How'd you get your username?

[gjat]

When I signed up, I had a brain fit, and gjat is what I came up with. I like being anonymous because I get tired of all those hot women tracking me down an stalking me. (It irritates the wife so!)

Or it could be as crative as using my initials.

[mudder]

My name is two fold;

When I was much younger there was a development being built by my house and all the kids would hang around and bother the carpenters who did not speak english very well. One guy kept calling us "little mudder-uppers" which was short for another word (not very nice).

When I got older I began racing mud trucks until they got too expensive to run. I sometimes miss the old mudpits but family comes first.

[tung tied]

User name?

I can't say.

[padboy]

I repair band instruments for a living. Most of these repairs involve the replacement of small leather covered discs,called pads. So, instead of the word "bad",I substituted "pad".

[Anna]

I used various names in forums and chatrooms before, but never my first name alone because it is a pretty common name and it's always taken by the time I sign up.

When I was signing up for this forum, I was getting ready to come up with another variant of my online names. Then I thought, "What are the chances of having another female woodworker named Anna who also owns a BT3100 and is already a member of this woodworking forum?"

Apparently, not much.

[oakchas]

I usta be chasiii and that was my email addy as well... but having dropped aol and well... long story short, I primarily work with oak, love craftsman style stuff, it just morphed into oakchas.

[IBBugsy]

Well........

I got the nickname Bugsy when I was a young engineer out of college responsible for 5 million gallons of bacteria in an industrial wastewater treatment plant. I was always looking at the "bugs" under a microscope to see how they were doing.

The "IB" came in as I found out that Bugsy is a very common online name. My daughter was using IBNice as an online name and I stole it from her.

[SHADOWFOX]

Always a few Chris's wherever I worked, but only one "Chris D."

BTW, did you know that Shadowfox and I have the same first and last names?

Yes, Chris! This is pretty weird.

Same Nationality
Same First Name
Same Last Name
Same State
Same Message board
Same Hobby

It's a good thing we are not in the same city

For a second there I thought you were my web developer guy name Chris Davis trying to pull my leg

[LinuxRandal]

My daughter was using IBNice as an online name and I stole it from her.

TSK, TSK... UBNotNice

Hanging around the house, due to waiting on finding out info, on a piece of equipment for work today. It ends in a couple of hours, and will save us quite a bit. But depressed, as it's supposed to be my day off....

[gsmittle]

I used to use creative usernames, but I figure in a public forum if I'm going to say something, I'd better be willing to take the heat for what I say. That and I'm kinda absent-minded, so I stick with my first initial (Grover) and last name.

I'm a little brain-dead from herding teen-agers all day.... Never let them know you're afraid--they can smell fear...

[Black wallnut]

An intentional misspelling of the greatest wood in N. America. Second "L" added for emphisis; not sure it works but that was the why.

[scmhogg]

Me Mum and Dad. Stephen Clive Malcolm Hogg.

[SHADOWFOX]

Me Mum and Dad. Stephen Clive Malcolm Hogg.

Steve, I assumed the name had something to do with riding Harley's.

[Bruce Cohen]

Username is the resule of no imagination and terrible memory.

Chris, my favorite weapon is a re-worked to single shot silenced Colt Woodsman. Surprised you guys in the SEALS didn't have one. All of us "civillian contrators" in Nam had one, along with the Swedish Gustav subs.
