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.

Moon bears are kinda awesome. Good choice.

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.
