When I first started posting, many years ago, I was in university. At universtiy, my nickname was Skippy. Hence, I chose Skippy as my handle. I have often thought about coming up with a wittier name, but I stick with Skippy for continuity's sake.
Back then, the trend of chosing a nick based on an Askew character wasn't really the norm like it is now, I think.
Why was my nickname "Skippy", you may ask? When someone would ask, "are you Steve?" I'd reply, "no, I'm his evil twin Skippy".
I told you it was stupid.
