MyLot Cover III How Was Your Username Chosen?

Tweet

Another old MyLot discussion recycled into a new one. This isn't anything hard. Just explain your username here. You can add how long you've had it, if someone else gave you the idea for it, if you've lost the username and created a new one by adding numbers to the old one, is it just for MyLot... You know, whatever you want to share. I have no rules and I'll give bonus points to anyone that writes two different stories about their username forcing me to choose the true one. Ok. I'll start. I lived in Minnesota. My dad and my brothers along with me, all played betting games on football. Our home team was the Minnesota Vikings. Quit that laughing in the back. I know. We would pick winners and point spreads for every NFL game. My dad would record all the picks and everyone would kick in a dollar. Sometimes we had as many as twenty people in the pool. The one with the most winners collected the kitty. I moved west in 1989. I started this same thing with new friends out here. My dad visited and saw my boards from the year before and asked about it. The start of the next season, there were my friends here and my family back there. I kept track of here and my dad kept track of things there. One hour before the first game, everyone had to call their picks in. Then my dad called me with his board and I gave him my board. When he would call every Sunday morning, I would just answer the phone with my username.
