[you da man]

Some are more obvious than others but how or why did you choose you user name? Mine is because I've been an avid golfer since I was 5yrs old. I'm a 2-3 handicap and my friends are a bunch of clowns on the course and will yell "you da man" sometimes when I tee off

[wolfeman131]

nice thread. thought about this a couple of time myself.

my last name is "Wolfe." High school and college friends added the "man." The "131" is for my birthday - January 31st.

[zabooda]

Mine has no meaning at all. In the early days of internet, I would change ISPs so I could get that free month or two of service so I made up a name that was short and not copied by someone else and I would jump to another ISP. I could also tell where I have been as that name was already used. I get on a few other sites so if you see a "zabooda" out there it is me. When I give my email address over the phone, phonetically (pardon the pun) it is easy to spell out. Someone on line once thought it meant something in Russian.

[moombadaze]

Mine-well not sure, wife actually came up with but could have had something to do with that movie "Dazed and confused"?

Other name I have on other forums is Arrowhand-cause I shot a arrow into my left hand-dont ask. Lets just say pulling it all the way back out was not what I would call fun, but was kinda funny watching my wife freak out bigtime

[sandm]

my first name is scott, my ex wifes first name is marla. we went by sandm, as in s&m since we have been on the internet. divorced early this year, so not sure what I would really change to. she doesn't use any online forums, so I guess really no reason to right now...

short story, tried to get sandm put on my license plates years ago. got it approved, then got a call 2 days later from the dmv manager and she told me "absolutely no way that is going on". I told her why? it's just our initials. she said "you know what it means just as much as I do". end of story and had to pick something else


oh ya, good thread btw... will be interested to see other's responses.

[jester]

Sandm, I have no clue what it really means. It is just another DMV person using their power because they can. In Oregon i have seen some offensive plates but they let them do it.


moombadaze, That is a great movie.

As far as my name is I have been Jester since the beginning. I use to have Jester all over the internet but most of my first emails have been deleted because of too much spam. I use to have it on Hotmail but it was deleted because of an "Upgrade" and someone took it before I could get it again. My all time move is Top Gun and I was Jester since i was ahead of the game. All of my friends just call me Jester since that was my gaming handle for so many years.

[sailing217]

grew up sailing and was my favorite sport till we moved away from the lake. 216 area code for our primary email address. ---Now I gotta make a wave to Surf with a BOAT, who would have thunk it???

SandM: I thought it was short for Sandman, at least that's an excuse you could use (-:

[brain_rinse]

Mine username is to celebrate my favorite wakeboarding move - the frontside 90, aka brain rinse, faceplant, and scorpion.

[rdlangston13]

mine by far has the best story...rd is my first two initials for Robert David, and Langston is well my last name. Now 13 comes into the picture because when i first made an AOL instant messenger account way back in the day i was 13 years old. now I am 23 and and i just kept the 13. my user name for virtually everything is rdlangston13, makes it easy

[kaneboats]

You're right. That's good. Can't wait for the movie.
