Years ago I had a really bad screen name for chat rooms and e-mail addresses and such that I really didn't enjoy, and only had it because I couldn't think of anything better at the time.

Then a couple buddies from school kept nagging me to play Unreal Tournament with them, but they said the only way I could is if I could get a better screen name. It took me over a week to think of something.

It happened when I was watching a the learning channel (back in the awesome days before all this home renovation stuff), where they were talking abouts weaponry and such. They briefly mentioned a Molotov Cocktail. So that became my name for a while. The only problem was, on the score sheet in UT, it was pretty long and would sometimes cover my score, so I shortened it down to just Molotov.

Now for simplicity I usually just go with Molo. However when people ask, I rarely give the above story, I usually just say it's from the Russian General, or from the Spanish band.

* As a side note: During my days of playing UT, I had played with the guys from TBA a couple of times, and even Halx himself at least once, on some random servers. It was because of TBA that I actually found these forums long ago, just for the longest time I never posted.
