Every time I join a new forum I'm too lazy to think up a new nickname. (And I'm too stupid to remember a bunch of different names...)
I used the name I used on a snowmobile forum. Fuelie600 was from my sled. 600cc EFI engine. |
My high school nickname in Mississippi was Brassmonkey, as my last name is Brasfield. This came from some nasty liqueur my friend stole from his Dad's cabinet. (Brassmonkey) This has stuck all of these many years and has derived many variants such as Monkey, Monk, monkey mo flunkey, speiluneky, mojunkie, monkeymoflunkeyspeilwhatchacallyojunkie, junk, flunk, monkey, In fact, on one strange night my strange friends were waiting for me to come in town and made a list of about five hundred derivatives. It was too funny. I was at a Stones concert a few years back with about 5 of my old mates when Mick burst into Monkeyman, I thought I was gonna be killed, they went wild, rather reminiscent of the Planet of the Apes movie.
Anyway, when I signed up for AOL, Brassmonkey was taken, Bmonk was gone, so it properly should be pronounced "BeeMonk" so I put the AuntBea spelling on it to make people wonder. All this has been pretty interesting as Brassmonkey is a Mississippi nickname and Alabama friends have always had other monikers for me. Then they got" Be a monk" and started with that. When the Mississippi crowd hears "Be a monk" from the Alabama friends, they say, hell no, he's a monkey mo flunkie spei lunkie mo junkie, etc ! I then sit there like a monk absorbing it all. I guess I should be proud to have such a crazy group of friends, or I should be really worried! |
Well some look at it two ways i love to scuba dive, and some co workers look at it in a diff light. aka goin down.

Well mine was 86 ragtop- no I dont wear a wig!
The car (86 Cabrilet) was a lot of trouble with multiple breakdowns in quick succession- I almost gave up on Porsches. Instead I just sold the old car after fixing all of the faults and sinking a lot of cash into it. A short break from Porsches and a friend pushed his recently finished project on me, which was a twin plugged targa ('71T targa), so I changed my name. When originally signing into this site- my 1st Bulletin Board- I though it wise to remain anonymous, for legal reasons etc (bragging about speeding etc). But now realise that if anyone wants to find you/prosecute you, the internet is a two way mirror, plus I really have nothing to hide, -Ben Baylis |
Well, as a hack computer programmer for nearly 30 years. My primary junk variable is "zot." During a code review many years ago, some anal, self important dweeb wanted to know who was using/writing these non-standard "zot" variables. So I stepped up and admitted I was the "zotman." And the 72, well that is my first 911's birthyear. You had to ask... HTH.

Simple for me. It's my name!

Avery is my beautiful daughter.
|
It's the name of my pro-street drag bike. I like to street race and everytime I climb on it's a gamble as to whether it's gonna start, run, stop, win, crash, and come back in one piece.
Kinda like life. |
1969 was the first year for the E designation. I also figured it was "an oldy but a goody"

Mine is self-explanatory.

This was the first forum I registered on, and I didn't know any better. Still searching for the perfect avatar...
Cheers! Paul. Edit: Found it! That's my smokin' hot wife...in a Porsche shirt to boot! |
Its the designator of my "other passion" per my vehicle list...Not to be confused with the model Porsche.

I have a targa that I have Time Trialed a couple of times.
Someone who time trials a targa isn't really serious about it and probably not very good. Coupes are the way to go for time trial. This said something about me http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1116185847.jpg |

I fly a jet for a living and it cruises at about 450 knots (which is about 520 mph), hence 450 knot office.

Jester911 has a couple meanings that both seem a little lame now. Many years ago when I first started computing the movie topgun came out. I didn't really like viper so I picked Jester since it was close to my name Jerry.
That was also when I used to drink so I thought I was funny. :D Anyway I have always used Jester as my screen name and when I came to this board it became what it is now. |
When I signed up I was the branch Chariman for Vancouver area control center. CATCA is the Canadian AirTraffic Controllers Association. That was taking all my time then so it seemed natural. Not so sure now.....

What else would it mean besides the obvious?
I have a Jeep with big rubber tires. Duh! Now if this was a site full of ladies, I might say different. |
Ivan Drago was the big Russian boxer playing opposite Sylvester Stallone in Rocky 4.
Back in the day I used to lift a lot of weights and had a similar hair cut. Name stuck. |
I'm lazy and I'll pick up stuff off the floor with my ridiculously long toes rather than bending down. My wife calls me MonkeyBoy when I do so. I think she called me that a few minutes before I registered and I figured it was as good a name as any.
|
Ha ha, I call my wife Monkeygirl for exactly the same reason! Though normally she uses her abilities for evil... like pinching me in bed to wake me up :rolleyes:

xlr8 is the short form of my old AOL screen name XLR8V1VRV2.

My two favorite things to do are to fly low in my 911 and fly high in my airplane, a Beechcraft Bonanza.

My initials and then a clever miss spelling of porsche that combines power and porsche.... "pwrsche" was on someones lisc. plate a long time ago.. one of the members I believe posted the plate years ago...I might be thinkin rennlist days..

Many have asked over the years.
Saturday Night Live used to do a recurring skit about a bunch of caveman types led by character played by Mike Meyers named Lothar of the Hill People. I always thought the skit was funny, albeit mighty dumb. When asked for a handle on a website even before Pelican, the thought to use Lothar came to mind. It has stuck ever since. |
its my name!

I have spent over 4000 hours in it as a Flight Engineer (C-141) The tube of PAIN, the STARLIFTER

I love Julie and want to include her in everything I do...even if she doesn't get on the boards and chat with us. But she IS a Pcar fan...and an old Beetle fan. A different kind of enthusiast, but an enthusiast non-the-less.
..oh, and it's easy to remember.. ..ok, one more...it seems I change cars too often to have my name relate to any of my cars. :D |
Its my job...and my email addy......SmileWavy

My driving style and the year and model of my car.....

Obvious - first name. Not many other people spell it with an e (usually "Christian") so it's pretty unique, at least outside French-speaking areas. Funny story - I lived in Montreal for 3 years and my name was misspelled more than ever. I almost had my gas shut off because I didn't pay the bill for 6 months because I didn't recognize the name on the bill - they screwed it up so badly, I just assumed it was the previous tenant.

Ricky Martin is my idol....heh heh

gorfllub = bullfrog backwards. My name is Jeremy. Jeremiah was a bullfrog. My nick in school was bullfrog.
But, everywhere I go to sign up, bullfrog is already long gone. So gorfllub it is. |
My last name is Esterle (pronounced "Ester lee"). Several years ago, someone, most likely with lysdexia, somehow mispelled it as "Ken Steele". At the time, I had been searching for the perfect porn name for myself, and I thought that "Big Ken Steele" was pretty funny. Unfortunately, I was later informed that there was already an actor who went by this name, and let's just say that there are not a lot of women in his films (not that there is anything wrong with that). By that time, I had already used it for email, ebay, etc., so I have kept it hoping that the majority of people aren't too familiar with gay porn.

My all-time most desireable 911 at the time... They have [finally] made a few since that come close, GT3, etc..
