Mine is an old nickname from high school, it started because there were two of use with the same first name in a class and the teacher couldn't pronounance my last name. So the teacher started calling my Kookie. So it stuck and I have been called Kookie or Kookiemonster or some form of it ever since. Guess thats why my email has been Kookiemonster69@ where ever since I first got an email addy. More people know me by my nickname then by my real name. lol.

Great post, nice to see the story behind the name.

Mine comes two of my favorite things to do, beer(brewing and drinking) and smoking.... It's also why my wife has me walking on the treadmill at 4:00 in the morning.......

I would love to give some great story about being a sniper or some such romantic reason, but alas (don't know if I should admit this) he was my favorite X-Man, his power was incredible good luck and he threw knives. Pretty lame huh?

Go ahead laugh

I'm Dave, and the Z is for my old Datsun 240z which I unfortunately sold about 5 years ago. Maybe I'll pick up another someday.

I am a car nut, been working on them since I was 14. About 6 years ago, I purchased a 1953 Chevy truck since the "NOS" twisted the heck out of my Nova (frame was not tied). Since the purchase of this truck, I have chopped the top 6 inches, Channelled it 6 inches, narrowed the rear frame, cut the original front frame off and attached a 73 Monte Carlo front to it. There is a big block 468 cubic inch chevy motor on the shelf.
bb=big block
53=year of truck
chev=make of truck
pro=prostreet.
But with the long hard hours I work and 3 children, there is not much time or money to work on this project.

I think this smokin stuff is a great new hobby that everyone in my family can enjoy.

My father, and now my friends, fondly refer to me as a sumo wrestler because of my stature. I have not seen sumo wrestling for females so I think I'm safe (for now)

Needless to say, I love to smoke and the names just happened to fit together nicely.

It was a nickname from hunting buddies as I somehow had the knack of being there at the right time for the kill. I also spend ALOT of time in the woods scouting and hunting. I am not so Big but Big at Heart... LOL

I originally started using the name "Midnight Rider" based on that old Allman Brothers song, since it was one of my farorite all time songs. But, everyone just shortened it it to "Midnight" or even "Mid" so I just started using that. Then changed the vowells to "y"s ala the way Lynyrd Skynyrd spelled there name.

Well, I don't have a computer at home so everything you see from me on here is done from my office computer. I work with a woman that is a self proclaimed VEGAN! All I hear from her is how bad smoke is for the environment and how the smoking process changes the molecular structure of the meat so much that it is actually bad for you. All those damn good tasting carcenogens are so bad for me.

So, I told her that she was trying to hug the wrong tree because I had just bought my CharGriller, or as I called it, "my roughtly $200.00 meat crematorium."

Cows eat grass and grain, Pigs eat mostly grain and feed, Chickens eat grain and feed...They all taste damn good on a grill. Vegans eat Grain and Grass......

So, VEGANS BEWARE.

I used to fly helicopters in the National Guard and we were called aviators so just a play with the letters.

Glad you like that! As I post more and get to know you all a little better. I will hopefully get a few more "chuckes" out of y'all. Glad to a member of a site like this. I love it! You would have to be a fool to not use the info provided on here.
