HenryJ's, Jim's, Borderman's and MellowYellow's member names are somewhat obvious

User/Member names are always interesting to me. I enjoy trying to figure out how people chose them. I find myself guessing how they were chosen and why.

Ex......"Rock"

Is it because he is a climber, is a retired US Army Sgt or something else entirely?

I came up with mine in '94 on AOL. The "F9" is a KY State Police assigned call sign when I transferred here. I guess the "F" was because I was/still in federal law enforcement.

The "K9" obviously came from the fact that I was a K-9 handler and I felt lucky to perform in that capacity and actually make a living from it

I'd love to hear from other members and hear the thought process that resulted in their user name.

Jeff, keep silent on this class exercise!

well I have been using two names on discussion boards . When it is a car/truck related forum I use "blaze one" because I drive a Blazer and I have "one" and because i have been known to "blaze one" once in awhile

The other I use is "Mr.Pink" . Because i like the character " Mr. Pink" for the movie resevoir dogs .

and on fishing forums i use my real name or "snag"

I call myself "Rusty" because I have a knack for collecting rusty old relics. I have a garage full of rusty junk.

Posted: **Sat Aug 06, 2005 2:59 pm**

I came up with my screenname by putting my two knick names together. I acquired "Bobble" from my neighbor when I was about 5 yrs old... Not that I couldn't catch a ball or anything, he just put an "L E" at the end of all the neighborhood kids names. I figured that I would use that when I created my first SN on AOL back in '97. When I bought my crew, I got a personalized plate with "Bobble" on it. I got "Smitty" from my shop teacher back in highschool since my last name is Smith. I would have put "Smitty" as my personalized plate, but of course, it was already taken.

Posted: **Sat Aug 06, 2005 3:04 pm**

B.A.D. are my initials

Posted: **Sat Aug 06, 2005 3:14 pm**

Rusty, I had a bunch figured out and since I was here for the name change "rush" . I knew yours.

Bobble was one that perplexed me and TY!

I hate it when I am exposed as a "softy" and "Bad" burned me righteously.

Thanks for humoring me.

my girlfriend kinda slurred my name one time, like when you're talking to a baby and "Bwenny" came out, kinda stuck ever since. 247 is just cause I'm "bwenny" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Chumley was given to me by a guy at work who gives everyone nicknames, kinda like the company clown. If anyone is old enough to remember Tennessee Tuxedo ( I don't and I'm 37) and I didn't know this until about 3 yrs after I got this nickname that Chumley is a big dumb looking walrus! Oh well I guess if the shoe fits...

Posted: **Sun Aug 07, 2005 7:44 am**

I use Steve2003 because Steve is my nickname. My real name is Stephen and my crew is a 2003

Nothing special here

My job constantly requires me to log into computers, and they assigned me "wamason", which is the first letter of my first name, and my entire last name, as a login, and it stuck...

After tinkering in the garage with one of my "toys" I'm starting to think I need a new name that reflects my masochistic tendencies or at least something that conveys the fact that I'm TERMINALLY INSANE!!!

Mine is just my ham callsign.. guaranteed to only be one with the callsign

so I usually get it first try on most signups (unless I've been there before and forgot).

What did you do to that Ford? Is that why you bought your GM?

Posted: **Tue Aug 09, 2005 4:57 pm**

1337 is 'leet' spelled in numbers, meaning 'elite' usually in reference to computers. (which I work with every day for my job). I got the vending part from a room in the main building at college, which happened to be room#1337 and had the title 'Vending'. Hence, 1337vending. Thought it was a pretty unique name...

Might as well have been a Navajo code talker that came up with that one. I have to admit that yours was one that really had be curious

You appear to be doing quite well in Indiana. I just wish we had met before my yearly trips to Elkhart came to an end. I still want to make one more trip there to reunite with my K-9 mentor quits the business and hopefully we can meet.

Well...if you go the way I think you will (US 31...north of Indy anyway), you'll pass within about 1/4 mile of my house, so just let me know when you're passing through.

Posted: **Thu Aug 11, 2005 2:21 pm**

Will do, I pass through there on 31 before I hit the South Bend bypass

Posted: **Sun Aug 14, 2005 10:21 pm**

K, I guess mine comes with a little story...

Back around 94 when I was 15. I bought my first car, a 1984 Monte Carlo. It had the 4.3 and a bad tranny. So me and a bud fixed er up and slapped in a 305 so tired that you could turn over by moving the fan. LOL. 2 months later the 350 was intro'd. That was the end of my "ever have money life" Six four bolts and about 20 Grand later I had me a 10.92 @128.46MPH Monte Carlo. That was my daily driver too. MPG=5.

Anyway, I thought I would need some sweet license plates when the whole project began so I put in for ROCKN84. Two weeks later I get my plates. Hmmm......ROCKN82. So now everybody at the Byron Dragway (in IL) Is asking me if it is an 82 cause it didnt look like one... Shortly there after somebody tossed me the nick ROCK. And It stuck. The rockn82 has been my aol screen name since aol 2.0 and every screenname since. You can just about email rockn82@whatever and get me. LOL. I have even met women down in fort hood cause of them plates. Chat'n online and my name pops up. She said she saw the plates like that at the gym and yada yada.

Well thats my story... and I miss my car again.

By the way we do the National Wheelstand Championships in Byron. You get trophies for the longest/sickest wheelstand and you should see some of the stuff people do to their vehicles because they refuse to lift. They yank the wheelie bars off for these. Car Craft Mag covered it last year and Here are some links.

Check out the "most violent" Hear how he is still on the throttle and ready to roll. God I love it.

You'll prolly have to use Quicktime cause I can't get the Win Player to work.

Yeah and I guess I really Don't have to explain the "Watch This" in my Signature. I try not to say it anymore, I dont have the time/money.

Hey Rock do you still come down to Byron Drag Way for those races?
Because that is not to far were I live i'm just 15Min away from there. Maybe we could meet up some time?

Posted: **Tue Aug 16, 2005 8:31 am**

I grew up in Kirkland and lived in Davis Junction untill i went in the Army. I went last year but I dont make it down there all that often anymore. Do you do any trail riding down there? And have you ever gone to the freeport dirt oval?

Posted: **Tue Aug 16, 2005 6:57 pm**

No, not unless it is putting snowmobile trail"s for the winter and takeing them out in the spring

. thats as much as I do. no I have not been to the dirt races at Freeport.

2bunik = to be unique

My mustang has always been differant because of all the mods I have done to it. It actually looks like an import now.. Anyways I was fishing around for a name for the entire project, and came up with 2bunik. So That was what my mustang project was named.. It was supposed to be on a license plate but i never got around to it... I have one other log on that I use. it is TRAI_38 that was randomly chosen for my yahoo email account back in 1996 or something.. and I have used that ever since...

Yes, I do remember.... and I would like to meet you and wheel some day.

I am glad you started this thread. actually, it is a topic I have wanted to start but never did.

I have a new job now that keeps me busy. Unfortunately, I am unable to keep up with the forum like I used to. I used to do all my forum surfing at work. However, when at home, I just don't get online much. Sucks, kind of like moving far away from family....

Take care,
Pete.

P.S. If you ever come "home" to visit family or your friend, look me up. If I remember correctly, you told me the street where your friend lives. I am within walking distance.

I use Jim because I can...getting in on the forum early aloud me to do that. I'd rather not use nicknames given to me:
Slopper 17 year old Corvette restorer / detailer...I was always under a car on the lift with water and a scrub brush. This was before the time of body off restorations and back when the white glove treatment was more important than being correct, all the work was done overhead on the lift. Hours of cleaning, sanding, masking and painting.
Weisy High school...part of my last name.
Jimmy-d-mote When your a senior in high school with a factory 1969 427 COPO Chevelle you could expect a nickname like that.

Feather Foot When you have the fastest car in the school but rarely get on it...because you feel you don't have to prove anything

I still tend to detail everything.
