What is the significance of your Pelican name?

[BlueSkyJaunte]

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.

Quote de Jeff Higgins

I merely thought of the biggest ass hole I know, and started using his name on all internet forums in an effort to ruin his reputation.

I did the same, but failed at it.

I'm still trying

[Targa Me]

Because I have no imagination whats so ever. LOL

[mossguy]

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]

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.

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

[oldE]

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.

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

I don't spell it that way.

[nynor]

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

[Jim Richards]

I should've picked elevener.

[trekkor]

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]

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]

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]

Mine is just something that my parents came up with.

Nostatic was taken and I misspelled Osprey.

A good education is often not.
