The only part i didnt figure out on my own was "Cougar", but reading the explanation, I dont think i would have. :)
I have told this many times, but I will again, just because I like the sound of my own voice.
Back in '99, when my cheap-ass family finally got an internet connection, I was playing a lot fo the quake 3 demo online, and went through quite a few name changes. Being the big dork I am, i went by "Vlad O'Vostok" for a while, obviously a play on Vladivostok, a city in russia. Then i thought "Hey, Russia is the home of Vodka, so I could be uber-geeky and call myself 'Vlad O'Vodstok'. I am soo cool"
At this point, it would be another couple of years before i would once again feel the warmth of a woman's touch, for the record...
Eventually i dropped the "Vlad O'" from the front because I thought "Vodstok" sounded cool. Since then, i have used it for everything from a D&D character, a story character, and as my name in any online game, most notably when I was part of a counterstrike clan.
And everywhere i use it, people end up calling me "Vod".
My favorite was when I was running game servers at my job a few years back, I was pounding the crap out of several co-workers, and one of them said "Who the hell is Vodstok? Quit shooting me godamnit!"
