Where did your user name come from??

[Mustang]

pgoat, your name was one of those that had me wondering and got me to bumping this thread.

 

[pgoat]

Mine is just a slightly more naughty version of my stage name, which is Miss Bella Inferno. I wanted to change it to Bella Hell but the other girls wouldn't let me! Oh, well.

Goodness! What is your stage act, may we know? I am conjuring flashbacks to Comedy Central's Viva Variety or scenes from a film called Roadside Prophets......

 

[pgoat]

also freaky deaky!

I just made it up.

LD, while reading your post, Billie Holliday (singing "Embraceable You") came on an old mix tape I made around 1990.

 

[pgoat]

I'm a comic book fan so mine comes from what Billy Batson says to turn into Captain Marvel. I'm also a fan of Gomer Pyle so it comes from there too.

I just finished reading Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey - a must read for you (If you haven't already), as your user name is central to the plot.

 

[pgoat]

I am usually a very calm person, except when I start swing dancing. One of the instructors a few years back saw me and how crazy and happy I get when I dance, and he screamed out to the leads, "Watch out for that Bad Mama Jama!"

After that, I discovered the Stevie Wonder song, and that sealed the deal.

you still get my vote for best screen name, B M J

 

[pgoat]

Thank you for your service Twitch. You're service during an unpopular time is very often the most overlooked and I wish to extend my eternal gratitude and appreciation.:eusa_clap

here here. I am a dove, btw, but appreciate what every serviceman/woman does. You earned your screen name and then some. thanks

I also use it on other sites - I have gotten asked whether it was because of something called 'infinite jest' - a computer game, mayhaps? I ferget......

 

[AmateisGal]

amateis is a beautiful name.

Thanks, Ada Veen! fftopic: We're an Italian family, but supposedly our name is Old French. Since we're from the Piedmont Region in Northern Italy where the French House of Savoy was, that may offer a clue. I'm trying to do some family history, but knowing Italian sure would help.

 

[KilroyCD]

My screen name comes from the living history group I'm co-founder of. While trying to find a name suitable for a group that does Civilian Defense impressions, I came up with "Kilroy's Homefront Commandos" after seeing an item in my collection with "Kilroy Was Here" on it. Since then, in our neck of the woods, I have become known as "Kilroy" to just about all of my reenactor friends. I followed that up with my initials, which coincidentally are the same as Civilian Defense.

 

[SamMarlowPI]

Robert Sacchi's character in The Man With Bogarts Face...a play off of Bogarts most famous characters: Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe...i took a liking to it

 

[JEEP]

Mine is quite straight-forward; my name is Jakob Elb?¶k Egegaard Pedersen, so JEEP are simply my initials


/Jakob

 

[sweetfrancaise]

My user name is a play-on-words of the novel Suite Francaise that my friend did inadvertently. I liked it, anyway!

 

[Helen Troy]

My username is from an Nero Wolfe novel, it's the name of a secretary or something that is very aware of and tired of the pun in her name.
I like Nero Wolfe, I like greek history, I loooooooove puns. So that has been an alias for me at several occations.

 

[Foofoogal]

I actually started here under another name and then changed it along the way when I opened my foo foo vintage store. You know girly foo foo stuff. I have since shut that store down for now and combined my clothing with my main inventory store which one can see on my profile.

Ciao Paisan! My family is from Emilia Romagna.

 

[Leutnant]

Leutnant is German for Lieutenant, my rank at the time I selected it (some time ago...lol) and I have used it ever since...

 

[hotrod_elf]

Mine is a combination of mine and my husbands hobby and my initials. Because I am a HOTROD GIRL.

 

[oldmansit]

My dog Oldman (Beautiful Black Labrador). He has passsed on to greater things. He got his name because every time he sat down he grunted like an oldman. When he was a puppy and sat or lay down he grunted and I thought "you sound like an Oldman", so that was what I named him. I used to say Oldman sit (he would sit). I hate show my vunerable side but I miss him very dearly.
