Mine is after my Steve Yzerman beanie bear. Yzerman played for the Detroit Red Wings. Back in 1999 Salvinos made a bunch of beanie baby like bears for different sports and players. Since it is a BEAR and his name is YzerMAN I changed the end and created Yzerbear. The 19 is the number that Stevie wore. Its been my screen name for probably 7-8 years now. Some of my family and friends even use it as a nickname. My sister's is screen name is ShannyBear after her Brendan Shanahan bear. Our one brother just calls us "The Bears."
A couple of pictures of my bear who travels with me as my vacation mascot:
Yzerbear in Washington, DC 2004

My DD's inspired me Sydney was born 9/3 and Allison was born 6/7 , I thought it was a pretty good username until I started going to DIS CON and DIS meets and having to introduce myself that way was a little awkward

Mine is in my sig - I'm a big Jimmy Buffett fan, and one of my favorite songs is Love & Luck, "a little gris gris keeps you safe from harm". It's a good luck charm. I wonder how people say my username though when they see it - the "s" is silent, it's said "gree gree". I bet some people think it's "griz griz" or something like that. I use gris gris wherever I go
