So I was having an interesting conversation with friends about email and internet over the years and this came up: Remember AOL and creating a username? Well that stuck around so you could post without your real name.

So then this started, “Why is your username the name it is”?

Kaloway: When AOL started I was (and still am) an avid golf fan, but I could not spell worth a crap. Callaway became Kaloway.

My username is for the greatest guitarist that ever lived…..he is the King!

Hence “King Edward”

Old AOL user name was bigmike5150, always been a big mofo & co-workers always & still do call me bigmike, the 5150 is obvious
when we left aol I decided on dokkendude, big dokken fan

Dutchie was the name of my dog who died about 10 yrs ago. She was a Shaffy Bull terrier.

I’ve always liked the anonymity of the internet. I’m a big Gilligan’s Island fan and I live on an island, so it seemed natural.

My favorite car since I was in high school is a Corvette. Been fortunate enough to own 5 different Vettes over the years, 2 of which were ZR1 Corvettes. So, I had ZR1fevr plates on one of them, couldn’t spell fever, not enough letters allowed in Ca. Corvette Fever was a great magazine I always purchased, that’s where the idea came from. Those were fun times indeed.

I thought your name was Gilligan…and you live on a big island!

Mine came from when Dave was talking during a song and he said lets “Cut to the crash ”

gnjamie … My other hobby is my ’87 Buick Grand National so it is pretty simple ..gn + my name

I used to work with this fat, ugly woman whose surname was “Guitard.” I had never heard that name before, but thought it had a nice rock ‘n roll sort of ring to it …

And as for “Silver Stallion” — that’s a carryover from my illustrious career in porn. Yeah ~~ Right~!! Actually many years ago I had a bit role in a Korean movie titled Silver Stallion. When I started filming shows and authoring DVDs, my mentor told me I needed to come up with a nickname. I never foresaw this becoming my main hobby – I figured it was just something I’d dabble in for a bit. I looked around my computer room and saw the tape copy of that movie, and decided on “Silver Stallion.” It sounded kind of silly and whimsical at the same time — perfect for a nickname that would soon go out of use and be forgotten. Damn . . . if I had only know . . .

And here I thought you were a retarded guitarist and a Ford Mustang fan!

Long before usernames and emails, when I would make a tape for someone (non-traders) I would put “A Steecoe Recording” or “A Steecoe Production” on there somewhere below the song titles.
My name is Steve Cole, drop the v & the l, cram the two together & wham bam Steecoe.

My username is the reverse of NOR. What the hell does that mean you ask? Hell, I don’t know, but it sounded good in my head.

My username sucks.

Must have took the longest of anyone to come up with your username!

It’s no worse than mine, Ron. Maybe it took a second longer to come up with, though.
