I grew up in a very rural area of the southern U.S. back in the 80s. The internet wasn't quite a thing yet, so my window to the world outside my small town was our mailbox, located at Rural Route Box 464. I had pen pal letters, catalogs, magazines and comic books delivered in the mail and it was pure joy to run down the dusty road and check for something new every day.
The internet became my new window to the world, so it just seemed natural to use "Box464" as my address. Even got the domain!
Biology teacher in HS mentioned off-hand that apparently chickens can climb trees. I searched for images online, thought they were funny, and made it my handle.
That makes much more sense now that I think about it. I think debate about whether chickens could fly was the reason this came up way back then actually…
@treechicken normal healthy chickens can fly in a limited way, eg to chase insects or to get up into trees (they like sleeping in trees because it's safer) or on the roofs of barns etc.
People who keep poultry sometimes clip their wings (cut off the flight feathers) to stop them doing stuff like that.
I was a DJ in the 90ies and needed a DJ name. I was looking for one and when I was on my way to Berhttps://jemmy.jeena.net/pictrs/image/1f9a70c2-3d86-4f4d-a264-841f60a08306.jpeglin for the Love Parade by train - already half drunk. And the we stopped in the city Jena, in the part Paradies, so the sign Spain “Jena Paradies” and I thought it was the perfect name for me as a DJ.
Then I added another e and dropped the “last name” part and here we are with “Jeena”
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea…
When ICQ was new, I met a girl online that went by Tina. Cute blonde with a gap in her front teeth. She and I would video chat all day while I worked. Many NSFW video chats from her side.
She named me Tina’s Horny Boyfriend. And I lived in Texas.
