Stevie Ray
by ssravp - 1/2/08 8:22 AM In reply to: What does your forum handle mean? by robstakssravp. It was original SsRaVp but I got tired of using the caps lock. The capital letters are Stevie Ray Vaughn's initials, one of my musical idols, and the lower case letters are my initials.
Good thread!
by navsimpson - 1/2/08 1:40 PM In reply to: What does your forum handle mean? by robstakWhen I worked at a computer store as a young'un, there was a tight-knit bunch of kids who worked there. When it got bought out and shut down, we all rushed on to MSN to keep in touch. Since my name is Nav and I liked the Simpsons waaay too much, I thought... navsimpson. Sorta' hate it now but it stuck.
The Dirty Pirate Story
by Dirty Pirate - 1/2/08 10:50 PM In reply to: What does your forum handle mean? by robstakI actually came by ny nickname/handle recently about 6 years ago. But I was only known as “The Pirate”. When I was working on the boats. All you ever saw me wearing was flip-flops, shorts and a bandanna. And when on the boats I was running around barefoot. So with
the goatee and the bald head people said I looked like a pirate and kept calling me that.
The “Dirty” Pirate happened because of one dive.
When I was working in Thailand, I was on a wreck inspecting it. While I was under another ship had gone by and illegally dumped it’s bilges. There was a lot of heavy crude in that dump. When I surfaced, I surface right in the middle of it and I was covered completely in bulk oil.
Anyways, it nearly destroyed my equipment and I had to wait till we got back to port later in the day to clean it all up. And me as well.
The girls working in the bar next to out office saw me and started laughing calling me “The Dirty Pirate”. It stuck and everyone in the office kept calling me that. My little wooden cup that they keep my bar bills in even got tagged Dirty Pirate.
So I continue to use the nick. I figure I earned it.
Here is a photo of me, in not a good looking pose.

by ceruleanlobster - 1/3/08 9:22 AM In reply to: What does your forum handle mean? by robstakIt was circa 1995...I was new to the 'net...Sandra Bullock had just had her first encounter with it...it was new to me, different. I'd experimented here and there--an X-Files forum, and...well, that was pretty much it. The online name I had for the X-Files forum was, let's just say it here: lame. Also, it turned out to be already taken on Yahoo. So, one day while housesitting with my best friend, I decided to use the homeowner's computer and truly take the plunge. By the time I got around to making a Yahoo mail account, it was late at night and my friend and I were drunk. After 20 or so minutes of me panicking, desperately trying to think of something cool, something recognizable, something definable that would represent "me" for all eternity, my friend got sick of my hemming and hawing and finally just screamed "Just think of something! Anything!" So I spit out the first thing that entered my head, possibly the most undefinable thing I could: ceruleanlobster.
24 hours later I had a Yahoo account and a spiffin' Geocities webpage. It was just one page--my icon was a picture of Audrey Hepburn. I think I was in the Area 51 section--if I wasn't there, I certainly tried to be.
Indy Racing League
by indy1333 - 1/3/08 11:14 AM In reply to: What does your forum handle mean? by robstakI was ten and having a very hard time choosing a username for lego.com. I used to be <u>really</u> into car racing, so indy came from the Indy Racing League. The 13th is my birthday, but I think indy13 was already taken, so I just slapped a couple more 3's on the end and presto! username that I use for everything since I don't take the time to think up something cooler.
</boring story>

by ChrisTCC2 - 1/3/08 4:09 PM In reply to: What does your forum handle mean? by robstakChrisTCC means Chris Talk City Chat
In 1997/1998 there was an online irc chat company called Talk City, and the moderators/room hosts would have TCC at the end of their nics so you knew who they were in the rooms.
