Since some of us are new to one another.... how did you get your screen name? What does it mean? And is it hockey related?

My name is a contraction of 'Destroy the core' which was the goal of the old Gradius games. The name has gone through several contractions over the years the current one being from a website that only allowed user name lengths of 12 characters.

One of my coaches made a joke about me after I missed a foul shot and called me "Darkstone." The joke didn't make any sense. At all. None. But the name stuck for about a year.

It's actually made a resurgence in college, as a few folks up here decided to start calling me Darkstone again. I don't know where that came from, but I have no problem with it.

The 42 is inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was also my senior year basketball number and my current hockey number.

Your coach probably got it from this:


The Mystics were notoriously bad at foul shots after the crystal cracked....

My school e-mail... first 4 letters of my last name with 4 random numbers. Easy to remember, so I use it for a few things.

High school nickname. I am truly a phenomenally hairy man.

Mine is a nickname that comes from my last name.

Most people just call me Urk like on here but my screen name is the full version of the nickname.
