I was in meteorology when I joined the site. I didn't finish in it and know just enough to be dangerous but also smart enough not to interject much of an opinion in most weather threads for fear of misleading from the real guys.

No, not because of the Pontiac GTO.

My initials: Georgios T******* O*****. Nothing too exciting.

I'm a grown *** man with a white collar job that enjoys Adult Swim. If I were to have joined today, Mr. Pickles would have given Tommy a run for the money.

I have other usernames elsewhere but I wanted something ISU related when I signed up here, so I just came up with it on the spot.

An assistant coach on my high school football team was a huge, fat, black dude. He told me that all CEOs have two first names. My first and last name are both first names. Everytime I would make a tackle he would yell my entire name followed by CEO.

I have yet to become an actual CEO unfortunately.

Got into an arguement under a different name about Charles Boozer getting ready to commit. He said i didnt know anything and that we were not even recruiting Boozer. He commited the next day to us. I got banned for something i said in the internet fight. So i changed my screen name to knownothing.

HitItHard because it's in the fight song and matches my style in the bedroom. 58 was my high school football number. Yeah I just referenced sex and high school football. Clearly I'm pretty ******* cool.

Someone on another website's message board was having a hilarious argument about fat people and corn syrup...so I just randomly picked that...but every once in a while some agri-business person will jump down my throat for not respecting corn products.

My 'dawn of the interwebz' ISU message board username was EustacianTube.
