Usernames--What made you pick yours?

[Shotgun 1]

Wow, that's an amazing story, Dumpster. Sexually dyslexic, huh? Does that mean her favorite position was 96?

My username is an old nickname from my teenage years, though nobody really calls me that anymore... except for my big sister who sometimes calls and sings "White Wedding" to me on my answering machine... "Hey little sister, shotgun... It's a nice day to start again... It's a nice day for a white wedding..."

[popsjumper 2]

I picked my own...

I'm an old fart and I am quite proud of myself for having the guts to jump in the first place. Plus, I organized and participated in, a POPS state record jump while still a newbie.

Also, since skydiving is getting younger by the year, I wanted to make a statement in support of us old guys.

Now what was that about bold skydivers and old skydivers....?

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Sporto gave me the name after i did one too many sit flies with my legs crossed like an Indian style sit.( for entertainment )
The real name ( famous American Indian.) is spelled Cochiese ?cochiece ? I don't know. But since my jokes are cheesy..... Cocheese
I have more nick names than anyone i know. Is it so hard to say Jeff ? They would rather add a lot more syllables than say Jeff.
The Latest one is "The Manatee" . Don't ask . I have no idea. But it stuck and they like it. Guess it's better than Goat Boy. Ha.
Poor Goat Boy.

I tend to take delight in causing trouble wherever possible and aggrevating those who I think deserve the trouble - hence the username.

I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

Gee no idea... no idea at all..

Okay, that made me laugh. . .at 5:30 in the morning that is not easy. . .

Okay, so I was sitting at the computer trying to think of something clever for a username that had to do with the feeling I had after my first AFF jump. . .I wanted to be skyhigh. . .but that was taken, as was skyhi. . .so I combined my love of vodka with the love of the sky. . .skyyhi. . .(though I don't much care for skyy vodka. . .it just fit). Silly I suppose but it fits me if you know me. . .lol

When I was a very small child I was abandoned in an alley way, and took refuge in a steel trash bin. I was taken in by a family of New York sewer rats and an Afgan wolf hound gone wild. After a while I was discovered by a sexually dyslexic Manhatten sanitation worker on an "urban safari". She fancied herself some sort of "explorer of the explored". (Go figure - This is NYC after all-)

After being run through what we laughingly call "the system" I was eventually placed in the foster care of a large family with chronic explosive diarhrea, where I was forced to sleep in the bathtub and eat table scraps. To this day I have no idea what nationality they were, but Sundays always included some uncle bringing a large slab of meat over then drinking gin and handing out huge amounts of change to the kids. He insisted I needed to eat the meat raw, since that was the way I was raised.

They would charge admission for people to see "The Amamzing Dumpster Boy" after my story appeared in all the NY tabloids. At school I was reffered to as "That dumpster kid" and later it was just shortened to "dumpster".

rofl lol excellent story!!

Mine came from my love of waking up with the rising of the sun. And singing to everyone else in the morning to wake them up too.

[Remster 30]

Remi was already taken when I wanted to change my username from remiandkaren, so I took remster which is a nickname just a couple of people were using at the time at work and back in uni.

[FlyingJ 0]

One summer in college we drove between Cincinnati and North Carolina a pile of times, and I always insisted on stopping at the Flying J Travel Plaza to get gas and eat. All my life people have shortened my name to just J, and for some reason I thought that place was the coolest!

Nobody ever called me Flying J, but they joked about it a lot so when I logged on here I thought it would be somewhat fitting.

[pilotdave 0]

I got "named" by rhuurrr in THIS thread. He referred to me as "pilotdave from rec.skydiving." I never actually called myself that. My email address was pilotdave@email.com, although I only used it for rec.skydiving to prevent getting tons of spam at my real email address. (email.com later started charging so I lost the address). Since people had started calling me pilotdave, I figured it would be a good idea to register with that name. Now people call me that in real life and it kinda freaks me out.

[SuperKat 0]

My username is given to me by everyone since grade school till now. They couldn't and still can't pronounce my last name: Supangkat. Therefore, people call me Superkat. It used to piss me off but I got used to it and I stopped correcting people. I've been called SuperPancake and Spluh-dunka Soup in a cat and even Sputnik. I take less offense to Superkat, the lesser of 10 evils

What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo?

[craichead 0]

Oh...I'll just post the same reply that I posted in this thread:

"craic" is the Irish word for fun and good times. It's pronounced "crack." One of my friends used to call me a "crackhead" because I was so weird and fun. Since I'm not weird and fun because I take crack (or any other drug besides booze), I changed it to "craic"head!

And no, I'm not Irish. Not anywhere near it, in fact. I'm Thai American--both of my parents are Thai, they came to the US in 1968. I was born in Kansas, raised in Tennessee, I live in Chicago, and I'm married to a Canadian! How messed up is that?

I used to work with a guy named Sridhar. One of the guys had a slight hearing problem and kept pronouncing it as "sweetheart". It made for some interesting conversations in restaurants.
"Sweetheart, what are you having?"

[hookitt 1]

I lived in the mountains near a beautiful lake. Every day I was up at 5:00 am to catch me a trout or 2.



Where was I? oh yeah, on a cool spring moring a plane full a kids was flyin over the lake, and buzzin the heck out of the other fisherman in there pontoon air craft. Well that was starting to bug me and little did they know, that in my previous occupation, and the reason I was in hiding up at the beautiful mountain lake, I was a ninja. I always carry my ninja kit kit with me so I reaches into the kit bag and take out my trusty grappling hook and tossed the rope (it's a really long rope) over to the shore where Ben... another fisherman, tied it off to a tree.

Well, those little buggers kept a buzzin me over and over so I swung that grappling hook round and round and waited for those meddling kids to buzz me again and with all my might the grappling hook was launched into the air into the path of the pontoon struts. All along the shore you could hear the folks screamin HOOK IT!!! (one guy stuttered a little and yelled HOOKITT!!!

So the name came from being a fisherman, and tellin tall tales.

My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
