What does your username mean?

[truebeliever71]

Mine is inspired by the song "True Believers" by Phil Keaggy, a Christian musician. The song really had a impact on me in a time when I was not only struggling in my faith but in who I was as person. And, 71 is my birthyear.

[DANIMAL]

My first name is Daniel, and back in the 80's i worked for a company where I was known for full tilt attacking problems that needed solving. IT didn't matter what they were. our company sponsored a ping pong team in a league. we won the league championship several years running. I played very aggressively. People would say "Man, Dan is an animal on the table". My riding budyy Todd(CBR1000RR) combined it into Danimal. I use it on the internet for a user name

I thought I would do my research, make my purchase and my Internet forum days would be over, but over the time it took me to get educated, I kinda got to know some of the regulars and became a regular myself, now I regret picking such a unoriginal user name...

I represent that comment! Is there a way to change one's name? I wouldn't mind something more creative for myself.

[Rev]

Rev is short for Reverand. I'm not really a nickname kind of person and this is the only one that's stuck, which I don't mind as it's a pretty cool one.

I think the Administrator can change usernames; on the local rider's forum, he changes names for others all the time.

[grinder]

There is a hiking trail on the north shore of Vancouver called the Grouse Grind that I like to do. It is a steep nasty climb that rises 2800 ft in just under two miles. Hence grinder.

Mine, derstuka, is short for der Sturzkampfflugzeug , which was a German dive bomber during world war II that was not the fastest or the most agile, however, it was pretty dead on on bombing runs, and made a whaling sound which would strike fear into those who heard it. It had an autopilot feature (since g suits were not invented yet) since the pilot could pass out from the g's of a dive. I used to be a world war II freak, and I am an avid mtn biker, well, a friend and I used to do a lot of downhill mtn biking (still do ride a lot, single speed hardtails mostly now), and we would call each other der stuka for the "divebomber" mtnbiker of the hill/mtn. Kinda lame story I know, but it was just how I came upon this username.

I was wondering about that - I used to play with model airplanes when I was a kid - The Stuka was one of them.

[OneSided]

Just a play on words about a VFR, single-sided...OneSided................

[mello dude]

Just a name I grabbed outta the blue.. well sorta. It kinda says about the layed back side of me -the drunken slacker lazy ass foole, goes with the Valky. I have the other side of life that is intense, stressful, and manical, adrenalin junkie. Sometimes mello dude is trully that, sometimes it's a bit of tonque and cheek sarcasm.

Dr Jeckle and Mr Hyde would have been too obvious.......

Generally I've adopted it as my internet alias.....

[Aardvark892]

The first airframe I ever worked on in the Air Force was the F-111F, whose unofficial name was the Aardvark.

The best airplane I ever worked on in the Air Force was 892, an F-111F at RAF Lakenheath in the late 80s-early 90's.

It was one of only two aircraft I've ever actually been proud of working on.

The rest of them were garbage... well, actually 443 (the jet that was afraid of heights) was okay, once the main Crew Chief left and I took over.

[reg71]

yeah you can change it. Mine was originally preregrin which is a deliberate misspelling of a type of falcon but I got it from LoTR way back before the movies. I changed it to Reg so people would know my name so that when we meet I don't have to introduce myself with a handle and then give my real name. 71 is the year I was born..

That's what we call our nasty ongoing climbs in mtn biking...grinders. I need to get my butt out there again on those grinders...

I agree with Jaymz. Barring unforeseen awesomeness, you win the thread

Jackinthebox is a close second

[meddle1999]

Well back in the high school haze of "recreational pharmaceuticals" I was a HUGE Pink Floyd fan. My buddies started callin' me Meddle (The name of one of their albums) and the 99 was the year my daughter was born

[Gatekeeper]

My cb handle was Eclipse. From DSotM, Pink Floyd.
The handle here is from getting free tracktime by working the gate at the race facility and becoming sort of a fixture there for a few years. I still do it on occasion just to chat up the folks and stay in touch. (This Sunday, for instance.)

I'm not that much of a PF fan anymore. About an hour ago, I finished playing "Shine on you crazy diamond" (all parts) on my old Hammond. :)
