User talk:MikeTheWalrus

MikeTheWalrus is a moniker for Michael Mauer, a student at the University of Connecticut, or UConn. The name originated in early 2002 when Mike was listening to a popular song by The Beatles, called "I Am The Walrus." This sparked inspiration in Mike, and he immediately went to his AOL Instant Messenger account and replaced his former screen name, SamuraiSheep. Finding that "IAmTheWalrus" was already taken as a screen name, he decided to personalize it by adding his own name.

Since 2002, Mike has used the screen name for many websites, including Yahoo, Totse.com, Pogo.com, Wikipedia, and others. It is still currently his screen name for instant messenger.
