Mike Lindsey Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I would have to say that mine is rather obvious. I am registered on 5 other HT/Audio boards all with the same name. Mostly because the first one I joined, required it to be your real name in one fashion or another, and I preferred to keep it simple. However, my id on every other board (car boards, ebay, audiogon, etc) is luvmy92. That name comes from my modified '92 Corvette and is also the car's vanity tag...

jhawk92 Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I have been out of town for the past several days, so I am a bit behind on my forum reading. Thanks much to HornEd and HDRBbuilder for giving the history of the Jayhawk moniker. As Boa correctly said, I am an alum of the U of Kansas in Lawrence, graduated in '92, and our mascot is the Jayhawk. Yes, our colors are Crimson and Blue, and the Jayhawk is decked out in those colors, with a bright yellow beak; hence "Beak 'em Hawks!" Waaay back when I started on the internet (yikes, it was with AOL) I set up my screen name. They wouldn't allow numbers ahead of letters and had to be less than 8 characters, so instead of 92jayhawk, it became jhawk92. I did have a vanity plate with 92jhawk for a while, but military moves kept me from renewing that plate. Maybe once I settle back down, I'll revive the plate.

edster00 Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 My first name is Ed and edster has been a nick for quite a while (among others I won't share here!). When I tried to register with edster I got an error message saying edster was already taken. I added the "00" since it was y2k and I am a big "00". Actually every site I have ever tried to register a username as edster has returned an "edster is already in use, please choose another" and I have NEVER seen an edster anywhere...wassupwidat??

space_cowboy Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I was listening to some tunes late one night and that one Steve Miller tune that starts with the lyrics "I told you 'bout livin' in the US of A" caught my attention for some reason even though I'd heard it 100's of times.

Deang Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 First name and middle initial - Dean Gregory No last name, because somewhere, somehow - I got the silly idea that people were supposed to try and stay anomynous on messages boards. My moniker started out as the 'paper airplane', and after a few hundred posts I promoted myself to the 'UFO', which is more appropriate anyways -- because of my facination with them, and all things paranormal. Hey Wes, what do you think of Sasquatch, Wendigos, Ball of Lights, ectoplasm, and inner space.

Audio Flynn Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 I was the high school band roadie and AV geek. I was on the school newspaper staff 1976-1978. Someone came up with the idea to write a continuing column for audio neophytes. The task was assigned to me and one of the editors decided it should be headlined as ... Audio Flynn on Receivers Audio Flynn on Speakers and so forth. One of the bands I worked for had a tee shirt made up that had their logo on the front and Audio Flynn on the back across the shoulders. And the rest is history... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomer9911 Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Boomer, goes back to my Fire Academy days, when as a rookie Private Firefighter(CDN Military)I had to explain in a report what would happen in a certain scenario with HE(High Explosive). My last sentence was "and the end result would be a huge BOOM and it would take out 1/2 a city block". It's stuck for many years. 99, easy one, being from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and if you follow hockey and the Edmonton Oilers from 1980 and beyond(Edmonton Oil Kings previously)Gretzky. I was fortunate to see him, Messier, Kurri, Coffee, Fuhr, Anderson, Linesman, etc for that span, best hockey I have ever seen(should have seen the Stanley Cup parties downtown ) Now it's about $$$$$$$ unfortunately, and not the love of the game. The 11, is a free Public Service announcement for 911, hence 9911. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Favog Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 The name?? Tom Blasing (as in Blazing Saddles). But enough horsin' around. It's really kind of a cool name to have to go along with some of employment my family has had. My father, as some of you know, is a retired Cincinnati Firefighter and at my last job I ran the Firearms Dept. at a local store chain. It just gave that unsaid feeling to other employees to not **** with me. Mom's side of the family has been traced back to a man name Oakie VanOsdol (1757-1849). Yes, he fought in the Revolutionary War. A cousin of mine has recently traced our family to the 1500's. The best part of all this is that I have no idea where any of these babbelings are going. ------------------ Tom's Money Pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 It is my nature to goof around (surprise!), and in the early days of my carpentry career, I developed a character, Mr. Fini, the oldest carpenter, whom I would become for the entertainment of my co-workers. With his pants pulled up to his ****, pelvis tilted forward, and generally hunched over, Mr. Fini would scoot around the jobsite randomly measuring the distance between irrelevant points, mumbling the results to whomever might be around. Now that I think about it, his demeanor was based on a Tim Conway character (the old guy that takes forever to walk from one point to another...while Harvey Korman cracks up). Nowadays, fini seems to mean that when I post in a thread, it usually dies. And now you know...the rest...of the story. Good day! fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll have to talk about that on some other board Dean, good to know there's another admirer of what the Lakotas called Wakan Tankas (Great Mysteries). Speaking of Sasquatch, I grew up in a small town in the South West Arkansas/East Texas area. There was a rather poor movie made about one of the local legends from another nearby town, the movie was called "The Legend of Boggy Creek". The locals simply referred to it as theThe Fouke Monster, named after the small town of Fouke, Arkansas. As best I can recall an old gentleman named Smokey Crabtree did his best to keep the legend alive. Yea, I bet we could conjure up some interesting conversations. But as you said, best kept to another board. Anyone interested in a vacationing in Roswell, New Mexico?

Maybe you ought to use that new camera and get the wife to snap a photo of your "Mr. Fini" shtick! -HornED PS: How about using your influence to have Clipped and Shorn reveal the "rest of the story" of how he picked the "C&S" moniker for this Forum.

Tommytutor Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 About twenty-six years ago a friend of mine started calling me Tommytooter. My first name is Tom. I started using the name on the internet as an I.D. except I spelled it Tommytutor, not tooter, because I never checked the actual spelling until the time of this post. The tooter part actually came from the Tooter Turtle cartoon. Remember the Help Mr. Wizard!! Dwissom dwassom dwissom dwoom, time for this one to come home? Anyway, thats how I came about with the name I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
