Re: What's with the name, Buddy?

My name is pretty simple.

I've always thought that the best response to "What's your favorite color?" is plaid. There's no joy in the world as saying something that makes people make 'the face'.

I coupled that with my quest for a good ninja movie. I tried watching 'American Ninja' but that was a joke. I kept searching, but had no success. I'd just end up laughing.

My first e-mail account was Juno. I had the moment of figuring out what my address should be. I stared at the screen for some time. Using my name just wasn't 'me'. An e-mail address of ludwig1970@juno.com was a little drab. So after some thought, it came to me. Plaidninja doesn't roll off the tongue, but tartanninja, now you've got something. I've used it for over 10yrs now.

That and I have excellent reflexes. I've made a peripheral beer catch on more than one occasion. That helped seal the name with my friends.

So there you go.
