people have some crazy ass nicknames around here, let's take a moment to share.

I'll go first...

Silverchild79:

79 was actually the year I was born. when I was stationed in the UK I hung out allot with this group of guys who used to freestyle all the time. They all had names and I was constantly trying to think up one for myself. I never could think of anything useful till one day at a party some extremely drunk guy called me "Silver". Add child cause I'm a baby face and there you have it

*PUNT* your turn!
 
guess he meant SN...
I had a B16, I raced with it, and I tuned it. Hence, B16RacerN2NR. N2NR = and tuner.

I think he means your screenname..

as for me, Senate is an inline skating brand that makes clothing, accessories, wheels, etc. I used to be really into inline, so i used that as my name for my email. "9427" was the last 4 digits of my old cell phone. When i registered on here, i thought i was just gonna come on here a few times for some info, so i needed a name i could remember, and well, that didn't happen.

It was one of the many nicknames i had where i used to work.
 
i'm pissed off.
i had a sol.

nuff said :p

there's a real story behind the name though. $5 to anyone who remembers it.
 
mine would be from my habit of taking things that should have gone to the junk yard and brining them back to life
 
Senior year went to a high school dance got the picture's back and they spelt my last name as Vost instead of Yost so my buddy Meeko "new to HS' yelled out the name "Vosty" make an oh sound not ah btw "Vohsty", and yelled it like scorpion yells "Toasty" in mortal kombat and the name stuck...

Chestercheeto48

Chester - this name came from frat cabin party where me and the gang were hanging out around a campfire drinking beer. About my 4th pitcher of beer more buddies showed up, one carrying a family sized bag of cheetos so I ate them....ALL. More drinking ensued, leads to powerful projectile vomit, orange in color. Now you are starting to under stand.

Drinking -> Cheetos -> puking -> next morning being called -Chester the cheetah -> shortened to Chester.

Chestercheeto48 was the hotmail name that was spit out.
 
Old AIM conversations....


As for me:
I like working wood haha.

has it always been "bob vila"? i thought it was something else a long ass time ago.

mine came from an email address. pretty simple. if you wanted to email me it was just how to "get nick at hotmail." yeah, it's lame, but it was something i could remember. i'm not the brightest crayon in the box.
 
^yeah, it's in his Sig, he used to use SiSteve and before he had Bob Vila he was Oscar Mayer... Why the fuck do I remember this shit?! fuck you HondaSwap for taking over my life!!!!!!:D

I've had an online Alias since I was 6. that was .. 1982.

Started off as a Password / Name confusion. My handle was supposed to be "Zaphoid" (Robotic / Zaphod Beeblebrox), but my password was "Streak". My name became "Streak" by accident and I accepted that just fine.

Then came "Liquid Plejades" from a Tangerine Song. Then quickly came "pHaedra" (Another TD song, but "Phaedra" is a poem by Ovid as well. I chose "pH" out of a typo"). "pHaedra" was a great name, but a female name and I got cybered all the goddam time.

"Celerity/Alacrity" were my IRC names (Where I had to change it because of everyone trying to cyber with me ). They both mean the same thing: With a swiftness. Celerity makes perfect sense given my personality.

And there you have it. I do get called "Cel" many times in real life.
 
umm.. well
my car is an EG6 in Japan and it has an SiR motor.. nuff said

and i have the nickname c-lint that my friends call me, pronounced cEElint.. it started at a restraunt i worked at in La Jolla, CA.. the bartender started calling me c-lint like i was a rapper or somethin.. ahhaha..and it just stuck.. now my cousins call me that too..

i was 99% sure, but i didn't want to look like an asshat. plus i wasn't paying attention to his sig, who really does? hondaswap got me sucked in to.
 
I had a crx, and the license plate is yem, now "YEM" is the title of one of my favorite songs from a band I listened to in the 90's and followed/toured from 95-2004
 
Trying to come up with a name for myself for the DWANGO gaming BBS in 1996:

Me: What should my name be?
Friend: How about, The Dark Hand?
Me: ...Cool!
