Mine comes from a movie called Suicide Kings. Christopher Walken is in it as a mafia boss. At one point in the movie, he's calling out all the guys that kidnapped him, and he says one of the guys is a control freak... then says no, you're a control junkie. It pretty much fit me perfect because I have to try to be in control all of the time, so I first used that name as my XBL gamertag, and it stuck.

And it's cool to see another Pink Floyd fan on here too!

Made up the name "zegamorphos" for a MUD (text-based precursor to the MMORPGs of today) because it sounded good at the time (15 years ago). It was a bit long, though, so I shortened it, and zeg is a short nick that's usually available.

Heh. Mine was something I settled on for a MUD back in the late 80s/90s. Was playing a lot of Led Zep at the time. Only problem was other MUDders thinking my character was female!

Meddle = my favorite Pink Floyd album

Pretty cool. Animals for me but "Echoes" is an awesome track.

After retiring, I moved to Texas while my wife stayed behind to finish up the sale of our house. I found new work, bought a new house and moved everything in before my wife ever got here. So I was in Texas and flying "solo". It's been my user name on various boards for 3 years.

When I first started posting on messageboards back in 2006 I believe, they were fantasy football forums. I wanted to show with my name that I still loved the Jets above any fantasy bullshit that could easily ruin my enjoyment of the actual game if I let it. It's pretty lame, but I've kept it.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
