Assuming you are the recruit laughing at the CPO who had bombs dropped on him by a Seagull? :)
 
Ive had the nickname Phunky as far back as I can remember. Even in high school I wouldnt answer most when they called me by my name. 2003 was the year I was disabled before then I never spent much time on computers.
 
Well, I grew up in Maine, Lewiston to be exact. Still have most of my family there and do go back every year. Wife is also from Maine. So mainiac is appropriate I guess.

I've had a "fancy" for pens since I was a kid. I would take pens from my parents desk and morph the best barrel to the best ink.
 
I have a passion for mesquite. I got started in woodworking because I saw a piece of mesquite furniture and absolutely loved it. I bought a bunch of tools, and started working with mesquite. I then bought a sawmill just so I could mill my own mesquite. To this day, I will ONLY work with mesquite for flat work. Signed up on another woodworking forum years ago as MesquiteMan and have kept it since.
 
I didn't think many people would get the reference if i used "Raul Duke", so i kept it simple.
 
"Monty" is closer to the correct pronunciation of my name which is spelled "Mannie". The German pronunciation is similar to "Monnie" but when people see my name they usually pronounce it "Manny".
Clear as mud, huh.
 
Well...
Years ago with my dad being the computer savvy person he is when he created his first email account his first name was taken so he picked the first numbers that pops up under where you enter your name. That combined with Michael Hoffman makes mhoff10500. As kind of a tribute to him i just added a J in front of it for Jonathan and it works out awesome for me cause my initials are JMH so J for Jonathan M for Michael, Hoff for Hoffman, and 10500 cause AOL's random number generator sucks...
 
From my company Half Saddle Turning
Half saddle is what we call one of the aquarium fish we have. It is a Clown Loach that has different markings then the standard 3 black line. The first 2 lines met at the top and the only go half way down the body. Loaches.com calls the half strip a saddle and it is my variation of the name.
The sn I use on all other sites I thought wouldnt be accepted very well here.
 
Married my current wife about 13 years ago. She had 8 and 13 year old sons, I had a 13 year old daughter. Her youngest son and I hit it off really, really well from the beginning. He nicknamed me Timbo, I liked it so I started using it in the online world. He's now majoring in engineering at Lehigh U. and no longer calls be Timbo, but I'll probably keep using it forever.
 
I have worked for 46 years in church related vocations in some area of Christian education. Thus edman. The 2 is there because when I signed up for an Ebay account several years ago the "edman" name was taken so I just added the number.
 
Well it was an operation in the jungles of the Sudan...there I was....Oh sorry thats another story...


Because they don't make a ROJO23......



I processed many financial reports for a company and the report names used to print the first 2 letters of the first name and your last name. Since I had the majority of the reports, the report people used to refer to me as "ROJO", not like the typical spanish rojo, but with a hard J. 22 is a lucky number.....
 
Elody was my mom's middle name and she was born in 1921 Elody21! Of course this year I found out her middle name was spelled Elodie!

Yes I was the unfortunate idiot that couldn't stop laughing he walked into a bar in Subic Bay about 18 months later and yelled out Hey S**t bird, and that lasted the rest of my service career, I marched around San Deigo Naval Training Center for about 20 hours, when he asked me if I still thought it was funny I had to bite my lower lip on the inside to keep from laughing, I would like to have bought that gull a sardine brunch!!! man my feet were shredded.
but it was still funny.
 
Mine is a name we really like and were going to use if my last child was a boy. A girl came out so now all my kids are saying they want to name their son Tanner because they liked that name so much. I told them they can take their time in making me a grandfather.
 
In late 1996, I used to work for a company and they had dispatching system and I had to come up with a handle on the radio, couldn't find one and the dispatcher who was a really silly man and clowning around on the radio called me Philly-boo. so every one else called that. then i started getting emails when i used it on line people thinking I was from Philadelphia and boo there I think means referring to a lover or a gay man, i am not sure. When I came to IAP I thought that in order for me not to sit and figure out a name and keep getting the message that it was taken i came up with Phillywood, figured no one would have that.
Now, there you have it. don't go around calling me Philly boo either.
 
Azami Ryou is a character from the Japanese comic, "Deceiver". This is not a well-known comic, it came out around the late 80's to early 90's and was never translated into English; in Japan, it was just popular enough to be printed in book form. The only reason I knew about it is that the writer/artist was my college Japanese teacher's cousin!

I like the story and character, so for a long time I was always "azami" when I signed up for stuff. As the internet got more ubiquitous, I was surprised to start finding the username "azami" already taken, so I started using the full name "azamiryou".

I do it with no space and all lowercase because I've been using computers forever, and in the old days most usernames didn't allow capital letters or spaces, so it seems more natural to me. :smile:
