What does your username mean?

mine's b as in brian, and jauqo IIIX called me thumper when I was playin' in his band like 15 years ago. We were jammin out one night and I guess I was gettin' way out there, and when we stopped he was smiling from ear to ear and said, man you're like that little rabbit running through the woods. I ended up with a tattoo of thumper playin' a jazz bass on my forearm and I don't even like tattoo's, I guess it stuck. Still that was a great experience.


Hey I remember that :) :)
 
I was in a band in the 70's and when the singer announced the band members he used to say..".And...at the Station of Thunder"..and then say my name. I just converted the spare bedroom into a sort of recording studio..when my current band asked if I was going to name it "Thunderstaiton" came out of my mouth.
 
My freshman english teacher would always say 'circle the wagons' when he wanted us to arrange our desks in the circle. One day, he said 'circle the snogaws!' instead, which is wagons backwards with an s tacked on the end. idk why, but it became the username i use.
 
Billy Zoom is the original guitarist of the legendary LA punk band X. Love them, love him.

My first name is William, so when I got into mountain biking and later Ducatis, I adopted the name as my handle for those forums, with the implication that I'm super fast. That is far from true, but I digress.

It does, however, make for a badass personalized license plate on my Duc. :)
