Where did you get your user name ?

[mojoguy]

Some are obvious.....names/initials/cities with year models of bikes.

Mine comes from the hunting lease I've been on for years. I use "Mojo" ducks in my decoy spread. When fellow hunters/new guys refer to whos that guy doing all the shootin ? what guy ? the guy with the mojoducks. Oh the "mojoguy". So I used it on this forum

BTW, all the shootin means it usually takes me 3 shots to catch up with a bird :oops:

[HondaPartsGuy]

I've worked for American Honda Wholesale Parts division for over 26 years , nuff said.

[Biodude]

I maintian medical equipment. which is where the bio part comes from, back when AOL first came out, a guy a worked with and I loaded it on the the work computer to see what it was about, since we were both using it, he said we should call ourselves biodudes. I dropped the S and have pretty much been using it ever since. I've used different endings here and there but the bio has always stayed

[nash.VTX]

and I thought mojo came from Austin Powers...

nash is part of my name and just added .vtx as (believe it or not) this was my first forum. I subsiquently joined a couple of other forums but retained the same handle as I find it difficult to remember too many ids and pws.

BTW - this should have been in the general forum :popcorn:

I got named Tiny because I am 6'4" and 295 lbs. Isn't that what all of us big guys are nicknamed?

[Terminals]

"TERMINALS"

I have been involved in the automotive aftermarket (auto parts)
since 1975.
About 14 years ago I started a small company selling
Terminals, Fuses, Nylon Ties, Bulbs, Wire, Loom, Body shop clips,
Heat Shrink, Pigtails & Sockets and other related items.

Until the complete fiasco of the government bailout of GM and Chrysler,
my avatar showed some of the terminals I distribute.

I will probably change it back pretty soon.

:doorag:

[woody3]

Just my nickname for many years. Someone already has Woody so I chose Woody3. Actually, I am the third in my family with the same full name.

[Redjack]

Many years ago I was on some chat site that required you to fill out basic information about yourself that seemed kind of silly for what it was. One of the questions was about what your occupation was. So in the most serious typing mode I could muster I wrote" retired serial killer". For my screen name I chose Redjack. For history buffs of sensational crimes you may recall (or not) that Redjack was one of the names used by the person eventually to be called "Jack the Ripper". I, in my sick little mind, kind of was tickled by whole thing and have used it ever since. Now I am older and more mature and still have that sick little streak that just can't let go. Most assume it was because I have red hair or must be named Jack. The site admins never did question me about it.

[KeyWasted]

Waaaaay back in the early 70's when I was a young-un I would travel to the Keys alot to party and get well........you know, "typsy." It was also my first boats name in 86. And my current boats name as well. :thumbup:

This thread made me think back to what I was driving in 1986. A 1984 Corvette and the tag was 1-AHNUKI :lol:

[iuhoosier1992]

I graduated from Indiana University in 1992.

[KenzX]

I originally joined here as "VZRider" in 2003 because I worked for Verizon (VZ is the stock call sign) and I was a rider. Then when I retired in 2004, I changed to "KenzX" which stood for "Ken's VTX" and also matched my bike's personalized plate. I had a number of people ask me if I got my bike when I got my divorce (I guess they figured that the X meant my ex-wife and that I got a bike to spite her.) I got tired of explaining that I was not divorced so I changed my plate to "KC VTX" and I changed my user name here to "KC VTX" as well. Well, there is a VTXKC and several other close combinations, so I asked LaMont to change me back to "KenzX" and here I am...still not divorced. :doorag:

[YellowFx4]

My F-150 is............yellow.

[LRP VTX]

Mine's pretty simple.......my initials. On other boards I would use Taz because as a kid, I loved watching the Tazmainian devil cartoon. But, I think Taz was used on this board (or, the old board when I started).

[aardvark]

simple...
From the Ant & The Aardvark cartoon,which was part of the old Pink Panther animated series...

Actually,I was trying to get a name that would put me close to the front of the alphabetical line so to speak..

Figured starting with "AA" would work,and aardvark seemed to make sense..

Other than that,it has no significance at all...

[Duug]

My given name at birth.

[roughrider]

I have read a few books written by Teddy. In the first book he had gone west to try his hand at ranching. He had great respect for the really tough cowhands that had earned the name roughrider. It was common for them to wear out two or three horses in a day during roundup time. In later years when he had a command he proudly named them "The rough riders".
I sometimes like to ride as far and fast as I can to get to a place and have gone over a 1000 miles a few times in a day and 1249 is the most ever registered on my odometer in a day (not one mile of interstate, most on the Alcan). I'm learning to smell the roses and enjoy riding with friends. So the roughrider days may be over?:dontknow: sb

[tonguewagler]

It's a nickname an old girlfriiend gave me. No really whenever I am doing something that takes consentrasion I end up with my tongue sticking out. And I used to drive a front load Redi-mix truck and pour concrete , and one of the contractors we poured for all the time gave me this nick name, because everytime I was laying down the mud my tongue would come out and he would start laughing and there came this nickname Touguewagler. Got call it everyday after that and kinda liked it. So when it came to a screen name thought it sounded like a good one. But it could have been a nickname from an old girlfriend or my wife. Later

The other is just wrong lol but I'll give you your props.



Primarily for the boys from Hockeytown.

When I used to game a lot (COD On-line, I have some skillz) RedWings was one of the names I used. Often I was put in charge of our clan. So the name changed to "RedWings - Commander". This always got lots of lulz. So many people would ask about it that I made up a story; one that got put into the Urban Dictionary by another gamer (you'll have to look it up yourself).


Earned mine at 17 :thumbup:

Don't recall the age, but I earned mine too!



Peace...

[Chicago-Spike]

Spike = From my first Lt at the firehouse. Went and saw Rocky 4 at the show. A few months later was dropping my girlfriend(now wife ) off at work and said I was going to get my haircut like Ivan Draggo. She laughed and said "Right, I dare you to". At that time, I had the typical 80's hair shoulder length and feathered back at the sides. Walked into the firehouse and with the hair moused up to points, my Lt said "Nice haircut Spike" That's all it took, although once when I cut racing stripes into the sides I went to Stripe. But the Chief said "No more Stripes".
Came on the VTXOA on the first go 'raound and was just "Spike". Then they went to a new server and I tried to sign up and found someone stole Spike from under me. So, Chicago was added ;)

[OvErKiLL{N99}]

i was tagged "sodapop" by my old Outlaw bud Crazy Dave. i always went in his bar and order," whatever soda ya got back there, lite on the ice?"
so he called me sodapop.
he learned i drank sodas to keep my head about myself incase chit happened i was clear headed.
i use to hang with and money back my 2 friends who where great pool shooters. 6 and 9 ball tournys. :firstplace: good money. :-P

i became a bartender/bouncer at our friend's biker hole in tha wall bar, and i got tagged "Overkill", OK for short,
because the low tolerance i had and the ways i went about clearing bar fights. :twisted:

the {N99} is in reference to Necron 99 of the animated movie Wizards.
Necron 99 was a assasin created for war by an evil wizard.
N99 no longer wants war and is renamed Peace.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizards_(film)

[DrRadar]

I worked for a defense contractor for a long time. I developed test stations and upgrades for military avionics systems.
I worked on the F-16 and F-15 radar systems and worked with our technicians to heal sick and dying fire control radars.

I traveled worldwide helping foreign countries that had F-16s.

Hence DrRadar.

It was also my car tag on my RX8.

Now my Avalon (work car) tag is KIDSATM. My kids(and wife) think I am an ATM.
