How did you decide on your screen name?

[Bigtanker]

What I drive at work.
Nuff said.

 

[Lebowski]

I wanted a username that was different than the username I use on other forums. I usually create a new name for each forum I post on unless it's a forum related to the industry I work in, then I use the same name on those which is different than what I have here.

It's just a way of keeping my 'professional' life and personal life separate.

I couldn't think of a name for INGO and I had recently watched The Big Lebowski again, so here we are.

 

[Redtbird]

Since October 1998, all four cars I've bought have been Thunderbirds. My first two were a 1987 and a 1994... Both red. Hence, Redtbird. Still have a dark green 96 and a "multi-color" 97.

 

[Birds Away]

Apparently I'm not fond of birds...or something like that.

 

[skulhedface]

Possibly the dumbest thing you'll see all day.

[Lectric102002]

Been in the electrical biz for 42 years, so......

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I've carried a handgun for 40 years. Over that time, I've seen techniques and tactics change and improve, and try to incorporate those 'modern' techniques when/wherever possible. So, 'ModernGunner'.

Well, now I REALLY feel old! I thought this screen name was a reference to the old Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters:

Ha! Well, actually that played a part as well...

 

[cobber]

"Kirk Freeman" was taken.

Ok, not what I was thinking at all. I thought "I know what wtf means, but what does d661 mean?"

[chef larry]

Culinary Arts at Ivy Tech and I love to cook/eat.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I don't remember where I heard it first. I think I heard/read somebody berating somebody as a "God fearing, gun toting, something-something-something...." I thought--yeah, that pretty much describes me, so I snagged it. I'm glad I didn't keep the rest of it!

 

[loudpedal]

My favorite pedal in a go kart is the loud one. The other one is like a mute button.

 

[DragonGunner]

I was top M-47 Dragon Gunner in the old 24th Infantry back in the 80's. Seemed to fit here at INGO.

{gamer nerd alert}
Waaaay back in '98, I found a little gem of a racing game for the original PlayStation called TOCA Championship Racing. Excellent racing physics - including car damage - and realistic and challenging AI, real world tracks and it had a in-car view that was unparalleled at the time. If I could find a copy of it, I could probably still drive the Brands Hatch circuit with my eyes closed. It also introduced me to the British Touring Car Championship racing series and the world of real auto racing - not the boring circlejerk that has become NASCAR or the flimsy cars of F1 and IndyCar.

 

[bluewraith]

Had this handle for years and years.. my first truck was a blue Ford Ranger, and at the time I had just read The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring. Took a fancy to the Ringwraiths.. Combine the two and you get Bluewraith.

Before that was Runepride because I translated the runic alphabet from The Hobbit in my free time. lol

[cbseniour]

I just use my first 2 initials and my last name. To me using an alias or screen name gives the user too much anonimity and releaves too much social responsibility.
Just my personal feelings not trying to scold or take the high ground.
