Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoeBlank" data-source="post: 1741402" data-attributes="member: 1806">My screen name is my real first name and part of my last name. I use it everywhere I can, because I like the consistency and don't want to have to remember different screen names for various boards. Not that I post much elsewhere anyway. I used to think it was pretty clever when I first started using it years ago, with Blank not seeming like a real last name but more like a placeholder. I also considered Joe _______, which would actually be a little clever. But then Arthur Blank comes along, becoming well known as a co-founder of Home Depot and then raising his profile further buy purchasing the Atlanta Falcons, in my home town. No relation, of course. I remained proudly avatar-less, sig-less, and anti-smiley for years. The EN World Book Club convinced my to give in on the sig, and it was down hill from there. My family, including my parents and my wife's extended family, are all big Disney fans. I see Mickey as a symbol and reminder of youth and fun. My wife has a Mickey tatoo. Sorcerer Mickey seemed perfect for EN World, especially when I started playing a gnome sorcerer.</blockquote>
