You need to go back to :"Moon Mullins" after you get your M/A Bowling shirt. It would be perfect. Jim
Well... Here is a pic from the LA kick-off of MTTS this year: I've had the beard since my Jr year in HS.
Heh, sounds familiar. I use to work for ANS.NET the NSFnet spinoff and our motto still makes me smile. "WE SUCK LESS!" RIP AS1673
ApexSlide: Goes back to when I started Karting and my mates and I were talking about Canada corner at Road America. I was describing to someone how you drift the kart through the corner and hammer in through the apex of a corner creating an Apex Slide. It stuck.
papa-j Cause I like being a dad & last name starts with J. Started using the handle in 2001 on 2cpu.com forums.
One of my hobbies is amateur astronomy and when I get stupid questions from newbies, I would tell them, that is "far too technical to understand"(ftttu) so I took that and made it my e-mail address years ago. When I first logged onto MINIUSA's Owner's Lounge, I couldn't think of a handle so I used my e-mail address with the description of my MINI, a British Racing Green Clubman(brgcm). So it is "ftttubrgcm" on NAM but "ftttupwmcs" here because I now have a pepper white MINI Cooper S(pwmcs). This thread asked so I posted.
We have had a bunch of new folks join our ranks since this was last updated, so I am giving it a BUMP. Jim
OK then. I've used this handle online since the days of 2800 baud modems and the pre-internet. I got the name from a technical college back in the mid 80's that somehow misread my name on a form or something, and mangled Paul into Zapski on a letter they sent. The mangling of my last name wasn't anywhere near as bad though (which is odd, because it's routinely mangled every day). I told this to my friends, and they applied it as a nickname. So, umm.. yeah.
How on earth did they manage that? I can't get "Zapski" out of "Paul" no matter how hard I try. I hope their instruction was better then their spelling. :lol: Jim
Groden Glaive was the name of a Dungeons and Dragons character I had back in high school. This was before the PC existed (well almost). OK now I feel old.
chilicon actually has nothing to do with the fact that I have a chili red R53. It goes back to high school and is a play on my last name Carney. Thus, chili con Carney eventually became just chilicon.
I found an random-forum name generator and liked what it spit out. I like the play on words; regular guy, likes manual shifting.
