Ha, well... I play a sport called freestyle footbag, it's a competitive version of "hacky sack"... there's tournament internationally, etc. etc. I've met a lot of great people through it. (www.footbag.org if you're interested, for more information)... and the friends at school that I had at the time nicknamed me "the foot." Then there was this trend where everyone picked screennames that was "BigDirty[insertnamehere]" and so my friends were named "BigDirtyBilly" and "BigDirtyHoss" and names like that. So I just put "Foot" as my name.

But hey, now my nickname's just as bad - "Sloppy Dave." They gave it to me in rehearsal one day because I had my feet on top of my flip flops. Told me to stop being "sloppy"... and it stuck. Oh well!
