Theres a lot of weird and wonderful usernames on the forum - where did yours come from?
Mine is a cross between Samurai (because of their dedication and commitment!) and Triathlon, hence Samutri. My real name is Richard, far less interesting

i thought that was the silliest id ever look untill i tried on my first tri suit lycra and bellies dont go.
mat
aka starcher
As you can see, I became a bit of a bore on the subject, and to my coworkers the name 'Bopomofo' became an obvious tag. Besides, it was an in joke, and also sounds a bit, umm, rude and aggressive - which probably suits me too. [:D]
I use the same name pretty much everywhere on-line.
Now, to make the coincidence even bigger, the name on my pasport also says 'benny'. it must be fate I guess. [8|]
As for bopomofo, I thought it was def something rude but couldnt work out what a 'bopo' was!!
is from the film 'pulp fiction'. The scene at the end where the couple are holding up the diner and they are beginning to lose their never. Samuel L Jackson who is being asked for his wallet and is trying to calm them down...says to the women...'what is fonzy'....she says 'cool' ....right,right...we are going to be like 3 little fonzys...
or something along those lines!
Made me laugh....

cheers
... yep we made our own entertainment in them there dark days!
I'm not sure but I suspect that makes me like a geek squared...
Instead, I picked Tiring Tri ing, mainly because it was late at night and I was really struggling to think of something interesting or amusing. I failed on those counts, so just picked a name that mixed up Triathlon, Tiring and Trying, which sort of summed up the key components. Alternatively, it may just be because any of my friends who have the misfortune to hear me bleat on about Triathlon find me both tiring and very, very trying.
Simply its Tommi cos my name is Tom and favourite band was/is black sabbath, Hence Tommi as in Tommi Iommi, was called this as a kid.
Not sure where the Tri bit comes from.
TBH it's fit for the bin but having only started training at the age of 38 (2 yrs back) having been a total paar-tay boy for most of my adult life, I keep it to keep me off the sofa and out of the pie-box.
The phrase 'be as you are' is written on the back - still trying to figure out if I am a total slacker or not.
2 marathons, an oly and a HIM last year and 3 HIM's and marathon this year seem to suggest otherwise.
but the name will stick until I've done my IM.
Yes I am no spring chicken he he.
Off to fight some Demons now!!! ha ha.
I have had the Tash for most of the last 25 years. It might have been a bit shorter when I was in the services and it did get shaved off about 15 years ago for charity and again about 5 years ago 'cos herself wanted to see me without it (back again in 2 weeks but you could see the shape after 2 days).
well mine is obvious... I'm a proud bristolian and was a newbie when i registered!!... not much thought went into it ufortunatley! my nick name is better.... its 'photodelic'... someone once commented on a photo of me ane said i was very 'photodelic' not photogenic! us bumpkins aren't so bright!
I chose it for my forum name because it would remind me that I really was going to prove them all wrong this time, by sticking to the exercise and reaching my goals. I also find it a great motivator when I have had a few bad training sessions because it reminds me that I really am Super, because of all that I have achieved so far.
But I still can't stick to a plan. Training plans usually last about 2 weeks before I ditch them. However, doing whater training I fancy at the time is a strategy that works well for me, and four years later I am still here!
A simple google picture search might reveal the answer,but I guess that is not what your students call you!!!!!!
