i have a way with the ladies.

Gary Fountain 07-25-09 05:45 PM

I'm probably the only one that didn't pick my 'name'.

Rabid Koala 07-25-09 06:12 PM

I have been using my name for about 10 years. It started when I was on a chat where you did not log in-just pick a screen name. My wife had a bunch of stuffed koalas, so I told her I was the rabid one, and used that name in the chat room. The name just stuck.

roccobike 07-25-09 06:17 PM

Rocco is (was) the name of our favorite pet parakeet. He was a special pet with a great personality but he past on about a year ago. I borrowed his name and added bike.

Kommisar89 07-25-09 06:37 PM

My real name is Derrick. Kommisar Derrick was the star of a long running police drama in Germany so when I lived in Germany my friends started calling me Kommisar. I was last in Germany in 1989 so I used Kommisar89 as a screen name.

Not. I chose to use it here, but my parents gave it to me. If you want to alienate me, call me Chuck. Somehow, instinctively, people know that!

East Hill 07-25-09 06:43 PM

I took the easy way out and just put down where I live (on the East Hill of Kent, WA). Actually, my husband had used that name for something else, and I thought it simple and easy to remember. If I'd known that C & V was going to turn into my favourite forum, I probably would have gone with a username I've used elsewhere--Ms Mixte.

I could always ask to have it changed, but I've gotten used to East Hill :thumb: .

thompsonpost 07-25-09 06:49 PM

Just came into my head. It has no specific meaning, overt or hidden.

Ronsonic 07-25-09 07:02 PM

Stage name from back when I had hair and played guitars instead of just accumulating them.

USAZorro 07-25-09 07:22 PM

1994 World Cup message board... I wanted Zorro, but it was already taken. I noticed that one of the first questions asked was "Where are you from?". So... I worked Zorro in, and never had anyone need to ask me that question. I've been using it ever since - but I notice some scoundrel has appropriated it on youtube on me. :notamused:

redneckwes 07-25-09 07:36 PM

Because I never figured that there would be another tractor wrenching, half crazy, worn out jeep driving, rural American, part time farmer on a bicycle forum, and Wes is my middle name.

Panthers007 07-25-09 07:36 PM

I've been using Panthers007 for many years here & there. It's of a political nature that many folks know me by, so I saw no reason to change it. Even in this cycling venue. Just got a Panthers letter written up in a local news story about the city here wanting to allow cars to drive through a lovely park overlooking Lake Champlain. And park there, too! Morons - I tore them a new one.

Such is the nature of Panthers - and the press picked up my statement on this matter and repeated it on the front page. Seems the idiot behind this wants a real name or names of those opposing his insanity. I'm a writer, among other hats I wear, in case you didn't notice.

noglider 07-25-09 07:58 PM

See if you can figure out how I chose mine.

I use it as my login name on all forums and things like that.

nlerner 07-25-09 07:59 PM

Mine is nlerner because that's my login for just about everything, and the name's Neal Lerner, and I haven't figured out the value of having a mysterious avatar or on-screen persona.

Neal

Ex Pres 07-25-09 08:02 PM

I stole it from a 3-man time trial team that rode fixed in the AL state championships I ref'd one year. They called themselves Team Bob Barker.

Bob Barker always asked you to spay and neuter (fix) your pets.

muccapazza 07-25-09 08:07 PM

Neal, please explain your mysterious avatar. (picture under youyr user name.) (you usually have something interesting)

muccapazza 07-25-09 08:12 PM

Last name is bovine in nature, got a twisted kick out of the mad cow thing,had just repatriated from a stint in Italy, so chose the italian for mad cow disease. the ironic thing is my one italian bike was made in japan.

noglider 07-25-09 08:13 PM

nlerner, I prefer to use my real name, but that wasn't an option. I mean I wanted to use "Tom Reingold" with a space. I have that name on our town's local messageboard.

You were in a hang gliding accident, and said "i ain't gonna fly no glider no more?"

bibliobob 07-25-09 08:24 PM

I collect old books in addition to old bikes.

"Biblio" = book.

And, my name's Bob.

cb400bill 07-25-09 08:31 PM

He jumbled up the letters of his last name. Reingold became noglider.

The first part of my screen name is the model number of the best motorcycle I ever had, a 1976 Honda CB400. I just added my real name to the end.

I didn't either. Seems that anyone that I ride with ends up calling me "Luker". Real name is "Luke"...I used to race with a guy named David, and we'd locate each other in the pack..."Daaveeed?"..."Luker?"

We raced with a guy from Germany, and he'd always signal a launch off the front: "Ho, Ho, Ho!"

And another guy we rode with would sing Hendrix songs on the steep parts of the climbs...

Oh, yeah. People looked forward to racing with us.
