Default What does your avatar handle mean?

Crotalus atrox:
western diamondback rattlesnake.

Always been a fan of rattlers since I was kid. Now days if I see em on the highway I'll pull over and scare em back into the brush.

That I was too lazy / un-creative to come up with something more interesting.

Any chance anyone knows if it's possible to change a handle after the fact?

I live in Kansas City. I'm an attorney.

Mine started out as an ebay name back in the 1990's. I would like to change it now. I think something like "housefly" would be appropriate.

morgan ab owens was one of my favorite charactors in a book I read many years ago (Cry God for Harry). It's about Henry V of England. Morgan was the illegitimate daughter of Owen the Tudor King and mistress of Henry V The two guys in my avatar are Pedro and Ricardo Rodriguez, Mexican race drivers (Both raced F1). Ricardo was the youngest (19 years old) ever to start a F1 race on the front row

It was 1982, my sophomore year in college. I very seldom slept in my own room. My dorm mates would ask me where were you last night and I would say, I crashed over at so and so's dorm and at that they started calling me Crash.

Back when I used to ride, at the time I had a Kawasaki ZX9R, & had joined my first Forum.
My first name is Cam.
I kept the name ever since.

D is my first intial, porto is an abbreviation of my long and difficult (for some) to pronounce last name... I've gone by DP in some forums, but that's got other connotations...

I'm a l33t haxx0r with a reasonably fast German car, so I chose that for my license plate.

Ever wondered how many people would understand a l33t-speak German license plate? Maybe 5 over the past 6 years...f**king philistine bourgeois only speak "American," it turns out...
