I have been looking at everyone's screen names lately and there are some interesting names here. I was just curious as to what made you choose your name? I know that some of them are obvious, while others are much more subtle.
I'll start.
When I was in my teens/early 20's I had hair halfway down my back and was in a metal band. (Hey it was the late 80's...gimme a break!) Anyway, I wanted a promotion at work, so I cut off all my hair. I also traded in my POS truck and bought a new car. My buddies gave me all kinds of grief and accused me of selling out and wanting to be a yuppie. My best friend said I wasn't good enough to be a yuppie, and that I was only a guppie. The name kind of stuck and I have used it for my computer handle ever since. I often stick a 9 on the end as it is my lucky number.
Anyone else want to share???
