What does your screen name mean?

I am joeyduck.

One would assume my name is Joey or some derivation. This is not the case.

Joey the Duck was a character I created for an assignment about in a Grade 9 English class. Since about 1995 he has usually been a handle for my interweb dealings in search for anonymity.

Brief synopsis (recall this was 9th grade male mind working):

Joey the Duck was a duckling who watched his family get shot by a hunter. He grieved and mourned and sought revenge. He eventually lured the hunters when on another hunt and dispatched of them.

What is your handle?
joeyduck has a far darker origin than I would have thought.

"tjspiel" has no real meaning. Some on the boards have referred to me as "tj" for short which is perfectly fine.
