Gotcha! And the "01" means that the self-esteem moved with you...

My name is Harold, and I was born in '48. It is so because, I can remember those two things when I go to log in.

Mine is a play on my last name.

Of course. Cheers.

Mine was the univeral password for our now obsolete field workstations, though when I signed up at SRP I forgot to capitalize it: ThisIsCLog. Now it looks like "this is clog" instead of " this is c log"

At 74 y.o.a. What can I say?!

I like the letter "P" and phonetic spelling

Initials and old racing #. I miss racing but you think rad or had is expensive...

Let me spin you a story about the turn of the century.

It was back in the early days, when the internet was an adolescent. There was flash & freeware & shareware & viruses still. The closest thing to social media was AIM, forums, and chat rooms.

Much of the usable internet that wasn't a company's website displaying their wares & how to get ahold of them was on a "for pay" basis. Chat rooms & email included.

When I hit 13, a major email provider came along with access to free email. Computers were the wave of the future, so I went about deciding on an online handle to go by.

Cut to the chase. I'm a fan of Spider-Man. A buddy was already going by "Doppelganger", and I found things like "webslinger" & "wall-crawler" too obvious.

So I chose Crawler. And I added three random numbers tacked on the end to to give me a unique identifier.

"In the weeds" or "in deep weeds" is a common waiter's expression for being task-saturated.

I haven't waited tables for many years now, but I am still quite frequently in Deep Weeds!
