#dathings1

DaThings began as an alias in a Homestar Runner fan community (a reference to the Strong Bad Email "garage sale") in the mid-late aughts, and when it was time to make a YouTube channel I chose to just keep the same handle. There was someone else using DaThings on YouTube so I went with DaThings1 because I had heard somewhere that adding a 1 was a thing you could do if someone claims the username you want.

The 1 was out of necessity I guess? Or maybe stubbornness because I didn't feel like thinking up a different name? Either way it wasn't an important part of The Brand, it made the username an unnecessary mouthful to say, it didn't have any significance to me, and it wasn't even what I wanted. A single alphanumeric character that felt like a burden at the worst of times, and at the best of times felt like nothing.
