I wanted to make a pun off of someone's name on the basketball team last year, and this one was too funny not to use.
Whoa, you are old. (as am I, I guess..)
Janice was an alt I used while banned for a while. It's an homage to The Beastie Boys' "Ask For Janice".
Iowa State got a #2 seed the year that Fizer and Tinsley ran the show, which is also the year that I became a diehard Cyclone fan. Hence, No. 2 Cyclones.
Born from coincidences... I lived in Brooklyn, and am obviously a cyclone fan. Took a trip to Coney Island, rode on the Cyclone roller coaster and went to a Brooklyn Cyclones game(minor league baseball team, Logo is my long standing avatar).
It started as CycloneKC on the original DM Register message boards. When they changed formats, CycloneKC was "already taken", so it changed to KCClone, which many of the users read as KCCI one (it's KC Clone). They then assumed I worked for channel 8.
When the Register changed to Facebook logins I migrated to the ESPN boards, where I was still able to use KCClone. When ESPN changed to FB logins, I moved here, but unsuccessfully tried about twenty combinations to get close to KCClone. Finally threw up my hands & said dammit, I'm just KC Clone. Left the dammit part off, and there you have it.

I'm not gonna lie... I always read it like fajita. I guess I'm hungry and dumb.

I was clearly pretty high on kool aid when I chose mine.
I haven't expected the Cubs to win **** the last 5-6 years, so not sure what I was thinking.
And you all know Iowa States history at winning.

1. My son said it when whining that his 8:00 a.m. Differential Equation class was in Town Engineering instead of Carver, which is conveniently close to Helser, where he lived at the time.
2. Carver Hawkeye Arena reminds me of a mausoleum and I prefer our math building to it.
