How did you came up with your nick?

Came up with bighap in the summer 1998, the summer of the famous Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa home run race. McGwire was called Big Mac. So I have big and part of my last name = bighap.

It was 6 years ago. I got dragged to one of those pyramid scheme meetings; they wanted to recruit people for selling their pre-paid legal insurance. It felt like a cult.
The person in charge said, “I’m horrible with names and I hope your names are easy”. She started with me. I said, “My name is simple, it's Nick”. She looks right at me like I'm speaking German and replies, "Snake?" My buddies started laughing. Afterwards they told all my friends, who then called me at work for the next two months asking for SimpleSnake.

The "cRazYgAMeLoVEr" nick came from various silly stories but none more proud than the fact that I am a CRAZY game lover. I guess after spending time in the U.S. Marine Corps, thats enough to make anyone cRazY. It can be amazing when you think about what ppl can get use too. As for me, I got use to all of the crazy games they use to play in there.
Just a couple sample stories from that era of my past.

Making us grab our matress and bringing it down a hall for inspection. LOL
Making us get up at 4:00 in the frigin morning to run 3 miles in the rain.
Making us sit in a fox hole for 2 days straight while they run around throwing tear gas grenades in the hole with us.
Making us shine our boots only to make us wear them for that run in the rain.
Pure and simple Milton Bradley fun military games.
Can you believe I re-enlisted for a second term...................PURE CRAZINESS.
Last but not least, all of the great video games made to help us keep our sanity. 3 cheers for all of those great game makers....
Who ever thought a nick would be so senti-MENTAL

Thanks kosmiq, the nick does fit quite well! About the pizza competition dvd , send me a pm with your addy and I will hook you up with a copy. That goes for any other FileForums members. We are actually selling the dvd's on my website to help cover expenses for our trip to Italy for the World Pizza Championships at www.thepizzadragon.com. However, for my friends here whom have been so supportive, I will send them out upon request at no charge (no matter what country you are from). Just send me a pm or visit my site. I have one for you too Warlock, get ahold of me and I will send yours too.

A Special Thanks to all of my Crazy Gamer Friends For Life!
