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

I was clearly overly anxious about a car purchase and decided to change my ID to reflect such. I had planned on changing it back to EHEAD (an entirely different story) once the car arrived, but it is amazing how many a) I have a Porsche too, which one do you have, or b) based on your name, do you drive a Porsche cab? It actually sparks interest in another passion of mine, the 1997 Porsche Twin Turbo Convertible. I sold the vehicle last week because each oil change was worth more than my Honda!!

I suppose it is time to head back to EHEAD.

I love this post, Sugarbrie, I have wondered the same!
Garfish??????????????????

This is actually a cool thread!
My user name is my nick-name that is completely abstract and can be interpreted with huge bunch of definitions. Since definitions for this nick name is so many I now consider my user-name abstract and give members an ability to define it the way they want to.
i picked mine for lack of anything else more ironic that came to mind. i was new to internet chat sites but not to audio. it has been interesting to see how often people have thought i was a newbie to audio and acted accordingly. i think about changing it, but what the hell..........
I started doing research about a year ago because I wanted to get a HT system including plasma tv. One of the very first sites I stumbled upon was Cable Asylum over at AA. I started reading posts by John Risch, Steve Eddy, Audioengineer and other engineering pro's. Cable Asylum can get real technical real fast. I would read posts and reread posts. I took physics in college but these guys were way over my head. I went out and bought a basic electronics textbook to study so I could try to follow some of their posts. It got a little better but mostly it is like trying to pound nails into rocks. Hence Rockhead.

My first purchase for the HT was Von Schweikerts gen III. When I hooked them up to my ancient Adcom 555 amp, my jaw dropped. I spent all my HT money on a 2 channel front end.
Nothing on TV and most movies aren't very good anyway. Glad I didn't buy the plasma first.

Regards,
Patrick
