What does your screen name/ID stand for?

nam812 · February 20, 2008 11:04AM

Being more bored than usual tonight, I thought I would start a thread asking the members to explain what their screen name/ID means. Some are very easy to figure out like Lawnmowerman, CDsNuts, etc..., but there are some that aren't as easy to figure like Zep33 or Stone193. You get the idea. If you want to take a minute or two to explain, thats great, and if not, that's fine too. I will start the ball rolling by saying that mine is my initials (nam) and my birthday (august 12th). Anyone else?

Davemri · February 20, 2008 11:07AM

Well, My name is dave and I am an MRI technologist, hence........davemri....

I met some board members at the national a couple years ago and after we were introduced, he said oh! it's dave-marie.....LOL

zep33 · February 20, 2008 11:08AM

my email address has been zeppelin33@whateverISPI'vehad.com since Al Gore invented the internet.

Always been a Led Zeppelin fanatic and think I have every known circulated video existing and probably 400+ audio shows on tape and CD since I was a kid. Zep33 is just shortened version. I think the 33 from when 1-32 weren't available to choose from on either AOL or Compuserve back in the day.

digicat · February 20, 2008 11:11AM

"Digicat" is a shortened version of my old handle "The Digital Cat." It doesn't really have any meaning.

Darin · February 20, 2008 11:13AM

Mine is my name.

Stingray · February 20, 2008 11:15AM

Well this is really going to sound lame, but my wife collected those beanie babies at one time and she had one called Stingray. I thought it was the coolest looking one so I just took the name to use as an ID.

Clemaz · February 20, 2008 11:18AM

Mine is my ebay name, the Cle is for Clemente and the Maz is for Mazeroski. Not sure why I picked those. I would probally pick Scrap Iron if I were to do it again.

Bottom9th · February 20, 2008 11:21AM

I had a store in the 90's and it was of course named Bottom9th. I've had the same name on Ebay and several other forums for years. Of course now my primary collecting focus is football, but it's too late to change now.

onefasttalon · February 20, 2008 11:24AM

Here ya go.... this is my toy.

it's a '97 Eagle Talon... I bought it brand new with 9 miles on it back late '96. Drove it everyday for 3 years, then decided to spend a ton of $$ on myself as a (college) graduation gift to myself.
... what you can't see, is the audio/video system inside, or what's been done under the hood.

External body work took 7 months to complete...

I'm pretty sure I'll be buried in it when I die....

gotsparks09 · February 20, 2008 11:25AM

I'm a radioman in the Coast Guard...our rating badge used to have sparks on it...therefore, got sparks. They changed the rating badge recently, though, and it looks crappy. I miss the sparks.

09 is just my favorite number...the one I always tried to get when I played little league.

tennesseebanker · February 20, 2008 11:26AM

TNTonPMS · February 20, 2008 11:29AM

yankeeno7 · February 20, 2008 11:30AM

BunchOBull · February 20, 2008 11:31AM

As a 5'11'', 215 freshman FB the offensive coordinator called me a "little bull." The athletic director turned around and said "that's a bunch of bull." From thence formed my aol screenname, then my eBay handle, now CU, some 11 years later.

samspop · February 20, 2008 11:31AM

My daughter is Samantha...hence "samspop"...I have a son named Michael (named after me), but he wasn't around when I chose the name, I just haven't bothered to change it to SamandMikespop. I'm lazy.

Karb= Karrie and Robert B. I thought it would make a cool vanity plate so it stuck with me on the web as well.

lawnmowerman · February 20, 2008 11:38AM

I wasn't working there, that was when I was visiting you on vacation. Get it straight!

OnlyThe10s · February 20, 2008 11:40AM

Mine was Teknobaby.... oops, I mean Teknobailey for a while till I had a nervous breakdown and, well, you know the rest.

Then I came up with "OnlyThe10s" when I started collecting Manny Ramirez cards (only 10's) so I thought it was fitting.

Whoomp, there it is.

erinstubby · February 20, 2008 11:40AM

Guru · February 20, 2008 11:49AM

Guru was one of my nicknames in college.

perkdog · February 20, 2008 11:53AM

I work in a prison and a few of the Spanish Gang members call me "Perkdog", my partner loved it and went with it, so all my buddies at work call me it.

mdkuom · February 20, 2008 11:54AM

First three letters are my initials. Second three stand for University of MN where I was going to school when I started using the name.

Serferdude · February 20, 2008 12:14PM

I take my moniker from Hayek's "The Road To Serfdom," which should be required reading
for anyone who thinks that big government and state control of anything is a good idea.

GOODLIEU · February 20, 2008 12:14PM

Retired NYPD Lieutenant. Liked that over the top Harvey Keitel movie Bad Lieutenant so reversed it.

TNP777 · February 20, 2008 12:16PM

TNP = the narrow path. As a Christian, it is the path I strive to stay on. I'm unsuccessful way too often, but it is a worthy goal to shoot for. 777 - I like the numbers 7, 3 and 21, so 7 three times is 21. Seven is also a very prominent number in the Bible.

Geordie

VitoCo1972 · February 20, 2008 12:17PM

VitoCo1972

Godfather fanatic - Vito Corleone - and the film came out in 1972.

Been my AOL screen name since I was first on AOL in 96. Back then, you could only have 10 letters in your screen name and VitoCorleone wouldn't fit.

Lothar52 · February 20, 2008 12:18PM

Lothar= A character in Warcraft which was super popular in college in 1996. I thought it sounded different and was a cool internet name so back in 1996 when i joined a gaming site which was unheard of at the time it was the name i used. It stuck.

52= My football number in high school.

itzagoner · February 20, 2008 12:22PM
