Why did you choose your current username?

When I was a senior in high school, I had guitar class right after lunch.
I was sometimes sleepy after eating, so classmates called me mellow because I looked so relaxed playing the guitar. I just wanted to sleep, brah.

I chose my current username because I wanted a name that hadn't ever been used before, so I concocted a handle that had never been used before, half of it from my favorite pokemon, the other half from my pure essence (pimptitude).

But seriously, Christopher is a boring name by itself. It needed something to spice it up and be a bit more original.

I have had this name for a long time. It's a mispronunciation of "Platon" which means "broad" in Ancient Greek, and was the source of Plato's name (he was a very good wrestler in his youth. His birth name was actually Aristocles). I was reading Plato's "Republic" when I came up with it (oh jeez this was a long time ago) and I just stuck with it. I am not actually that strong, nor am I a platapus.
