Well, my name is Amanda Threadgill so athread came from that (cuz Threadgill is just too darn long to type :D).  And then our anniversary is June 7, 2008... so athread678. I use it for a ton of stuff!

I love to fish.  It was said many years ago that I was wizard like in that I made the fish appear.
Many years ago I created my first aol account and used the name wizfisher.
I have used it since and on quite a few forums.

This is The Breadbox.  It's the name I use on the Volvo forums I belong to, and it's my TV.

And how about bears do take out?

grizzly, that video cracked me up! You are right about bears being smart and strong. I think if squirrels were that big, I would be in trouble because they are very smart and have figured out every trick in getting into my bird/hummingbird feeders! At least the bear did take out!  ;D

Among other things, I design, install and manage computer networks.  "twstdpear" is a reference to "twisted pair" networking cable, and "pear" goes along with "twisted" because I've been described by more than a few people as not quite right. 

I'm really not sure about the two missing vowels.  It might have been because I was using "twstdpr" on UNIX systems and they were effectively limited to 8 characters for usernames.  I then probably added the two extra vowels in "pear" so that it would be pronounced correctly when when I started using the name in more places where people weren't as familiar with computer networking were likely to be.

Years ago....when I had to come up with a name I went with Islandgirl - simply because I was born on an Island and now live on an island - which I think is pretty cool!
