What's the story behind your login name? - Page 9

because I adore my 2008 Mini Cooper S

:mrgreen:

oh, and I generally don't like capitalization very much. I would use it less if doing so didn't cause confusion. "mini" has an appealing shape in all lower case... well at least to me, because I think about such things.

(that sounds bizarre, doesn't it?)

Story? OK!

I tend to view things in life in terms of OOP. Plain "me" was too general, anonymous, irrelevant to this forum. What I really wanted to use was
"me.hobbies.expensive.coffee.OCD.espresso.edu.community.edgy.ego_busting", but this was just too long while not being very comprehensive nor accurate. So, as a shorthand, I settled for coffee.me cuz it looked like an Internet domain name and demos a relationship.


That's just one story!


I wish there was an interesting story, but there isn't one really; coffee.me was what came to mind, using zero thinking, IIRC, when filling the reg form. Now, why it came to mind that fast is a different story :twisted: .

Been riding and racing bicycles since I was about 7, so over 30 years now. USCF is United States Cycling Federation; Roadie is road racing. Though I also race mountain bikes and do triathlons, the road is where my heart lies.

I'm sure it comes as no surprise, but Kaffidrikker is Norwegian for "coffee drinker"...

He can't tell you he's my EA sponsor. We're both working on our 1 hour badges. :wink:
