Wanted to name my son Jason but wife vetoed that. She said there are too many boys being named Jason right. Dam if she wasn't right, as she says "You can agree with me or be wrong".
 
Well mine actually has some history behind it. I recently retired from the military, 24 years as a USAF Security Forces member. Several years ago we went from Security Police to Security Forcea with the logo Defensor Fortis (Defenders of the Force). So for many years I've went under the name Defensor ( the defender). Nothing to do with smoking meat, but you asked.
 
I spend 21 years in the navy as a Navy Deep Sea Diver and Photographer. Exnavydiver has been my screen name on most of the online forums.
 
I wanted an internet name that nobody else had or would ever have so I pulled up a German dictionary and started finding words that sound cool  (or maybe I should say words that sound rad) and put two of them together using the "en" word joiner commonly found in German.  The words were "Buche" meaning Beech (as in the tree) and "Rad" meaning wheel.  I entered it in Google translate and nothing came up but if I was to ascribe some sort of meaning to it then I guess it would be "a wheel made of beech wood."  I have since learned that "Buch" means book and im sure that word appears much more commonly in German than "Buche" but the idea of a wheel made of books just doesnt work as well.

My real name is Trevor, but I often went by Travis throughout most of highschool, I guess the name just somehow morphed out of my nickname into a new nickname (obviously a misspelled twist on the word travesty and name Travis). I also sell on Ebay under the same name. (travisty Inc)
 
when I lived down der in nawlins' dem Cajuns & coonasses called me Rober instead of Robert. I added the 49 cuz' someone else on dis site is already using rober. hey-what I did?
 
My 22 year old son is getting active in drag racing. I have a background in mechanics and he is a machinist. He comes up with the ideas and I am the cheap labor. We both love working on his toys (right now it's a S10 pickup with a "slightly modified" 327 SBC that we are currently building another engine for). I tell him it's what I wanted to do when I was his age but never had the cash. So when we are not smoking meat, we are smoking tires!

I remember when I was real young, before the Internet, before Smartphones, before wireless phones, before digital dialing, almost before the invention of TV, that my parent's would relish opportunities to set a spell and visit with folks.  Family was an easy mark, but lengthy visits with neighbors and other strangers were welcomed as well.

One of them, I don't remember who, maybe it was weird old Great Uncle Bob used to say "Oh, the hell  you say!" which was sort of like now when people say "Oh, really?" and raise an eyebrow.  So, it seems like an appropriate screen name for forums and such.

Excellent Thread, Deer Meat.. I like it!!

Mine is pretty complicated...

There are a lot of Jeff's and I happen to live around Tulsa. I could have called myself PrettyWaterJeff but somehow that just didn't have a nice ring to it
