My screen name is Skorp. Has been since I first needed a screen name. The "meaning" behind it is a combination of things. I'm a Scorpio. I have pet scorpions. I have an affinity for all things scorpi'. Hell, I even liked the Scorpions in the 80's because they did indeed rock me like a hurricane.

It's had many incarnations too...usually due to some knobgoblin getting it before me. Skorp88, Skorp882003, Skorp76, SkorpD, SkorpDJ, -Skorp-. You know the routine. The Skorp88 one has gotten me in trouble though. Turns out 88 also means Heil Hitler in internet lingo or something, "H" being the 8th letter and all and not to mention spelling Skorp with a "K" which automatically makes me a Nazi I guess. Whateva... The 88 came from an old joke about 88 being better then 69 cause you get "eight" out twice and it made me giggle.

I could have used my real name, for my screen but then not only my closest of friends could tease me about the girly-sounding real name, but a whole load of internet freaks could try and cyber me every time I logged on.

Well that's it...that is the origin of my screen name. I still like it. I don't care if anyone else does. And I'd like to think it's better then "StudMuffin273", "1337d00d", or "IMme2CmeJizz". Although that last one has a nice ring to it.
