Where does your user name come from?

Hi everyone,
I'm curious to know what's the story behind your user name (or Alias)... There are a bunch of people that use their name (of parts of it) like myself, Albert Porter, GerryM5, Esoler...

But where does user name like Cornfedboy, Garfish, Calloway, Tireguy, SwampWalker (and many many others) come from? Any story behind?

Just curious

back in the late 70's I had an EMT moving coil that had fairly low output and you could crank the volume(Gain) knob on my ARC pre all the way around and not clip the amp on most material. We called it visiting Max.

Supposedly pronounced oo-la-la, I chose mine during a manic moment, when I think the most bizarre things are funny, but I don't really remember exactly why 'Ohlala'. I think it was from those damn Tresemme shampoo commercials. It is a little amusing when people are forced to refer to me by that moniker. Stay cool, Pops.
