Pseudonyms, pen names, nom de plumes, screen names. The names that populate Daily Kos. Okay, some of the writers listed in the title do not regularly contribute to the discourse here. But you're here now so play, if you would.
How and why did ya'll choose the name you use here at Daily Kos? Some of you old timers, insiders and maybe a few cyber stalkers may know why Lithium Cola uses that name and/or the frequency with which said drink is drunk. And DemFromCT; is he really from Connecticut or is he hiding from authorities for prescribing lithium cola? Hey, let us newcomers in on the dark secrets.
2nd balcony, from what; the left or the right? ek hornbeck appears to be his actual name, but ek, what's the deal with ek? artofstarving, is she confined to an abusive nursing home? madgranny and grannydoc, sure but where are the old, angry male physicians? Or what about walkshills; a nature lover or someone who wanders casinos pretending to gamble? And what is the deal with nom de plume's nom de plume? Then there is norm de plume. Some, well some we may be better off not knowing, you know, like rim job and maybe OneEyeKing.
It is Friday evening, a Holiday weekend for some. There is probably nothing worthy of our attention on television except for the first weekend of baseball so please provide me a diversion and share the reason you chose your Daily Kos name, what if anything you wish to convey via your pseudonym and if you use you real name how you came to that decision. If you want you could just do like this Kossack, Phil N DeBlanc
