in reply to Name Space

I got mine from listening to the radio!

I had just finished listening to one of my favorite CDs and thought I would listen to the radio for a while. The first Song I heard on the radio was from a band that had the same lead singer as the CD I just finished listening to. I thought it would be neat to intermix the two band names and it provided an interesting nickname.

Spoiler:
'A Perfect Circle' > APC
Tool + APC ~ A + to + P + ol + C = Atopolc

    vroom was taken :-/ ..

    But seriously, My nick has deep roots going back about 7 years. My favorite band in the world, Deftones, Inspired my original IRC nick DeF4u which was then shortened to DeF, Well, after being asked if I was Deaf hundreds of thousands of times, I decided to give my then seasoned nick a little pizzazz. Having been dubbed as defiant by several of my friends for my actions at a previous employer(long story), I decided to add the yance to my nick(defiance just didn't look right). That's my story and I'm sticking to it..

    -- Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of defyance.
