My ex-fiancee had HI Q TEE on his license plate. So, to be funny I got mine. When our cars were parked in the garage my plate said IBQTEE1 on the left side and his with HI Q TEE on the right. If you looked it almost seemed like the cars were talking to each other. Yes, I was a dork and the story is boring. :r

But telling that story once got me out a speeding ticket. The cop was like just for that I am going to let you go. :tu

Mine's easy! :D Wes is Gonesledn so I became MrsSledn. Since we are husband and wife after all.

It's funny to hear other BOTL or SOTL that we know, call him Mr. Sledn. ;)

And all this time I just thought you were conceited, Greg!:r

Just kidding!:D

Not conceited...just confident!

GTO's are usually called Goats and my goat was yellow-yellowgoat. :D

He's not really a wolf despite his own personal conviction... plus "WannaBeSledDogandWhisky" just didn't flow as well.

It's actually a derivation of "orangedogofglory" which turned into "orangedog" and now this. If you see orange dog or similar on another forum, odds are it is me - except on twitter, someone else took it.

Great idea for a thread! Mine is kind of a long and boring story of my middle school days, so I will spare you and tell you the essentials. We came up with nicknames for ourselves(yep, that is how cool I was :D ) and I passed a U-Turn sign and decided to throw the first two letters of my name in front of it making it 'druturn'. I have used it ever since!

Re: Origin of User Names?
 

Just a handle I use on a few other forums. Originated from my PC gaming days and is also my 360 gamertag.

so you're not an exiled p*rn star :r


have had this user name for years and it would fit on a license plate
was going to use "smilesalot" but it wouldn't fit on a license plate

I'm a huge Civil War buff and love everything about Gettysburg. I used to work at the battlefield for two summers giving interpretive programs.

Just a made up name i used when I played Video Games.

Re: Origin of User Names?
 

Mine is nothing special. Just looked at my old Colibri Jar and that is it. Kind of dumb and would probably change if I could. It stuck though.

Re: Origin of User Names?
 

< boring >

M1903 = the 1903 Springfield rifle, an American classic (even if it is just a plagiarized Mauser design) and our standard arm of 1-1/2 wars--along with plenty of little "brushfire wars" of the teens and 1920s and a sniping role in Korea and early Vietnam.

The A1 variant took the standard 1903 rifle's straight stock and replaced it with a "curved" pistol-grip stock, more like what you'd find on a hunting rifle. It was standardized in 1928, but because the Army had a ton of replacement stocks from WW1 to use up first in what little production there was in the interwar years, it wasn't until about 1940-41 that the M1903A1 variant was in serious production. Because they were made so briefly (and at the outset of a war in which most of them were used up), they are quite rare today.

< /boring >

At the time I signed onto the old CS, I was looking hard for a prewar M1903A1...and, well, I couldn't think of anything more original. Plus, it makes no sense to anybody who isn't a serious gun collector or WW2 buff, so I figured it would stand out.

The real VirtualSmitty was a boss of mine years ago. Dr. Smith was an old plastic surgeon who was actually pretty adept with computers, the engineer of our building used joke about how much time he spent online, after awhile his nickname in the building became virtualsmitty as more people caught wind of what he was actually doing. He was a really good person, was very good to me the years I knew him, after he died I just kinda started using it. Just one of those things I guess, I used to only lurk at CS, then one day Paul went and hid some of the forums and I had to register and the first thing that popped into my head was that.

Re: Origin of User Names?
 

Mine comes from a guitar tuning, Dropped D Tuning. In order to get a dropped d tuning you have to drop the low e to a low d.

It is a really cool tuning and has alot of balls and chunk to it.

Hence:
DropTheE!!


On a funnier note, on another board I was asked if I liked to take alot of ecstasy and so I liked to drop the e!! :r
To be honest I never thought of it that way, I like my origin better, it's much more healthy.

Re: Origin of User Names?
 

To be honest, that's the first thing I thought of (ecstacy) when I saw your name, but I think I dig the real reason better. I have an acoustic guitar and two electric bass guitars, none of which I know how to play! :r

Re: Origin of User Names?
 

In 2003, I bought a Suzuki Volusia motorcycle. A few days later I was searching the net for "Volusia" and came across a web forum for the bike, being that I'd never been on a forum before at that time, I learned that to join, I needed a screen name. Well, the night before, I watched The Terminator on TV, so, basically just combined the two and came up with "The Volusianator." The last couple years I dropped "The" and just used "Volusianator" as I got lazy.

Ahhh, I always thought it was like you power-smoked all your cigars.
I can smoke that double corona in twenty minutes, lol.


I hate threads like this, cause mostly people should keep their personal
info to themselves when they are actively breaking the law. But if Tom
can do it, what the hell. There used to be a place called the Ceegar Afishionado
forums, and everybody there was a jag-off, troll-hunting, pack-mentality, low-rent
F*%K. Well, almost everybody. I lost my old handle in a software change, and
when I came back, everybody thought I was somebody else, someone they had
already black-balled out of town. But it wasn't me. So they all started screaming
and jumping up and down on their branches and throwing feces, and I thought,
sheesh, screw this place. Then I went to a forum called Club Stogie, where they
wre supposed to be normal and accepting. My chosen Club Stogie handle was
One Lonely Smoker, cause I was the only one it seemed who thought something
was bad wrong at CA, and I left rather than continue beating my head against the wall.
They accepted me pretty fast at CS, and no one wanted to typy out my handle
when they mentioned my name, they just typed OLS. So I figured when this place
got started, might as well start that way and save folks the trouble.

Sailchaser comes from the fact that I chase after sailboats with the powerboat to take pictures and chase after fish like sail fish and oh yea I chase a gal called SailKat:r:r:r

Re: Origin of User Names?
 

My friends in college at one point claimed I look like Will Ferrell. I don't see it. In any event, we were watching Old School and Luke Wilson's character said "easy, big cat" to Frank the Tank. It was immediately applied to me. Some of them will still meow at me when I answer the phone.

Re: Origin of User Names?
 

I've read through all 133 of these posts and not many of the old dogs posting. I've been waiting on the big dogs to post in this thread forever.


TOE, where you at? Official banter thread with Icehog posters where you at? Masshole banterers where you at? SoCal members, where you at?

Re: Origin of User Names?
 

Yeah, I was really wanting to hear the ToE and other people, like reallllly weird names. :P

Re: Origin of User Names?
 

One member of the TOE has responded. It won't die yet.

Perhaps it could become a sticky if enough of the originals respond and it would be a great place for new members to give their explanation for their user names as well.

Way back when, I started playing Quake 2 and Quakeworld online. I used the name Superbad after the James Brown song. It just stuck with me. People now think it is from the movie, but it predates it by at least 15 years.

Re: Origin of User Names?
 

massphatness is just a little play on words. I live in MA, and I'm no ones idea of skinny. Using phat instead of fat appealled to my silly side plus gave me the illusion of phenomenal coolness. So instead of GreatBigFatGuy, I'm massphatness.

Always remember to put on a shirt before wearing your wonkmaster badge.
