My wife and I went out to eat a few weeks ago and there was a hopped up hearse in the parking lot with license plates reading DIGEMUP. While we were there we kept watching around the place trying to figure out who's vehicle it was, we never did !!!
When I used to live in Miami, we had a Priest who bought an old hearse and fixed it up and painted it bright red.  He delighted driving it around and seeing people's reaction!
 
As for my screen name, (from the Internet Movie Database imdb.com):

"From out of the clear blue of the western sky comes Sky King" was the familiar opening to television's premier aviation program. Operating from his Flying Crown Ranch in Arizona, Sky King, his niece Penny and their Cessna 310 airplane "Songbird" were constantly involved in one adventure after another. Viewed by many children in the 1950's, this program was responsible for inspiring many later aviation careers.

Since my last name is King and I loved the show growing up, my nickname became Skyking.  There are also enough others out there, that I often have to add an extra S when setting a screen name.

That's funny,

When I was a teenager there was an announcer at the Drag-strip I ran at, who drove a souped up black hearse with a white racing stripe. Then a woman crossed over in an intersection & ran straight into my front end. That announcer saw the whole thing & gave me his card, in case I needed a witness. Would have been great if I needed a witness who announces at the Drags & drives a hearse with a racing stripe!!!

Man from U.N.C.L.E.

It was an old tv show spoofing the other popular spy shows and movies. The lead character was Napoleon Solo played by Robert Vaughn. Used to be on Friday nights when I was around 10 years old and I NEVER missed it.  I'd sit in front of the tv with my Man from UNCLE cap gun (complete with silencer, scope and removable stock) and my UNCLE ID badge. I believe that today they call such kids nerds.

Anyway, U.N.C.L.E. was an acronym that stood for:

United Network Command for Law and Enforcement
 
Oh wow!  Brings back the memories!  Love that David McCallum (Illya Kuryakin) is still doing well and busy on NCIS as he turns 80 this fall!
 
I got my name because my nickname is Hootie. When I introduce myself most people's response is where are the blowfish. After 15 years of this now I have a better answer of where are the blowfish.
 
I've always called myself a two lane, dirt road country boy. When my wife and I first met, she was amazed at how I could cook. She told me she had never had food the way I made it. Luckily, it was a compliment, and no bouts of food poisoning were involved. She said I was like an untrained gourmet. So I took to calling myself Dirt Road Gourmet for the heck of it. I even call the BBQ sauce I make "Dirt Sauce".
