Explain Your Screen Name!!!
 
What does your screen name mean???

I guess I'll start-

BB79, My first two initials and my birth year, as well the year as one of my 928's.
I've always wonder what the heck DanglerB was supposed to mean....hmmmm.

MPDano 06-24-2009 02:12 PM

Then WTF is 500?

MPDano 06-24-2009 02:13 PM

MPDano

Military Police and my last name Dano

Been using this username for 16 years now.

BB500 06-24-2009 02:16 PM

HAHAHAHA!! I forgot, I also left this post on Rlist...

BB500 is my first two initials and 500 just sounds powerful to me. I also had a Galaxie 500:)

BB500 06-24-2009 02:24 PM

Dano, I got a ticket as I left your house last week! Right there at the Chevron station, I accidentally went left thinking there wasn't a center divide....:( also got me for no proof of insurance, but I was repo'ing the car from the guy I sold it to. Technically the car is still registered to him, I'm just the lienholder. Hopefully that flies in court...

MPDano 06-24-2009 02:28 PM

Yeah, lots of coppers in my area. CHP is right there off Greenfield and Main. They always run my plates, but they have no probable cause to pull me over. I'm not sure how that all works as far as Repo'ing a car. So the dude lived near me?

SharkTech 06-24-2009 02:44 PM

Well, I will go next.

I am a Senior Systems Analyst for a Defense Contractor, D.O.D. Started as a PC LAN Tech, and always considered myself a true wrencher/technician with anything I get my hands on, anything I Can do to learn the how to's for anything, especially my toys. I DO NOT take my stuff to the "shop", insist on learning to do it hands on, at all times. My first Porsche was a 944, and that began the Tech944, figured I would just stick with it beings that is where it all started. I use TechSLX over on my Waverunner/Jet Skii forums, hence me having a Polaris SLX 780, etc, etc...

What's up Leo?!?!? Hope all is well my friend...

My turn: Some time back, I read an article that was about porn stars. One of the performers interviewed was asked where he got his screen name and he said that it was common practice to use the name of your first pet as your first name, and the last name would be the name of the street that you grew up on;) Hence, my first dog "Sparky" and the street that I grew up on is "Rowan"SmileWavy Oh well, I thought it was kind of cool:cool:

That's my name, don't wear it out. I prefer Rick but I've been called all kinds of things like Dick, as in "YOU DICK!" Hey I can't help it if my dad named my right...

Danglerb 06-24-2009 08:42 PM

People have trouble with Dan Glerb, I have to wonder about Whiskers Tweedy.

Normy 06-24-2009 11:00 PM

The name that my "wonderful" parents saddled me with. My dad's fault actually.

-Prior to my birth, my parents agreed that if I was male, I was to be named Michael James. My birth wasn't the easiest process in the world; I nearly died and my mother had bleeding. While she was unconscious, my dad was presented the birth certificate. Me made me a "jr" by putting his own name on the birth certificate. I spent two weeks in the hospital, and my mom to this day makes great sport of pointing out that she still wasn't talking to him when they brought me home. She actually talked to an attorney about a divorce, but never followed up.

Since the paperwork had already gone through, they left it as is. Mom got a full house of her favorite Ethan Allen furniture two years later~

THINK when you name your kids; I caught soooo! much crap in school because of this stupid name! I don't know what my grandmother was thinking when she gave it to my dad.

M!

MPDano 06-25-2009 04:21 AM

Dang Normy, that's a sad story. Glad all worked out though.

Niles 06-25-2009 05:04 AM

Blythe, I bought new windshield wipers for my 928 and the local parts store carried Bosch and the replacements were "BB500." I thought that was where you got your screen name.

bedinator 06-25-2009 06:50 AM

okay, here goes. In 2001-2002 I worked for a company that had a naming standard of first initial+last name for logins. So, I was Bedman. I'm a big guy and someone merged Bedman with Terminator and came up with Bedinator. It stuck.

tedward515 06-26-2009 05:53 AM

tedward515 is a combination of my real name Edward and what some of my family or older friends call me, Ted. So tedward. When I first got on the internet tedward was already taken as an email/user name, so it suggested stuff like tedward with a random number stuck on the front or end. So I went with one of my favorite Who songs 5:15, off of Quadrophenia. Kinda childish, but its easy to remember.

rhjames 06-26-2009 02:58 PM

OK--I'll play......

first/middle initials--last name

(largecar as in big sleeper/high horsepower Peterbilts----379 as in Peterbilt model 379)

vdubr928 06-26-2009 10:29 PM

vdubr

I used to restore VW Busses in my youth for pleasure and resale.

Since it is so short, easy, and pretty much any forum/email server/well you get the point, lets me use that combo I have allways used it. I think I had to add 928 to the end on this forum. (must be another vdubr'er out there somewhere. First time in 10 or so years that I had to alter the combo. Think ebay was the last. :)

Mrmerlin 06-27-2009 05:20 PM

I was looking for something to do with P51 Mustangs, My passion......
The Rolls Royce Co. made the Merlin and I had to come up with something
Anywhoo Mrmerlin wasnt taken the rest is history............

ice-hot 06-28-2009 07:06 AM

Screen name??
Got into drag racing snowmobiles with my son when he was in high school.
He wanted a name for our race team (me, my dad, my son, and friends that tagged along). My Son came up with Ice-Hot Racing, then came the real world and college and.....well you know how it goes. So we retired from drag racing, he went off to college and I got stuck with the bill! lol. (would do it again in a heart beat)

John

morriss 06-28-2009 09:18 AM

last name, first initial. SHANE MORRIS

I second WTF on 99% of lfausty's posts. I teach 9th graders, so I am usually up with all the latest "short for" texting stuff (i.e WTF). But dang, lfausty, come on now! Try using a period every once in a while.;)

Mike- No room to talk on the confusing messages here. It took me a good 2 minutes to figure what the heck you meant by ROFLMAF in one of your posts. :D

It's nice to find out a little more about everyone here. This forum is made up of people that like to help each other, can take take a joke (see directly above) and some ribbing, and get a good laugh with out getting ticked off.

This is a good place to be.

DMRK 06-29-2009 05:18 PM

My initials also. I have two middle names because my dad thought it would be cool if I had DM as my first two initials (Stands for Deutsche Mark) so I got Mark. My mom wanted Robert, so I got it too.

Cheers, Dave

tedward515 06-29-2009 06:34 PM

Mrmerlin, do you fly, restore, or just love old warbirds?

cudabnu 07-21-2009 11:49 AM

CUDABNU: Combo of "could've been you" and my 70 Cuda I had.

Komenda Fan 07-21-2009 12:02 PM

Named for Erwin Komenda, the designer who gave Porsche its distinctive look. From 1931 to his death in 1966 Komenda was chief engineer and leader of the Porsche car-body-construction department. You can follow his design language right through from the earliest 356 to todays 997. Thats pretty impressive. (not too mention his work on the Beetle)
