Shortbus - it's been so hard for me to learn this(electronics), that I feel like I am on the short bus going to school.

It's the only one that wasn't taken that I could think of.

I've also been called "that guy", due to a bad first name, not because I am an instigator.

And I thought you really meant the past tense of retch.

Mine is my initials and name given to me by parent #1 and parent #2.

Don't you ever wonder what you would have been like if they had used test tube #3?

I wish our government wasn't so insensitive. What about those individuals with three (or more) parents? You know, there are non-native earth races that require three individuals to accomplish successful sexual reproduction. Moreover, with gene splicing techniques on germ cells to repair defects, who knows how many parents an individual will have.

Mines a shortened version of my last name. My fellow Rescue Squad members gave me this name because they had trouble pronouncing my name correctly, and I kept correcting them.

Just my name initials & yes i also answer to it as thats what other kids called me many long years ago & stuck.
 
My dad was a great deal smarter than I realized. Who else would let me use his DC power supply to burn solder, or blow up capacitors? He gave freedom, knowing full well I might fall out of the tree. He taught me so many lessons, most of which I still haven't learned yet.
