ok here goes me,,, bear with me on this one its actually from right out of high school. All my life i have been into running. Used to be a distance runner in the beginning of high school, then at the end became a sprinter in the 1/4 mile. By this time i was much bigger and was good enough to run two years of college track and field in the 1/4 mile, best time ever of 49.4 seconds. I guess you could say i was in a rare class, almost all the other 1/4 milers ont he team were black and one day after practice we were all just messing around when one of them referred to me as "whitebread" well, after this i was told that i was too fast to be whitebread and i must be whitetoast instead. And however weird that story is,,, it stuck to this day its just about every screan name i have. 11 is my favorite number cause its made up of two numbers ones,,, so that way i get to be number one twice instead of once The name just fit cause after thinking about it, i actually can't stand any other kind of bread, i've never been a wheat fan

~Toast ( who is very happy that he no longer has to run to be fast anymore )

it is very interesting to see how everyone got their name here, i've always wondered about odin's,,, and beleive it or not i've always wondered why if j15big really is big or not, or if nozebleaedspead gets nosebleads when he drives to fast or something, or if soap really likes to be clean, or if odin got his name from star treck, or if the pawn really likes to play chess, or if logan named himself after wolverine from x-men, or if intel 486 really does still run a 486, or if chickenears really does just have weird looking ears, or looks like the monkey guy in his sig, or the guy with the retarted monkey sig. very interesting to see the history behind it all. It seems everyone has a nickname they got from somewhere, wether they like it or not

Thumbs up Toast, it's great!

This is probably going to be the most read thread ever! I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and like you have wondered how others got their screen names.

I also try to put a face with a name and 99.9% of the time we're going to be wrong. It's just natural to wonder. I'm glad you posted this so we can all enjoy it. So far it's been great!

Come on Guys! Contribute whether you want to or not. I didn't want to but I DID. I dare you!! No, I double dare you!

Sister Mary Elizabeth is really interested in this thread, don't let her down!

my little brother was trying to think of a screen name for AOL instant messanger, and he wanted CrazyFoo. I like it, so being the mean older brother, I took it!

Big fan of 50's and 60's R&R, especially the Tex Rubinowitz song of the same name.

thulsadoom- villain from Conan books and the first movie. A sorcerous minion of Set, the snake god I believe. Coooooool, I like this thread.

I had guessed tallimeca also.

Chickenears.......I love that story. That's one of those instant smile memories there.

I worked at the Windsor Engine Plant on the launch of the 4.6/5.4/6.8L engines starting back in '94...now working on the launch of the new 3V engine program...spent 8 years working with modular engines so far, learned a ton of great information and got to help many customers all over the world (some happy, some not so happy!)...hence my screen name.

Well mine is pretty simple, HD for Harley Davidson and MLNIUM for Millennium or 2000. I bought a 2000 Harley Davidson and I put MLNIUM on the plate and a lot of people seem to like it. So when I bought My 2000 Lightning I decided to use MLNIUM for that plate as well. and It was a different screen name than some of the other's so I decided to use it here too. And I also wear some sort of Harley clothing most days.

Well mine isn't as interesting as some btu it does have a history, if not a boring one. My s/n is a study in evolution. It started at Pizza Hut when a girl started calling me "Pollywog". It then evolved into Paul E. Wog, which I put on my name tag and would you believe that some customers thought that was my real name and thought my parents were jerks. Well through the process of evolution and laziness it got shortened to "WOG". I started a new job and the people there had this thing with adding an "E" sound to the end of everyone's name, hence the new name "Woggie". I wonder what it will be next?
