Grimson · Post by **Grimson** » Fri Mar 01, 2002 9:16 pm

Recently accquired Stu Grimson, he joined the Nashville Predators last year. He has the image of a true badass. Not to mention I'm a badass too.

I just like him because I saw him knock a guy out with one punch in a game when he was with the Kings.

This is always fun, Ken......

Mine is inspired by gravity and wheels.

I am surrounded by mountians....and ski lifts......which charge a small fee to haul you and your bike to the top of the mountian, all day long.

I've even competed a couple of times in the old fart division. It's always good for a medal since there aren’t many older folk around, willing to race.

AAF Striker · Post by **AAF Striker** » Fri Mar 01, 2002 9:22 pm

AAF Striker. Well, back in the day when I played Rainbow Six we were called American Assault Force. That's the AAF part. And the Striker was just somewhat made up. It sounded cool and I was always killing everyone ... so Striker became. But AAF is cool now because it can also be Alien Ant Farm

That's about it, my name is not special....

Mine was my nickname is high school and it stuck over the years. They called me beaker after the character from the muppets. I really never fully understood why, but it just grew on me.

MadDoctor · Post by **MadDoctor** » Fri Mar 01, 2002 9:26 pm

I was several posters before I was MadDoctor. A fight broke out between Norm and Lobo so I signed on as a new user called NormsDoctor. After the dispute was settled, Norm PM’d me and asked that I change my name to something other than NormsDoctor [understandable]. Not knowing what to do I picked MadDoctor which brought David (a real doctor) into the mix. He asked if I was a real doctor (I was once with the girl next door when I was 10… she called herself mouse at that time) and I said I was MAD but not a doctor. I agreed not to prescribe Methadone over the Internet and he agreed not to rip my heart out through my kneecap.

terrancelam · Post by **terrancelam** » Fri Mar 01, 2002 9:43 pm

I may have already explained this once..hehe but I'm sure not alot of people know..Terrance Lam is just an identity I use. Story behind it ? When I was 14 and I believed in things like "fake IDs", I went out and got one and when he asked me for a name, I was unsure and though "What is the most stereo typical asian name I can think of?" And Terrance Lam was what popped into my mind and all my friends know that when I reffer to my fake ID (Which by the way sucks and doesn't work.), they know about Terrance

(One reason everyone that I showed it to know about it is that I was so nervous the day I got it was that I signed my own name on the bottom of the ID instead of Terrance Lam!)

I don't know of any other name would suit me, but I was considering a name change.

Noevo · Post by **Noevo** » Fri Mar 01, 2002 9:43 pm

It's a long complicated/sorted story really. Oh wait...thats another tale..

Noevo. Short for No Evolution. Not the evolving kind of evolution, but the Harley-Davidson engine know as the Evolution, or Evo for short. At the time I was very opposed the the engine. It was new, therefore bad. Actually, it just didn't sound or feel like the engine I had become accutomed to. The shovelhead. So Noevo was born.

Of course, I have since seen the error of my ways and own a Harley with an Evolution engine. But, I like the name and it's unique, has a story, and is just a damn cool nickname if you ask me

end of story...

...or is it?

CoolJ · Post by **CoolJ** » Fri Mar 01, 2002 9:44 pm

It all started back when I was 14 and got online for the first time. My names Joe and I wanted to get like "Joe Cool" "Cool Joe". Everytime I tried it, id get "Joe Co8646547865478654875647865" or "Cool Joe457489758475435". And I wanted a screen name that was easy to remember. So I played with Cool Joe for a bit and Came up with CoolJ (Everyone thinks I like LL CoolJ-lol).

drdoug99 · Post by **drdoug99** » Fri Mar 01, 2002 10:11 pm

I'm a doctor, and my names Doug, and when I thought of the name, 99 was the number of awards I've received due to my brilliance.

the number is far greater now

I wish, that would be sweet. Back in 1997, I got my first computer, and bugged my parents for like a month straight to let me get AOL, so I could see what this internet was all about...I couldn't think of a name, but drdoug sounded cool, but that was taken, so I put 99 at the end, just cuz I thought it was cool sounding...and I've been known as drdoug99 ever since.

Macho-Module because I am a 500 pound chap wearing Latino journalist with a notepad, a leather beret, and enough Viagra to kill us all.

Actually I just really like hardware and modules sounded "kinda [H]ard" and Macho was all I could think of...

mikemean · Post by **mikemean** » Fri Mar 01, 2002 10:15 pm

mikemean---Mike is my first name. I was at work one day and the produce guy was joking around and called me mikemean. I thought, Hey, that would be a cool name to use for internet purposes.

blebs · Post by **blebs** » Fri Mar 01, 2002 10:22 pm

blebs=In 1991 or there abouts, I had a open lung biopsy and the Doc's found little raised blemishes on my lungs that they refered to as blebs. I wanted something unique and thought this was it. I'm surprised to see how many other blebs there are out on the net!

I tried to use blebs91, but everywhere I went it was taken. blebs99 wasn't, hence there you have it.

Real Name-Ross Young

Simple as that.

Mike_W · Post by **Mike_W** » Fri Mar 01, 2002 11:21 pm

Not hard to guess mine. Mike is my first name...W is for my last name. I didnt originally think I'd enjoy forums, but now I am hooked. It's much better than IRC chat (which I am a veteran of, thank God) because you don't have to put up with all the wars and taking over of rooms, all the crap that happens in chat now. I simply chose a quick name in order to register for this forum, and still using it. Not to offend those who use nicknames, but I don't feel the need to hide with a nickname, which I always felt I was doing when on IRC. Too old to pretend now (38 years) and I am here simply because I enjoy learning what I can about this newfangled box called a computer.
My computer has taken place of my motorcycles, but the need for speed and performance won't go away. Just fortunate that I can't get any speeding tickets with the computer!
Hmmm...now that I think about it, my "nick" in IRC was "fastmike".
Got a lot of questions about that nick, but, again, it was related to motorcycles...not sex.

***This is for Brembo*** I agree with ya on the Brembo products. They also make most excellent motorcycle brake parts (pads, rotors, lines, calipers). Top notch!!

***This is for UOD*** I was so impressed by your avatar, that I just had to make one for myself. I hope you don't think I stole your idea. You get the credit! I am just a follower!
