Care to explain you Screen Name?

i'll go first, I joined here back in early 2001, the year before saw the release of the movie "Gladiator" and near the beginning, when the Romans are about to attack the Germanic tribes, Russel Crowe says "At my signal, unleash hell", which I thought was cool and just shoved the two words together...

It's near the end of this clip:

Back in 08 I was a huge fan of car audio. I had a 15" subwoofer called AudioPulse Revo in my car.

It's been awhile since I gave all that up. The best part for me was doing all the installs myself. Now that I'm older doing the installs myself isn't easy as it used to be and of course I don't have as much time as I used to with a family now. I do miss it a lot though.

Yeah it can get expensive. The expensive part is I am never satisfied and I kept upgrading. LOL

It's cool learning about everyone's user name. Everyone is so clever.

Now if 1995Lakers would post here and explain the significance of that year.

I thought about that. But he knows so much about baseball from years before that year. The way he talks about them sounds like he was around during those times.

No special meaning, just a random word that I thought would work well on an internet message board where people mostly choose to remain anonymous.

Back when the internet was young, I used to write a column on BSKBALL.COM (Sky and emplay wrote for them, as well). This was my original handle there, even though I wasn't the Lakers columnist. "Dr. Laker" is an homage to my knowledge of all things Laker, unlike many on the site whose knowledge was limited to the Buss era.

I started out here decades ago with the handle I used at ESPN, PopcrnMachine. A lot of us migrated over here about that time so continuity was the idea.

Then another guy signed up here and used PopcornMachine (full spelling) and I shortened mine to just Pop to avoid confusion. That didn't really help avoid confusion so I finally changed to Heartburn, because I was having heartburn on a regular basis, which sucked but it was always an issue.

There you have it.

I named mine after my favorite Greek Mythological hero. I'd heard of the Minotaur story before, but didn't really read about him until adulthood

The Mule part is a reference to Gov't Mule, my favorite band to see live (which I do whenever possible).

I had previously created a username somewhere else that only allowed 7 letters. At the time, Platinum jewelry was very popular. (I DO know how to spell)

My FIRST NAME starts with a T. Was trying to have the name in all lowercase and just the "T" capitalized but I think at the time, the first letter would automatically be UPPER CASE. So I said screw it, and made everything all caps.

I idolized an ex-Laker before he tried coaching, talkshow hosting and managing.
