I came up with mine on a whim, although I've never been crazy about it. Tried to think of something that had CY in it and for some reason the Def Leppard song "Are You Excitable" popped into my head. So I shortened it to ruxCYtable and went with it. I think it's kind of dumb though.

I have always read your screen name as rux - Cy - table and it made no sense to me. I'm an idiot.

For my name, Enhanded Fujita is the scale they use for the power of a tornado. Thought it was appropriate for a screen name on a Cyclone message board.

Your name always makes me hungry.

Every year when this thread comes up I feel compelled to reiterate;

1976 Earle Bruce unis are the best. You'll never change my mind.

I graduated from ISU in 2012... with an Accounting degree because obviously I'm not creative.

Was cychosis, but there was a cychhosis. It caused too much confusion when playing in the CF games, so I switched.

Most think mine comes from Professor Farnsworth from Futurama or the pitcher Kyle Farnsworth.

In reality it came from one drunken night in college. I needed a username to sign up to a popular off topic forum to comment on something at like 3 am one Saturday night. At the time I was watching an episode of Chapelle's Show where they were doing a parody of P Diddy's making the band. Anywho in the parody Chapelle comes down as Fonzworth Bentley holding his umbrella and dancing, and I drunkenly mistook his name as Farnsworth and went with it so I could make my late night post.
