Deanriffs

I play guitar; therefore, I riff.

SundayDriver

Now that is an understatement. There is a reason that car carries #1.

My name comes from the fact that I do most of my fun driving on Sunday and stole the name from Brock Yates and his book by the same name - a cute play on words.

Slow Guy

993 - self explanatory
BillW - first name Bill, last name starts w/ W but I use the Bill W. as a play on the "friends of Bill W." thing.

Good thread!
I got mine subscribing to Diablo 2 online. No, I'm not 13, and yes, you should try computer games or Playstation 2 or X Box 360! You can stay with simulations and learn to fly, fight in a war, fly fighter jets, apache helicopters...........or be a mage or a knight.
I have a lousy memory for passwords, so I try themes. Lord of the Rings is an easy one, so I tried the usual: Gandalf and combinations like "the white" (all taken), tried Aragorn as I didn' t fancy a puny name like Frodo. All taken. So I tried Orc. Taken of course! Then, given I live in Chile, I added "fromthesouth". Bingo!
So as these forums got bigger, I started to join a few, using Orcfromthesouth or Orc for short.

Later in life I figured avatars, and stole mine from the Warcraft game. I'm proud of mine.

Imracerx

Speed Racer (Racer X is his car)! I thought it was funny.

Mark in Baltimore

Pssst, the Mach 5 is his car. Racer X is Speed's long-lost brother, Rex Racer. Racer X's car is called the Shooting Star. It's a cool user name, anyway.

Like much of Racer X's life, there is much mystery...

FGL28

I love this thread. FGL Stands for Fan Gwailow a Cantonese slur that means Evil Foreign Devil. It was given to me by a borrower I was working with at a bank. He was constantly trying to get the advantage of the bank and I countered his every move. One day, out of frustration he called me that. I told him I knew what he said, and told him. Things went well after that. The 28 is a lucky number and my anniversary 2/8.

John,

That's a hilarious handle. Being born and raised in Hong Kong, I can see how this came about. FGL will stay with me for a while now.

pretty simple: cabfan=cabernet sauvignon lover + 1968=my own vintage...

Did anyone notice that some people's user names are not what you would have expected them to mean?

For instance - Berkeley: I thought that maybe you just went to school at UC Berkeley and it was your alma mater.

Your background on that oft repeated family name is fascinating and I will always think of it now when I read your user name.

This goes for many of your usernames. Some of your explanations are hilarious, interesting, and ironic.

911

No explanation should be needed with mine! I was lucky enough to grab "911" very early on. It's been my user name on several other forums, as well.
