"jglowe74". mine is basically my initials, name & birth year. "J" for Josh, "G" for my middle-name-that-shall-remain-a-mystery, "Lowe" is my last name. and for some unGodly reason my family has always pronounced it like "cow" or "now". so it's never pronounced correctly. anyway, then there's "74" for the year i was born.

this is pretty much my standard username for EVERY blog/forum/website i use. geez, i hope no one figures out my passwords, or i'm screwed. i've said too much...

big9erfan - I'm a big fan for the 49ers. Regardless of how well, or not, they do.

I made the name back around July of 1999, since then I've been known as 9er online. *shrug* it stuck.

Many of you may be too young to remember BBSs, or Bulletin Board Systems. There was no internet, at least not for regular folks. We would dial in to these systems directly via their own phone numbers and YES sometimes long distance applied. Anyways on these systems, and in the early days, or AOL, CompuServe (anyone remember them), Prodigy, etc I would always use the name phillykid. And in the BBS days I really WAS a kid, and I was (and still am) from Philly. (I'm 46 now) Anyways at one point on AOL I lost the original phillykid name, and had to select something else. At the time I had a 640k DSL account, so I picked PK640k, PK being short for PhillyKid, which many folks would shorten it to anyways. Then I started changing it as I had different types of connections, BUT finally I just decided to stick with pkcable.

Like Alli, mine is also off of my license, followed by what EVERYONE says when I give them the correct spelling. ;) And like Ipheuria, "i" didn't think it through...

Now you're bringing back memories. I tell my kids about the early days of the Internet and they have no idea what I'm referring to. They cannot fathom pre-world wide web. Anyway, I was associated with Compuserve. I started out with a 300 baud external modem and I was very active on the bulletin boards. Heck, that's where the games were and any other stuff you were seeking. By the way, do you remember the Genie service? Anyway, in regard to my username, it is nothing special. D is the first letter of my first name but heck, almost everyone calls me D anyway so my universal signature is Just Me, D.

I've used acecommander ever since I got my first dial up email account free from juno.com. My wife and I rescue retired racing greyhounds, and one of them (Acecommander) was the last surviving son of a prolific and profitable sire named HB Commander. HB Commander sired over 4000 pups after a great racing career, and died before his time of a heart attack (go figure out why!)

We had Acecommander for over 10 years, and he was a regal, reserved, and loyal friend.

RIP

It's a Marine thing. 0300 is the MOS (military occupational specialty) for Infantry, and Grunt is just a term for an Infantryman in the Corps. Semper Fi, and Oorah!:D
