How did you come up with your screen name?

[seajams]

SEAJAMS is short for "Stigler Edification Association Jamboree And Midnight Smoker" a BBQ party we started back in the late 70's. Can't get the whole name to fit anywhere, so had to shorten it.

 

[smoke n my eye]

Smoke N my Eye. Kinda self explanitory, but there is nothin better then gettin a little Thin Blue Smoke in my eye. It burns so good.

 

[bob1961]

my name is bob and i was born in 1961...........bob

....

 

[burn-it]

Bar-b-q's at the beach with the family.  Well, grillin' hot dogs and hamburgers on a Hibachi.  My Pop's standard answer to "how do you want it?" is . . . BURN IT!

 

[bpopovitz]

Wow I feel so "vanilla" with my screen name, My first name is Brian, any guesses what my last name is?  I was thinking, after I already joined, that I should have picked Abe Frohman.

 

[jirodriguez]

That's OK Bob.... I'm right there with you. Full name is Johnny Ituah (ee-too-ah) Rodriguez, run it all together and you get JIRodriguez. Not fancy, but it works.

Middle name used to be my first name (try having that name in elementary school!), but luckily my folks left my middle name unfilled, so I picked Johnny around 6th's grade and have used it ever since. Funny part was I picked Johnny after seeing the name Johnny Rodriguez in a jukebox... lol. Old Country singer who got into some legal trouble later in his life.

 

[kcbluesnbbq]

Well this is going to be real hard to explain. I live in Kansas City, I just got to listen to blues, and when I do, I want me some BBQ. Now does this make sense.

[retread]

Like many before me, my handle came out of a CB handle, since I couldn't use "Jeff" or any real combination of that.  I took "Retread" as a CB handle, because I'd moved so many times, up to then. It continues.  I'm Retread!

 

[mythmaster]

It's spilled over from another forum where I provide tech support for people building and/or setting up HTPC's (Home Theater PC's) using Linux.  MythTV (http://www.mythtv.org/detail/mythtv) can be tricky to configure, but I've been using it for years.  Hence, mythmaster.

 

[dauntless]

Not really  interesting but I restore ol JEEP's and my favorite motor is the Dauntless oddfire V6 that came in the Early CJ5's. Hence he name....

 

[miamirick]

 He's either very happy or gonna leave ya a surprise somewhere.

 

 

 

[meateater]

Mine is self explanitory. I ain't no vegan.

 

[pokey]

We sail. I had a 16' catamaran that I bragged was a real speedy boat, but every time I took my buddy out on it, the wind would die and we'd end up paddling back. He said it was the pokiest boat he'd ever been on, so I named her Pokey. Since then, we've had two more sailboats, each progressively larger, Pokey II (19' Cape Dory) and Pokey III (Pearson 323). I find it ironic that peole take the slowest from of transport invented by man, sail boats, and race them. People give their boats names like Windsprint, Dominator. I kind of like just being plain old Pokey.

Pokey was Gumby's sidekick, hence the avatar pic. (Oh, and my name's not TIA. That stands for Thanks In Advance.)

 

[squirrel]

I am the most hyper person ever! when I was growing up there was no such thing as ADD or ADHD, but I would have been the poster girl. When I was actually utilizing my degree in horticulture my boss would see me on one end of the golf course, and two minutes later would call me on the radio and I was on the other end. He started calling me squirrel because he said I reminded him of one. I was REALLY hyper and uber skinny back then. I weighed like minus 4 pounds. LOL! Seriously, I had to make myself eat and tried for years to break 100 lbs.! But, the day I turned 40 I gained 25 pounds and had to get glasses.

 

[wiredbob]

My real name is Robert and I smoke meat.

Mine is has a double meaning.  The first one is because I'm a computer guy with networking experience.  The other is something of a joke for the people who know me.  I have an even disposition and seldom if ever get "wired".

 

[wngsprnt50]

This has been a fun read.  Loads of creativity!  Mine has been used for all sorts of emails and forum id's.  I came up with it way back when many emails were limited to 8 characters.  I drive a wing sprint car and its #50 so I kicked that around a bit.  At one of the races a fan came up and asked if we all drove with our eyes closed since it would scare the crap out of them to go that fast inches from a concrete wall.  A light went on and I removed the "eyes" from wingsprint50.
