Default Whats the story behind YOUR user Name??

Ok just out of curiosity where did your user name come from??

Mine stemmed from the lads at work i was given the title after a scruffy character "Onslow" (pronounced onzlow not on-slow) from a British TV series called "keeping up appearances" it has stuck ever since.

Cheers ONz

Mine came from my truck obviously... however at the time I did not realise that a 109 hardtop was not called a pickup.... but I continue to use it, as a sign that I am learning about my truck, and will probably be leraning about it tilll the day I die....

KDKG

First name initial from each of my family members, i.e. 1st K = Ken.

Had about a minute to think up a user ID back in 1999 for a Yahoo account. It was the first thing that came to mind and I guess it stuck.

Real exciting, I know...

rmuller = Ryan Muller ... Yeah, I'm creative. It's funny, i've been into BBS's, online chat rooms, etc.. for almost 20 years and always used aliases.. but when I created my first forum login I just used 'rmuller' and stuck with it.

oberdahill (over the hill)

Kind of a take-off on the Filipino accent and Hawaiian slang.

Filipino's have a hard time pronouncing the letter "V" and and Hawaiian's saying "da" for "the".

My wife gave it to me 'cause I'm old, and it wasn't taken for a screen name.

Bird the nick name my dad gave to me when he was bringing me home from the hospital. He heard a song on the radio from the 60's that went "bird, bird, bird bird is the word. Have you heard about the bird?" And my family still calls me that to this day. The other story is that when I was a young lad I was a vary picky eater and I picked at my food like a bird. As for the 050666 that is my birthday

Well, he's more like a 'well developed woman'...


As far as my member name....I was afraid to use the name 'Candy'..for some of my 1-900 callers would recognize me... Instead, kellijo is my chosen name I answer to here in the midwest....
