 ;D  :) ;D  We have a lot of new members so I thought I'd bump this up. I was wondering how everyone came by their username we have some very unique ones? I was tagged fast eddy many years ago when I was an commuter airline pilot. I prided myself on being on or ahead of schedule the US Air pilots that rode with us tagged me with it. When I started using the internet in the early 90's I tried fast eddy as a username but it wasn't available so it was shortened to fstedy and it just stuck  ;D :)  ;D

Bibbyman

After we got our first Wood-Mizer some 10 years ago,  I bought a pair of bib overalls.  Mary was against it.  She even protested me wearing them.  But they were more comfortable to work in and had lots of pockets that came in handy when you were working on something with small tools and having to put nuts and bolts someplace where you could find them again.

Probably half the people that know me don't even know I own a pair of bibs the other half has never see me unless I'm wearing them.  Kind of a two world thing.

Anyway,  she started calling me "Bibbyman" and that's the story.

Tom

I don't know why but my Granddad on Dad's side was assigned the name as a reverence to family history.  He gave it to his boy who turned out to be the one that made me and he assigned it to me.  Now I've tacked it onto my first-born.

There were a lot of nicknames I could have used but I had the chance of a lifetime.  I got envolved with the forum when there weren't many users and took advantage of the opportunity to use my real handle.   You can't do that just anywhere on the Net.  I feel pretty special to be me. ;D

Ed_K

 My nickname is ede, but only friends call me that. I got it when I first learned to spell. I used my business type name here caus I wasn't up on forum edicate  ;D. Someday when my beard turns I'll change it to santa.

Dangerous_Dan

To get technical it's "Dangerous Dan the Pyro Man". When I was seven, I got a new neighbor who had a big party every 4th of July. Him and his friends were kinda wild and crazy, chucking cherry bombs around and occasionally setting the roof of my fathers house on fire with a stray helicopter or roman candle.  :o So I had to keep up with them and by 10 years old I was mixing acetalene and oxygen in ballons for a nice "pop"!  ;D Its a miracle I still have all my fingers and my hearing!  ::) Be safe, DD

Captain

Nope, I'm not a seafarer.  Never have owned a boat.  Never was in the military, and skipped right over the rank of Captain in the fire service....kind of goes like this...

When in college, I worked as an auto technicain at an independent repair facility.  I worked with two other guys.  One was kind of a mentor figure to me, very talented, by the name of Randy.  Brian, the other, although about 15 years my senior was not the brightest bulb.  Anyhow, many of the jobs that Brain did made return visits to the shop or some never left due to his lack of talent.  Randy would have me fix them, as a lesson to Brian, and I earned the name "Captain Comeback".  ie "Captain Comeback will fix it"  Somewhere along the way, Comeback got dropped and it just became Captain at my last job in a car dealership.  

The name stuck and still fits today as in essence that is what I do for my full time employer.

GareyD

Mine is the name I've had for most of my life..I say most because a funny thing happened to me and my name way back in 1972, when men were men....and had hair longer than their girlfriends... ::)

I took a copy of my birth certificate and went down to the local draft board to fill out all them papers they said I was susposed to fill out...signed my name on the bottom and got a real funny look from the clerk...she looked at me...she looked at my birth certificate...she motioned over another clerk, which got the attention of a big feller in uniform...who them came over to where I was...

The first clerk asked me if I was tryin' to be cute, or funny or what....I asked what she was talkin about as the big feller kept standin' closer and closer....she asks me why I didn't sign my legal name...Told her I had...I had signed as Gary, which was the only way I knew to sign the name I had been given from birth.....she shows me where my birth certificate was filled in as GarEy

I guess they thought I was tryin to be a draft dodger and get out on a legal technicality... ;D ;D ;D

I been GareyD ever since

crtreedude

CRTREEDUDE - I live in Costa Rica, grow trees, and I am not a girl. Not much of a story there. I Costa Rica I am probably known as the Gringo among the campesinos. Everyone has nicknames, and I was just informed that I have to start using them because I am "one of the guys" I felt very honored. However, they would be uncomfortable calling me Gringo to my face, I am usually Don Fred.




So, how did I end up here anyway?

Hokiemill

The "mill" part is easy.  Hokie is because I graduated from Va Tech in 1991.  Football season ticket holder and loving every minute of this years unexpected season.  First year in the ACC and we go from being predicted to finish sixth to winning the whole conference outright.  The best part of it is that our arch rival, UVA, has never won the ACC outright and we do it on our first try.  I'm flying high!  Now if we can just look respectable against Auburn in the Sugar Bowl........
