Where does your user name come from?

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.

Max is our dog's name.... And he is our boy...hence maxboy. The numbers at the end mean nothing. We also have Sadie... AKA Sadie girl... but not before the handle was created.

When I was in music school in the late 70's I composed a piece of music for solo guitar.  It was somewhat in the style of the preludes of Francisco Tarrega so I attributed it to the imaginary turn-of-the-century guitarist Tostados Unidos.  Title of the piece is "Cancion do los Chicharrones."
For some reason it popped into my head when the empty box stared at me, asking for a user name for Audiogon.
