How'd you get your nick?

Hrmm.
Derived from my real nick name SampSon.
Which was given like 8 years ago.
A long night of hard partying brought about a session on irc.
Some how the discussion of karate kid came in to nick changing.
SammySon stuck.

 

[troglodytis]

it's from mr. rogers'neighborhood.
there was a show where king friday, xiii, had a pet wooden bird on a stick.

it's name is actualy spelt Trogladites Aedon or Trogladytaes Aedon(the mr. rogers' website has it both ways). but i didn't know how they spelt it 'till later...i came up with Troglodytis I. Eden

in the episode i saw all the people in make-believe kept asking why king friday wouldn't get a REAl pet. i thought that was very hipocritical of them. i loved king friday's ability to make-believe on a different level than the others. also i wanted a pet wooden bird on a stick...or maybe i just want to be one.

king friday has a song about his pet wooden bird on a stick, but i don't know all the words.

Troglodytes Aedon is also the genus species comonly known as the house wren.
it's family is troglodytidea.
