Default User names

Hey all,

I'm just curious about why some of you have the user names that you have. Some are pretty obvious (I.E. fortheloveofcrabs) but some are little more obscure. I'm wondering, and I bet many other 'normies' are too, of how and why the names came to be, so lets hear it!

Of course "Delphinus" is also a constellation, there's an obscure reference in Greek mythology about how a dolphin helped Arion to safety from a mutiny on his ship and in return was granted a celestial home blah blah blah .. http://www.heavens-above.com/myth.asp?con=Del

I think mine falls into the obvious category. But just in case, my first passion (and revenue pit) is motorcycles, specifically BMWs. My current ride is a 94 R1100RS.

Cool thread idea.

My name is a drum company. (Orange County Drum & Percussion) They make some bad ass kits, they can customize your kit to basically whatever it is you desire. One day soon here, I'll own an OCDP kit. Here's an example of the stuff they can pull off...




List Price: $2745 (for the ONE snare drum)

Why do I choose all the expensive hobbies?



Cheers,
Scott

SeaHorse_Fanatic will become famous soon enough
Talking

OCDP = Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Person That's what I thought it stood for.

I am (for 2 decades now) fanatical about seahorses.

However, I'm thinking of changing my user name to "Coral Ho" & changing my real name to Anthony Ho, instead of Anthony Shieh.
