Has this been done before? Probably, but I figure why not do it again
.
Here's the origin of mine... in the 1980's, I had a girlfriend who called me "futureboy" (probably because I wore all black most of the time... I was into the [straight] new wave/euro/gothic club scene... also in reference to the "Back to the Future" film where the professor called Michael J. Fox's character "Future Boy").
Eventually I started calling computer BBS's (Bulletin Board Systems) in the mid to late 80's, which were the precursor to the Internet, and used the handle "futureboy." Later I shortened this to just "future." Some lady on one of those BBS's started calling me "fewtch" (short for "future") and I liked it so it stuck... been using it on and off (but fairly regularly) ever since.
Anyone else have an interesting/noteworthy story (that isn't already obvious) behind their user name here?
P.S... any other former BBS'ers, here's the site for ya (free & noncommercial)... http://www.bbsmates.com
