Hunter is my nickname as I like to hunt. When I started joining forums and such Hunter was always taken. I was 27 at the time so I added that and it stuck as I am 39 now.

Several years ago I purchased a few acres in a development in Durango, Colorado. We had an online chat board and at that time I was the only Texan property owner and a few referred to me as the Texan at Durango so it changed slightly when I needed a login ID. I use it just about everywhere.
 
When I was getting started on the computer,I chose "Ossaguy" since I owned an OSSA motorcycle back then,and I still enjoy them (looking at other's bikes )today.They are really neat line of vintage Spanish motorcycles.

Wish I new how to post an avatar.

I'm a captain in my fire department and I teach a firefighting foam operations class at the local career center to new fire fighters. The 40 is my unit number at the fire department
 
It is a combination of the first 4 letters of my last name. I used to own a business called Unicorn Auto Repair. When I got my first AOL account many years ago I made up the email of nava1uni and have used it ever since for most online accounts.
 
I delivered catered food to the golf course in the little town where I grew up on men's and women's night at the golf course. When I came in the door with the food, they'd say "Old Lar's here". It stuck. My future father-in-law was the caterer. That is how I got the job.
 
Freznel - I used to do stage lighting as a kid and I always had trouble spelling the type of light since it was pronounced different then spelled. So I can now always spell Fresnel. Also It is a type of all in-compassing light just light the way I am.
 
Jaybird is a nickname that was given when I was a kid growing up at my Grandparent and just stuck, my first name is Jay..
 
There was a group of us many years ago that hung out at work and each of us had an animal name. Four of us El pollo, el pescao, el toro, and me el taquache. For those that don't know chicken, fish, bull, and opossum.
As time went on el taquache morphed to el taq then to Al taq to altac. So first two letters of my first name changed the q to c for 1st and last initials add the three I's because I'm the third and viola ALTACIII. Long story for a dumb moniker but have used it ever since. Funny how you made me think of just how long I've had it. WOW:eek:
 
Well, while directing traffic one day in L.A., we had a very rude person berating the Police Dept. She wanted to know if the Officer she was yelling at was in charge. He told her no that it was "DAUTTERGUY", she found me and asked me "Are you DAUTTERGUY?" I told her yes I was and attempted to solve her problem. From that day forward I have been DAUTTERGUY, even had a name tag as such.
 
It started out as The Lone Seawolf as a CB handle then when I went into the Navy I was assigned to the Seawolf combined services unit for a few months. The tag has remained ever since. I even get mail from old comrades addressed to Seawolf.

I have always been an avid reader, and I consider 'Beowulf' one of the great literary works of all time. I enjoyed both the original epic poem and the adaptation 'Grendel' by John Gardner. (same story, but as seen through Grendel's eyes.)

Thus, my very first screen name way back when was 'Grendel'.

Unfortunately, due to a truly horrible movie made in 2007, that screen name (and variations) became very popular. So, taking a description of Grendel from one of my favorite quotes in 'Beowulf', I came up with 'Grim Spirit'.

"Thus these warriors lived in joy, blessed, until one began to do evil deeds, a hellish enemy. The Grim Spirit was called Grendel, known as a rover of the borders, one who held the moors, fen and fastness."

Great idea for a thread, btw.
 
I have a bunch of wolf tattoos, it was said by a fellow Marine that if I was ever blown to pieces, at least they would be able to collect me by the wolftats.
 
My wife will not let me use my name from work. I am an electrician with a wooden left leg. We use a tool to operate high voltage sitches called a 'hotstick'. Since I can stand on my left leg and work some voltages without any protection, I was given that nick name. My wife says it is nasty and sex riddled therefore I can't use it in publick. Being lazy too, I use first letter and last name.:biggrin::eek::redface:
 
My grandpa would call me "whistlebritches" when I was a little kid. The name didn't really stick as a nickname or anything...it's just what came to mind when i was setting up my profile.

I think he might be new to the forum, but has 'drstrangefart' weighed in on this issue yet??
 
It is my first NT Login when I started working at Hewlett Packard in Loveland, CO in 1993. I have used it for email and everything else for years!
 
Since '92

Since 1992, when I got first computer I have been aplpickr. Short for apple picker, and that is how it is pronounced. I live in an old orchard and I started with a Mac. Unfortunately I burned all the old trees for firewood before I knew any thing about turning. The trees were 24" diameter and 40 to 50 years old. I have kept name through three providers.
