Log in names

[AlumniClub]

After being here now for about a week i have seen some strange log in names and was wondering how you all came up with them. I had my first canoe, a heavy fiberglass one. It was green and looked like a bean so it became greenbean...the bean for short. After parting with it i purchased another canoe realizing how bad i missed it which was also green...lighter and easier to move around so it was named greenbean2. Would like to hear how you all picked your names.

[Kris10]

Good topic! My real name is Kristen, spelled with "ten" at the end. That's where I got "kris10" from.

Sorry it's not more interesting!

[Crys]

Mine is just my name. Crys is short for Crystal.

On a number of sites (and I have another user account here I can use for testing), I go by Lightning, which is a nickname I picked up because I carry a pretty hefty static charge some days. I made our time-punch clock smoke one time by touching a piece of metal tube about a foot from it. I've blown out entire circuits, making the fluorescent lights shatter and computer hard drives scramble like eggs, from touching the mouse connect to my computer. Of course, at the time, I was working in a newspaper and my desk was about five feet above the presses (literally. Some days I was worried the floor might give way and we'd all fall into the running press), so I was picking up the charge from that. I haven't blown anything up just by touching it since I left that job, but apparently I am visible in an entirely dark room because of the static crackling around me. My husband, a physicist by training, keeps making jokes about doing electrical experiments and using me instead of a battery. Now if I could just learn how to harness and control it, I would go buy tights and a cape and use my powers for eeeev... uh... good. Yeah, for, uh, good. :lol:

I love birds and I am intrigued by ravens. I even have a tattoo of a the "Raven Banner" on the back of my calf. I also am a redhead. This how I came up RedRaven. Now I use this nickname on all sites I browse.

[PannyAnny]

Pannyanny was given to me when I was knee high to a grasshopper by my grampa. LOL, that was 50 years ago. NOW I'm showing my age. My name is Pam so it came out of that some how. My usual sign in name is Putz, but it is taken a lot on sites. That one came because I am a world class procrastinator. Years ago my mom said I would be late for my own funeral, because I would need another cup of coffee and cigarette. the cigerettes 6 years ago) My family tells me that things, parties, wedding, and such start 1/2 hour before they do so I get there on time. Someone just started to call me Putz and it stuck. Well, guess I should go, my dish water is starting to get cold, waiting for me.LOL

WebForging ~ that's my moniker on most of the 100+ forums I've registered at. And the title of the book that is going to get printed soon!

The 'forging' part is supposed to connote a blacksmith forge ~ hence the branding iron I use for an avatar (and on the book cover) to show the shaping of the web. That's a real branding iron by the way, built by www.Prairie Art Metal.com, a metal sculptor southwest of Madison, and heated to 3,000 degrees for photography.

'Forging' is also what we do on the web when we make virtual knock-offs or our reality on the web.

Just to keep it homey, this is the one board I use my name at. One other oddball is Scouts.com where I'm 'ScoutMaster'.

Nice replies above ~ helps us get to know ya'all. Hope to see a lot more replies here; I've often been curious about Member names.

Regards,
Keith

[Joshua]

I messed up and put my real name as user instead of my screen name, and then put my screen name as my real name. So for those who where confused. My name is Joshua not Natural Causes.

I know this shook a couple of you, but it'll be ok...I should have told you sooner and I apologize.

Natural Causes was a charcter I use to play when I played D&D (yes I played...as in past tensed). I didn't ever kill anyone they always just so happen to die by a poison that made them die of (you guessed it) natural causes...silly I know but I enjoyed it.

with me also being raised up in a biker family got the nickname "Prospect" from birth. I always liked it.

[JuJu]

All my Nieces and Nephew call me JuJu :lol:

[MrKhay]

I use Brain because I have one. It's kinda scrambled, and mixed around...been probed, but I use it to use it. There might be some other reasons.

[kmfarm]

I use kmfarm which is the shortened version of K and M Farms, our business. The "K" and "M" are my wife's and my initials. My wife being first naturally.
