What does your username mean?

[dbacks fan]

Godboko71, I'd wondered how you came up with yours.  I'd love to know where Michael71 came up with his "71".  I doubt there's many other forums on the interwebs with three members who have 71 as the last two digits of their handle.  The reason #71 became my favored number in the first place was a racing hero of mine.  I think Breadburner might still remember who that was.

Neil Bonnett or Dave Marcis?

Company I worked for when I signed up used first initial + last name for email so Scott Grizzle = sgrizzle here.

My username is an early AOL address.  I used to be active in theater doing stage and lighting design.  My girlfriend at the time (a graphic artist) was using DesignIdea so I went with StageIdea.

Thinking back I guess 71 wasn't as random as I thought, my uncle used to do motocross (4444) anyway someone else (name escapes me) I used to follow back then was number 71.

Neil Bonnett or Dave Marcis?

Mike Peters, Tulsa Speedway 1975 Modified champion.  He had a long and productive career in supers and sprint cars after moving up the following year.  I think he was still active until a few years ago and may even still race every now and then.

I didn't run off any of the women....but who did? Sheesh...any minorities?

Where's Guido come from?

Self explanatory: Nathan Mills.

I used to register to almost everything with a pseudonym, but I largely stopped that a couple of years back, although I still use it on a bunch of other forums and a pseudo-homophone on twitter and some other social networkingish sites.

I've posted a lot of stupid stuff under that pseudonym, but I have a good excuse: I started using it when I was 14 in the early days of the Internet.

Back in the early 1980s, I worked at a movie theater which sold these bizarre triangular shaped push up frozen icee sorta thing and they were either made by or called "Guido's". I ate tons of those over one summer, so much so people started calling me guido. My undergrad college buddies still call me that today. Pretty lame I know.

Mine's a remnant of my first AOL e-mail address, way back in the Ice Age (and dial-up access).

It was computer-generated, because an e-mail address using my full name wasn't available.

It's boring, but that's the story.

I wish I could remember the name of the guy that lived behind me that raced every weekend at the speedway.  It might have been one of the Hahn's (I went to elementary school with a kid with that last name and remember him being related to Emmitt).
