Excluding the obvious ones, what does everyone`s Autopian username mean.

The Yo in YoSteve came from my sprint Cell Phone #. When asked by the salesman what I wanted the last 4 digits should be on my cell #, I picked 7838 or STEV. The first 3 digits were 596 (which I had no choice), and couldn`t spell anything with it. Eventually I figured out 96 is YO so I settled upon 5-Yo-Stev(e) for my cell phone number and that`s what I tell everyone. YoSteve eventually became the domain name for my website

The family that has YoS-teve for a phone number gets some calls directed towards me.

Some years ago, I was setting up a hotmail address for myself and settled on footlight@.......

Footlight came from the name of a cat that we had at the time. Footlight the cat was named after the True Type font of the same name. When I started visiting Autopia, I used my "Footlight" e-mail address, and "Footy" for my user name.

Footy the cat is currently causing scratchmarks somewhere in the great beyond, but has left plenty of descendents on earth (in my backyard) to carry on his work.

Everyone on the fire department has a nickname. My name is Ron. The guys started calling me Ronzo, then Gonzo Ronzo, then just Gonzo. 0903 is my employee number with the City.

On the fire related websites, I go by Captain Gonzo.

Here, It`s Gonzo0903.

Gonzo...it`s not only a nickname, it`s a state of mind!

Koyaanisqatsi- Its a hopi indian word meaning life in turmoil. I am not indian just liked the word. Francis Ford Coppolla made a move by the same name. It was 2 hours of some of the wierdest footage I have ever seen. The word just stuck in my head. When it came time to change to this forum it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Now I feel really stupid. My handle is my car...

**edgewise** · 10-08-2001, 07:38 AM

Long story short: Grew up on a farm in Minn. and mom/sisters raised quarter horses for a hobby, I used to break them in once they finished with the tether/halter/bareback pad regiment(since I was the lightest). This one particular mare decided to throw me onto a barbed wire fence,the way I landed was awkward, with legs straddled on a newly stretched section, which required 11 stitches in my scrotum. Dad came home from work that day and said "Looks like you had a ripsnortin` good time!" The name stuck, the barbed wire did not. I still hate horses to this day. Pisses me off when I see a city boy with a cowboy hat on...makes me inclined to walk up to them and yell "Did ya earn that hat?!?"

I drive a Lincoln, and it looks like it just rolled off the Showroom Floor (minus the dealer installed swirls

) hence my name, ShowroomLincoln.

**JonB** · 10-08-2001, 09:18 AM

Well my initials are H.F. which serve as the suffix to my handle. As for the the rest....suffice it to say that it is a nickname that my wife has given me despite my average height and weight.

H :up

**TortoiseAWD** · 10-08-2001, 09:36 AM

"Tortoise" is a nickname that`s stuck with me from grade school (a description of my blinding physical speed). "AWD" stands for "All-Wheel Drive"; I`ve been an AWD turbo freak for about 10 years now. There`s nothing quite like an AWD launch to stretch your grin from ear-to-ear

I am a baby boomer who traded in his Caprice and his minivan for a Camaro when his younger child started college. She is now a senior. Mid-Life deals with my age (soon to be 51) and my cruiser is my Camaro when it`s all shined up.
