Paul wrote: I’ve been wondering what the Significance of naming the site UdderPunch besides being funny in general does it have a more thought out reason behind it?

Well, I really wish there was a funny story there Paul, but I’m afraid there just isn’t. I was going to make up some story about a friend of mine in Tennessee punching a cow in the udders. (I had a friend, Anthony Clark, who used to work at a milk farm) But, I decided I’m not clever enough to come up with anything funny. Here is the real story:

One day when I was a student at FullSail I got into an argument with a friend of mine, Aaron Halstead. (I believe I was in Machine Architecture at the time) Aaron and I used to argue about really stupid shit all the time. I can’t recall what we were arguing about. Anyway, I was pretending to get mad so I said, “If you don’t shut up, I’m going to punch you in the udders.” To this day I have no idea where I came up with that. We both thought that was rather funny. Later that day I was talking with someone about how FullSail does a horrible job promoting the students games. So I realized that I had the opportunity to resolve this problem. That night I was thinking about a good remember-able URL that wasn’t taken. The earlier argument popped into my head, and udderpunch.com was available. I bought it, bribed my GF to build the site, and the rest is poorly worded history.

Now Udderpunch is my primary email address. I had a Tauren Druid named UdderPunch in WOW. My XBOX live tag is UdderPunch. And, my MySpace is UdderPunch.
