How'd you select your username?

I'm not that creative, I guess... :roll:

My initials...

 

[ctenidae]

Habit. 10 years ago when I set up a Yahoo account, I wanted something that didn't have a zillion numbers after it, so I picked up the Audubon Field Guide to North American Insects, flipped through until I found a cool one, and bing- ctenidae is the genus name for Wandering Spiders. Been my login for everything ever since. Only one around, as far as I know.

 

[Max]

LOL...that's cool. Until today I always thought you were E. Nidae from Connecticut!

 

[ctenidae]

There have been many interpretations- lots of people have tried to figure out what the C-10 Idea is.

At first I thought it was "CT any day", thinking you were some freak from Boston with an odd fettish for all things Connecticut. :roll:

Mine comes from a mix up with the uniform company at work. My boss must have just given them my first name, and Uni-1st just tacked Smith on the end. The "smitty" nickname only stuck for a while at work, so I figured I'd keep it alive on the good ol' WWW. The 77 is the number of my favorite (now former and retired) Boston Bruins player.

Now you know....

Mine's not very original either, but I'm not gonna tell how I came up with it...

My last name.

Are you M.C. Hammer? 8)

Girl, live in the NEK (Northeast Kingdom, VT)

 

[BeanoNYC]

My two biggest fears in life is drowning (thats why I became a lifeguard) and farting in yoga class. I take a lot of Beano before I exercise. It was a user name I've had for a long time, so it just stuck. If I could change it now, I probably would.

 

[awf170]

my initials, first used it when i was in 5th. The numbers are there because awf wasnt available on AOL, kinda wished i just cut the stupid numbers off when i didnt need them...

 

[Brettski]

Street Hockey....

I wasn't very good, so they used to give me a hard time....so they called me Brettski (ie Gretsky)..I guess because I was very...ummm enthusiastic...this is all before I started to ski

I am a much better (ICE) hockey player now....much better...(OK, maybe a little slower)

EDIT: Which was a LONG time ago...it has since been reduced to just "ski"

 

[Stephen]

One when I was a kid, I put my foot down on a chicken.

 

[thetrailboss]

College nickname

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

I'm a fan of Clint Eastwood movies. Whiteface is in the High Peaks of the ADKs.

High Planes Drifter - took out Planes and put in Peaks.

 

[noski]

Pretty obvious, or at least I thought so until someone thought I was a snowboarder living in the MRV. And, no, I don't prefer skiing at Mt Ellen (aka Sugarbush North). If you ever see me on skis it will only be because I had stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. I am, however, a good FOS (friend of skiing).

Nope...but it's not the first time I've been asked. :wink:

 

[Paul]

None of you would ever believe it...

 

[pedxing]

Because I look just like the guy on the sign!

(Actually it's my trail name, and that's another story)

 

[Brettski]

Whiteface is in the High Peaks of the ADKs.

Whiteface is more than that...it's the highest vert in the east...ok, let's not discuss long run outs....kmart can make 6 trails out of 1....
