How did you come up with your screen name?

[hokiesmokie]

No mystery here - I'm a Va. Tech graduate, and "smokie" describes how I like my food (and just happens to rhyme with Hokie), so it became HokieSmokie.

 

[cheesehead]

GO Pack GO!! Packer fan that got into smoke. Addicted now.

 

[chopper]

When I was in high school I found a '63 Triumph Tiger in pieces in a barn on a farm I was working at. I bought it for a week's pay (about $300 then) and rebuilt it in the school's auto shop. It had a springer front end over twisted stock forks, a 4" rake, and hardtail frame. I painted it a vibrant Rustoleum Orange with handpainted flames. I was the only kid in high school with a chopper, and the name stuck.

 

[bandit216]

My name came from being a retired law enforcement deputy, my K9 partner was named "bandit" and my badge number was "216". From one Viet Vet, to another, thanks for serving Blackhawk19!

 

[the iceman]

The origin of my name is threefold...

First, ICE rhymes with my last name.
Second, it is my occupation. I work in low temp refrigeration, i.e. ICE machines, walk-in freezers etc.
And third, some say I have an ICEy demeanor.

 

[smokyjeff]

Jeffs my name and I'm learning to smoke meat so, smokyjeff. However now that I am here I would like to change it

 

[blushing crow]

Mine is a spoonerism – a switching of morphemes of proximate words either as a slip of the tongue or intentionally as a play on words. They are named after the Rev. B. A. Spooner of Oxford University, who may have had a predilection towards them. My screen name is from one of the classics, “the victim was killed by a blushing crow to the head”.
Switching topics, next weekend we’ll be hosting the welcome picnic for a group of 14 German exchange students, one of which will be staying with us for three weeks. Including the host families and others, we’re looking at 45-50 folks (or volks). The program organizer wants to do burgers and dogs (heh). Fine, I said, bring all that, but I’m gonna be up at 2:00am smoking some butts. If these kids came all the way across the Atlantic to experience America, they’re going to get some “Renowned Mr. Brown” (along with SoFlaQuer’s mustard sauce – if there’s a better mustard sauce out there, I want to hear about it). I wonder what we’ll run out of first - dogs or pulled pork?

[hawki]

Lets see, back in 1976 I was invoilved in a bad car accident, a guy hit me head on while I was tooling along in a 1976 Chevy Vega. My resulting injuries earned me a 6 week stay in a trama center, 5 of which were in a coma. I also cut my optic nerve to my left eye. The eye works but the signal never makes it to the grey matter. The guys at the firehouse nicknamed me Hawkyeye cause even with the one eye handicap I was always the first to spot a good looking female. I shortened it to Hawki fior ease in typing.

 

[benjaminr]

My name in Benjamin, and my middle name is Ryan. My mom always use to call me BR. Plus Id rather people know my name rather than trying to remember my user name to my real name, that gets tricky when my jeepin online club has meets.

 

[abchristy]

[jbomb]

Well my name is Jeremy and Im the type of guy that lets everything roll off of him till he has had enough. But when Ive had enough the I go off like a bomb. Something I have been working on for a long time. The old lady says I need to express myself more and not let it build up lol. Im a dude. Im not much for expressing myself untill I have to I guess.

 

[coyote-1]

Coyote is a nickname from when I was a little kid. It meant nothing, I just got tagged with it and it stuck.

Since there's usually already a coyote of some sort, I have to add the -1

 

[thepiro]

Even as a kid I was always having a fire up the woods or on the beach. It was no surprise to my friends that when I got older I joined the firie’s brigade, every one knows that fires are the best Piro’s.

I am into fire magic, got umpteen different stoves, can start fires with all sorts of things, get invited to all sorts of events for my sometimes spectacular fire starting skills.

After a few beers my palls occasionally light up the night sky with sky lanterns which are really awesome. Some of the locals think they are UFOs, great fun.

Basically I am just a good old boy that likes to sit by a comforting and welcoming fire with a few good friends and some bevy.
