Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge What's in a name???

Your name is Scolin?

OK, Skid, but not in the way that most would think. It has to do with the way that I always drove my vehicles off road. Sliding them in the corners etc. Everyone just though that Skid sounded better as a joke then Slider, when attached to my real first name of Mark!.
Mark

it is now, until we can use "Special Characters" that is, I suppose that we are all "Special Characters" in here tho'

Some are more "special" than others

My son and I had a long time joke about the old TV show Lassie. So when we moved from the "BIG CITY" of Tampa, to the country of north Georgia I started to call him "Timmy" and he started calling me "Paw". He then made up a silly little song with a line that went something like----"Hi diddle-de-de, my Pawdiddle and me"

The rest is history!

brokenfixed is my first bands name

The story on that is the drummer had a horrible drumset that was more duct tape than drums. And we'd play a song and fix it then play another and tape his sticks back together. And after a while when we were searching for a name it came to me "brokenfixed" as in his set was not quite fixed it was brokenfixed.

I use the name for usernames cause its never used, except ebay.

Surname: Lowe

:P

Being an old goat, mine speaks for itself.

needed a handle when I first got a computer so I just took
where I lived, Colonial Beach. So I became: cbeacher

I've been a transmission rebuilder for a looong time. Since I have worked for Mr.Transmission Inc.for most of that time, my vendors know me as Mr.T and my franchise # is... yep, 202.

i got into a dispute with the local union after being a member for 20 years [electrician] went into business myself as a "rat contractor". had an artist draww up a big ole' fat rat with a tool belt on and a hat that read "lester" on it's head. had it printed up on several t=shirts emblazoned "FATRAT". wore that to some craw-dad boils at supply houses,,just to be contrary,,mostly, i reckon..

I can respect contrary.

After getting nailed by a Daisy Cutter, Osama made his way to the pearly gates. There, he is greeted by George Washington. "How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!" yells Mr. Washington, slapping Osama in the face.

Patrick Henry comes up from behind. "You wanted to end the Americans' liberty, so they gave you death!" Henry punches Osama on the nose.

James Madison comes up next, and says "This is why I allowed the Federal government to provide for the common defense!" He drops a large weight on Osama's knee.

Osama is subject to similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James Monroe, and 65 other people who have the same love for liberty and America.

As he writhes on the ground, Thomas Jefferson picks him up to hurl him back toward the gate where he is to be judged.

As Osama awaits his journey to his final very hot destination, he screams "This is not what I was promised!"

An angel replies "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you, idiot. What did you think I said?"


I started using the name a few years ago on another forum (reno4x4.com) after my usual screen name was taken. I'm originally from Virginia so, I wanted to incorporate that as well.

LOL, wow...not sure what I got a bigger kick out of: your story or your quote.

Something that stuck from my friends. Mostly because they would mispronounce or misspell my last name.

For Wade:

Born and raised in Buffalo, NY...Kills me to leave there, it is truely a great rust belt city, but the economy has been run ito the ground with decades of bad politics....That being said, i am one of those unfortunate die hard Bills fans, and their old red logo from the '60's eas know and as the "Standing Buffalo."

I am the president of a local Bills Backers Club in Charlotte...you guesed it...The Standing Buffalo Club. Have been using that as user name ever since...

Thanks , John . Now we know . I was kinda hopin' it would be a Lokota Souix thing .

Dwight, the name was Scott Wideright.

The Speedmaster is Black, and I ride a lot at night, too.

Always liked old Indian names - they meaned something to them for good reasons.

I'm handy with PC type computers and local area networks. I teach at a career college where my colleagues and students started calling me doctor. Heck, the only thing I've got a doctorate in is from the school of hard knocks. But, I started using it as a handle. I'm also a Baptist preacher. At the local bike shop where I got my 06SM (totalled 6 mos later RIP) and my 06BA (21Kmiles)they call me "Preacher." When I signed on I used DrPC to keep anonymity. But after being on the site for a while, I feel a real, not virtual, connection to the other members. Thanks gus and gals. You are all special folks. God Bless you all! BTW also born in '57'

I'm a Iowa Hawkeyes fan ( and a native Iowan, the Hawkeye state ), needed a name for the Iowa fan sites, and I am a lover of Looney Tunes, so I naturally thought of Henery Hawk. It just so happens that it is a very, very good fit for my personality, determined, perseverant, and full of attitude ( at times ).

coz i'm just an old rocker at heart and it seems rather apt here!

British Steel is a heavy metal album by Judas Priest, released on April 14 1980
