I'm like everyone else, it just stuck. When I was setting up my first email account (yeah whenever that was) everything I could think up was not available. Since I had been driving nothing but Blue Oval products and all of my parts were of the same...that's when Mr Ford Dude was created....
I am what my screen name is. Our clan goes back to 348AD so why not. The sig is just there for entertainment. If I sign my name on an open post it might be because someone pissed me off or called me out, or because of something sincere like a sick or lost loved one. I think "fuckin prick" was taken when I signed on...

Simple, I'm Welsh, I live in Wales so what could be simpler "Cymro" - Welshman in my native language.
I've thought about this lately and possibly changing it and stepping up to the plate and getting an alliance membership. My name comes from my sportbike days from other message boards. YAMAHA R1, customized as a streetfighter. For those have meet me know I'm not a hot head, though if you throw jamison in the mix... All bets are off! Opinions are like assholes but first impressions are important even if it's on a message board.
I always use the name my folks gave me....never thought a major car company would think it so cool that they would place it on one of their vehicles. Still waiting for the royalty checks to arrive!
I used to write many years ago and the tag got stuck w/ me. I never was good tough. Its bonez cause imma skinny dude. I wanna be called Nick in real life still. always been this way.
My initials are FAB and I've had/got 8 origional '32 Fords plus one fake Brookville..................so that's the 32 part. Frank
I make Thorkle Rods, If you need a new one Please send $100 cash and I can make the one you need and ship it to you free the same day .
I am a analog guy living in a digital age, so when I joined my first chat room sponsored by the car club of which I was a founding member of (1976) I used Oldguard as a reference to that as we have had over a hundred members thru the years, and quite a few here on the HAMB. http://www.streetkingsokla.com/HISTORY_1.html This was the second web site I joined and like most I continued to use the same screen name but now years later as I have learned of this amazing digital age I would rethink my screen name. I have seen several change thiers here, your reasons for that I ask? And while on the subject, if one did want to change thier screen name, is it some ritual while a certain moon is up and involves candles and blood letting or such?? Just asking...
The Big Nick name started years ago on an OT board as I was just making fun of my buddy for using Big Mike. But honestly my real name is Nick and I have been called or described as Big Nick (not by the ladys!), so there you have it.
Well as of today 14 trucks and an occasional 12 oz. liquid pain killer.......... Little more descriptive of myself than simply Brent.
So you got two goof ball brothers and a bushy black mustach? I very seldom use my name or nick name because I may need to get a job someday. Benno

I've used Mr. Jean on all the different sites/forums that I'm on. I've had many different race cars/cars/trucks/toys and am still changing toys often now, so never thought of using that type of screen name. I've been called Mr. Jean for many years now, so no need to ever change it. It (Mr. Jean) started with my business cards maybe 30 years ago. The spelling of it being JEAN, not GENE had people asking to see or speak to HER. So the Mr. was put on all cards from then on. I find it hard to keep track of everyone, when they use different names on different sites. Not sure who they are, unless they sign their name at the bottom. I have mine at the bottom too.
Holliwood has been my nickname since about 2000. Everyone calls me that, so that's what I went with. Hell, my own stepdaughter was introduced to me as "Holliwood" almost 6 yrs ago, and to this day, I can't get her to call me by my real name! Just imagine what her teachers think when she tells them "That's my Holliwood"
I was actually thinking about this last week - met a few 'hambers' at a show - 'Hi, I'm rustyratrod327 on the hamb, just call me bill' or 'Hey, I'm 'onebigbadflatty' from the hamb, my name's bob' And I'm like - hey, I'm Gator - just call me Gator. Got the nickname 'Gator' about 20 years ago, during my first day as a firefighter. One crusty old paramedic said "Hey, who's the new guy?" My new Captain said "His name is Bubba Smith, but we call him Gator." My name is not Bubba Smith, and no one in my whole life ever called me 'Gator' before that day, but it stuck. Most everyone who's met me the last 20 years only knows me as Gator. I do have one neighbor who flat out refuses to call me that, said nicknames were 'juvenile'
In the military a mustang is a guy who goes from enlisted to officer. Six is the usual designation for the unit commander and his vehicle. and I own a six cylinder Mustang. Kind of all fit my personal history.
