    How did you choose your site name?

    This may have been posted already, but how did you choose your name?

    Mine is atgatt because I go on motorcycle forums and it stands for All The Gear All The Time. So it's my name on all the forums because it is easy to remember one, and at 56, the mind starts to go.

        Well, my name is Mike, I live in North Carolina and I like the Tarheels where I went to school and they recently won the National Title in B-Ball. I suppose I could have been more 'anonymous' about it but then... my cat, Frank, hit ENTER before I had a chance to contemplate it!!

          Used to drive a Cobra, moved to Reno. Liked the snake theme, so it fit. I go by it everywhere now.

                  Well, I'm nearly half Native American, Chiricahua Apache, or related in part from the Mescalero reservation ancestry. This is the relation back to Geronimo. From the age of about 12 I got this nickname from doing school reports on him, to sports < hockey, baseball, wrestling, and my wild group of friends > @ the age of 18 I got a very large tattoo of Geronimo on my left arm. Well now a days that's just one my nicknames. Birth name is Timothy, most call me Tim, others call me Geronimo.

                  If you don't know about the original Geronimo, he was one hell of a leader, medicine man, warrior, assassin, as well as father. He lived to 80 years old after fighting against decades of gun fire from Mexican and USA armies.




                  This is what is part of me.

                        It's the first syllable of my last name, although, somewhere along the way, an extra " f " was added. It's a nickname that everyone in my family (male and female) has been called for as long as I can remember. [It does get confusing during family get togethers]

                          You spin the stick, you smash the drum, and then you pop the stick in the air off the drum.....
                          Hopefully you catch it....
                          This was made up for youtube before I was into speed bagging. It has nothing to so with it. And I get a kick out of people calling me "Spin" online. It for some reason works....
                          BAG ON!

                            Geronimo, years ago I read a book on Geronimo and I'd be proud to be called that name too.
