How did you choose your screen name?

[SmartAZ]

I'll go first.

I wasn't always SmartAZ, I used to be Wallstar. I didn't think about it, it was the first word that came to mind. It seemed like something I had seen every day.

Then it occurred to me that I didn't know exactly where I had seen it. I started looking for it.

It took a few days, but I finally found it. I was in the men's room at work. The screen in the urinal had the brand name Allstar. But from a certain angle, the reflection of the overhead light looked like a W in front of it, making it WAllstar. I had named myself after a urinal screen!

Back in the heyday of the Fido BBS, SmartAZ was the name of the board run by the Arizona chapter of Mensa. I never liked the board but I admired the name, so I swiped it.
