Yeah, that is about the same thing I though of too when I first saw your username...Jdh5484 backwards would be 4845hdj ... which would be pretty dumb.
There was a short moment here where people tried to guess what TLB stood for. Their guesses are way better than reality, but I'll share anyways.
I was one of those quiet guys in HS and on a road trip with the soccer team one of our guys found a pen with the Skoal Bandit logo on it. He started spinning up a story about how the reason they never saw me with a girl is that I was sly and getting loving from all the women on the side. He dubbed me "The Love Bandit", and I've kept it for nigh 35 years now. It's my main online screen name, though I shorten it to TLB to somewhat obscure the meaning. I also maintain the Snoopy image on sites I frequent, but there isn't a lot of cross over between the sites I frequent. The "Joe Cool" image is reflective of me wishing I was cooler than I was throughout most of my life.
Side story, I've mentioned at times I work with another site that goes under the name bluelight, which we shorten to BL most of the time. It's a bunch of drug users trying to counsel each other and save lives. Over the years, we used to have pretty big meet ups, typically at rave events. As a means to identify each other by our screen names, I wrote TLB on my hand as everyone would know that from the site. But, I got the smart idea to draw a lightbulb with blue ink over it to help others recognize (yes, I was high at the time). One guy looks at my hand, looks at me, then asks "You are The Light Bulb?" smh....better than "You are Tomato Lettuce Bacon?"
But of course! I should have seen immediately how that inspired "Fodderwing". Silly me.
But where does Seedy come from?CD, because I’m not Seedy.
no cool story.
I still don't know wtf a "friend of Bill" is, but he had a LOT of friends on AOL!So seriously, my original username on aol was bradgator. I was at UF in 96 on a 14k modem when that became a thing. I used to love those original chat rooms.
With you guys knowing my sense of humor, it should be obvious that username got banned.
So did bradgator1
That's because NO ONE in the IT world should be mentioned in first person voice.... EVER!My username is a nickname (outside of the digits) that my buddy's family call me.

That's odd, @78 always said he thought he was your daddy.
Might I suggest Boogereatingmoron ?A long time ago (~15-20 years!) on Swamp Ass, I went by a permutation of my real name and “Gator.” I thought it would be fun to create some novelty accounts, where I would post “in character” for my own and others’ amusement.
“Dr. Zaius” was taken, so I registered “DocZaius.” The novelty of posting as a fictional character soon wore off, but I kept the DocZaius moniker and started using it all over the place.
I’ve been thinking of changing it lately, though I don’t know to what.
