Why'd You Choose Your Username and What's It Mean?

[TheBizMan]

I have always had one or more side businesses going and when my friends would see me coming, they would say "Here comes the biz man" and it stuck. I have been building it as a brand on the internet for many years. I copyrighted it about six years ago.

[chorizon]

Joshua,

Someone called you a big plump sausage. Chorizon bigger than a chorizo. Hmmmm, this might be slang for something else.

Maybe I should change my name to "Smilin' Bob", that guy from the Enzyte commercials!

[iOpine]

Mine's iOpine 'cuz I can't seem to keep my opinions to myself, no matter how unpopular they may be.
(One such opinion is that Apple products are superior, so I own an iPod and an iMac and an iBook...)

[MushCreek]

Mush Creek is the area in the upstate of SC where our property is. We plan to build there in the next year or so. We'll be going from 1/6 of an acre here in FL to 7 acres and a mountain view in SC. Think of all the toys I can have on 7 acres....

[High Desert]

mine's fairly straight forward, it's just the region I live in. Used variations of it for awhile on the web. Not exactly inspired thinking I know, but it's easy for me to remember

[queeniejeanne]

OK so Queenie Jeanne was bestowed upon me when I was elected to the City Council back in the nineties here in Branson . I walked into a local restuarant (the owner had been on council many years prior) he bowed very low and said "All hail Queenie Jeanne, our new alderman". Guess you had to be there but everyone laughed their tails off and it was to my liking. I was a cop for 12 years here and vowed to do the community service stint after I left law enforcement in Branson. Spent 6 years & got voted off but the handle stuck. Have always used it as internet name and on coffee mugs, lol. I have been a recovering alderman for about four years.

[atkryder]

"Atkryder"
I used to race cross county atvs my last race quad and by far the favorite was a ATK.

[Dagny]

I went to a Norwegian Heritage camp for 10 yrs as a kid. (language classes, soccer, viking sports, crafts...) Loved it. You got a passport, exchanged your money, got checked at customs for contraband and they gave you a Norwegian name. Mine was Dagny (means New Day) for all 10 years. Named my youngest Sonja (name of queen of Norway whose mother's name is Dagny) My years there helped my get 20 free college credits for foreign language.

I was the reigning camp champ at leg wrestling and spear catching. Thought that would get a few laughs.

For anyone interested there are 15 different language villages in Bemidji, MN hosted by Concordia College. http://www.concordialanguagevillages.org/newsite/

[Gunswinger]

I began metal detecting when I turned 50 and almost everytime I went out to detect I would find a toy cap gun. So my friends started calling me gun-
swinger. Gun for all the toy cap guns and swinger for the action of swinging a detector coil. So I started using that as my internet handle. Then I found my avatar picture and thought it fit the handle. My first name is Bernie and I go to church so my CB handle was Saint Bernard....
