Proclubboy: Setting it straight

My online handle is "proclubboy," and this has often caused a lot of problems when I first work with people. I think the problem is because people assume that "proclubboy" can be parsed as "Pro Clubboy," which suggests I am a big party guy. The fact that I am a little burly (and therefore probably could hold my alcohol) doesn't help much either.

The real story is that in 2002, I went to do an internship with Microsoft. To test a product, I needed an MSN Messenger handle. Since I was going to the gym (named "Proclub") every day, I named myself "proclubboy."
