I am a archery hunter..So I made a play on the word "arrow." "Ripstik" I left the "c" out on purpose so it would be one of a kind.
 
Easy..but complicated...I look alot like Killer the Buzzard from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons...Grew up in largely Spanish speaking southern New Mexico, and Elzopilote
is spanish, for "The Buzzard," or "The Vulture." Street slang shortened it to "zopi"

Been stuck with it for alot of years...
 
3montes.. I am a Monte Carlo nut you could say. At the time I choose my screen name I owned 3 Monte Carlo's. A 1986 Super Sport which I sold last year. I still own a 2004 Monte Carlo SS Intimidator which I am sort of kind of looking to sell. And a 1971 Monte Carlo SS big block 454 car. Still original with under 100 thousand miles.
I guess I should change my name to 2montes

I've had several screen names in the last few years and as age progresses, I seem to forget what name for what forum. When I started hanging out on these forums I wanted something to do with BBQ, so BBQFANS came up.
O.K.,boring

Mine is either apparently obvious to old computer nerds, or ridiculously confusing to others. My IRC nick was Grue for the longest time, and when I went away in channel, I changed it to Grue_Lurks. Someone finally took over Grue via nickserv so I was stuck with GrueLurks. See the following article on WTH a grue is.

I loved interactive fiction as a kid and cut my programming teeth on a TRS-80 III at a local Radio Shack when Zork first came out to the public. The guys at the store were kind enough to let me crack open the ziploc bag to play it after school each day.
 
I've been using forums for years and registering for memberships for various websites. I know at one time or another you all have been in the same situation where the user name is always taken and you wind up beating your head on the desk trying to think of a good user name. One day I was browsing some stuff on extraterrestrials and life beyond our planet. I came across a story about the Dropa's an alien race that came to earth about 10,000 BC and left behind these Dropa stones. So I thought that was an original name that nobody will have. So I've been using ever since and only had a cpl of cases where it was being used by someone else.

If your interested in that kind of stuff just Google Dropa Stone.
 
Faust comes from my favorite piece of literature, Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

It is also my dog's name.

I have been using versions of Faust for 14 years give or take.
 
Gotta add mine as well
I just closed my eyes and started typing and SCPATTERSON came out..I think its some kind of celtic writing and means Handsome..Just a guess
 
Well earned mine the hard way. All the girls call me "Cheap Chalee Mai Dee" English translation = Cheap Charlie no good. Guess I didn't leave enough tips, Heck I told them not to play with matches, and all the other ones our parents told us.

I played golf for 15 years before I took up smoking (3 weeks ago) and it's the domain name for my website/blog. Acemaker was already taken but Acemakr wasn't.

Now you know the rest of the story.

Well, there I was at 35,000 feet checking my six, when........

No, wait, that's another site thread. NWDave is the handle I've used on 2 Diesel Truck sites I belong to, and I didn't see any reason to confuse myself with another handle. NW = North West as in Pacific North West as in Washington State (The Wet Side of the Mountains) and of course, my name is Dave. Now, who's next?
