Hey all,

As I was reading all the other postings, I was curious about the origins of the various handles/names. Some are easy to figure out. For example, names like "S2000-king" or "speedyS2k" (I just made those names up, did not bother to check if they really exist). However, there are some others that begs for an explanation.

I'll begin with mine...
I am in the eye care field. good vision is considered 20/20. I drive an S2000. So with a small play on word, I picked S2020 (clever eh?)

Anyone wants to elucidate the origin/meaning of their handle?

(BTW, if this topic has been done before, someone points out the link. Thanks).

 

I don't know if it has been done before..but my handle is Redbullet..because my S is Red and its the fastest color... LOL

 

PlasticTHUG... when I first logged on to the internet I worked on pro wrestling websites... called myself j-pac after the wrestler X-Pac... then J-Thug because... dunno... then used my real name blah blah. So I needed a screen name for AIM and my friend is the webmaster of plasticsword.com, so his screenname is PlasticSword... so I just made it to PlasticTHUG as a laugh... and I still have it

 

Many years ago, my friends and I would go to various Formula 5000 and F1 races and Mario Andretti was in a lot of them. I think it was 1978, when he won the F1 world championship, we gave him the name of Dario Manfretti. I thought I would resurrect that name. Besides, Speed Racer and Racer X were taken.

 

Easy. Whiteboy.

 

long story, involving a stick shift ford aerostar, a jar of calcium carbide, a redbox, police, and 400 lbs of bagels.

 

Mine is easy.... SinD.. sounds like CINDY

 

interesting....
always wonder about "PlasticTHUG".
Unabageler, I guess it's along the line of the Unabomber? Police??
SinD sounds very "alluring"

 

Mine is a name for an aerodynamic device on racecars. It's a thin strip that runs along the back of a wing to help induce turbulence and increase downforce.

 

Let's just say I keep my s2000 in a shack in the woods.
