Before you say anything, it's NOT because I like the show: CatDog. That has got something to do with it, but I'm not this die hard fan of it. It's actually quite a long story, so here I go:
It started in about October 2003. At this time, school was back in session, and many of my friends were going on this relatively new gizmo called MSN Messenger. After much persuading, I eventually tried to download it, but realised I needed an e-mail address from Microsoft. I went onto Hotmail, and this is where the confusion starts.
When I started up, I originally wanted the address:
[email protected]
Homer Simpson - My favourite TV Character apart from Patty and Selma (although that would be weird in an e-mail address)
007 - James Bond's secret agent number (I don't know why, I don't even like James Bond)
But then I realised someone had that. I then started to think of a new name, and turned the TV on - to the show CatDog. I started to watch it, then thought of my own cat and dog (in the room with me), and then it just clicked. I have no idea why I added the "Mr" part, but I did, and now I can't change it.
It was then that I found Nintendo of Europe official site (which was actually where I was getting my Pokemon info - how naive of me), and I decided to sign up for the community. To think of a username, I remembered my new username and thought "What the heck" and signed up with the username "Mr Cat Dog". The rest as they say... is history, as I joined: NoE, SPP, BMG, TPM, PC and PWC (all but NoE being vB forums) - all with the same name. :D
