CI. Where in the World are Sarah and Martin?
June 16th, 2009
From the wild African bush to the asteroid-blasted surface of Mars to the ratings-starved studio of Anderson Cooper 360, the fertile minds and deft digital skills of my readership and our viewership placed little Sarah and me in all sorts of wonderful places, populations and predicaments. And with a snappy, 24-hour turnaround! Thank you all for joining in on this ragbag of layering. It tickled me. And now, in no particular order and without further comment, here are your inspired creations:

Man, my display name is very confusing.
You see, back in the day there was this game for the Sega Saturn called ‘Nights into Dreams’. However, on the cover art it was spelled as ‘NiGHTS’. Now, the version of me that existed in 1996 thought ‘Wow, fancy use of capitalization!’ It was about this time I regularly started to sign up to forums and using Internet relay chat. On the most popular boards a simple nickname like ‘Aaron’ was always taken. The teenage version of me came up with the great idea of combining my first name – Aaron – with the name of the game – NiGHTS. This seemed very smart at the time, considering the letter the names shared. aaroNiGHTS was then born, and I felt very, very cool about having such a great display name.
However, as you can probably see, people came to think that my legal last name was ‘Nights’ (or sometimes Knights, Night or Nites). This is not the case.
My actual last name is ‘Davies’, and it is of Welsh origin. My middle name is my father’s first name, being ‘Rex’. This means ‘King’.
Now, I could sign everything I write with my real name. But saying ‘Follow AaronRexDavies on Twitter!’ is a lot to say, and lacks the cool capitalization of my current nickname. So for now, I will stick with my current display name, being ‘aaroNiGHTS’.
And Marty? I thought we were such good friends. Sarah knows where I’m from, my favorite color and even what shoe size I am. But you? Didn’t even put the effort in to learn my proper name. Its OK Martin! I still love you. You can still claim to be my Friend, and I will do the same for you. Nothing like this will ever tear our close bond apart.
Oh yeah, visit http://www.twifisfun.com. Because it’s just that dam fun.
