Why is your username what it is? Does it have a special meaning? Perhaps it's a hilarious pop culture reference? Maybe you just slapped your dick on the keyboard and said gently caress it? Explain why you chose your username!  As for me, I was gifted this username by Lowtax in the Post here to become members of the 1986 MLB Topps trading card series thread. Apparently he was a pitcher "nicknamed Starvin' Marvin." EDIT: jesus christ, my worst gbs nightmare is coming true. Title should say CHOOSE, not chose. Could a nice mod help me out?

My username is based on the tale of the chinese zodiac. When Buddha invited the animals to his party, the cat was lied to by the rat, and was told that the party where they would be assigned years was on a different date. So that night the cat went to bed, dreaming about a party- and glory- he would never get to have. Roughly in japanese it supposedly translates to "year of the cat". I guess I strongly identify, i get dicked over a lot in life, mostly emotionally.

I heard fragmaster was some dude here, and at the time I gave all my wow characters fart names. If a mod or someone could change it to whatever stupid thing I don't think of, that'd be cool.

Long, long ago (in 1976) I was part of my high school's computer team. Back then, we didn't really have a computer at our school, we had a teletype unit and a suitcase-sized 300 baud modem. With this, we would connect to the mainframe at MIT, which was only about 30 miles away. We used this access to help students look for colleges that had the classes and majors they were interested in taking. All of this was controlled by various numeric commands, to access various folders and command functions. One day when no students required a search, I began a systematic search. We had a short list of numeric commands, I began putting in other commands. Eventually I had a fairly large list of various commands that allowed me to access all kinds of things, like text files, proto-email and contact information for staff, post-docs and grad students. At the same time, I was doing a research paper on Genetic Engineering. This was a new field (the first organisms, bacteria, had been genetically modified just 3 years earlier, in 1973. I was eager to learn about this, so I messaged some grad students and an associate professor to get information. They got back to me, but the professor pointed out that what I was doing was prohibited, as I was cracking the system (MIT uses the term "Hacking", not for computers, but for pranking) The professor was willing to give me limited access to the system, so I could continue my research, on the condition that I ceased all further attempts at cracking. I agreed. The professor, tongue firmly in cheek, gave me the username "Genesplicer" or "Gensplcr" because they were limited to 8 characters. I have used it ever since. So, if you do the math, I have used this username for 38 years. Which is somewhat longer than the average goon has been alive.

As I tell my students, "Duh." The cool part was I had access to MIT, but also to other colleges on something called the ARPANET. It was pretty freaking cool!
