Mine is my nickname and the year I was born, but some aren't easy to figure out. I'm sure I know 25or6to4(Shane) but wonder,"Where did
CindyCinnamon come up with her name?

I was very involved in another ezboard fan site. One of the characters was "Lou" (Anyone remember "The Young Riders" series?). So
"NoraLou" I became there, and when I registered over here, the name followed. Boring, but effective!

I wanted a name of an obscure character from an episode, and one of my favorites is "A Coffin Too Frequent". So I said to myself, "Self, how
funny would it be to have the screen name of a dead guy that doesn't even appear in the episode?" Besides it's better than my other
choice..."Mr. Zero".

What would you name a band that consisted of.....
Davy Jones & Tom Jones on Vocals. Brian Jones on Rhythm Guitar. Steve Jones on Lead Guitar. John Paul Jones on Bass Guitar. Howard Jones on Keyboards. Kenney Jones on Drums. "Jonesounds",of course!

Good question, Mare.
Anyways, at the time I had a thee most boring screen name which was "thisizc". And one day, Frieda emailed me and in the email she told me she thought of a great new screen name for me. Which turned out to be, "Cindy Cinnamon". Eileen would refer to me as "CC", too. And so that's how I got my screen name. Oh and I found this doll on ebay....guess what her name is???

Yeah, my name is pretty obvious....and if it isn't check out my new signature I just started using and all will become clear. When I first signed up, I did
my best to try and come up with something clever that was Monkee-related. My email address starts with "idolthreat", (a tip of the hat to the Justus
version of "Circle Sky"), but I couldn't use that for some reason. Out of desparation after several different choices that wouldn't work, I
just tried the first thing that came to my mind, and 25or6to4 happened to be it. While it's not Monkees-related, it reflects another big, big music love in
my life...and y'all know that I think the world of the 'kees, so it's all good.

LOL, Shane, I thought your "IdolThreat" was because you were such an "American Idol" fan!

That would make sense. I've had that email long before AI turned into a phenomenon, though. I once had reason to correspond with Peter Noone (from
Herman's Hermits) too, and I won't even get into what he thought it was all about. But nope, check the new lyrics to "Circle
Sky"...you'll find it.

Cinniluwho comes in part from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (from Cindy Lou Who). "Cinni" is how my nieces and nephew pronounced my name
before they mastered the letter "d". My original screen name, as some of you probably remember, was "Tork Chick", and then a few years ago
I wanted something a little more generic (although I am still, and probably always will be, a Tork fan! ). When my youngest niece mastered the letter
"d", I was very sad, so Lucy started calling me "Cinni" to make me feel better.
 Then, at some point, I decided to combine
"cinni" with "cindy lou who" and, voila! - Cinniluwho was born!

Wow, lots of interesting stories! I can't believe there is a doll called Cindy Cinnamon! How funny! Well my screen name has been the same since I started
an AOL account many years ago. I just never changed it and use it for everything just simply because it was easy to remember!

Mine is pretty obvious, also. But it really means "I will love David forever."

I think mine says it all.
 However, I got "Petey" back about... oh, 8 years ago, when a friend of mine said I looked like Peter Tork. My real name
is Mary, but she started calling me Petey, and it stuck!

Actually,LMBT,my explanation of my username was a bit of my sense of humor. In all reality,Jonesounds was the name of the band I played in when I was in
school. I was a huge fan of Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones and a bandmate of mine was a fan of Davy Jones,so it kind of fit like that.

Thanks for the compliment on my signature, Ray! I've actually been debating coming up with a new one for awhile; just can't figure out what to
make!

I changed mine to something more recognizable, so people could remember my name MarnWeb - (Marnie) is my name. I like CindyCinnamon, I think its cute.
Shane's and some of the others are cool, too.

If I were American, I'd totally do the red white and blue!
 Maybe I'll have to do something for Canada Day (July 1st) in red and white. My friend Jen
made me the flashing 'Petey' sig years ago; I'm not even sure how she did it. I used to change my big signature pic (where Gary the snail is) for
the holidays and such, but I just haven't had the time to do a lot of my own computer artwork lately!

I had a really cool program that I made quite a few signatures with,but it started to cause problems with my burning programs and I had to delete it.
