I originally started using this username many years ago on AIM to upset my brother. He was always competitive at everything, even bowling. One year in high school, we both joined the bowling team (don't laugh, it was free bowling twice a week.) While he was a much better bowler than I was, he could never break 200. One day, I happened to score a 229 and proceeded to rub it in his face. Later on, my grandfather then suggested that I put that number into my username so he'll have to see it all the time. Ever since then, I've used it as my username everywhere else.

Jerome Bettis is one of my all-time favorite Steeler players (Bus) and the Buddha comes from my big gut and love of the ganja, mon.

Wallace looks like an obvious reference to Mike Wallace, but that's only half true.
I was a huge fan of the TV show Lost. All of the characters on the show were associated with numbers. In one episode, there was a character referenced but never shown ... Wallace 108. It was around the time I joined SF, so I thought that would be a great way to pay tribute to both Lost and the Steelers.

Don't lie, it was the love of Wallace combined with the number of brain cells you and Buddha shared once you merged your brains.
We could change your name to Wallace, plus the number of brain cells remaining...then you'd get...
wait for it...
wait for it...

True, there are fewer ... but according to the buffalo theory, we've thinned out the herd by killing off the slowest and weakest brain cells, allowing the stronger and faster brain cells to operate more efficiently.

Actually, you're real close Weebles. I believe it was a disease that wiped out the dinosaurs.

I went to sign up for a message board and couldn't think of a name, so I started looking through their stock avatars. One of them was a gif of a Platypus which led to the birth of themightyplatypus. Over the years it's morphed from themightyplatypus->mightyplatypus->theplatypus->supytalpeht.

Steel for Steelers... lax since I played lacrosse... and 4 has been my number for almost every sport I've played. Merged them, dropped one of the L's so everyone thinks it's Steel Ax.

And, my last name is Bays, so "Bayz" is just a stylized interpretation of that :)

Worked in Steel mills to get through college. I thought it sounded cool blastfurness and being a Steeler fan kinda went hand to hand. Let me tell ya those furnesses can get pretty freakin hot and if you ask Wallace 108 he could tell you some stories about my temper
