How/why did you you choose your username?

Some of these are obvious and some mysterious. Mine, well obviously my name is Mike. I also happen to be a big football fan. Its kind of a play off of Iron Mike (like in Ditka, not Tyson). I use it here, at arenafan.com, areanfootball.com, cfl.ca, football.com, the Tivo boards, about anywhere I can.

I'm almost certain there was a thread on this like 6 months ago in FedEx. If I knew how to use the search function I would find it for you. Its really entertaining and had a ton of replies. Hopefully someone will hook you up with a link...it was a good read.

:cheers:

That explains everything :laugh:

OM you guys scared off that Cycleans guy :(

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,

Smells like a steak, and seats thirty five?

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down

It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Hey, hey!

Twelve yards long, two lanes wide,

Sixty five tons of American pride!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Top of the line in utility sports,

Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

She blinds everybody with her super high beams

She's a squirrel-squashin', deer-smackin' drivin' machine

Canyonero! Canyonero! Canyonero!

Whoa, Canyonero! Whoa!

When I joined...it was johnny_mavrik - which was an inside joke with a college buddy - we used to make fun of porn names and this was my choice of a name - should I have been a pornstar.

Took over the mantle of The Evil Genius when SOS was hired. Suprised no one chose it becuase it was available for a few months I think after he was hired.

I've never explained mine before, because who gives a crap about what a Cowboy fan chooses a name, right?

I chose 'flashback' on the spur of the moment about 7 years ago in a Cowboys message board on the Austin360 web page. Flashback was actually the name of a fullback counter play my HS team ran, and was about the only time I touched the ball. I liked it (the username) because it has some old school connotations, too. It has nothing to do with that time I dropped acid...for 6 years... :laugh:

I only joined because of this nostalgic whim I needed to satisfy (see here ) and the first thing that came to mind, nostalgically, was Ben Johnson's 9.79, or actually the guy on TV screeming - "9-7-9 !!!". Don't have a clue why. I thought'd be just one thread for me so didn't put much thought on the username, but in the short time I've been here I've found a warm home away from home :cry: (they should have an "awwwww" smiley). Might change the name now... (maybe to Dwain Chambers' result)
