Whats the story behind your screen name?!

TOO MUCH stuff to multi quote. Honestly, I feel like an average sized guy. I always see someone bigger and taller here in Wa and cause of that I feel like I'm actually short.

 

Now would be a good time to work up here. They're re-doing the whole highway in Eagle River, and they're getting ready to actually START on the bridge from Gov. Hill to Kinik Goose Bay.

 

This is what I'm sayin. So many guys over 6' here I wouldn't consider it tall. Being tall, you should stand out from the crowd. 6'6" or more is tall, and even then at 6'7" I don't feel particularly tall.

 

Fuc£! I knew i shoulda stayed! Bridge work is what i do! IRONWORKERS UNION LOCAL 377 FTMFW!

 

HOLD THE PHONE @roehoe72


Are you implying that Alaska is better than Vacaville?

 

Yes sir i am!

 

Good thread idea, I like that it makes screen names a more personable and give insight to where people may come from.

Back in the day... I used to enjoy playing arcade or DOS (pre-windows PC) car racing games. My screen name for the high score page (for those that remember those) was crashnburn, because that was how it inevitably always ended. When I got my first email crashnburn was taken. At the time I was driving a suped up 1980 VW rabbit, with a 1987 Scirocco 16v engine/tranny swap and full TT exhaust and Koni fully adjustable suspension, neuspeed swayers + every chassis brace available and gutted for light weight. For those not in the old school VW crowed, this is about a 60%+ power increase over stock (double what a TRD supercharger will give you) with a new short ratio manual tranny geared 100% purely for acceleration, throwing fuel economy out the window (vs the stock manual trans geared for economy), in an 1800lb car. I could literally fight a Porsche in the twisties, and did every single chance I got.

So it became crashnburn80 and has been for almost 17 years. You can find me on other forums under the same screen name, especially if you have come from the Jeep community. I switched to Toyota's when I bought a house and needed to haul stuff for the home, which Jeeps just don't do at all.

 

My screen name? Take your pick...

- Some might say I'm a shady character.
- I like to think I'm a bit mysterious and sometimes a bit sinister.
- Sometimes my humor is a little dark.
- I like the cover of darkness as it helps maintain anonymity.
- I just think it's a cool name.

 

my initials and taco. simple lol

 

Grew up watching the godfather with my dad. Always like the Idea of being a mademan (someone who is untouchable) I'm an Italian to. Mademan was taken on xbox already when I was a kid so I added the 925 (area code) to create my own. Been using Mademan925 for user names ever since.

 

My first name obviously. 147 refers to my first Fire Academy back in 2008. That's when I turned myself around and I have incorporated that number in my email addresses and other usernames since as a simple reminder of where everything really started for me. It's also a reminder that anything is possible.

 

Mr Grimm from Twisted Metal

 

Haha that's awesome!! Used to love that game!

 

I have two, stitched scars on my face from foolish accidents. 30 stitches total.

 

Or at least a silhouette of my personality.

 

For what it's worth my cat is named Shadow as well...

 

I've been told that sometimes I move and have reflexes like a cat. Seems like a purrrrrfect name for your cat to me.

 

Pretty sure this post is ban worthy.

 

Just the name given to me at birth. Same name as my father, great-grandfather and son.

 

Mine is a model number of a motherboard I had years ago. Why I chose it, no idea.
