Combination of my ex wife's nickname (Tink) and my name (Al). We used it when we first got online in 1991 as a login name. She never really used it and it just became my online identity.
Born/raised/educated/employed/retired in Minnesota. And eventually cremated assuming we don't achieve the singularity ahead of schedule. Thus, forever.
Was the main characters name on a tv series I was watching at the time. I kind of regret it actually as the name reminds me a little too much of Casey Anthony (who was obviously guilty!)
Years back I tried signing up for some thing online and had to choose a screenname. Everything I typed in was taken. In frustration, I said to myself while typing, "can't I just move on to some other subject." I typed in othersubject and it worked.
When I signed up on TER it said to pick something that nobody would recognize you from... so just did a random name and this was the first one that worked... sorry, nothing clever.
I love Dos Equis (XX) beer commercials (you know, the most interesting man in world...). And "Don" is Spanish and is a title given to a man as a sign of respect, often when he becomes the head of a family. So, just a lighthearted spoof name, I guess.
