We all have a screen name here, howd you all pick it?
I know for some of us this question is rather obvious ( *ahem* Patrick *ahem*   ) but for others, it is anyone's best guess.
For me, my story is rather boring. It was, maybe, 5 or 6 years ago when I first was signing up for an account at this really cool site that I had heard of called Yahoo! (it wasn't always as popular as it is now). Anyways, I was in the middle of this really stupid ska craze, well at least I thought I was, so I decided that I wanted 'ska' in my name. Now I needed to make it sound cool, and after about 10 minutes of thinking, I came up with 'defska'. I would have signed up with the name 'defska' except everyone had numbers at the end of their name, I mean, you weren't cool if you didn't have numbers . I had no real meaning behind my numbers, I just picked some numbers that sounded cool - 'defska42' was to be my new online name. But for some reason, as I tried to sign up, the name 'defska42' was taken...do you believe that!?!  . Thinking about it now, i probably just screwed up, cause I was rather stupid back then, and I dont think that there is currently a defska42 account. Well anyways, I chose different numbers...and 'defska17' was born. I have used it ever since for, well, everything 
So, who else has a story?

Mine is a nickname that I got from one of my coaches while playing little league baseball, I don't know if it was from sliding or pitching though. It just kind of stuck for some reason...

Here I go...
Wedge is a character from Star Wars. He piloted Red 2, Rogue 3, and Red 1 during the movies. So I came up with Wedge231.
