What's the hidden meaning behind your user name?

[bourgeois911]

Bourgeois - my last name and French for "middle class", so both are appropriate. I forget what the 911 stands for but it meant something at the time.

[htron435]

htron = my last name spelled backwards (just hold your monitor up to a mirror and magically it will appear). Has nothing to do with a certain low tech high tech movie from the early eighties (although that movie was pretty cool in its day). 435 = HP rating of the '67 corvette coupe that's been in the family forever (yes it's a real one). Torque is good. Unfortunately if you read the whole thing backward it loses its meaning entirely. 534north. Sounds like some sort of coordinate. I should just stop now. .

Oh well, if you read the first couple of pages, I paid for it.

Milt (zeke, formerly milt, whatever) -- I actually think this is a great thread, 'cause I've often wondered the same thing about some of the names here.

[rcooled]

Say it out loud. It was a vanity plate on a '70 911T I had years ago.

[Rod Schneider]

No hidden meaning at all--it's the name my parents gave me!

[gigem75]

people from Texas will most likely get it. 75 was when I graduated

[futuresoptions]

Gigem Aggies!!!....., Well onto my meaning.....Once upon a time I dabbled in the commodities markets......

[SXSMAN]

SxS is the abbreviation for side by side or double barrel . I started hunting with a single shot and went to a sxs some time later . Hunting friends started calling me SxS .

Same user name on ebay , all gun forums and car forums .

Sig is a knock off of the Have gun , will travel ( Paladin TV show )

Wife works for an airline so I fly free , and I might have more than 1 firearm .

Also thought about O/UMAN or over/under man but......well.......that just sounded too gay .

And in my best Jerry and George voice "Not that there's noting wrong with that !!! "

SxS

[cerberus1]

As you all no doubt know already, Cerberus is the mythological three-headed dog that guards the gates of hell. As to how I got the name... the less said the better.

[SCWDP911]

This is funny as it came up a few times this weekend at Palooza. I had a few that swore I must have stuck a v8 in my 911 cabrio. (on a side note, one showed up at the event, and oddly enough, had one ofthe biggest crowds around it)...

So, mine (v8_ranch) has nothing to do with motors really...

v - my last name is Van Wey
8 - number of persons in our family (me, wife, 6 children)
_ - only a placekeeper, no real significance that I know of
ranch - we had acreage up in SW Montana. At the time we only had 5 children... I told my wife, we should go ahead and make it 6, that way we would have the 8 people and thus, we could call our place the v8 ranch. I wanted to use the old Ford flathead v8 logo as a ranch brand up at my gate and other places...

Now you know the rest of my story...

[Stutzdriver]

Longtime owner/driver of a 1923 STUTZ Touring car there fore the name!

[sand_man]

When the 930 doesn't have me under its spell in the garage, my other love is music; my family not withstanding. From hardcore punk to reggae to indie to classic rock, even some metal and alt country...my taste is extremely varied. I also see a lot of concerts.

My user name comes from a favorite band, Morphine. The lead singer's name was Mark Sandman. From the very first moment I heard them, I was hooked, I felt an immediate connection with the band's sound and direction. Sandman died of a heart attack while performing on stage in Italy. I guess I've always been a bit broken hearted about it, so I keep the name as a reminder.

[robhamster]

[scott540]

Shane, I am also of Dutch descent (note login name) AND have a Ruby Red SC!
Who woulda thunk it

[Nostril Cheese]

It's pretty obvious...

[gigem75]

"Wife works for an airline so I fly free" nonrev used to be a good deal until they started flying smaller planes and filling them up.
