For reasons that I can't remember, when I was about 9 I became obsessed with cows. I would say the word cow for no reason at all.
When I started playing Runescape (I quit that when I started to play Toribash,) the obvious name choice was something to do with cows. Cool is a very simple describing word, so I just put that in front of cow and... "that name is already taken." Gah! stupid 100,000 player game. I had to take Coolcow55.
Thus, the name was born and Toribash 3.0 came out so I had to make a permanent forum account, so I thought, why not keep it simple and go with Coolcow? And I didn't even have to put numbers behind it. I <3 you toribash
