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

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring I know , mine comes from the first initial of my first name added to my last name. YAAWNNNNNNNNNNN.
I'm a chemist/molecular biologist and in the lab I use pipete aids for liquid transfers. These are made by Gilson and called pipetmans. Sort of a no-brainer to make a moniker out of it, although it's somewhat (hopelessly?) geekish.
Actually, I was quite intrigued to learn, that Subaruguru - one of the regulars here - actually developed these things.
Some turkey had already taken "Jax" though never seems to use the site (one transaction and no discussion at all. Member since 01'). I had the brilliant notion to add the '2'. Jax is my beloved American Staffordshire Terrier of just over 13 years who only just passed away on 6/9/03. Her death leaves my family and many of our friends and neighbors with heavy hearts . I am very grateful to have shared 13 wonderful years with her! Jax 3.6.90 - 6.9.03
