I misremembered "blue jaunte" from The Stars My Destination, where it refers to a suicidal escape attempt by leaping into the unknown. Coupled with my blue (hellblau metallic, to be precise) car, it seemed appropriate.

Mossguy relates to the rainy and wet Pacific Northwest. Wife was going to be Mossgal but it was already taken, so she took mossperson but had to shorten it to mossprsn (a long time ago).

When I got my P car my wife said I should get plates that say "Gassy" because she thought it smelled bad. That and I've been known to clear a room every now and then.

onewhippedpuppy 11-01-2012 10:42 AM

I got married at 22, first of my buddies to do so. Of course I caught my fair share of crap for being whipped, so I made it my hotmail address to amuse them and annoy my wife. In reading internet forums I was annoyed at how many e-toughguys were out there, so I decided to take the opposite approach with my user name.

I thought my username needed to be one word.

craigster59 11-01-2012 10:53 AM

First name, birth year. It's just that easy...

oldE 11-01-2012 11:01 AM

When I joined Pelican, I had just bought an old E. (But a good E);)

The car has moved on, but I'm still using the name here and on other forums.

Best
Les

Your parents named you Craigster? Is that Scandinavian or something?

I don't spell it that way.

my username comes from my fascination with the number nine. i've used that handle for almost twenty years of computer gaming.

Jim Richards 11-01-2012 11:14 AM

I should've picked elevener.

trekkor 11-01-2012 11:15 AM

No one has my name in real life, so I figured, "go with it".

I use the same name on all forums.

Actually I am Norwegian, but guys in the Army called me Craigster.

red-beard 11-01-2012 11:21 AM

Any alternate names?

I also could have used Viper. It was my nickname/username for our mainframe in Highschool in the 1970's. And that would be Battlestar Galactica, not Top Gun...

LakeCleElum 11-01-2012 11:33 AM

Well, It's a big Lake that my cabin overlooked, 15 miles from where I ended up building a retirement home.

Started using it when Ebay told you you couldn't use your email address as your screen name. I drug my feet and Ebay was about to shut down my account not not changing it...Everything I tried was already taken until I became Ebay: LakeCleElum - should be Lake Cle Elum really....So, no, my 1st name is not Lake.

Bill Douglas 11-01-2012 11:35 AM

Mine is just something that my parents came up with.

Seahawk 11-01-2012 11:47 AM

Nostatic was taken and I misspelled Osprey.

A good education is often not.
