Explain Your Username

[timswi]

Im a carpenter and a gearhead, the monte in my avatar has a healthy 383 stroker sbc in it.

Not to change the subject, but is that a circa '85 Monte SS?...Love that model...That and the '72.

To stay on subject:
My first name is obvious, the second part is a piece of my last name...No one could pronounce it, so that's my nickname, among others....

 

[lakngulf]

I live on Lake Martin (lak) and my wife and I bought a condo in Gulf Shores in 2005 when we got married (ngulf). I was joining the Lake Martin forum and the Gulf Shores forum at the same time, and wanted to use the same user name, thus lakngulf. (And yes, we did buy at the top of the market and everything has crashed since then. And yes, we are very concerned about the BP oil gusher.)

 

[WH401]

I collect Wheel Horse garden tractors and the first model I got was a 1961 401.

 

[lucky llama]

My wife is nick named the LLama and she wanted a horse farm. Things worked out and we were able to purchase some land and she became the Lucky Llama. And thus the Lucky Llama Ranch was born.

 

[beersngars]

Simple... I like BEERS - n - GARS.... (cigars). :thumbsup:

 

[Iplayfarmer]

My Username is out of respect for the real farmers out there. I could never expect to measure up to someone who makes a living at it. I just play farmer on the weekends... Iplayfarmer.

 

[Renze]

just guess...

Close! It's an 86 model, I've Owned it for 12 yrs now, it's not real practical for me anymore but it's fun:thumbsup:

I'm an associate member of the Red Rock 4 wheelers in Moab.

 

[CDsdad]

My dad is LD, I'm RD, my son is CD. I'm sure you get it from there.

 

[schmism]

the first company i worked for assigned network log in names based on first 5 of last name, first then middle initial.

easy for me to remember and (so far) 100% of the time its available to use on some forum/website when i sign up.

 

[wroughtn_harv]

wroughtn harv came about like most of my ideas. One day it just appeared and I liked it so much that I adopted it.

 

[jayste]

No exciting story to tell. When I signed up I used my first name and three letters of my last name. Jay Stewart. Boring, I know. What can I say?

 

[keyser soze]

I thought I could best explain mine by using the wikipedia entry for which my username/handle is derived from. Obviously without the umlauts (two dots over the o).

"Keyser Söze (pronounced /ˈkaɪzər ˈsoʊzeɪ/ KYE-zər SOH-zay) is a fictional character in the 1995 film The Usual Suspects. Söze is an underworld kingpin whose ruthlessness and influence have acquired a legendary, and even mythical, status among law enforcement agents and criminals alike."

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, so I chose this name, and use it on most forums that I am on. It always seems to be available.

A picture is worth many words,

 

[JC-jetro]

Well, I'll bring up the caboose

I'm a city slicker farmer wannabe, gentleman that is!! One of the shows I really enjoyed while I was in college was "Beverly Hilbillies", and my Hero was "jethro bodine Clampett" hands down, who was a country boy, city slicker wannabe. In his honor I picked up "jetro" and combined it with the fact I live in Johnson County, Kansas where all the beautiful people live.

So, I combined them both and picked my handle as "JC-Jetro'

JC,

 

[ScottyChip]

Well, a brand of potatoe chips I would favour in the sixties was named scotties, hence scottychip.
Really enjoyed the read.

 

[Inspector507]

MY profession is doing building inspections. That's the Inspector part.

I specialize in Electric Inspections. At one time when they assigned computer terminal numbers to all of us, Electric was assigned to the 500 series. Alphabetically, I was #7, hence 507.
SO there you have Inspector507

 

[oldnslo]

Cause I is Old N Slo.....

 

[Baldyonthehill]

Nothing on top (very little inside the cranium, also) and live on top of a ridge. First thing that came to mind when I signed on.
