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

Mr Tennis,

Don't let the injury stop you. I have multiple tears in each Meniscus and Osteo/Rheumatoid Arthritis in both knees with my C-45 vertebrae degenerating. While Table Tennis doesn't require the extensive court coverage of your former sport, I still have to be quick on my feet.

Baka is Japanese for "stupid". 1969 is the year that my ex wife and I were born. So basically it's a dig at the both of us.

@Rex44 My ex wife is Japanese. When I originally used this screen name I was going to use a different name but it would have been offensive in Japanese. So I settled on this. lol

My username is based on my MOS or job specialty in the U.S. ARMY when I first joined audiogon. Went back to infantry, so I should change it again?
