Note to self, don't get a transfer if the captain of the USS Pyro's nick is Boomer. [:D]

Or Plunger..[:D]

Kinda like one of my Jazz teacher's first name was Bobby. It wasn't Robert and a nick, on his birth certificate it said Bobby.

My friends were watching an anime and pegged me with the name of one of the characters. They thought that I resembed him in some way (the guy in the foreground of the picture). Go figure!

My nickname for a long time now has been "extender". Evidently while parking I reminded a friend of a guy operating the feuling boom on KC-130.

In the army I got the nick "Blue Ranger" because of an aquamarine ring I used to wear. That one got pegged on my by noone less than the DI. Of course I've also had to deal with the ubiquitous "ski" which is the fate of anyone with a polish last name.

It dates from my Uni days some 20 years ago. "Grey" is short for my name (Graham) and "Shaft" refers to my success with ... ah ...it's kind of ... well at Uni I did a lot of ... hmmmm... there's really no way to explain this in a public forum [;)]

No, lemme guess.....being "shaft"-ed by the profs was how you explained your illustrious GPA? [:)]

I am getting back to beung a free-childlike person, but given the nature of the forum I would take something stronger now, like"kicksasswarhammerand"

...time to get your prescription renewed...

Who cares [&:] [:D]

(and this time I was first, irrelevant [:D] )

ChezDaJez...

Chez was my nickname in the Navy (last four letters of my last name).

Jez is short for Jezebel. Jezebel is the old codeword for airborne passive acoustic sensors which is what I did in the Navy. I was Chez the Jez and pretty soon became ChezDaJez.

BTW, Julie was the codeword for airborne active sonar. I believe these codewords were originally used during the P5M Marlin / P2V Neptune days. Rumor had that these were the names of 2 hookers from Washington DC that the Airborne ASW project manager "dated."

pauk (croatian word) = spider

Got mine playing a FPS called Kingpin, need a name to play on line with.

Had just watched the film "lock stock and two smoking barrels" its a British gangster flick, there a mob hit man/hard man in that called Bob the Hatchit.

Thought it was a cool name and used it ever since, as my online name and gamespy monika.

Real names Neil.

My kids call me DadMan. Go figure.

Back in the late 80's when in Jakata for 6 months my mate used to call be cobba all the time (Aus Slang)
he went to find a t shirt with cobba on it Cobra was the closest so i've been Cobra
ever since when I tried to join the Forum it took 3 tries (new name each try)
Cobra Aus worked so stuck with it - funny how things evolve over time

Cobra Aus

Tree Spider ....trees live in the forest and spiders live in webs...

Forest Webb

isn't it obvious?

Well, you know, it sorta just came to me one night... Actually started using it on a theology discussion board. And just hung with it through the rest of the boards I've been on.

"Feinder" was a character I played in my daze in pen-and-paper RPGs. When UO came out, he was my character. As the other MMROPGs came out (EverQuest, Asheron's Call, Dark Age of Camalot, Horizons, World War 2 Online), I've always played the same character. It keeps things consistant. And the name is unique enough that, people will actually recognize me from game to game. I don't play any of them at the moment (except WW2O occasionally); so at this point, it just makes the "Login:Password" easier. Same login, same password, for everthing.

:^)

-F-

Well...

Although nicknames people have given me have come and gone (and some are not adequate for public forums), this one came about out of respect for what a full spread of Long Lances from this ship could have done in a night battle. I was actually surprised the nick was not taken, and I did have Oi as my second option.

And yes, you could say I am a Japanese cruiser fanboy

Department and badge number. I have had to write it on every ticket, summons and warrant I have issued for the last 15+ years so it is easy to remember.

I figuered it was easier than my State ID# that is on my court notices every week: NJ01230003658

From Frank Herbert's Dune scifi books.
