Extreme Veteran  493   Bay Area, CA |  Subject: Explain your nickThere are plenty of people here who's screen names we can understand, but I'm so curious about many others of you. Mine, for example, is a character in a book called "Not Wanted on the Voyage". She is Noah's (of the Ark fame) wife's talking cat who didn't belong on the Ark, but the missus brought her along anyway. Mottyl had a bit of an attitude on her. It's not so much a religious book, I'm not a religious gal, but a bit of a morality tale with a little satire thrown in that happens to take place in a huge Christian story. I've got a thing for cats, problem with authority, and a bit of an attitude. It fits. I read the book years ago, it was published in 1984, so I've quite likely missed a huge point of it but I've been carrying the name around with me. I should read it again. |

| Master 1741 Boston | Subject: RE: Explain your nick Sorry, don't have a cool explanation for GatorGirl22, except for the fact that University of Florida rocks! (and I was 22 at the time- I'm now a wrinkly, sagging 23 year old)  |

Pro 4481 Reston | Subject: RE: Explain your nick At first glance, mine is merely a number. However, please believe that it is much more involved. Once I have submitted my 3,558th post, I forsee two possibilites. One, my 3,558th post will bring joy to a select few BTers. Or two, the event could create a time paradox, the results of which could start a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum, and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that's a worse case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localized, limited to our own galaxy. |

| Crystal Lake, IL | Subject: RE: Explain your nick Da** Straight on that one, marmadaddy. marmadaddy - 2006-01-10 12:45 PM I don't like it. Should we all live another 100 years they will still be my little girls and little girls call their father 'Daddy' not 'Dad'. Mine's pretty self explanatory. Too many people take themselves WAY too seriously. The world would be a better place if everyone would just relax a little bit. |

You're just a young whippersnapper. I'm a meteorologist, which is where my name comes from. When you look at the dynamics of the atmosphere, you quantify rotation of air (like low pressure systems rotate around a central core) with a parameter called vorticity. The region of maximum vorticitiy is abbreviated to vortmax. |

I don't like it. Should we all live another 100 years they will still be my little girls and little girls call their father 'Daddy' not 'Dad'. I'm 44 and still call my father, "Daddy". You know the cartoons where there's an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other shoulder whispering to the person about what to do? I always referred to my "angel" as "Bettylou Baptist". (Us Methodists enjoy making Baptist jokes- ha!) So Bettylou is the "good-girl" in me. And she's totally ruining her reputation hanging around in Cup of Joe! |

Guess I didn't think I'd be here two years later. There was a craps forum and "rollinbones" wasn't already taken - were there like three dudes in this forum? Don't tell me - the other guys were "crappedout" and "boxcars"? |

| Expert 893 Livermore, Ca | Subject: RE: Explain your nick courtney_leone - 2006-01-10 1:12 PM Well, Courtney is my first name and Leone is my last name A lot of my friends call me 'Corleone,' from The Godfather, and also because of my enormous Italian family. At least that's more original! I'm afraid someone would start stalking me if I posted my real name. For some reason I'm paranoid about stuff like that, like I'm that important anyone would stalk me. |

It's been a while since we've done this, so it's in need of updating, but here's a previous thread on this subject that will fill in some gaps and bring back some memories of some posters that no longer frequent this place: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=7615&start=1 |

| Regular 88 Kitchener, Ontario | Subject: RE: Explain your nick Explanation in reverse order..... Canuck - A damn proud Canadian, born and raised on the flatlands of Manitoba. Crazy - well, I have been told numerous times that I am a bit off the centre line, should be on meds/under a doctor's care, loco, warped etc (and that's just my family saying that.....) And lastly, it is a spin off of a quirky cult 1980's Canadian comic book hero, Captian Canuck. There are tonnes of similarities...... He dons his superhero outfit (Uniform) and saves (deals with) Canadians (Canadians) needing a helping hand (needing to get arrested)..... the only thing is I don't have any catch phrases. I was thinking of "dance monkey dance" but could never use it at the right time........ Jay |

| Champion 5183 Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Explain your nick JeepFleeb - 2006-01-10 2:07 PM JeepFleeb: Jeep - I've owned 3 Jeeps in my short driving career and still have 2 of them. I'm building my Wrangler (TJ) up as a pure off-road machine and the Grand Cherokee (5.9 ZJ) is to tow it on the highway. One of my long term goals is to build a CJ-5 (one of the old school Wranglers) in my garage. Fleeb - Same concept as Haagen-Dazs ice cream. Random letters thrown together which sound just enough like a real word to make people think it means something. I thought Haagen-Dazs meant "Fat Ass" in Viking? |
