I was born in St. Petersburg Florida but my parents moved me up to Greenville when I was 5. Now I live in Virginia. I used to have this name on mi License plate.
I didn't put much thought into mine. University of South Carolina Gamecocks 1984. It was my favorite Gamecock season at the time.
As for the kid, I just figured that's what the feeling of victory looks like.

For along time I thought it might have been because you were from the Judson Community in Greenville, SC.
Reminds me of the criminally underrated band Cracker. One of them is named johnny. In one of their songs, the singer yells "Solo, Johnny".
Graduated in 92 from USC in Electrical Engineering and I'm a licensed Professional Engineer, all of this to the astonishment of most of my professors. I also have a 2 year degree from Midlands Tech but couldn't find a way to slip that in there. I also failed out of USC once and decided not to address that.

My first screen name around 1999-ish was CohibaCock because I enjoyed cigars. Then I changed it to ChinaCatIknowyourider which is a wonderful grateful dead jam but the screen name made it difficult for people I suppose. So I changed to RaleighGC. I live in Raleigh and love my GameCocks.....
Started with CockDiesel. Avatar was cocky in a monster truck. That was in 2003 or so. I remember skipping work to see if Ricardo hurly commits to us. Cocktails after that. Don’t know what happened.
The wife, kids and I equal cockfamily6. None of that house divided bull shiz.
DE is my dads initials . In honor of him
I wanted to remind myself to take gamecock sports less seriously.
I was at the University of Tulsa when I joined these groups way back then so USCNOKLAHOMA was born.
Formed by one of the members of the most underrated bands, Camper van Beethoven.
I'm a Mauldin Maverick and a South Carolina Gamecock. Kinda pedestrian but it I signed up for FGF in 2002 and I was a youngster with a lack of creativity at the time. Or maybe I was chasing too many women at the time and that was more important than thinking up a catchy moniker.
My maternal grandparents were Okies so I have Oklahoma dust in my blood.
I graduated in 2004 & was married at Rutledge Chapel shortly after (9 year plan with a 5 year break ). I still have my degree, and everything about my university I love I carry with me.
the Horseshoe was special to me long before 2004
Incase folks want to know

I was assigned to a lot of places by my masters in Washington (USAID) and Vienna (UNDP).
My friend and mentor, who was a friend of my dad, was a PHD, and was a Renaissance man. He excelled in music, math, electronics, auto mechanics, liberal politics, and basically everything he got his hands on. He made a trip to Atlanta with a friend. While in Atlanta, they went to meet this guy who was active in the same hobby. The guy's name was Anson. They told me I reminded them of him. They both started calling me Anson. I never met the guy named Anson, and therefore was not offended. Kinda of liked the nickname, so I try to use it.
Although I absorbed none of his brilliance and prodigious music ability, liberal politics, etc., I am greatly indebted to my friend for encouraging me to do my best. He is now past 90. Sadly, he is in a memory care unit, and I cannot visit him at this time.

That's too bad, Freddie. I always hoped that was your real name. Not too late to change it. Think of having a license that read "Freddie Cocky."
Handle: Big baseball fan
Avatar: Freddie Solomon. I’m from Sumter
Ha! I got so many free shirts from around the SEC using "Harry Lyon" on those applications.
Although I’ve been call a fascist, it came from the TV show Seinfeld. One of the characters was “the soup nazi”. I just kind of adapted it.
Flew F-16s at McEntire from 1983 to 1995. Was also a Captain at American Airlines and flew the 727, 757, 767, MD-80, MD-11, A-300 and wound up retiring on the 777. Viper is one of the nicknames for the F-16. Others are the Electric jet and the lawn dart. The official name is the Fighting Falcon.
Lawn Dart does not sound like a great name for a jet.
