Default Explain your Username ....

Haven't done this for awhile, and since we're all describing ourselves in other threads...thought I'd open this thread.

I live in Southern California and was 28 years old when I registered to internet forums.

my name is moizz, but my friends call me mo.
one day, some friends and i were in the car, and the song "Maan!" by "Big Moe" came on, and in the beginning he says "moyopoyo". well, my friend's started calling me "moyo", and i was looking for a new handle at the time, so i decided to use that name.

"El Tianti" was the nickname for Loius Tiant. Born in Cuba, he pitched
in the Majors in the 70's.

Growing up in Ma, I was a (and am) a HUGE Red Sox fan. He pitched
for the Sox during the mid 70's. I have fond memories of watching him
in the 75 WS. Castro (skunk) let his parents come over to see him pitch
in the WS. I was a big fan of his.

First intial, Middle intial, and last name.

I got tired of trying to come up with unique IDs at websites and just decided to use one I knew would be unique everywhere.
