I am actually neither. The name came from a story posted by another DUer, many years ago. When I first joined DU, in 2004, I was Husb2Sparkly. That soon got abbreviated to H2S. H2S is also the chemical symbol for hydrogen sulphide, the stinky stuff in eggs, farts, sewage, etc. This poster's husband, a chemical engineer, would see her typing a reply to "H2S" and would always laugh.

Sparkly and I thought it was pretty funny, too.

I real life, I tend be kind of silly and laugh a lot. I'm a happy guy. Sparkly likes to say I am a clown.

That obviously sort of grew into Stinky The Clown. In the only name change amnesty on DU, I made the change.

And here I am.

Stinky The Clown. (And now a host of this forum.)

Edited to add this picture of our three and the kid next door. Our three are the German Shepherd, the Border Collie, and the Shih-Tzu. The 120 lb Lab is the kid next door who likes to go for a walk with ours.

8. I didn't realize that Husb2Sparkly & Stinky The Clown were one & the same.

9. Hey, buddy!

Our Border Collie is a tri-color, too. You can tell she's got a merle pappaw somewhere: she has one brown eye and one blue.

Love to the furkids!

[Stinky The Clown]

10. Heh! We love the gold rings around her eyes.

They give them definition from her black face and make the eyes more "wise" and "knowing".

Of course, like all BCs, she *is* wise and knowing.

[HillWilliam]

11. If she's BC through and through

she's probably a bit of a smartass. Perfect for me because I resemble that remark

17. Hi Stinky!

So that's how you came up with your name. I always wondered about that. Love the dogs! The Shih-Tzu is darling! I love the hair on top of the head, almost looks like Alfalfa lol That lab is huge, I don't think I've ever seen one that big.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. The lab is absolutely massive

Our GSD is a little taller, but the lab is broad and stout. When he comes running toward you he's scary. Its like a freight train bearing down on you.

[SunsetDreams]

19. LOL

Reminded me of this scene in Turner and Hooch

[Grateful for Hope]

20. I really have enjoyed working with you in the host forum

I think you and I are of the same mind.
