My username began around 1993-1995, when I went to a coat store, and I have stumbled upon a basket full of stuffed animals. I saw a yellow colored stuffed bird, which in my opinion, looks like a duck (Picture in my avatar, just took it, and added it today). I immediately named him Ducky, at a young age there would be no other better name. His eyes are a bit white, because the black ink always rubs off when I used to play with him. Now that he's 21 years old, I let him sit around and just hang out. The "098" came up when I used to play as secret agents (instead of army), that we each have an identity code. My friend gave it to me, and I have kept both, and put them together ever since.
Thanks IdontSmoke for creating a thread like this. I never thought to make one, but I always wanted to share my story on how I got my username.
