nom nom nom nom nom.

Childhood nickname that I could never escape. I've learned to embrace it over the years.

I miss spelled " fathead" . Actually it is an old email address from a million years ago. I didn't put much thought into my screen name here. Signed up to buy/sell a few parts, and then got sucked down the wormhole.

haha! :d

Mine is for a car that has been in our family for 56 years...a 1923 Stutz Touring Car that came home when I was 4 days old in 1956. My grandfather did a 1950's restoration and drove it all over then we did a "proper" national award winning restoration together that was finished just before he died. This car has a home in the family forever as my son (a future MD) will take caretakership through a trust established to keep the car.

That's how I became Stutzdriver!

He's my hero.

Application dependent...;)

This reminded me of a post (a little over a year ago) by red-beard: What is the significance of your Pelican name?

So here we go - mine (Hawkeye) was given many years back by a group of guys when we were all young & played ball, hockey etc. It has stuck as I still manage to get together with a few of them, have a couple of beers & we do the 'Bruce Springsteen theme - Glory Days' - now that we are old grey fat farts. When I joined Pelican the name was already taken so I just added the model name of my project car to it.

The model designation of the airplane we sold a couple years back - Maule M5 with a Lycoming O540 engine producing 235 hp. Great, but simple airframe, w/ an even better engine. I miss that plane but family (teen daughters and wife) takes priority.

Mine is OSPID spelt backwards. An OSPID is an open source proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID controller). Basically, just a generic control loop feedback mechanism (controller) widely used in industrial control systems.

Or spelt forwards it means a drunk.

my name plus initials of the world's most experienced airline where I worked in 69.

Very cool, but your avatar looks Star Trek-y...

Like Hawkeye says, there is another super funny thread on screen names:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/714391-what-significance-your-pelican-name.html

The meaning of my screen name is really dumb, but oh well...

When I got my first computer in 1999, I had an RX-7, known among enthusiasts as a "rex"... and I have a fondness for women with big (generous) tracts of land. So I combined the two words into "genrex" on the RX-7 website, and even though I sold the RX-7 in 2003, I decided to stay with that name when I joined Pelican and other websites for the sake of consistency... and okay, full disclosure, because it's easy for me to remember. :)

In Costa Rica there was a spray for insects, cockroaches, ants, spiders and leftists called Baygon,, I just needed something to use on line when I came back, this was a derivative.

i've heard "motion" simply mispelled "lotion" :D

Thanks for posting that thread (wasn't too long ago either)...I sometimes go away for a spell and missed it. Both of these thread have been interesting indeed :D

Hey Chief, are you over 6 ft tall?;)
