[smokinhole]

[OBIO]

About the time I made my first screenname, I had a fat cat named tig walk into the room. I couldn't think of anything better.

It's a darn thing Deb didn't come walking into the room when I was setting up my user name..otherwise you folks would know me as "Debisnekkid" or "whatyouwantdonenow" or something like that.

I was lucky...........

[Stratobat]

It was a choice between Stratobat (I was watching Batman) and Sparky (I have three friends who call me Sparky on account of having shocked myself twice on two seperate occasions).

Officially this is my second legal name.

When I was first born I had a different name but after a few months I was adopted , given a new name and this has stuck with me ever since

Pete.

Were you ever told what your original name was?

[bstolle]

After finding out that it isn't always a good idea to post with your real name, as the Internet never forgets, I was looking for an alternative when joining new forums.
So when I needed one for SOH I simply chose the airplane my father learned flying on....the SG38

[roger-wilco-66]

All those who are old enough will remember the Space Quest games, and its protagonist Roger Wilco. The first sequel came out in 1987, I think (16 colors EGA graphics, and even moving sprite figures and other amazing stuff).
This coupled with my birth year has been my screen name ever since in the early nineties. Many people know neither of Space Quest (shows I'm getting old...) nor voice procedures and think this is my real name. Oh well...

Cheers,
Mark

Yes ... John Hicks. Think I still have the original Birth Certificate somewhere.

Pete.

[Crusader]

I choose the name Crusader in honor of a pilot in my unit in Vietnam . VMFA(AW)-235 "Death Angels" in 1967(F-8's) . I got to know him on the way overseas as I first went to MCAS Iwakuni , Japan for six months then we rotated to Danang for six months . We ran into each other a few times in Vietnam(Usually out on the flightline) as I was an Aviation Ordnanceman . I later found out after I left to go home he was killed when he flamed out and went into the bay and apparently drown . He and all others who gave the "Supreme Sacrifice" in all wars will always be inbedded in my thoughts .

[tonybones2112]

I received the general nickname "Tony Bones" as my "streetname" from a close friend of mine who, among other things, loans money at exorbitant interest rates, one of those lucky scions of immigrants whose name ends in a vowel. He had offered me a job(collecting defaulted "loans") but not being part of his ethnic group I had to refuse, plus I don't wield a blackjack except for strictly personal reasons. He did give me a streetname however, and I am known in several cities as Tony "Bones" due to my former work as a mortician. The "2112" came from one of my favorite record albums, 2112 by RUSH. I chose another email due to the TB2112 email has been practically taken over by porn spam(I prefer live women, not pictures)and I have abandoned it. This was done to me back in the says when I thought someone was a friend and actually wasn't, but that was in my early days on the Web.

Yopu got to be real careful about who you meet on the internet.

Had I known there was such a proliferation of Japanese aircraft for CFS2 I would have chosen as a username my little joking signature I use sometimes, "Bonesimoto". If ever I have to re-register I think that's the ID I'll go with.

Bones

[AckAck]

I've got three versions, one of which might be at least partially true...

1) Being tall , oldest, and named McIntyre, Big Mac was always a popular nickname in school. Which was often shortened to Mac or MacMac. (which isn't really shorter, but easier to say). Leave off the pesty M, and it is Ack-Ack.

2) Anti-aircraft artillery - AAA, triple-A, Flak, the golden BB, Archie, AA, Ack-Ack.

3) Mother in law lived in Nantucket, the airport code is ACK, and all the luggage routed there has my username on it.

4) Bill the Cat from Bloom County said it a lot. *this one is not true, but is the reason for the avatar, since someone here pointed that out the last time this question was asked...

The only thing I miss from the 80s(besides the poverty) is Bloom County, and Bill was my favorite, he said it all. What he had to say is still relevant.

"ACK!"

[raptor19]

First thing I thought of based on one of my e-mail addresses. Wish I had chosen something to do with my Avatar instead now as my Dad worked on those in WWII, still got some of his photos from that time. Henry's favourite aeroplane and one of mine too. Now let me see how do you spell M-s-ie? If I knew it was possible and how to do it then I would change it.

[Little Chacha]

My Mom is Chacha, I am her daughter, so I am Little Chacha. Pretty soon I will be a big Chacha and she will be the small Chacha. I grow faster. I am Hannah Elisha - my Mom is Elisha Hannah, she has eight names I have only two. Bye. From Hannah.
