but just look up this name : Emilio Aguinaldo. I got the idea after I learned him in my American History (AP) class.

    Thus, jasonemilio :D

    Rockets---I like the rockets

    1616-random digits that increase the probability that this name has not been previously chosen by a member.

    Not very original i know, but didn't think that I would get addicted to this site when i first registered so didn't think it was anything.

    I was living in Moab when I signed up... there's the Moab Rim...

    [​IMG]

    which is literally a rim of rock around the town and is sometimes called rimrock. Since rimrocker also had a basketball meaning, it seemed the perfect blending of my affinities for nature and basketball.

    Means two things:

    Funny, I always read your name as "down-twirl"

    you gotta love The Drake :D

    I also like the faint allusion to Drake's Coffee Cakes (I watch a lot of Seinfeld... :p )
