mine is just a nickname some guys once gave me when I was 15.
these were guys I went to elementary with, after finishing elementary I didn't see them often anymore, untill somewhere in the 3rd grade or so, when I was 15, I wanted to go out more. but the city was 45 minutes away, there was however a hangoutspot in my village, a trailer on a farmer's property(those places are known as 'zuipketen' around here, 'drinking shacks', since underage drinking is common in such places), so I often hung out there on saturdayevening and reconnected with my former elementary-classmates(in elementary I had been somewhat of an outcast, the classnerd).
usually it went like this: I arrived, took out one of the joints I had rolled beforehand at home(I wasn't good at rolling yet, so they were way too fat, and looked ugly), and smoked it outside with 4-5 other guys. then went inside, and after about 20-30 minutes I would go outside to smoke another. usually at that point, only 1 or 2, or none at all, would join me, they all were stoned enough already.
eventually I stopped going there because I realised I just was at a way different wavelength, there were just too few conversations I could participate in(often they would talk either about people from their highschool whom I didn't know, or sports, wich I'm not interested in). it was nice to reconnect with them, but in the long run I had more fun going to the city and meeting friends there who I could have better conversatioins with. also in the drinking shack the music wich was on was almost always rap/hiphop, wich is one of the few music genres I can't stand. in the city I went to a metalbar, so much better backgroundmusic.
so since I was always smoking/stoned when around those guys and I was always the one bringing weed and sharing it with them, they gave me the nickname djonkoman/jonkoman. (actually at that point saturday evening was the only time in the week I smoked, but it was also the only time that I was around them)
at some point I needed a username for a weedforum, something different as my usual username at the time wich I used for some non-weedrelated sites. I couldn't think of anything, so I sttled on this old nickname, jonkoman was already taken so I took the phonetic dutch spelling: djonkoman.
after that I just kept on using it since I couldn't think of anything better.

Mine is a shortened nod to Terrapin Station. it's an epic poem by Robert Hunter that has hundreds of verses. It's also the song I saw live back in 1979 that made a DeadHead!
