Where did you get your screen name?

Having been a member of this board for a few years, I enjoy checking out some of the unusual screen names. The origin of some are obvious, proper names, business names and so on. Where did you come up with your unusual screen name? ZZFORD was created by a friend of mine. My car is a Ford with a ZZ4 engine. I liked the name because of the little twist that came from saying "zz-four-d". Ok, you have my screen names' origin, how about yours?

 

Mine, cos we call falcons over here coons, I got the number plate COOON, so I certainly get a number of looks....

 

Lol, take a guess on mine.

 

As my brothers kids grew up and needed hot rod work done they and their buddies came to me for parts, advice, and work. Since I was an uncle to my brothers kids, their friends plus now about everyone calls me "Unclerichard"

 

This was a thread a few years ago, I will see if I can find it.

Mine is simple, last name is Watson, Doc is my Army nick name from when I was a Medic.

Its my nickname. Its an old term for hotrodding cars. I got it when I went to work at a dealership. a car that had been would come in hopped up and they would say give that to Jason he knows all about tose squirrelled up cars.Then it stuck. I've seen it used in old hot rod movies too. I've had it for ten years. I changed the spelling so people would know me by the spelling. There are a few squirels around. when someone asks me how I got the name I tell them cos every chick I meet is nuts. Ok i'm done.

I had a Video Games business that sold mostly the older video game systems and games . There is a lot of money in those games you find in yard sales ! I sold the business 4.5 years ago due to health problems but the name has always stuck with me .
Well since I sold the "RETRO" game systems and games and my name is "Jim' , I called the business "RETRO JIM'S GAMES" , so the name "RetroJim" has just stuck with me all these years !

 

I sell and install them, just send cash, check, or money order (no pay Pal) and I will ship yours out today, for an extra $100 I'll send you a chrome plated Thorkle Rod.

 

Now that might be a hard one to figure out !

 

From the screen fairy...............

Nah, with over a dozen AD Chevy Trucks, Panels, 'Burbs I suppose the name fits.

Q (which stands for Quartermaster in the Bond series), is James Bond's godfather of gadgets.

My girlfriend said she liked her man (me) slim... go figure. Long as she&#8217;s happy!

 

Bad pronunciation of my last name over a shop intercom that would make the Dairy Queen Drive-Thru sound like digital surround sound. One of the guys that worked with me said it sounded like they were paging "Slide", so that's what everybody started calling me. That was in high school, and the nickname followed me from one job to the next...

 

Back when video games only took 3 letters for high scores (early 80's) I started using "JAX" for Jack's high score. Later when I first started these internet message board things it was for Willys Jeeps because I have a 1946 CJ2A and I signed in with JAX2A. Been using it on every board I've been on since.
