Where does your user name come from?

Springboks are my rugby team

A friend of mine threw a carton of milk at me during lunchtime back in high school, which so happened to blow up in my crotch. I threw one back and put a welt on his back, then made him run home with me so I could change my pants. We came up with the name on the way back.

The name kinda stuck.

Every year for 4 months in the fall/winter I band (place a band on the legs of) raptors that migrate through the Golden Gate area of San Francisco bay.

Initials.

In high school, a friend use to call out in the halls:

"Hey, DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Never paid it any mind.

Later in college folks started referring to me (occasionally) as DC spontaneously... independently of the high school guy.

Weirdly, one day, we bumped into each other later in college, further increasing the "DC" references.

Since "DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" was too long and "DC" was too short, it appears that DeeCee was just right as a general signature.

How's that for a too long and too boring story?

Perhaps it was just fate...

- DeeCee*

*(Not to be confused with DC CURRY the comedian, or DeeCee the jeans brand).

Or Washington DC?
