When I first started hanging around in a fishing forum, I had to choose a name. I was living in Vancouver (more or less), the Hell-hole that it is, and the wife and I were making plans to move to the Island. Somewhere near Comox.
So my name became "comoxbound". I was bound for Comox.
Then when we actually moved, the name seemed redundant. So I asked my friends on the fishing forum to help "rename" me. A buddy in Calgary came up with my new handle. He even still has his first car, it's a 1972 Satellite Sebring. So he's even a Mopar guy.
That is how "comoxian" came to be.
