Where does your user name come from?


Hi everyone,
I'm curious to know what's the story behind your user name (or Alias)... There are a bunch of people that use their name (of parts of it) like myself, Albert Porter, GerryM5, Esoler...

But where does user name like Cornfedboy, Garfish, Calloway, Tireguy, SwampWalker (and many many others) come from? Any story behind?

Just curious

It was the name of the manufacturer of the motorhome I lived in. Lean times but I was footloose and went whichever way felt right with little real stress.
What a great topic! Cool to hear where some of these come from.

All my usernames across various sites come from The Godfather. I'm the godfather to my nephew, poor kid, and when he was little I had no end of fun doing Godfather "shtick" - the orange peel thing, brushing the underside of my chin and mimicking the voice with my chin jutted out, air smacking him and telling him to sit up in his high chair like a man, that kind of thing. It made him giggle, so the gig went on for years.

My original username for most things was Clemenza. We even named our  cat Clemenza. The problem was, I changed internet providers often in the early days because they kept buying each other out. I got a new provider at one point and Clemenza, Tessio, even Luca Brasi were already taken! So I went with Virgil "The Turk" Sollozzo, who no one uses much because he was one of Tattaglia's guys. That one stuck. I had to become one of the bad bad guys. I still go by Clemenza in some places, but I'm mostly VSollozzo now. I have a helluva time spelling that out for people.
