Clever. A Hoya is also a plant. Hoya Sulawesii. People collect those too.

My handle is derived from the fact that I am both an avid cyclist as well as an avid collector of cards form the era (1950s-60s) that was likely the most popular era to have had kids put cards into their bicycle spokes. You will find no cards in any of my spokes though.

[moeson]

A tribute to my late dad who was generous with both time and money in supporting my passion for the hobby.

Yours is one of my favorites!
Mine is pretty self explanatory. I love Campy for overcoming the struggles in his life, both before and after the accident.
Great thread.

[The Nasty Nati]

Nothing crazy, "Nasty Nati" is a nickname for Cincinnati, and I grew up there.

[Bestdj777]

Someone hacked my eBay account many years ago and changed my username to "Bestdj777." I am not a DJ, and, if I was, I probably wouldn't the best. But, I wanted to keep my Net54 username consistent.

[sycks22]

Last name / number in baseball

[Econteachert205]

I teach economics (and history) and love t205's

[JollyElm]

Since I was a kid, no one has ever called me Darren. It's always been Elm or Elms, which is short for Elmo, a nickname I acquired for no rational reason whatsoever. Jolly Elm is a play on the Jimmy Buffett song, "Jolly Mon."

[cardsfan73]

I am a Cadinals fan and I was born in 73... not very original I know

[T2069bk]

Mine comes from the first prewar set I started collecting combined with it's first year of issue and at the time my girlfriends initials, I used it to create my ebay ID and kept it for here.

My ebay id has since changed to t2069bs as we got married 15 years ago!!

[Jim65]

My name is Jim and I was born in 1965

[71buc]

The 1971 Bucs were the coolest and most diverse group of men my 8 year old eyes ever saw. They still are. My user ID reflects that opinion.

This is predominantly a pre-war place, but what would you think of a "Best MLB Afro of the 70s" thread?

Most times when asked, I usually reply that "bleeding hemorrhoid" was already taken.

Funny.

Amazingly coincidental, a year after I started cheering for Tech, M&Ms came out with a plush toy in their "Swarmees" line called "Yellin' Yellow". Does it look like me?



Here is one of myself during those college years:

If it was me, I mighta kept the yellow hat pic to myself. But that's just me.

I stayed at the Moore Hotel a few years back. They were playing the Moore Theater. I'm a Pearl Jam guy, myself.

[HercDriver]

I was a long time C-130 Hercules pilot in the USAF. I did 23 years, flying Hercs for 13 of them.

[fkm_bky]

In 2000 I tried to get University of Wisconsin vanity plates with FKM BKY. Translates to Fu#% Em Bucky. Unfortunately the one smart person at the DMV saw it and nixed the idea. It then became a common interweb user name for me.
