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

When I first got into this hobby all my components were from Blue Circle ...I started off with the baby cs
That same year my son was born and we called him Mike

I remember the first time I posted on audiogon it promted me for a username and I decided to go with Bluemike ..the username stuck

Not very original I know but it came from an Elliot Sharp albumn which was reviewed/pictured in a recent Absolute Sound issue discussing Free Jazz guitar. I've heard this guy perform live numerous times here in nyc and his music siezes to amaze

when I FIRST GOT A pc ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO, THEY TOLD ME TO USE SCREEN NAMES AND PASSWORDS i COULD REMEMBER... HAVING NO REAL ADVANCE WARNING I HAD TO GENERATE ONE IMMEDIATELY... WRITING IT DOWN SERVED NO PURPOSE, BUT STATING THE OBVIOUS IS A PRETTY EASY THING TO REMEMBER. I HAVE SINCE THAT TIME DEVELOPED OTHER'S BUT FOR FRIENDS & NON BUSINESS THIS ONE STUCK.
Great question!
Mine is from the wonderful novel "Magister Ludi" The Glass Bead Game.
