I was not a Cyclone fan when I signed up. I signed up right around the time my brother signed his letter of intent on playing for ISU. Since I'm not a Cyclone fan, but was forced into this Cyclone family through association. I am therefore a Cy(clone)ByAssociation.

However, on just about every other board I've ever been on, I use the name SaulTBauls. This dates back to probably my sophomore year in High School. When AOL was what everyone used for the internet, it was not uncommon to get lots of spam email. One I got was from a SaltyBawls. I thought I could run with that. It was decent enough to get past most sites filters for explicit content, yet crude enough for most people to get it and smile a little the first time they saw it. Cyclonefanatic is, for the most part, the only forum site I use something other than SaulTBauls.

Played pick up ball when I was 12 to prob age 30 at Beyer Hall. State Gym too but this was decades ago and played with the Mayor many of times. He would dunk on me when he was in 9th grade..depressing.

While it is my actual name, I first saw this username in use by some random person in an MMO years ago. I liked it a lot and took it for myself.

Not telling but if someone guessed it I'd probably confess.

My name is NOT Dean, though I have a brother with that name.

The Mean part turns out to be pretty accurate, but merely coincidental/convenient.
