What is the meaning of your screen name?

[pramjockey]

My first real career was working as a paramedic. In Colorado, the ambulance crews call the gurney a "pram." So, I was a pram-jockey. I started using it back in 96 or so, and even though I've left EMS, I've always liked the nickname.

 

[Telly]

Telly was a nickname my college roommates came up with. Telly Savalas from the Kojak TV series. He is bald and so am I.

 

[DaveInDenver]

Who loves ya, baby?

 

[Rotorgeek]

I have been a big fan of helicopters since i was a kid, so when someone found this toy person with helicopter blades on his back she got it for me. She said I knew way to much about them even tho I don't fly them, and some how Rotorgeek came out.

 

[SRT08BUS]

Most people say the license plate fits me better than my rig, but I wanted it be SHRTBUS, I need to read be for I type, I picked SRT08BUS because of my lic. plate and it was the first 08 sold in Colorado.

 

[RedCreeper]

I guess mine is a bit confusing since i drive a White FJ. I was looking for a CB handle and Canonball from when I was a kid just did not fit. My name came about because my first 4x4 was a Red CJ7. With 4:11 gears and a T18 Granny I would get out and walk it down the block in my neithborhood in first gear. I lived in VA also where going slow was even more taboo. The lower the gear the better idea was just starting to sink in on the east coast. It creeped over everything. My uncles Jeep was red also so it is a family color of sorts. No matter the event i was at they new my Jeep. Man i miss it. The new improved version i think will be a Orange color so not sure how to work that one but it will be a creeper with a 203 to 205 doubler and the T18 granny with 4:56 gears.

 

[Blackdiamond72]

Whats in a name?

I used to rock climb all the time when I lived in Upstate NY and the majority of my gear came from a company called "Black Diamond". I first used the name on a climbing thread through EMS "Eastern Mountain Sports" and it has stuck since.

The 72 was my car number when I ran quarter midgets, mini sprints, dirt modifieds, and super modifieds. I ran two cars when running mini sprints so I had a 72 and 72A. Never used Blackdiamond72A for anything though.

 

[Bobzooki]

Being a poet, who works principally with Haiku, my screen name is obvious, isn't it?

You see, my name is Larry, and I drive a Subaru...no, that's not going to work...

Well, nobody's going to buy that one, either...

Basically
Old
Bob
Zips
Over
Obstacles
Killing
Idleness


Yeah, that's it.

 

[jacdaw]

I never would have guessed haiku. I was thinking you played octave mandolin in a Greek or Irish trad band.

Well, that's just because of my Celtic influence...

[Rezarf]

Wow, last post was from Bob...

Lets here from the new (since 2009) guys and gals...

 

[mukker4life]

mukker-4-life

A (Mucker) is a term used for a firefighter on the Denver Fire Department.

Not really sure why I misspelled it?

I have since promoted to Lieutenant but I am sticking with the handle.

Mukker4life.

 

[baja1d]

baja1d- the road on the baja peninsula that connects San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. In high school we'd take many surf trips down this road.

 

[Firetacoma]

Firefighter, Tacoma driver.

I have also gone by firemantaco around the internets if this name was taken.

But one of these two names have been with me since I started visiting forums in 2000.

 

[mcgaskins]

One of my close friends told me when she could always rely on me to be there as she was going through some rough times. She was an acrobat and did wire stuff, and she told me once I was just like her personal safety net. So, MTSN - Matt the safety net. Kinda cheesy I know!

 

[80Series]

I am not very good when it comes to creativity, especially when it comes to names. So I went with the name that made the most sense at the time since I had a 97 LC. Now that I explain I see how boring it is

 

[smslavin]

baja1d- the road on the baja peninsula that connects San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. In high school we'd take many surf trips down this road.

same here however, i preferred the gulf side. spent huge amounts of time camping at gonazaga bay and free diving with the whale sharks. such an amazing place once you get away from the border areas.

 

[Dirt Claude]

I once owned a poop brown FJ60. I had a few other names came to mind at first, but ended up with Dirt Claude.

I'm probably due for a name change since that rig is long gone, just haven't found the right one yet.

 

[DenCo40]

Denco40...
"Den"ver- where I live
"Co"lorado- State in which I reside
40- as in FJ40

Years ago in the forums I was Denvertaco. Back in the day when I built Tacomas.
