Story behind your posting name?

[Tri Girl]

I do triathlons. I'm not very creative.

I've had fun reading everyone's stories.

[evangundy]

"e" is my first initial and "vangundy" is my last name

yah, I know, not very original

I had a bag of okra in my freezer for the longest time that made a fantastic ice pack after some rides. I told my friend how frozen okra helped me keep riding, and she said, "Okra for the win!"

You know, I figured that out long ago (you often sign your posts with your first name), but for some reason my first instinct is always to read your name as "Evan Gundy."

[Aggie_Ama]

My grandson named me Ama. His mother is called Mandy! (Although her real name is Miranda.)

I know I've said this before.

Karen

When I was kid I wanted to be called Mandy, until I had a friend with a sweet chocolate lab named Mandy. Now I associate it as a dog's name.

My nieces call there grandmas Oma but when they were little it was always Ama. For some reason the O was a hard sound for both of them.

[katluvr]

Guess it is pretty obvious.... I love cats! (currently have 5 and would have more if I could!) This was a user name I created back when I first was on AOL...it sticks and I remember it.

(I sign w/ "K" as that is my first inital of my real name and also of my posting name)

I had just gotten my first tin of badger balm in England, and there's also a Badger Inn not too far from my boyfriend's place. And I think they're cute

I LOVE them! I have quite a few now as a local health food warehouse has open public market on Saturdays and have been selling them dirt cheap (who can say no to $1 tins??) I can't possibly use them all but it's fun trying them

[macski]

My last name is Scottish in heritage beginning with "Mc" hence the Mac. And I love to ski. I guess I could have been macbike for this forum

[itself]

The story behind "Itself." I had a cat named Popcorn, he didn't particularly like his name. So I started kidding around with him calling him "The kernels itself." For some reason, "Itself" stuck. He was a tan buff boy whom I have very fond memories of. He passed in 1998...he was such a good boy..

[indigoiis]

I gots big blue eyes.

[Owlie]

It was a nickname my friend gave me in 5th grade...

[moonfroggy]

i have a pet frog named moonfroggy i like the name heard it once and forgot i heard it gave the name to the frog then used it as a handle online then remembered that someone in high school had a friend named moonfroggy.

[indysteel]

I missed this thread back in May, but found it in an effort to answer somebody's question about changing their screen name.

Indysteel refers to Indianapolis, which is where I lived when I first joined. I was/am rather independent, so there was that, too. Steel refers to my steel Bianchi.

In September of 2009, I moved to a town a bit south of Indy, and was riding a titanium bike that the time. FranklinTi just didn't do it for me though. Now I'm back to the Bianchi, too, but FranklinSteel also sounds stupid. I'll just stick to Indy/Indysteel.
