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 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
Mine is simply a derivation my name, Joseph Anthony Trelli.
A company where I used to work would just concatenate the first 4 letters of one's last name, initial of first name, and middle initial(if any) together. TRELli, Joseph Anthony -> TRELJA
Mine is my internic/ICANN id assigned to me when I registered the domain names for the websites I used to run. A little ubergeekish but my original username from the old BBS days was legion, which I took from a severed heads song but seemed to be already taken on most sites.
