: That's scary... An internet nickname that people who you
: actually live in proximity to you call you...
Some of my closest real-life friends I also know extensively online. One day we were in the grocery store and one of them called me "Hey Fobo!" cause everybody online calls me that and so he does too... and I actually responded to it. It took us both a second to realize that he had called me by Fobo... and that I actually responded! It stuck with some of the others since then, and so some people just know me as Fobo now.
