The Epics of the MachoTomato
Chapter 1: the Birth of t-Mat
I was born to loving parents. I then grew up. life has a tendency to work that way…
Chapter 2: The naming of t-Mat
There came a time when I decided to go to summer camp with a few friends of mine (none of whom are on this site btw). So it happened that on one of the days there we were told we would have pocket stews for supper. When supper-time came we all filed up to get our tinfoil wrappers filled with all sorts of wonderful mixed veggies. The cooking ladies were very kind and did everything for us, inlcuding putting our names on our wrappers so we could find them again after they had been tossed in the campfire to cook. When it came time for me to get my package labelled the lady asked me, "and what's your name?"
"Matt," said I, and she began to scribble the letters onto the shiney surface.
"Do you spell that with one 't' or two dear?" she asked. I looked at the package. due to unknowns she had filled the one side with the letters M, A, and T. I of course demanded two t's so I told her, "Normally i'd spell it with two t's"
"Oh dear," said she, "but it looks as though i've run out of room."
Trying to creatively save my dignity I quickly replied, "Then just put it at the front." and she did.
It then chanced that as i was walking to the campfire (about 10 steps away) one of my councellors noticed the odd spelling of my name and asked the reason. I told him the story thus far and he thought it was genius. Through the remainder of that week I went over the process of refining the name from TMAT, to T MAT, to T-Mat. Then almost three or four years later some other friends of mine told me of a new site they had created; our own, beloved Lolwiki. Unforunately due to a typo during my registration i misspelled my epic name as t-Mat, and actually humiliated myself when i only noticed the mistake a month later. And so the name of t-Mat had passed to me.
Chapter 3: Rise of the MackoTomato
Later that same year, during history class of all things, we (my class) were introduced to an amazing new website known as stripgenerator. I of course, being the comic freak I was, quickly embrace this new media as a chance to get the whole world to know my epicness, as well as to amuse my friends with comics about various topics. (check it out, visit stripgenerator.com) I was immedeately sold to the site. It was amazing! One could make webcomics about anything using rather simple principals. Any ways, needless to say I signed up for my free account a day later. When I got to the part where I was to choose a name, I automatically typed in T-Mat, making sure to spell it right, but then stopped. I began reflecting on how far t-Mat had got me so far in life. To be honest I felt it didn't really have the right kind of robustness that I was looking for, the kind that would remind one of dark chocolate every time it was said. I decided to do away with the name and proceeded to try several others including Kagicarp101, Xaidroc, and Flash the Three inch Ninja. The latter I had already used as a main character in one of comics I made when I was 10, so i decided against it. Kagicarp101 had been the name I used for a failed starwars galaxies account, and Xaidroc had been the name of a runescape account that I had forgotten the pass-word to. all three boded ill for me, so I was forced to come up with something new. Like always at difficult points, I laid it off for some time. I continued to use stripgenerator, and then a week later i found my perfect ego. one of the Characters available for stripgenerator members was this short, body-builder with flaming hair, who on first sight I thought resembelled a tomatoe. But a strikingly handsome one! I then decided this little gem would become my stripgenerator alter ego, if i could just get an account. So the I went back to the regeistration page. I kept the mental image of this handsome tomato with me and devised a name. "He's quite the macho," thought I, "and he looks like a tomatoe… I know Macho Tomatoe! except we‘ll cut off the ’e' because that letter is so un-macho." And so Macho Tomato was born.
Chapter 4: MachoTomato takes on the world
So the name Macho Tomato now stuck to me. I have to admit it really did give me the feeling of tasting dark chocolate every time I said it. In fact, it was so catchy I started using it for nearly everything! Runescape, Kongregate, even my own laptop soon donned the name of MachoTomato. I even started handing in my tests at school with "Long live the Macho Tomato!" or my new slogan for stripgenerator "All Ye Adore the MachoTomato!" scribbled in huge letters on the front page. As I neared the height of my stature I even began to produce new words, exclusive to MachoTomato or those it portaned to. "Osome" and "bxtq!" were just a few. I then even took out the space so that it could be said as one word to magnify it's glory and osomeness. MachoTomato had risen, and the world would now revere it!
Chapter 5: MachoTomato replaces t-Mat on Lolwiki (aka: events to date)
//Then after some time I went back to Lolwiki. Here I started the whole planet Henrooster saga and got most of the original members quite involved in it. Anyways the saga concludes that I was fired from my place as ambassador to Earth from Henrooster. But the most recent installment says that now spec. ops agents from henrooster are out to get me, t-Mat. Therefore, thanks to my alter egos, I switched my name of t-Mat for MachoTomato to disguise myself from their hacking eyes, and to rid myself of its embarrasing typo. Yes indeed it was a big change, but one I see as being for the better. And now I am undergoing the process of cycling my avatars just for fun's sake. My newest one (being the second) features an awesome robot head that I kind of imagine the real MachoTomato as being like. It even has MachoTomato written on its forehead but it's a bit to small to read if you scroll over it. Any ways I made it today, and I actually really like it. I'll be switching again in a month, so i'll keep u posted. I'm also uploading my old avatars to the Lolwiki art gallery as I switch them out, so you can keep track of my looks history! //
