I was looking at the user names everyone chooses, I find that fascinating what some people come up with & why. I would love to hear why you came up with the user name you did (choose)!

I will start:
Mine Gypsy-TDA

TDA is my initials.
Gypsy actually has many reasons. I was moving at least once every 3 months for a long time, lived out of my car, etc, etc.. along with...
I was in NY (with some jerk I was dating at the time) at Ellis Island, some Gyspies kept following me, and turns out they thought i was part of their family, apparently I have the gypsy look.. explains why I never those those creatures I called parents have nothing in common with me (smiles) really I don't look like my parents, or relatives very odd!

OK Next...

Well since no one else has stepped up to the plate, I guess I'll chime in.

Marysville is the home of HAM (Honda of America Manufacturing). And while I don't work for HAM, I do work for, shall we say, a "Honda-related" company

Its just a take on my nickname, Butch. Nowadays when you go by just "Butch" people don't know if your a man or a woman. So I figured I would put "boy" at the end. I was named after my father so my Mom had to give me a nickname.....Butch
.....Oh, and by the way, I'm a boy :shock:

that is cool going with the HAM location for your name, cool. Thank you for stepping up!

And Butchie-boy, cute, nice thought there too! Yeah it is hard when youa re named after a parent then what right, two people running everytime their name is spoken. We had the names that just sounded the same problem in our home.

Yazoo was what I was called since people butchered my last name. Back in the day, working in Syracuse, NY, a collegue called me "The Great Yazoo", sort of a take off on the Flintstones. He called the house one day and asked my wife, "Is this Mrs. Yazoo?" It kind of stuck, and got shortened to "Yazoo" or "Yaz".

I added the "68" for my birth year, since, at the time, AO HELL had a Yazoo. So did Earthlink. And Hotmail. So, I stuck with it.

Hey I think that is a cool name to get stuck with (Yazoo)
My maiden name was way too close to our hairy Star Wars friend, and I was cursed for that for many, many years! I lived with Chewie, Walking Carpet, and the Wookie.. along with the prior names I had a dance named after me they called it the Hokey Wokey.. ahh the joy of cruel children! But you have a cool nick name, enjoy!
Thank you very much for sharing!

ALMONDOG IS THE NAME OF MY ****ER SPANIEL, HES MY BUDDY.

simply.. awwwww that is so cute: ALMONDOG

is your ****er the fawn color? That is so cute. They are cute dogs (I just hope yours does not have the greet & pee problem that most ****ers are pleagued with).

I picked this one up a few years ago. I am currently in the military. I did short tour of duty in Panama, and a couple times everyone went out to party but I stayed back on base, wasn't feeling to good. So I became the one man party for that tour! Funny how things just follow you around. :)

Gosh, our's is really simply. My 1st inital, my wife's, and our last name.

RML

Sorry, no good storys, or even much thought went into it. :(

1manparty that is really cool, and it is neat what follows us.. very cool!

it doesnt get much clearer than that! lol I live in Florida and my name is Glenn!

I've had a Miata for several years and just upgraded to my first mini SUV.

I think you all have great stories as to why you picked your user names.
I look forward to chatting with anyone on this site about... well, anything!
from our New Kool Elements to general discussion.

Have a great weekend everyone!
Glenn 8)

I dont mind. as i tell others, it's like being a mini-celebrity. everyone wants to talk to you!!!!! HAHA! :D

I got the Sea Mist color. Not sure as to why they named it Sea Mist because it's more a sand tan color. Hey they should of named it FloridaGlennTan! ha ha clearrrly, kidding! :lol:

thanks for the Note TDA!!!

the color? It is listed Shorline mIst, I have never called it Sea Mist, is that something local to you that they do? I double checked online & they call it ShorlineMist, hummmm

congrats on your new Element Woo Hoo!

TDA -

I am such the BIGGEST goooof-ball! please accept my appology!
YES, YOU ARE CORRECT! you did your Nancy Drew and I was so quick on writing you back that I miss spelled it.. im such a bed E! owner! I dont even know my own kids name! AND by kids, i mean my E!

Its Shore Line Mist! Its almost silver looking but one notch down! She's sitting outside soaking up some 70 degree sunshine! gotta wash her though.. its been a week! LOL BTW: I LOVE YOURS! I had on order a Green and Blue and my color came in and i said "I'll take it"...!!!!

GLENN :wink:

FloridaGlenn: Thank you, you made me smile, and laugh.. i enjoyed that response. And at least I know I did not lose my mind, i was beginning to wonder, smiles.

So now the shoreline mist, this is my big question on the color is it more tan-beigey or is it like a champagne color? dying to know have not seen that color in person...

DarkwingD is short for Darkwing Duck, a cartoon from the early to mid 90's. It happens to be my favorite cartoon and also my initals(DD).

Just saw on the other page that Darkwing is our 21 year old Target Demographic Honda Element Owner!

Now wow he remembers Darkwing duck, at such a young age.. grin.. yeah I recall that cartoon that was cute & cool! (Darkwing is hardly as annoying as Donald was).

Gypsytda,

ToonDisney has reruns of Darkwing. :D

ahh so do you think our Darkwing just saw them last week? hee (hey we now have to pick on the youngen' right?) :twisted:

I need not television!
I have most of the shows on VHS!
muhahahahaha........... 8)

Iskterol is a character in a series of books that I quite enjoyed. See this excerpt from my website to get more detail.

http://members.rogers.com/isketerol/just_who_is_isketerol.htm

Iskie

isketerol cool name.. and those sound like some neat books.. I hope you too have learned more than personal gain in life..

(to borrow from the "Milk" campaign) So, got Element? Which one, and how ya like?

Thanks. I do like to think I have learned something more than personal gain, yes.

I am waiting for the dealer to get my Element. :( I have asked them to get the Silver for me, if not then the choices are the beige, the blue, the green, the orange and last choice of all is black. The wait is driving me nutz. :evil:

I have to stop reading all of the posts as all of the discussions made me want to get fish-eye mirrors which jumped onto my current truck - Chevy S-10. So now I have to get them for the "E" as well. And all of the raves over the carpets in the colder/wetter (snowy) climes have made me want those as well :!:

I do promise to get my bf to post some pictures of me and my "E" when I get it.....

Iskie

Iskie cool, and we all shall look forward to those pix! I know how exciting the Element is, i was gonna go nuts until mine arrived.. and finally i have it, and i love it.. but don't shy away from us, read, enjoy and you will learn alot of the element and the crew here, great peoples!

How did I get my name....

"windowtint" .. well... since this month is my 15th year of custom window tinting .. that about explains it...

I've been using "windowtint" on these different message boards for years

I've used "windowtint / window_tint" since 1988 when I started tinting (I was 14) ~ ~ have been online since 1987 ~ anyone remember BBS's??? (I remember the internet before there was an internet.... ok.. now I feel like some old dude....)

yeah real old, sheesh so what started when you were 14 and been doing it for 15 years so you are 29.. sheesh.. well anyhow.. you obviously know your stuff by now.. is this your own business? And congrats on the anniversary of your work!

Lets see, 15 years tinting , started at 14= 29. Don't feel like an old dude. Some of us are really older dudes. 30 was the one of the best times of my life! :D .....So Enjoy.

ok you said 30 was one of the best years of your life, so you past 30?? now i am confused, help, smiles..

Yeah Gypsy, forgot to add that (sometimes I try to forget) 43 years young!

ALMOST 29....more math! :lol: only 19 days till my bday AND the anniversary of the first job I ever worked on (yes.. I worked on my bday~ I was anxious to start.. little did i know...)

Yeah kinda stuck with ya huh (windowtint) the job that is eternal. I know i have such a strong medical background, i could not even get a computer job with out it being linked to medical.. oh well hey we all have our niche eh?

ibutchman and 43 young cool.. keep it going that way!

Yeah I recall 30.. it was only a year & 1/2 decade ago! smiles.. just sounds like more when said that way eh? grin.. ok anyhow..

tommy is my real name
roks=rocks.

I rock man!!! :D

eh tommy i kinda guessed that was the name plan there.. that you rock.. grin.. but hey i think the most awesome is element-j with that wicked site of his.. and the step by step instruction and photos.. totally awesome.. so now you have to work on competing to earn your "roks" grin!

[quote:d84297d22e="GYPSYTDA"]eh tommy i kinda guessed that was the name plan there.. that you rock.. grin.. but hey i think the most awesome is element-j with that wicked site of his.. and the step by step instruction and photos.. totally awesome.. so now you have to work on competing to earn your "roks" grin![/quote:d84297d22e]that is true....

so tommy you gonna show us you rock, smiles... :lol:

ahh we offically reached silliness I see.. since Sharp states his head comes to a point.. grin.. I love these peoples!

I'm a software tester. A job that could be adequately performed by the Tourister Luggage gorilla with a keyboard. No Element yet. Was waiting for the AWD 5-speed EX....dreams crushed, but I still have some hope. So until I hear for sure, I'll wait. If it's a no-go, I'll buy the auto in May. That's when I'll break out the powertools and Void Some Warantees! Woohoo.

Keymonkey you warranty killer you...

definatley keep posted, like i had mentioned before until i see some firm official information on a yeah or nay on the maul ex 4wd and the side air bags.. don't take anything as fact.. when I see something I will post it immediately!

Thank you and take care!

Nope, I don't stink!

Atleast, I don't think so. Hmmm, I am single. Better change my deodorant!

Hehe... I got this name because I like words that are common yet very underutilized. Like parfait, and democrat. :)

Also, at the moment of registration on epinions.com, I was thinking about the Skunkworks team that builds many of the military's ultra-secret bombers. The name was kinda cool, so I prefixed it with Super, because that's the kind of guy I am.

So there you go. SuperSkunk (c) 2003 Derek Knight, All Rights Reserved.

Derek

Derek you are a trip & great story behind that name, very cool!

I worked construction while in college and the boss on the job had a tendency to call people by their name and add "mo" on the end. I don't know why, and it didn't work with all names. Anyway some friends heard that and it stuck.

When selecting the color for our EX, we originally wanted Silver and the word was embraced by our son. We eventually chose Shoreline Mist but, we kept the name "SILVER"

Work as a NASA contractor. aka lyonsx2 - saw that really cute photo posted on this site and made me think of this name instead! lyonsx2 is a generic I've had 4ever.

You don't want to know how I chose my handle.

My name is a verbose abbreviation of my first two initials, AQ. It's short to type and is never taken! Now if only people would guess how to pronounce it on the first try. :)

Well, I work underground and in the dark so I don't get a lot of sun. That makes my skin kinda grey looking, like an alien... I threw on the Element part for obvious reasons. :roll:

I was an Army medic for a few years and acquired the nickname...along with any other non-deployable person. A "remf" is a rear-echelon mother f**ker. I though it made a great handle...

Alien that is cool.. personally i am so white i glow.. smiles.. the sun does not even bother to focus on me, i don't even burn.. not worth the sun's bother i suppose.

remf, ahh interesting, loverly.. works though eh?

I was disapointed that your name is simply your initials. I thought the TDA was short for Tada! As in I'm Gypsy, TADA!!!! I though, what great self esteem. :lol:

Nick248

Nick = My name
248 = The sequence number assigned to my Integra Type R

Needed a new screen name and I have a lot of skull stuff, shirts, licence plate hold etc. boneheadz was avialable on yahoo.

My screen name is what I do...I'm a molecular evolutionary biologist and I teach a university course in Evolution! :D Learn it, accept it, live it!

Best to all!

(just picked up my silver 5-spd manual EX....loving every mile, and so far no glitches!)

Very funny! Being in the reserves as a communications guy, I can relate!

Let's call it a... hobby of sorts. An area of interest left over from my days as a tiny youngster watching "In Search Of" with Leonard Nemoy.

This was the look on my face when the Bigfoot show aired: :shock:

Peace...

Tom

My big nose is the inspiration behind my username. The E flows with the topic of the site.

Woof!

45 MY AGE!
STANG FOR MARLBORO MUSTANGS WHERE I AM A FOOTBALL COACH!

I chose mine by combining my pets names: Alegresha :wink:

Ale for Alex, my bird
gre for Gretchen, my dauschaund
sha for Shadow, my chow

when i was in college, they automatically assigned you a username to get onto the network systems, typically your first initial and your full last name. but my last name was pretty common, so i got my first name and last initial. then a lot of my friends started calling me, alternately "shawns" or "Shawn S," so it sort of became my unofficial name. :)

It's what I got when I first got connected to a corporate email server, kept it ever since. First initial and last name. Nothing fancy, but I don't have to think about it much. :?

BoomerGer goes back aways! 30 years or so ago, I was a CB'r and my handle was Boom-Boom. 25 years later, it started being shortened (?) to Boomer. When I started using a screen name, naturally it came as BoomBoom, but someone ALREADY had that! (Imagine that!!) So I went to Boomer and used Ger, which is short for Gerry, which is already short for Gerald. People look at the name and pronounce it boo-MER-grrr, until I tell them it is BOOMER-Ger (that's why I capitalize the G). Are we having fun yet?

With regards to my last post, I realize I do not use BoomerGer as the screen name in here, I use my real name, Ger Brassfield. What a dunce I am!!

When I brought home my new SOP Element 2 weeks ago, my next-door neighbor was outside... he came over to me and exclaimed "this is the goofiest lookin' thing I have ever seen, what are you going to call it "'da orange box"? And so it goes... Needless to say, he thinks his 1972 Plymouth "Scamp" is the coolest looking car out there. Need I say more?

The scamp might not be the coolest but it is one of the coolest looking cars ever made.

My parents has a Dodge Dart, the sister car of the Scamp. What a POS! That thing made the Nova look like a Porsche in comparison! Tell that guy to get a life! 8)

I have owned 2 valiants, the 4 door dart. the best cars ever made.

Hey boneheadz... the Roadrunner or the "Cuda might be considered "cool" cars, but, c'mon... the Scamp a cool car? We may disagree on the Plymouths... but I will say, it looks like we agree on the "E"! Sunstroke, my neighbor needs a life... afterall it consists of nothing more than polishing his Scamp and pruning his fig trees... Weeeee, how fun!

5spdE
very simple, i own a 5 speed Element

:lol: I guess sarcasim doesn't work in writting. Love the valiant and scamp but just kidding about the cool. Need a tongue in cheek emoticon.

I've owned a 4 door '74 Dodge Dart. It was a fine vehicle! Sold it to my ex brother-in-law! Think it ran for years after that.

Hey boneheadz, I agree! >> smile <<

wfo - wide f**kin open

Well, mine takes a little explaination. My fiance is a huge collector of Turtle things,she loves turtles. Well, she has an '01 Civic that I have HEAVILY modded. When I joined another forum, I wanted to use something that had to do with her since it was her car. SO I picked Turtle, plus the car is really slow like a turtle LOL (shed hit me real hard if she saw me write that). Ive been usinghte s/n Turtle for the longest. When I got an email address it was Turtle2K1LX, which was Turtle + 2001(year of car) + LX (trim style). In turn Ive been using Turtle for the longest so why confuse myself into using somwthing else. So Turtle is was.

:D PepperJaxx is the name of the company that I have recently started. I sell hot sauces, spices dry rubs, salsas, anything hot & spicy!! :shock: So I had to get a vehicle to suit the needs of my business and one that stood out from the crowd. The SOP Element was a PERFECT choice!! Lots of hauling space, perfect color, and definelty grabs attention. SO anyone who likes the hot stuff, drop me a line with your name & addy and as soon as they are ready, I'll send you a FREE catalog or price list!! Hope there are a lot of ChiliHead slash EOwners out there!! 8)

timt777@bellsouth.net

Well, mine's pretty boring. My first name is Misty. My last name is Mills.

Other screen names I've used in my life have been Princess Mist (I know I know, but I was 14 and it was my first BBS and I wanted to be Princess Misty but the Y wouldn't fit) and Fiera.

I also use a lot of different names for my online RPGs, but those don't count as they are character names.

Anyway, I just got my Element yesterday and as I just got braces a few days ago, I almost went with an annoying screenname like IJustGotBracesAndNowILookLikeIAm12.

Which wouldn't be bad if I wasn't 27.

StLouisPenguin....I live in St. Louis and my husband's nickname for me is Brave Lil Penguin (we collect penguins).....so hence I am StLouisPenguin :)

hmmmm, don't know really, seems i've always been called misfit... :mrgreen:

Well, I have red hair (a couple of shades darker than Sunset Orange Pearl), and "Flame" is always taken, hence the altered spelling.

My screenname is ExpressElement after my bunny Express. I got a baby bunny last year at Easter and when I let him out I could never catch him because he was so fast. I use Express in most of my screennames now, kinda a tradition.

My husband actually chose the login name here. We were trying to think of vanity license plates and got on the "Turtle" thread because our E is GG.
Spouse was joking that it was a mutant because it seems to be a combination of many different SUV's/Cars/Trucks. I laughed and said "It's a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Vehicle" just as we were filling out the login registration. Nuff said!

My friend Lynn thinks I am feline, no-nonsense, and sexy (in my own way). She has called me "Kitten With A Whip" "Tiger Goddess" and "Luscious Hellcat" and "LusciousHellcat" stuck.

And you know, she's kind of right.

:wink:

Foxtail is actually derived from a much beloved canine companion. Shannon was a foundling (left by the roadside at about 5 weeks) and was a truly happy dog. When people would ask my husband what her breed was, he would tell them that she was a fox-tailed coyote. It is absolutely amazing how many people believed him.

So, when I started looking for a user name for email, etc., foxtail just came to mind. Shannon died 3 years ago, and will never be forgotten. I'm using foxtail as an ID, she will always be in our hearts, and we're still finding her dog hair. That dog molted year-round!


(BTW, we now have 3 dogs, foundlings all: a hound mix, a border collie mix, and a 3-legged rat terrier. Life is not dull with 3 dogs, and they are all looking forward to the arrival of my E. Going in the car is way high on their list of favorite things.)

I own (hopefully not for much longer) a white Dodge Caravan which is nicknamed the "fridge" because of its resemblance to a refrigerator. I picked my name cratE because my SLM E looks like a "slated wooden case for transporting goods" (quoted from the Oxford Dictionary). Trust me, this is a term of endearment.
P.S. FYI I had a '72 Hemi Orange Dodge Challenger named Agent Orange.

[quote:7ff306191c="cratE"]. FYI I had a '72 Hemi Orange Dodge Challenger named Agent Orange.[/quote:7ff306191c]

I love it!!!!

Ok, this will be pretty simple to explain.
Cincy = Cincinnati
(Live in Cincinnati)
Element = Element (Best Honda)
...and the result......

CincyElement

Mine is simply what I do. I transport pediatric patients via helicopter and ambulance. Hard to get a screen name that somebody doesn't already have, so this usually works.

[quote:3cf0fae77c="pedsflightrn"]Mine is simply what I do. I transport pediatric patients via helicopter and ambulance. Hard to get a screen name that somebody doesn't already have, so this usually works.[/quote:3cf0fae77c]

I imagine that some children, even though sick, are excited about the helicopter flight. And that some are scared. I bet you do a lot of hand-holding. Bless you and all the kids who you see.

I'm a Bartender in Key Largo

Thanks Hellcat for the praise. I guess it is very rare that anyone who merits a flight (is sick enough) is very aware of the flight. But, when they get better many of them come up to see the helicopter so they have a better idea of how they got here. Very small space for so much work! :? However, the helicopter ride for me is still exciting for me even after 4 years! I never really get tired of that whole adrenalin rush. Guess that's why I do what I do.

[quote:eb46fc43e5="keysbartender"]I'm a Bartender in Key Largo[/quote:eb46fc43e5]

That doesn't strike me as a bad life at all.

Except I'd sunburn.

My handle is just my initials-"BW"
My Element is Hurtle=Hulk turtle

That doesn't strike me as a bad life at all.

Except I'd sunburn.


I hear that sister friend.....I make Casper look tan :lol: :lol: :lol:

But it wouldn't be a bad gig at all :)

My name comes from a game that I played. I was playing a demo of Dead or Alive 3 and when it told me to enter my name I just put in a bunch of random characters. It seemed a really funny name at the time so it stuck in my mind.

Mine's a typo - I intended elemental, but hit the wrong key and don't know how to change it, sooo . .

I usually use GIVGUY, but recently realized that most people read it as give guy, when what I intended is G 4 guy, 'cause to earn my daily bread, I fly a Gulfstream G IV (four) business jet. And I'm a guy. Oh, well . .

I am a big Simpson's TV show fan, and liken myself to Homer in so many ways, so I took my name from the truck Homer got in one of the episodes. It was called the "Canyonero" and was a monstrosity. For the truck's theme song and a picture of it go to this link.

http://hangingon.org/canyonero.html

Heard the song "Steve McQueen" by Sheryl Crow? It'll rock your Element 8) and since I am of the female gender ;) Stevie seemed more appropriate than Steve......

Gee I wonder...

I live in La Jolla (i'm a grad student, not a rich local) + I drive an Element, hence...

Also, i chose this moniker because people in La Jolla are so boring. they all seem to drive the same cars: Mercedes, Jaguars, BMWs, Porsches, etc. No imagination, almost lemming like, i might add. If i had a dollar for every black car mentioned above, i'd be one of the rich locals!

My E mixes things up a bit. Now, I'm seeing more on the road, so that makes me happy.

my last name Shen+iferous (i think i was thinking of the word splendiferous when i made it)

switters is the hero of tom robbins' novel "fierce invalids home from hot climates"
he's a study in paradox just like me.
switter's carries a special "case" that houses his laptop computer and satellite phone. seemed especially fitting now that i have my special case on wheels.

"Sons of Liberty"

I am a lover of American History, and am facinated with the subset of our founding fathers who were members of the SOL. We owe our freedom (or what's left of it) to them.

Hi,not more than a few hours after delivering our E to home,we took a vote on where to go out for dinner.My family blithey asked "what car are we driving?"and of course I piped up"Well of courseTHE CUBE!"hense the name of our E and handle on the forum....Larry

HokiE: an alumnus (or in this case 2 alumni) of Virginia Tech, who recently added an E to the family.
Our athletic teams are known as the Hokies...

I'm a diehard standup jetski rider, and ride a Yamaha Super Jet, and my last name is Jett, so, SuperJETT.

Before I switched to Yamaha, I rode a Kawasaki Jet-Ski, so my nick was JETT-ski.

Funny how my name ended up being what I do. I compete semi-pro, organize rides, moderate/admin on pwctoday.com, etc. If you want to see some videos, check out my site, www.superjett.com

I have red hair and I used to be really into punk music and I'm a bit of a brat when I want to be, thus punk-like :wink:

I live in Chandler, Arizona, and my name is Mike :)

I'll let you guys figure out how I came up with my username :)

Mike

Well I guess I'm next on the mic.... I've been called Nemo since I was about 5, no one outside my family can seem to pronounce my last name so I've been stuck with it, just like my mom and dad while they were in the Air Force... but Kapt Nemo in my dj name when I'm recording, and or spinning at parties... :lol: :lol:

My name is Jim and I used to work for a small Internet company called Xenus Media. So I put the two together and I find that it's pretty unique so I don't have to put any numbers after it when signing up for things like AOL IM.

joedohc

Well, my name is Joe

DOHC = Dual OverHead Cam

In the Dodge Neon community (My Current Ride), there are two groups (now 4). The "single cam guys" and the "two cam guys". I am a two cam guy.

Since the two cam went away with the new style, there is the "second gen guys" and with the release of the SRT-4, there are the "lucky bastard guys".

I am reading the book Blue Highways. Which was actually recommended to me by my E's salesman. Very good book if written now he would have had an Element instead of a Ford Ecconoline Van though. 8)

I think mine's just obvious. It matches the vanity plate that's in the pipeline.

I guess it might be easier to figure out if you could see the color of my Element though...

You guys are all going to think mine's weird. :wink:

I'm a Civil War reenactor; a bugler to be specific. At the 135th Anniversary reenactment of the battle of Gettysburg, someone had put me into the roll book as "Bug. Garbeck," (short for bugler). Maybe it was because it was really hot and we'd been there for a week already, but everyone thought it was hysterical, so it became my official nickname and hasn't gone away since.

Well, I AM a gardener by trade, so my username is really quite simple! I've used many different types of vehicles for my business, but the E is PERFECT!!! (of course it's green too) Shelley

I gave mine the name blue highways, because I was reading the book when I bought the E. It seemed right. :D

Mine is an acronim (?) (sorry..I flunked the official "names for words things" class)

S= Sound P= Pressure L= Level DR= Doctor

I work in the music industry, and my area of expertise is PA systems and Backline for instrument amplification. I am also known as the "Queen of Loud", Director of "Make it Loud" and a couple other names I won't tell ya ;-)

Mine describes me. A gypsy as well. The E is for Element of course which I should be owning on Friday, Oct. 10, 2003. I'm a gypsy in heart, but can't be in practice right now. Too many responsibilities. But to quote Jimmy LaFave, I've got "a gypsy heart", and Bob Dylan, "a dark rhythm in my soul." :roll: :roll:

While I have a ton of nicknames (Squid, Wild Bill, Bitman, Squirrel, Buckets, Worm, Mr. Peabody,...), I wanted something different for here. I am a Jesus Freak, so have been known to share about how Christ has impacted my life.

I also find myself sharing the virtues of the "E", so Evangelist kind of fit.

I'm a seismologist, constantly reviewing seismograph recordings of earthquakes and all sorts of other disturbances, including landslides and terrorist bombings. This amounts to lots of time looking at wiggly lines on computer monitors, hence the name.....

my e's plate tag is boombox
in PA

i cant beleive boombox was not taken...as big a state pennsylvania is...

oh well

Kato is a nickname I was given in College seeing Bruce lee is one of my heros and I imitaded him by jumping straight up and kick out a flourecenent light out in a 10 foot dorm room and the 76 is the year I was born :twisted: :twisted:

Wife's red hair + Her Element = Leeloo from 5th Element. I made this screen name for her , but I'm the car forum junkie...:-)

I live in Seattle...and drive an E...yikes :wink:

On another board I'm Teleyak E...that ones better:
I got my E partly because I'm a telemark skiier and a kayaker, hence teleyak E!

Jesse

:D Mine is pretty easy as well. :)

I bought my E for my English Mastiffs. Of which, at the time of purchase, end of March, I had 3, 2 fawn boys and a brindle girl. Plus I had a Pit mix girl. 8)

Now, I have my Pit mix, the 2 adult male Mastiffs and 2 female Mastiffs pups. We lost mom (brindle girl) after birth. :cry:

E On!!

Kerri
AWD SOP E
Mastiffs On Board

As inspired by my EBP and a recent movie. I was thinking about calling my E The Blue Pearl.

LOL - I just hope it doesnt start ghosts riding around in my E!

Short for Tiger Box. My 4 year old son thought the colors reminded him of a tiger! In search of big, cushy orange & black tiger striped pillows for the two napsters in the back seat! :D

......I thought it would help readers relate to who I am. My two loves (along with my family of course) are music and dogs. Also the two reasons I bought this particular car - music sounds good in it and it's a "Box4dog".

Mine is so boring compared to everyone else's!

Atlanta Element = I live in Orlando and drive a 1972 AMC Pacer. Simple!

My family moved to the States from Oxford England in 1976. My father has called me keckhanded since I was a kid. its English slang for left handed ie southpaw but he did'nt use it as a term of endearment. He usually called me that after I did something goofy.
I have read that 1 in every 5 people is left handed. In my family my Mom, Dad, and sister are right handed my brother and I are left handed and the two sons my mom has with her second husband (also right handed) are both left handed. Anyone out there willing to calculate those ods? I read some great posts the other day concerning vehicle speed and engine RPM There are some wonderful number crunchers out there. :D

Snowshoe is a name from one of our businesses...and an activity I enjoy.

Satin silver metallic or "Quicksilver" which is the old name for mercury and of course, mercury is an Element! My avatar is the ancient symbol for mercury or "Quicksilver."

Snowshoe: your avatar looks really familiar. It brings to mind an abstract animator from years ago...know who I'm talking about?

No clue! :?:

Actually, it is a logo from a company of ours that always seems to prompt a quizzical eye. I have heard everything from: "If you look at it upside down it looks like an old Chinese man!" (Pardon my chuckle on this side of the screen but I can picture everyone reading this standing up in front of their computer and trying to look at it upside down :D ) to "What the heck is that?"...kind of like owning an Element!

Another good thing about EOC I get to learn new words :D IMHO that snowshoe avatar looks like a peace sign. What could be better today!

Well if it really looked like a peace sign our friend would be a well hung "snowshoest".

I seem to recall that the animator used black and white sand on black and white backgrounds to do stop-motion animation, but that's about as much context as I can remember.

...ok, well, your avatar will continue to jiggle some neurons that are no longer properly hooked up, so I guess I'll never know.

How did I miss this one?

I'm a big Frank Zappa fan, and my screen name is taken from the character in the songs "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" and "Nanook Rubs It" on the album Apostrophe'. The *ahem* "rubbing" is referring to a hunk of the aforementioned snow in the face of an evil fur trapper. ;)

My avatar is the real Nanook, or more properly: Nanuq (means "bear" in Inuit), of the North. That film is considered the first feature-length documentary and I really like documentaries, too.

brendan, have you been to http://www.irregulartimes.com/ ? I think Snoeshoe's avatar, which I love, BTW, looks like their logo. Sand? Sounds cool. Check this video out; it's cool too: http://media.ebaumsworld.com/sandsicaf.wmv

Gadzooks, Nanook...you are right. There are some similarities! Good eyes!

My avatar, which is actually the logo from one of our businesses, was originally created on a napkin...using a magic marker...and then copied, uploaded and scaled for electronic use. I wasn't sure I liked it at first...a bit too eastern for me...but the test response was pretty strong so we adopted it.

I remember this stuff ... being one in my 30s also ...

http://www.awn.com/mag/issue3.2/3.2pages/3.2student.html#eli

i too remember what you guys are talking about.. (age 35).. we had some cool stuff to watch then huh??

My given name is George and that is the name I usually use on the internet, but everyone knows me as Dusty in the real world. Two years ago I won an Apple iMac and joined the MacRumors (http://www.macrumors.com/) website and decided to register under "gMac." I was going to use that name here too but when I saw our founder's name I thought better of it and decided to use my nickname with the "E" replacing the "y" for obvious reasons. :)

Mine comes from many years ago when my son and I were in Indian Guides. He had blond hair and was Golden Eagle. I had no hair, hence Bald Eagle.

So is Golden Eagle still Golden Eagle or is he now also Bald Eagle or maybe Balding Eagle. Let's just hope he is not Implant Eagle.

He's In-Transition Eagle. Not as far along as I was it his age, plus he keeps it so closely cropped it's hard to tell.

User name comes from a project my son and I worked on several years ago. I have a '91 Mazda Miata and we decided it needed more power so we added a supercharger on it . Jacked up the horse power to around 190 with 12 psi of "BOOST". Element is fun to drive but I love the whine of the supercharger and the feeling of being slammed back into the seat when I floor the Miata.

My last name is Sussman, and 10 years ago when I started working at the bookstore that I now manage and run its website, I was nick-named The Suss-Man from some of my co-workers. I adopted thesussman as my screen name when I first went online years ago, and when I joined this forum, I decided to continue being thesussman.

Callie is our soft coated wheaten terrier. its really her car.

random is from my blog, www.randomthinks.net. Further back, it is simply an idea that I am fascinated by, randomness, and one that (sometimes unfortunately) describes my mindset.

I'll add to this recently resurrected thread... "Genom Heavy Industries" is the name of a huge ( and evil ) corporation in the 1987 anime series " Bubblegum Crisis ". It just sounds cool, and somewhat overpowering...its one of those things that you'd have to view the series to understand.

Honu = sea turtle in Hawaiian. My wife was really into turtles when we stayed on the Big Island for vacation. Swimming with the Honu's left a big impression on me too. Basically the Honu's are revered as "Travelers".

It all seems to fit, The look of the Element, the shell like quality of its shape. The urge to travel when in one. Morphing into the element....

Its my handle for the forum and the way I like to think about this fun car.

Its shell, my shell......

Hey, Honu!

I always wondered what that meant... I thought it had somethin' to do with Hawaii but I wasn't sure. :) But I can see now that Honu is a fitting name for an Element - very creative!

BTW, nice pic of you and your "E". You look realy pissed off though; SMILE!! Oh, and judging from all your protective gear I take you aren't aware that side impact airbags are an available option?? hehehe.. just kiddin!

Now, any questions?

Well I was trying for the same shape for my mug including mouth as the front end of the Element, since even the roof line matches.

Glad you see the humour in it - the track lights were just laying around in the garage when we bought the place and one day I was seized by the inspiration to use them to light my bike shrine.... I thought it was pretty funny, but some people don't get it...

Both Nightcap and 965 are Dunhill pipe tobacco blends. Nightcap is a strong latakia blend, 965 is milder and less redolent of incense.

Neither is my favorite tobacco, but the combination has the merit of being unique, and it has meaning to the Brotherhood of the Briar.

15 years ago.... playing nintendo, needed a nick for high scores. flintstones was on in the backround. It stuck... at my last job we had a 'virtual office' a kinda chat room on our workstations, everyone else had their names on it, i somehow got away with using 'gazoo' from day 1 and everyone just called me that. I think some people from there never did know my real name. I answer to both my real name and gazoo or gaz now adays.

Of course, I could get philo-spiritual and say that yoga means 'union' and my Element represents the ethers and when driving it I am at one with the universe....

but I won't.

Ah yes, the ether. I'm going to start referring to my E as the "Cosmilogical Constant".

And I Love my new 2005 NBP Element.

ra300 is the model number of a 1967 Honda Formula 1 car. I just put the "Z" on the end, no reason.

Mine is Joe Mama.

I lived with an ex-girlfriend who had the phone in her name. When I asked her to move out I had to change the name on the account but I didn't want my real name on the caller ID. So when I called I asked can I put any name on the caller ID? He said yes as long as it wasn't profane. I told him I wanted the last name Mama, first name Joe. He said, "Joe Mama? Cool" and started typing. As luck would have it it also appears in the Minneapolis phone book that way. Look it up That's my number.

Anyway that's how I got the User name and alias of Joe Mama.

Everyone knows they have to pick-up the phone when it's Joe Mama callin'

AKA Joe Mama

Joe Mama, that is too funny. Well, mine is...well...very unoriginal. 05BlackOnBlack...I have an 05...black, on black, element. And yes, as some might correct me, I probably should have put "black on grey". But oh well. :lol:

My first greyhound, Rebel.

Makes sense to me and I'm not the brightest individual!

OK, I can't stand it any longer. I've been patiently waiting, but, I just gotta ask...

Over 25 yrs. ago my fihing buddies began calling me WANKER because I was always trying to fix things that weren't working {outboard motors, fishing reels etc.}. ON sme repairs I suceeded, on others I failed. My failures were more memorable ergo WANKER. One day after a failure, one of my friends called KLINK as in colonel Klink from "Hogan's Heroes" and that has been my nickname for the last 20yrs. I just put the 2 names together for my screen name.
