Being in the military (Marines) for 20 +, the wives were always commenting about Marines and that we are allways sterotyped as "MANLY". Well, during one of our rompin' stompin' platoon get-togethers, one of the wives called me "Martymuffin".
What could I do? So the nickname stuck when off duty, and it's funny to see expressions on a person's face when they actually see who Martymuffin is.
So it stuck in my head to use the name as an internet callsign and then it spilled over to the rest of my civilian email accounts.
People see "Martymuffin" and probably think derogatory, sexist or ****phobic thoughts about a creepy, skinny little sex offender, but alas, I'm far from it.
I'm not creepy. LoL.
Seriously, I have been looking to change the callsign, but nothing has really rung true. Wife and I have had great talent in naming our pets due to their behaviors, and when other folks see the pets, they realize where the name came from. But I still havent figured out something more fitting, so I have stuck with martymuffin for quite a while.
