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 lived in iowa during the first 27 years of my life. where corn was, and still is, a staple. in the "hard" variety for livestock and in the "sweet" form, picked and eaten within the day, for such as i.

VAYAsteve means GO STEVE,had that nickname sine I first got on line so why bother changing it.
Like Mike1diver, mine comes from the "other" hobby that consumes all my time and money, fishing. Also, I couldn't think of a "catchy" audio name!
Abysmillard is a very minor character in Mark Helprin's "Winter's Tale." I love the play on words within the name as well as the way the relcusive nature of the character matches my own personality. I've used this handle on various boards for many years.
What a wonderful thread! I started this a long time ago, how ever when the turmoil ruled it was deleted(part of the old site news section) so a great time to touch base with an important and curious topic. I am the Tireguy or so my license plate says, I have a fondness of those black round little things, sigh.... And I have heard it all including Tiredguy and the like ;) nothing catchy to it unfortunately no mystery. Where I live I am known as Tim The Tire Guy and am afforded rights of being a small time celebrity-I am my own biggest fan :) keep them coming there's more then a few(monikers) I am curious about!
