Why is your name...?

[Mmaxed]

The first forums I signed up for were for snowmobiles and pickups.  My name is Mark and at the time I had a Mountain Max sled and a Dura Max pickup.

 

[dbishopbliss]

When I tried to sign up for my first email account dbliss was taken so I inserted my middle name.  On some forums I am known as bluegti.  Guess the color and model of the car I had at the time?

 

[Alonzo]

Just my first name, my mother was taking Italian at the time of my birth, I came out with my fists up and swinging so she found a name that meant "ready for battle".  It generates confusion sometimes because it's also a Spanish name (with the same meaning) and I don't speak Spanish.

 

[rif]

Rif comes from my last name-it's been my nickname for as long as I can remember.

On a tangent my avatar is from a set of figurines/scenes my grandfather used to make out of telephone company wire.

But I am left wondering what a comic high power rifle competitor would be like...

Two competitors walk into a bar. One turns to the other and says "now don't go shooting your mouth off again"...John

I got frustrated back in the early days of the internet (early 90's) trying to make a userid for a site without having to add numbers to the back of my name.  I had been reading a lot of Douglas  Hofstadter at the time and it seemed logical to combine the words Porcupine and Contrapunctus into something that no one else would ever use (probably for good reason).  It worked.

Ironically, it was many years later that I became a fan of Porcupine Tree.

A world without coincidence would be much stranger still.

From http://www.umich.edu/~umfandsf/symbolismproject/symbolism.html/Teutonic_Mythology/ringsym.html

"In Siegfried, the young hero meets up with a mysterious Wanderer, who is really his grandfather, the god Wotan, in disguise. Throughout Teutonic mythology, the all-father Wotan (Wagner's version of Odin) transforms himself so he can travel freely amongst the nine worlds. Similarly, Wagner's Wotan is also famed for his various disguises; ........"

  "Holy name calling Batman! Who'd a guessed the depth of this mysterious 'Wanderer?' "

"Indeed Robin...indeed." "Alfred! Gas up the Batter-mobile, and don't skimp on the gas, I'll know if you do."

  "WILL THE DYNAMIC DUO SEEK OUT THIS 'WANDERER?' AND IF THEY DO, MIGHT HE BE...A COUSIN? TUNE IN NEXT TIME! SMAE BAT TIME, SAME BAT CHANNEL."

In Highlanders case, "There can be only one"..  but apparently in our own Highlander (4krows) case, "There cannot be only one scotch"....

For just a split second,  I thought, Wow his first car was a blue Buggatti!

Yeah, I am just one pretentious little bastard ain't I....and besides "FuzzyBunny" was already taken. 

 

[4krow]

  Wanderer,  Your a good sport. We like to have fun here sometimes.  I just knew that the handles used would have some interesting stories. No disappointment.

 

[rockdrummer]

Rockdrummer was the first thing that came to mind. I am a music teacher/band director/pit director and couldn't imagine working without music and other musicians.
I was a piano player so i could be a drummer in 5th grade band.

  My father was a music teacher. he played jazz piano like no other. He also played trumpet. Those are beautiful memories. I've rarely been without music, either performing or listening to, in my life.

 

[caffeinator]

Like a few others here, I needed a unique monicker and sort of grabbed the first one that was handy...I think I'd seen caffeinator on another bulletin board somewhere in the past, so I can't claim to be the author of it...and while I do enjoy coffee, it has little significance...

 

[Paully]

An ex-girlfriend of mine use to call me "The Paulinator"  That might have made for an interesting moniker.  Actually she call me her little paulinator, but I prefer to remember it my way.

 

[adamct]

Oh, man....so many witty comments and disquieting images flying around my head that I don't even know where to start...
