Well, I guess I'll reveal the secret... my friends know me as Toaster and I like Apple so I went with the most awesome Apple product to never be made, the iToaster.
I swear I'd already posted in here but search says otherwise...
Ok, me and my girlfriend used to joke about amputated limbs (not in a horrible way), anyone thats seen liar liar, we used to call it "the claw" and many spider like crawling gestures up the other persons back.
Schtumple is a mix of stump, and random inserts of other letters to phonetically mind f**k anyone that reads it into pronouncing it "skumple", I think there was also a long tie in with the podcast "Audiocrush" too, which we both listened to alot at the time.

Back in the dark ages, I was at a friends house and he was signing me up for some game. Name escapes me. Anyway, I chose the names of two of my favorite stuffed animals. I was young. Later on a 2 was added as many sites started requiring a number in the username. It has sort of stuck since.
My new one though is iBex. Long story. Once again it starts with a stuffed animal,
, which I lost. My dad found it then, and the stuffed animal called me its "exowner". That eventually got shortened to "ex-o". Ex-o turned to "bex". Finally the "i" was added due to my addiction to Apple.
So there you go!
