    mine was because i couldn't come up with anything interesting and i signed up here very shortly after my sister and b-i-l rode in the livestrong challenge. our team name can be seen on the sketch of our jerseys in another thread.

    hence my rather boring name. but then again, i've never been very creative at board names, why change now.

    I wrote an "Excursion" column for my newspaper (regular columnist flaked on me) about commuting to work 10 miles with studded tires at 10 below zero. I said something to the effect of how frigid it was when in the shade of the hill, and when the sun came over the butte "it felt like a climax."

    A smarta$$ acquaintance wrote a letter to the editor saying he had bicycled for fitness, transportation and enjoyment for 30 years but never had a climax, maybe he should "ask the CyclaSutra" how.

    My editor banned the word "climax" from an excursions after that. But I thought it was hilarious.

    My username was SUPPOSED to be BunkeyB which is the name of my Grandmother's amazing parakeet which used to say "hello, my name is Bunkey Bartholomew" among other things.
    Never thought of this before... but are you related to Kayleen from Bellingham? (Kileen, Kailein, gawd, how does one spell it...)

    This is my favorite explanation so far. Queen's is a very close second.

    Popoki = cat in Hawai'ian. Nui means 'big', 'many', 'great' throughout Polynesia. I'm big and adore cats (I also have, and have had many cats), hence....Popoki Nui. Elsewhere in the Pacific, cat is "Pusi". Pusi Nui just sounded.....wrong somehow.

    edit; not Polynesian myself, but i've travelled some out there and love to study the culture and languages.

    I reside in the Pacific Northwest...hence the name. At the time (about a dozen forums ago), I thought it was kind of trite. Now, I kind of like it and have included it into my business name.

    Heh. I call my interesting femme parts the "No No Good and Plenty". So naturally I laughed out loud at work when I read this.

    Funny you say that: I didn't add that I am supposed to be topless in this stained glass portrait. So now that you mention it.
    I enjoy it all.

    That's awesome! I never suspected, you rascal!

    I'll never forget how hard I laughed when I finally figured out what MM_QFC's name meant.

    My username is just a contraction of my name (Diane) with a favorite book character (Ayla).

    Probably not. My husband and I are from Indiana originally. There are a lot of Laura Elmores out there (and Brians too) and it seems like someone's always looking for a "lost" Laura E where ever I go.

    trinena - tri because i fell for triathlon tho' i've only done one but definitely plan for more. and ya that whole play on tri and try. nena because it's a term of an endearment/affection in spanish derived from girl/daughter (niña) used in families and with significant others. i like the blending of the two qualities.

    SheFly - I like to think that I can go faster than I can . This name came to me out of the blue one day, and I've been using it since. On other forums, I'm known as MrsCouch - DH is CouchingTiger (aka Couch). The funny thing is that he hardly sits still...

    I'm orginally from the South, and most Southerners say "aunt" as aint--at least in my part of the South. I had a great, great aunt who was called Aint Doody. I can't even remember her real name now. There was a story about a cousin saying, "Oh, Aint Doody, I luv you!" So when I got my Pilot in 2005, all I could think of was, "Oh, Aint Doody, I luv you!" The bike became Aint Doody, but I shortened it to Doody, and I became Aint Doody.

    Later when I looked at it, I thought--Hmmmm, this could be translated into meaning "not sh.."
    Tis better to wear out than to rust out....
