A'ight folks. Here's my story. (I call it "senorpepr: How he's not from Puerto Rico, despite public demand)
Back several moons ago (in the mid to late 90s), the internet was getting popular and so were instant messaging clients. I got a hold of Yahoo! IM first and selected the screen name route71. (I lived off of US 71 Highway)
Several months later, I was sucked into the phenomena that has taught many of our youth today how to type quicker, be lazier, and to come up with catchy phrases that relay full sentences by only typing a couple of letters (ie: r u sk8'n 2?). Folks, I'm talking about AIM.
Nonetheless, when I joined the AIM program, I tried using my trusty ol' screen name from Yahoo!, but alas... it was taken!
Now I was struck with the troublesome task of coming up with a new name that relates to me. I still had the taste of supper in my mouth. Lovely Mexican food from a nearby resturant that I visited often with my friends: Señor Peppers.
Of course, in the old days on AIM, back when modems were 36K, higher if you were VERY lucky, AIM restricted the number of characters that you could use. senorpeppers wouldn't work.
In classic AIM fashion, I quickly removed unneeded letters to come up with a suitable screen name: senorpepr.
Tada! That's how I became senorpepr. (It's like Dr. Pepper, but without the degree and with a hint of Spanish... although I'm not Spanish.)
