I got mine when I was heavy into Paint Ball. I started out playing cautious then figured charging is not a bad thing and you can throw people off balance.
Diving and rolling over bunkers someone said you look like a cat hopping across the field.
And I won alot of matches so Supercat was born (I even have a tattoo of it)

"What's the Origin of Your User Name?"

I was involved in a business negotiation with some out of state folks. My owners were set at their price and position (as in take it or leave it), but I agreed to meet the out of state folks at DFW for a face to face meeting. They started in with all the reasons why we should meet them half way and I restated our position.

Finally one of them pointed at his watch and said "that we don't have much time here, we need to get this settled." I responded that I was on Texas time and I didn't expect we were going to have an agreement. I guess I used the term Texas time because they had made jokes about Texas in some their phone conversations.

The next week they sent us a contract for our asking amount and started referring to me as OnTexasTime instead of by my name.

When I needed a user name for the first forum I got on, the name came to mind and I have used it on a couple others. When I did a search one time I found several using the name as well. Someone on the University of Texas alumni forum and someone on a California general discussion forum use the same user name and there is also a dot.com business that is not me.

I've worked on large diesel generators for the last 29 years so it seemed appropriate.

Are you who I think you are?

Have doctorate in the supervision of mental health practitioners with specialization in telemedicine technologies. My wife and children have given me Daffy Duck memorabilia for several years, which I collect. So, combining the two produces "daffydoc."

Mako 25 is my user name on The Hull Ttruth.com. It is a boating and fishing forum. It is also the boat that I've had since 1990.

I drink a lot of coffee. When I am deprived of it for more than a 5 days I become jittery and irritable, indicating a physical addiction. The feeling goes away once I get back on caffeeine. Hence, CoffeeAddict. Been using it for a while on several different boards since I was 19.

If I'm deprived of it more than 5 hours I get the same way
