Hey Cristina,... this is a fun thread!

Well,... Mig is my long-time nic-name, forced on me by a very mean big brother at the wee age of 3 yrs old.

My dumb stupid 7 yr old big brother always called me names (I was the youngest of 3 kids),... he used the 'M' from Melinda, and whenever he wanted to really bug and tease me, he'd call me 'Mig the Pig' . ARRRGH! He drove me nuts!!!

My parents tried to make him stop but he wouldn't listen. Look! It's Mig the pig, Mig the pig, Mig the pig ... he loved teasing and torturing me! Finally he shortened it to Mig (but I still knew what he meant ). Then my Aunts and Uncles (not knowing it's nasty origin) started using it too!

Eventually everyone started calling me Mig (even my parents) and there was no stopping the onslaught. Finally, I came to like the name, since only my closest friends & family use it. When I am in a big crowd and someone yells out 'Hey Mig' ... I know it will be someone special!

When I first started lurking in KA, I felt an immediate connection to all you fellow spondylitics and so my choice was easy!

mig

Elspeth is my given name, and ask is because I asked to join AS,also easy to remember.

Hey, Splinter Supervisor,

I tried your link and it asked for a logon.

Hi,
This is fun.
My brother who has AS used to call me Buckwheat because we had it growing in the back fields behind our house. When we were kids and would walk in the fields it was so high you couldn't see me in the plants. When I was diagnosed I did a lot of thinking about what my brother had gone through with AS so this was the name I came up with.

Oh TA BUCKWHEAT!!

Hey, let's not forget Bobby in South Africa and your old flameTim in New York! Especially Tim as he was the first to label us AS Kickers, which led to our name Kickas.org.

My user name is in honor of my first granddaughter, Dakota Danielle Troy. On July 26th the last (unless the SIL chickens out:) of my grandchildren was born and her name, Willow Mackenzie Troy, would suggest another good user name, Willowmac. But I'll stick with the more manly Dakotadan:)

Gladstones?:)

Well, I guess I'm much the same as a lot on here. My hobby is Wood Carving, so for some odd reason when trying to get the e-address of Wood Carver all were taken. After much tinkering at last I came up with "wudcrvr".
It is allways fun to hear what prompted the usernames.

This is a cradle that I carved for my grandchildren.

That's an easy one for me, although the recent success of the X-Men movies and their central character, Wolverine, has made some people make an incorrect guess at my name's origin. Nope, no comic book character for me--my name is a direct homage to my beloved University of Michigan Wolverines. Graduated in 1986, got to fulfill a dream while I was there by working on the Michigan Daily student newspaper, where I got to cover the football team for a year and talk one-on-one with the legendary Bo Schembechler. What a year that was! Good times.

I'll bleed maize and blue until I die, so this seemed like a good way to show my allegiance. And why wolverinefan2? Well, that's obvious--because someone else had this great idea before me at the first site I used this as my ID (ESPN.com, I think--at least five years ago).
