Means- moon bear in Spanish
Picked it because- It's always been all of my usernames since I was a kid. I was learning Spanish in 2nd grade and I felt proud that I knew those two words so I put them together. 😀

Mine is the medieval spelling of the weapon of the same name.
It became increasingly popular as plate armour developed, particularly during the fifteenth century which was the period I studied for my PhD. 🙂

I like my name as it says I like Apple products. Some people think of it as a derogatory term, but I'm taking it back!
t - wie - tee means t - like - tea (wohooo) but pronounced the same way (wohohohooo). I believe there is a remote chance you think it's called Tweety. Since I joined here because of a stupid query about my MBA (I think) I then gave zero thoughts about my nickname because I'd have never figured I'll hang out here so much. 🙂
Quite simple my first name plus the country where I stayed when I signed up; and still stay. Not sure if I would do it again the same way. But also too lazy to change.
I first started reading MR before I even had a Mac or even knew that I might want to join this site..... Eventually I had a couple of questions I wanted to ask, so joined, but because at that point I was still undecided about actually going with a Mac in my future, I developed the user name of "On the Brink." I was definitely teetering on the brink! Well....to make a long story short, I definitely one day was no longer on the brink, having brought home my first Mac, and was suddenly actually a happy and proud new owner of a PPC iMac.....eventually I realized that it was time to request a change in my user name, and I chose the one that I use on other forums as well...... The amazing Doctor Q nicely responded to my request and I've been Clix Pix here ever since!
As might be supposed by my current user name, I'm into photography and have been for a long time. My avatar, which I cherish, is thanks to a wonderful long-time member here who had created it a long time ago and generously allowed me to have it. 🙂

I didn't even know there were actual moon bears. Guess you learn something new every day. 😛
A haathi is an elephant; an animal I find utterly fascinating. Years ago I started naming servers variations on 'haathi' (i.e. haathipro for a MacPro, bigmemhaathi for a high memory server, etc.). One day I received a new phone that prompted me for a name: thus 'mobilehaathi.' For some reason (whimsy?) I felt it would make a decent user name when I registered for this site.
But I suppose that takes all the mystery out of it now. 😛

I'm a triplet and was born 3 months premature. Because it was so early, my parents hadn't yet picked out names for us, so they just decided to nickname us Dweezle, Moon-unit, and Stardust (not sure where that one came from) after Frank Zappa's kids while we stayed in the hospital. When I made my first username when I was 7 or so, "dweezle" was the first nickname that came to mind and I was one of 3 triplets, so I appended that to the name, and it's been my username for everything ever since.
Taken from the song name Oh Brilliance on Frente's first EP Whirled. Have a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYDaUz6clNg
Sandman824. I'm a CRNA or Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. Put people to sleep. AOL appended the numbers long ago and I just stuck with them.
It's what I used to do and sometimes is called back to do it again. Kids today have no idea the importance of satellite communications anymore.
Part-time Firefighter and EMT for over 15 years. Hence the name. Full-time Printing Pressman & Production Manager.
Where I live and my Collegiate affiliation. Not too creative. It used to be my twitter handle, but I have since abandoned it.
