I picked my username because I wanted it to be just like my older bros name, which is bastula btw...

Honestly, I don't know what bastula is, but he does, so just ask him.

zbalat is a shortened version of Z-Balata which was my favorite golf ball when I discovered the internet.

I used AOL's free month for a few months in a row and had to change my screen name each time so my screen name progressed like so:

zbalata100
zbalata90
zbalata
zbalat

AgaBooga

Its a shortened version of AgaBoogaBoo

I pretty much got sick of trying to use a name and it was already taken. Then I just made this name up. Before that, I made up lists of names but it finally struck me, AgaBoogaBoo! AgaBooga is used for forums where there is an 8character limit on usernames

Very old TV series with a Cessna 310 in it. I fly one myself, I'm sure most of my retirement has gone out the tailpipes...:)

I don't really remember... Although I've had this SN since 8th grade.
I guess Placebo (the band) had a song called "Pure Morning" that was really popular at the time. It also could mean innocuous... or pretty substanceless (which I felt during the time).
13 represents bad luck and 9 was code for this girl I liked in the 8th... kinda lame, but it means badluck with that particular girl.

:D

I wanted my user name to be Bob, but it was already taken. So, then I tried superbob, and it was also taken. Finally, I found ultimatebob, which is the coolest "Bob" name EVER! :)

Very creative, isn't it? ;)

Don't most college create a username in the same creative way? :D
