As BB artist so skillfully put it, I also am an avid artist. Pen and ink, oils, acrylic. And although it's not what I do for a living, it's what I AM, and what I was born to do. I am an absolute batman fanatic, and have been so since around 1966. I draw Batman and anything related to him at every opportunity. Hence the user name 'Gothamart'
My username started when I was in high shcool playing football. They used to call me "Black Magic", so when I joined the Navy there was another guy in my command with the same nickname. He became New Jersey Black and I became "Carolina Black"
I made the name up back when yahoo chat first started. My whole profile was one big joke so I figured my name should be as well. Wally Jay Rosenberger was just about the silliest name I could come up with.

the reason why i chose my name is because i used to have an STI and i loved the same way i love my berry. i was always doing something to my car. ej25 is the engine code. but now i no longer have my sti, so i kinda regret choosing that name. i would love to change it to something else but everybody already knows me as ej.
because it's my old coder handle from back in the day I work on zsnes so I decided to keep it. It's like my second name. Thats what people know me for.
"Back in the day" when I was a travelling contractor I signed up for a hotmail account (before they were Microsoft even), and everything was being Y2K compliant or people were tagging on "2K" to their products, etc.
But the handle can be viewed in two different ways:
myke (mike) y2k (year 2000)
or how I pronounce it: mykey (mikey) 2k (2000)
So whenever needed, I use that handle. It's over 10 years old now! So if you see it, chances extremely high it's me...
I chose mine the day Madeline Kahn passed away. I had joined a flight sim group and wanted a German sounding name, so vonSchtupp it was in honor of Ms Kahn's Lili von Schtup.
vndlewis = my husband's initial, my initial and our last name. However vd did not look or sound good so it became v and d - vnd. I use it as my screen name everywhere.
Now if you look here on CB, I am also D or vindeelou. I love Cindylou Who from the grinch. I am really liking vindeelou and it will probably soon become me screen name on future boards.
I want to thank my cerealberry and friends in psh for my new name!

uncivilized was always something i was referred to indirectly usually in reference to my personality. over time, i just adapted it as my handle.. and its been this way since 2005. lol.
