What's the 33 for? Is that your age?

Mine is just my initials.

14C · Jun 28, 2004

It was the site designation for the first radar system I worked on at Tonopah Test Range.

Hmmm.... Lack of imagination? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

UncleFester · Jun 28, 2004

I'm not very imaginative. I couldn't come up with anything better. I thought the light bulb in the mouth was kinda funny.

Draco_Americanus · Jun 28, 2004

My name means American Dragon.
I came up with my name about 4 years ago when I whent as Draco T Dragon, That name was inspired by the dragon from the moive Dragonheart. Draco is simply latin for Dragon. My nick name at work is also Dragon. I love dragons and some even say I am a dragon, just with out the scales though /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I also seem to have this unexplainable fear about knights /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/knight.gif They tend to pick on us dragons!

Well I was born in Poland so that's where Polak comes from. And no i don;t think it is deragatory as one of the members wrote to me in the PM. I heard all the Polish jokes and I do find them amusing. 187 was a number I typed in after I got frustrated with setting my AOL screen name. Polak was taken so was POlak1 etc etc. So I just hit those numbers. Later on I found out that it is a LAPD code for homicide.

pjandyho · Jun 28, 2004

Mine was just a combination of my job and name. PJ for Photo-Journalist and ANDYHO for Andy Ho. So there you have it, pjandyho

jayflash · Jun 28, 2004

Greetings Polak, my wife, best friend, and many in my area are of Polish ancestry; they tell the best Polak jokes (which can also be used for most other nationalities, too)

Anyway, Jay is my first name and jayflash was the first username that popped into my head. I've enjoyed the pursuit of superior lighting for 20 years, so "flash" resonates with my family.

idleprocess · Jun 28, 2004

I happened upon my nick when I used to use IRC regularly and would change my nick to various things to indicate that I was away. Idleprocess seemed better than nick[away].

Hornet · Jun 28, 2004

Been involved in hunting and shooting for years and the caliber of choice is the 22 hornet and for some reason hornet is usually available.

Caddyshack · Jun 28, 2004

Mine is from my favorite movie...

Spudman · Jun 28, 2004

Mine came from being a couch potato.

BIGIRON · Jun 28, 2004

Years ago I worked for a Police Dept that required carry of 357/38 revolvers. Having just been discharged from the US Army MPC (MP's) I carried a 1911 .45 as a backup gun (BUG) whenever possible. The Marty Robbins song, "Bigiron", was popular at the time, so the nick was applied and stuck.

Lurker · Jun 28, 2004

Before I became a member of CPF, I lurked on the forum for quite a while (read, but did not post), so when they asked me to create a name, Lurker just popped up in my mind. I guess it doesn't apply any more, though. If I had it to do over, I would probably just use my last name, which is Troy.

markdi · Jun 28, 2004

I have no imagination

my name is Mark Dikeman
so markdi is usually the shortest version of my name
that I can get away with

Orion · Jun 28, 2004

Orion Nebula, . . one of the most celebrated celestial wonders in space.

The_LED_Museum · Jun 28, 2004

The pseudonym I'm using now is the name of my website. I know, I know, not very imaginative. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The pseudonym I used most in the past was "Telephony" (pronounced "tel ah FONE' ee").
I saw a magazine in the men's toliet in a Juneau AK. building in the mid-1980s that went by that name (it was an industry magazine primarily about telephones), so it stuck. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
