For Fun - Care to share how you chose your user name?

Very cool. One of my sons got a D-2 scholly to play lacrosse in the mid-Atlantic area, but the COVID pandemic rained on that parade.
So sorry.. that sucks. My son is playing D2 in the South. He is a freshman.
 
was during the time of the h1n1 virus going around, and playing cod, and thought it be funny to put "h1n1viruz" cause it say "you were killed by h1n1viruz" and well it just stuck with me, main email, usernames, etc....
So i just stick to it, feels weird if i use different username, like ... "that wasn't me... that was Patricia"

Since reading Beowulf in high school I always try to get this a my user name. I liked the story and the name.
 
I am an avid cigar smoker. Probably average 20+ cigars per week. Locally, I am known as the cigar Don (godfather). Ligero is a type of cigar leaf (the strongest of cigar leaves). So naturally put that together as Don Ligero. 🙂

Clever! I learn something new every day. Tobacco farms were very prevalent in CT and there are still many. Perhaps some of your ligero leaves come from here. It made me sad when a huge tobacco field, along with the accompanying distinctive barns, where razed and replaced by an humongous Amazon complex.

So actually, one of the more prominent tobaccos for cigars is called Connecticut shade. Where ligero is the top leaves that get the most sun which makes them really strong, CT shade is actually grown in the shade (mesh above it). Less sun, makes for a milder, sweeter tobacco leaf. (useless stats for the day). 🙂

Not at ALL useless! The man who raised me grew up a tobacco farmer in Tennessee. Visits to Grandpa's tobacco fields and the drying/smoking sheds were a beloved feature of my childhood.
Your comment brought back tender memories - thank you for that Don.

I drive by tobacco fields all the time. Some are grown in the shade and some are not. I have friends whose older siblings grew up working those fields. I think that is no longer the case as most of the youth of today are not enticed by back-breaking labor under the sun for low pay.
 
It aired in the late 70’s and early 80’s as well. Lol. I’m not that old yet. 🤣
Hmmm…this would include my age bracket but I don’t recall it. Maybe it’s because of my age.🤣 I’ll have to google it.
 
What a great thread! I’ve read most but not all yet. I often wonder why someone chooses a particular username that’s unique.

As for my username, I was on Reddit a lot at the start of my journey that led me here. I remember a moderator on the Mounjaro subreddit had the username of Weezer Jefferson, and I loved it. So when I joined this forum and another, I chose another character from 70s television…Mrs. Roper from Three’s Company.

I was on a cruise last week and saw someone dressed as Mrs. Roper for 70s night. I thought…ha! I’m doing that my next cruise.😂😂

It’s Hogan’s Heroes. I saw someone else’s comment and that was it. Finally…mystery solved.😂😂
Woohoo!
