[Silverhawk]

My First Car.  A 57 Studebaker Silverhawk that I paid $85.  The sad thing is that it was cut up and buried in my Dad's farm woods when it died.  I've use the handle for CB in years past too.

[Funnyrunner]

Some interesting stories behind the nicks some of you guys have, thanks for sharing them.
Mine, Funnyrunner, was originally assigned to me as my radio call sign as the battalion forward observer for the 4.2" mortar platoon when I was in Germany back in the mid-70's. It came out of the Signal Operating Instructions (SOI) the first time we went out on a NATO exercise and, even though new call signs were issued with each new SOI, that one always stuck with me.

[monophonic]

Nothing really interesting behind mine either. Fifteen years ago I was wanting a new handle to leave the old, childish one behind and 'monophonic' was the second thing that sprung to mind. The first thing was, thankfully, taken as it wasn't much better than the old one. Since then I've used it everywhere and haven't yet found it unavailable. Except once, but even then trying old passwords I found out it was my old account I had forgotten all about.

[woogie_man]

When I was still in high school I got into paintball fairly heavy.  Well I have always liked to shoot, so I took on the role of sniper.  Well every good sniper needs a ghillie suit, so I made 3 of them.  Durring a game with friends from school a group of seniors saw us and grabbed their gear and challenged us to a game.  Well me and my two buddies donned my ghillies and set about.  For a few hours we destroyed the seniors, and they were never really able to find us and get any kind of shots on us.  When we were about half done and taking a break for lunch and what not, one of the guys commented that we looked like wookies from Star Wars.  Though in his words, " they are not cool enough to be wookies, so they are woogies!"  The name really stuck through high school and college.

Then when I sarted to do my airsoft stuff the name again stuck when I had 7 ghillies and a big load of money in all that stuff.  All the forums people knew me as woogie or woogie_man so figured I would keep it as people already knew me as that.

  After about 45 years of hotrods, guns, RC, and racing desert bikes ........... I gotts nomobux. Still doing everything but the bikes.

[avator]

Mine comes from a time before personal computers. We were pretty heavy into a board game called Dungeons & Dragons. In the game, to gain any respect, you had to be born in. The higher the status of your "parents" , the better you start. My "Mother" Was a Wiccan Princess named AvaGwendolyn and my "Father" was a Master Mage named By-tor. Hence Avator, a silver haired Paladin. When the PC entered we moved the board game to the computer. My screen name was Avator and my avatar was a silver haired Paladin. I forget more about the game than I remember but the nic stuck and I use it for everything computer related. There are people who only know me as Ava. A lot of people think it's connected to aviation and ask if I fly planes. Yes, names are quite interesting.

[daytime dave]

I worked midnights for more than half my career.  I retired and then shortly thereafter got the golden ticket, day shift with weekends and holidays off.  I lost the golden ticket, but still enjoy seeing the sun.

My avatar is from the best show to be on television.  I wish Mayberry really existed and some days I'm Barney and some days I'm Andy.  The avatar photo was the most respectful photograph I had ever seen of Deputy Fife and that's the way I like it.  Respect everyone until they don't deserve it anymore.  I like everyone until I don't.

[longhunter]

I acquired mine a long time ago. From the time I was 13, my summers were spent almost entirely in the woods. I only came home when there were things that required my presence, or, I ran out of toilet paper. When I'd come through the door, my dad would always say " here comes old long hunter". He called me that till the day he died.

[aack73]
