It's a song by Ween.

And the avatar is me.

 

[JohnFoxeSheets]

I'd give you a coupla guesses, but you seem smarter than that ?

 

[Gimme_my_MME]

I live in a neighborhood named Highland Meadows, the HOA map shows us as lot 58. I got tired of the old username and wanted something obscure.

Except now we all know where you live!

[Maquis]

When you say “Mach-E“ to a Trekkie, they immediately think “Maquis.”

 

[Doug&Julie]

The only mystery to my username is...is it Doug or Julie responding to a thread?

 

[Murse-In-Airy]

I am a male nurse. Sometimes referred to in the derogatory as a Murse. After a decade in Emergency Medicine, I have been working as a flight nurse in helicopters for about 13 years now. So I am often a Murse in the air. I also do a lot of travel and extra stuff to earn money, so a bit of a Mercenary too. I like the double entendre.

Is it too soon to declare this our winner?

 

[Ford_orr]

Mine is pretty basic: car brand (Ford) + nickname (orr) = Ford_orr. And it rhymes, sort of.

I too had considered using a Visigoth barbarian general, but couldn't find one that rhymed with "orr" ?‍

 

[HuntingPudel]

Just a jumble of words that mean nothing to me whatsoever?

Must go, tempest fugit ?

Heh, @MellowJohnny brought up avatars. Mine is probably the world’s most famous fake GTO. It was a basic V8 1964 Tempest that saw lots of grocery getting. When GM banned all divisions other than Chevrolet from organized pro racing, the fools at Pontiac got together and turned the head engineer’s wife’s 7 year old car into their own privateer effort. Being that the Tempest wasn’t homologated and the GTO was, they just called the car a GTO. The press called it “The Grey Ghost” and that’s what it’s known as to this date. ??

I've been following pro cycling since the mid-80s, and when Lance Armstrong came a long I was a big fan. The leader of the Tour de France is awarded a yellow jersey each day to wear for the following day's stage. Lance was in yellow a lot. "Yellow Jersey" in French is "maillot jaune" - which when you try to pronounce with a really poor English accent sorta sounds like "Mellow Johnny".

When Lance travelled around France on the down-low, he would frequently check-in to hotels under the name "Mellow Johnny" - although I'm not sure that part is actually true , but I started using it online.

His bike shop in Austin is called...you guessed it, Mellow Johnny's https://www.mellowjohnnys.com/

My name is not Johnny, but I am fairly mellow

And the avatar? That's Iron Maiden's mascot, Eddie.

Only Canadians have airports as locations. Sad part is I know almost all of them by heart ???‍

 

[HughJazzol]

Mine should make you laugh, and it's a tribute to Riley Martin, who got prank-called with that name.
