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

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

And all the time I thought it was "the".
Marco-
My sympathies to you and your family. Our 6 year old Shetland Sheepdog Charli died on 6/5, so my family and I know how you feel.
Thank you for your kind words Slipknot1. My deepest sympathies for your tragic loss of such a young companion. I thought I'd share this parable with you (and others who may have had to face a similar loss) that gave us some comfort:

"In my dream I noticed two sets of prints in the sand, one was mine, the other my dog's.
But in times of trouble there was only one set, mine.
I asked my dog why he would leave me in bad times, and he replied,
"My dear master, I love you and would never leave you,
when you saw only one set, it was then that I was off protecting you."

Keep your strength.

Marco
