So, how'd you get it??

Mine is actually really boring. Sapphire has always been my chatroom nickname, so I just reuse it cause its easy and rememberable to me. If I'd had any idea how much I'd be on this site when I first joined, I would have used a more suitable handle, like Manchester Dynamo Diva or something.

Anyway, I first got the name when a boyfriend of mine set up my first online chatroom. He was so proud of himself: "I named you Sapphire because of your beautiful blue eyes". Poor guy; my eyes are actually gray/green. He tried though, I guess.

It's the name I use on every forum and in my email but I'll break it down anyway:

MHT: Michael Hanna's Team

WINS: Wins

11-3: The score of an Angels game I went to as a kid, a tribute to the funnest game I've ever personally attended/my best childhood memory.

The name of my hometown MLS team. It's not really exciting is it.

What about the 96? That's not part of the Dallas name, is it?

I thought it was because of your "special" time in front of the computer...

It just throws in the founding year of the club that is part of the club badge.
