Good point. I know I have deleted even more than I've written.... because I'll remember it's all just opinion!

When I read some of the user names, I sometimes wish that I'd used more imagination!:rolleyes:

I like yours. I'm actually not very "board" experienced. This is the first one that has really interested me. The Disney one I tried treated the ones that don't know all the trivial Disney stuff like we had no right to be there. I pop in on the Pilot board sometimes. :)

Inspector.... you didn't say why you have yours.....

Wardsweb, that's easy. Such a sound of authority.... you know.... like you actually KNOW what you're doing.....

My info is limited to what I can get my hands on & what the prince can answer for me. (well, a few hundred years around hondas...) I used to have to go actually hunt through the manuals in the garage! I love the computer age!!!!:banana:

It's sure hard to imagine life without one now, isn't it?

Inspector, That's pretty straight forward. I figured it was job related, just didn't know what you might be inspecting! And certainly didn't want to be guessing on that one!!:rolleyes:

Well. I was raised right here in NorCal, but I guess I'm not a Jimmy Buffet fan. Hopefully I'll be forgiven!!:blush:

I do remember pop tops! Does that count??? I made chains with them. Of course I did that with gum wrappers too. Kept me busy during all those hours chatting on the phone!:D

40's That would be nice!! It was 70 here yesterday its now 30 with wind chill of about 10 deg, Had snow flurries this AM... Ohio
weathers great. haha .
Princess, Your probably more like Jefferson Airplane, Doobie Bro's?
Parrot Heads are not quite like Dead Heads but similar following, sort of....
It's kinda cool when Buffet comes to Cincy, He always does at least a couple shows and gets good media coverage.....
I don't do concerts anymore except symphony or small club venue.
It's more fun to sit in my recliner and watch on wide screen in surround sound and if I get beer spilled on me it's my own fault!

It warmed up, finally! We're sitting in the low 50's now. That's all we're gettin' today. There's one of those artic blasts coming in from the north. Areas around us have been in the 20's at night. We've had BOTH fireplaces going at night until we hit the bed.

I've got an interest in most kinds of music. I've always been that way, never quite fit into any catagory. I liked what I heard on the "radio" site at the Margaritaville place. In fact I own some of it! Probably the only stuff I really don't like is the 'Dead. I could even find one of their songs to enjoy though.

I REALLY like Aerosmith!:D When I was a munchkin my brother was a teen during the Elvis & Rightous Brothers age. He also liked the Beach Boys. Now he's a country fan. I grew up in the Monkees phase, so you can understand the need to look for something else to listen to!!:rolleyes: It just has always depended on the mood.....

I've never been to a concert! We have some places very close that have had the BIG names, I've just never been interested in going. Like you, I prefer to either just hear them or watch in the comforts of my own home.

Summertime at 105 degrees, with a strawberry daquiri, floating in the pool with music streaming in the air....

Ok, it's only the begining of the chilly weather & I'm already dreaming of Summer! I still have a couple of months to get through before I can thaw out!!:bawling:

it was in the upper 70s here, then today its like a smack in the face, 30s with the wind chill. Buffet rules, his music is so relaxing. When he comes to town he sells out in 45 minutes.

My engine's cooling system is too efficient :) In the morning, I get the car warmed up right before this one long hill where I can put it into neutral and cruise all the way down . As you know, in CA it's been cold recently so I've had the heat full blast. Going down this hill at 35MPH, I can get the engine to go from fully warm to back to the C mark. Cool eh? haha

My wife actually came up with my name a ways back. At the time I had a 99 Cobra.

My wife thought about it and came up with "Coil99" - "coil" for what cobras do and "99" for the year. I've used the name ever since. :)

mine's my confirmation name from back in 8th grade when i used to go to church... we had to pick a saint's name and of course i had ot search and search for one i liked and who wasn't popular with everyone else! (for non-catholics, the confirmationt hing probably makes no sense! it's basically a second middle name. :D )

but it's nice because i can usually use this name without adding numbers or anything! back in college i used "aqua" for awhile because i love blue/green colors, but that became a hard name to get when i signed up for new things on the net!

even anysia has been taken on some sites, so i now use "anysiaccord"! :jumping:

i could have swore that i have responded to this already.

when i was 24 (6 years ago) i came up with a email address at yahoo. instead of using my name i thought of my favorite looney toon, Yosemite Sam. My favorite Yosemite Sam cartoon is when he chases BB up the high dive and gets tricked in to jumping off many times. at the begining of the cartoon, he comes in hootin and a hollarin that he wants to see Fearlessfreap. to this day I am still not sure if he said that.

OK, it wasn't original.....I bet it's been heard a bizzillion times..... I just couldn't resist!:D

I get the same complaint when I decide to do "something" with the garage! He's great at putting away most things out there.... but non-tool stuff seems to collect on top of the toolbox & bench....

He has these nifty holders for all the sockets & yet all the 14 mm aren't ever put away!:( So I do it.... then he can't find them!

Of course, one of my greatest pleasures in life is to drive him CRAZY!! I do it well!:rolleyes:

Mine was, ah, the lack of original thinking, combined with the first thing that popped into my head.

I used to use 'Max Power' on another board, because of the classic (to me) Simpsons episode where Homer had his name changed to that.

Homer: There are three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way!
Bart: Isn't that just the wrong way?
Homer: Yeah, but faster!

For some reason I've never been into the whole internet anonimity thing with nicknames, screennames etc :) so I just use my name :) Luckily it's rare enough in the english speaking world so it's often not taken by anyone on a partucular forum. If it is I throw in a couple of letters from my last name at the end, that's about it :)

Bowzer

05-30-2008, 08:41 AM

Interesting little thread here...

Mine came from a cat I had for years. Bowzer was anointed as such because I found him in the woods at about 4 weeks old just yelling and yelling. I picked him up and he was all big mouth and claws...partially wild...on his last day from the looks of him. Sadly we lost him this year at about 12 years of age...so now the name means even more. I've used his name for sigs for about that long now.

reframmellator

05-30-2008, 10:04 AM

"Reframmellate" is my favorite term for BS that is completely made-up, yet sounds convincingly technical and official. Comes from the old F Troop television series, which probably means absolutely nothing to many of you in this forum. Another indication of how our educational system is neglecting to teach essential and highly evolved American culture. Those of you who DO remember F Troop will no doubt agree with this assessment.

So, to set the stage, F Troop is a comedy set around a bumbling US Army captain assigned to Fort Courage after old Civil War; his scamming, conniving noncoms; his inept troops (an extremely nearsighted scout, for example, and a bugler with impossibly thick lips), and the equally scamming and conniving Hakowi Indians (as Precolonial oppressed indigenous peoples were called in those days; and as in "We're the Hakowi") Hilarity ensues. In one scene that stuck with me because I was at an impressionable age, the noncoms are trying to get some money out of the captain for one of their schemes by telling him the cannon on site are badly in need of repair:

"And we're going to have to reframmellate the barrels," the noncoms tell the captain in a sincere, serious tone.

"Uh huh, uh huh," the captain replies, looking totally confused but trying to act knowledgeable about the whole thing.

It's not unlike someone who can't put gas in his car going to an unscrupulous repair place and getting ripped off: "You really should reline your heater ducts. It's not cheap, but if you don't do it now. . . "

"Uh huh, uh huh. . . ."

Closely related: Google "Rush Limbaugh disgronificator"

DISCLAIMER: Any correlation between the roots of my name and the quality of my contributions to this forum are purely coincidental. And I'm sticking to that story.

Calamity Coyote:

Several years ago when I was in the car audio business, everyone was using nicknames based on Looney Toons characters. The most famous one being used of course was Taz. Our group decided to base ours on the Tiny Toons characters. I've always been the creative one building all the crazy boxes and coming up with ideas that most would not have thought of. Since the Coyote was the one that always used the gadgets in creative ways to try and catch the Road Runner, it only seemed obvious that he would represent me the best. The name has stuck with ever since.

LeadfootGSR: Back in '99 I had an Integra GSR and decided to switch my IM from whatever it was back in High School. Since I was obessed with my car at that time, I decided make it part of my name.....and well, "Leadfoot" due to my constant driving on the interstate and having a problem keeping my speed under 90.

I've considered changing name based on the car I own at the time (LeadfootS2K or LeadfootEX-L), but I'm just too lazy.
