Hi! Stoots here - if you're common to the board, you most likely know me as "Mike in MN" - well, last night, there was a post asking people the stories behind their screen names...so I figured its time to change mine!
My nickname in real life is "Stoots" because my last name is Stutz (rhymes with butts, putz, nuts, & klutz - elementary school was hell!) but on the first day of class, all of my teachers would always pronounce it as STOOTS. So my friends started calling me that as a joke, and it stuck as a nickname. So from this point forward, in the View Askewniverse, I will simply be known as Stoots.
