There was a time when e-mail was new to all of us. If you are of my generation then the idea of your own personal e-mail address probably came at a time when the username part of the e-mail address was an opportunity for self-expression. As we’ve aged, most of us have outgrown our novelty e-mail addresses and exchanged them for something more straight-laced. (Some people haven’t, but it cannot take more than one job search for those people to be sorted out.)
Here are a few novelty e-mail address usernames and Internet handles of my own that I can recall. What are some of yours?

I remember being bobbys_my_hobby (like, Bob Moffatt of The Moffatts). Wow, that one was pathetic.
