    Name of the first band I was in in high school, but had to add something to it for my first email. I liked a band named Starflyer59, so I added the 59 to the end.

    Silver Frost was the color of my SVT Contour I drove a while back when I got my first internet handle. I teach chemistry and "speak periodic table" thus Ag instead of silver.

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Mine comes from a nick name of dragon or Draco. I used to keep toads for pets and i decided to combine the Latin names for dragon and the american toad "Bofo Americanus" into Draco Americanus and that means American Dragon and just like any modern dragon i horde shiny audio equipment
    Also i have no connection to that snot from the hairy potter series just to set the record

    Mine comes from the good ol' days of yahoo chat, I tried many different usernames, but everything I tried was taken. So I scratched my head and said okay, what are you? I was a dude sitting in my bedroom, so dudeinaroom was born. It soon got changed when I forgot my password, and is now dude_in_a_room@yahoo for yahoo purposes. everywhere else it does not have the underscores. As it is here it is also for hotmail, gmail, youtube, facebook and any other online games I play and is also my gamertag on Xbox live. I should probably change it to dudeinaroom+6 or dudewith5kids, but it will most likely stay as is as it has been with me for a while, and has some sentimental value to me because of all of the fun I have had with my user name.
