OT - What does your screen name mean

What does your screen name mean? Where did you get it from? Is there a story behind it?

My Screen name is

Bobtail1075

I used to deliver Propane and they call the truck a bobtail and the 1075 is the U.N. number(Placcard) for propane. Not much of a story but some of you have really cool screen names and I wa just wondering what they mean to you.

Thanks
Jeremy

Magdelan= Magdelena

I first heard the name in a song by "A Perfect Circle". In the song, Maynard (the singer, also from Tool) sang of Magdelena. I understood the song to be about giving everything for just one moment with the one you long for (in my case, my wife). I was her Magdelan. Aww...

Here are the lyrics

Magdalena-

Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars

So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your
Holiest of altars

I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time

One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my magdalena

I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess

That I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my black madonna

I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time

One taste
One taste
One taste of you my Magdalena

This was said by my kids after being completely consumed for exhausting hours researching this hobby(and still am). They told me I have a habit of over-thinking everything thus becoming one.
