Is "fuzzyzquare" an allusion to rear-view mirror dice?

Sort of. The word "fuzzyzquare" came about when my husband and I were trying to come up with a name for our computer (of all things.) We started thinking it would be fun to use a combination of our names, like "Beniffer" or "Brangelina." With our first names being so short, our best option was either "Jarl" or "Kade," which would have worked but... kinda boring. So, thinking of our last names - Fuss & Squire - we started making combinations to, again, little satisfaction. Our attempts eventually turned into silly conversation and us making all the S's into Z's which gave us the "Fuzzy." Probably one of the most common "fuzzy" things to think of is "fuzzy dice" and hey, their square which rhymes with Squire - "Zquire" er, "Zquare!" Et, voila! FuzzyZquare! (Are you wishing you never asked? *hehe*)

Oh, and all after that, we ended up naming our computer "Mulder" as in Fox Mulder of the X-Files... 'cause he's cool. :)

Go ahead, ask me somethin'!

I think it's awesome that you have a name for your computer. Mine doesn't have a name, but my ipod is named Nunzio...I have no idea why.
