I notice some pretty interesting usernames in the Outlaw forums. I think it would be interesting for folks to share some of the meaning behind their names. Any takers?
Harp795 = Last name Harper, 795 is my college fraternity (Lambda Chi Alpha) initiation number. Can't seem to let the good College years get too far away!!!

My roommates and I named my college computer "Gonk" because it looked like the droid in Star Wars by the same name (it was a 486 from late 1992 in a huge boxy tower, weighed a ton). I borrowed the name as a username at a computer game news site called ShackNews (back when it was ShugaShack) a year or two before Outlaw set up the saloon. ------------------ gonk -- Saloon Links | Pre/Pro Comparison Chart | 950 Review

Well, the "Broon" part comes from a once long time producer for my favourite band, RUSH. He was a good ol' Scotsman named Terry Brown but in his thick Scottish accent he pronounced it "Broon." A classical guitar intro to one of Rush's songs is called BroonsBane.
I've had several things in my life become the "bane" of my existence over the years and I won't bore you guys with the details so I just put the 2 of them together. I've been using BroonsBane for a long time now...almost my alter ego!
I like the name because both parts have some personal meaning for me.

It's actually the name of a song that mean to "seperate." Since I own Outlaw "seperates," I thought the name was fitting.

Broonesbane,
I love that song by Rush. I think it's the intro before the song "Trees". Great songs!

One of the first DVD's I got with really good surround was the Eagles - Hell Freezes Over DVD which has some very nice surround. When I needed a login to represent my new Outlaw status "Desperado" seemed obvious.
