Mine is a that I tend to be more comfortable in the water than on land and especially diving, thus the Deep Sea - Changing the Sea to C is a play since my last name is Carlson and with a name like Carlson you can probably guess my nationality.
 
What a cool thread! Bobcats are common in the mountains around here and I fancy my self lithe and catlike....although I am really a 60 year old grandmother:crazy: with a knife fetish!
 
:muahaha:Mine is totally original. I was making a new account for World of Warcraft and every thing I could think of came up as being used. I ended up making up crothcipt not sure the thinking anymore. I have since changed the account name, I have a you tube account and other accounts with the same name.:idea:

Crap now I have to change all my account names.:bat:
 
I got the nickname Taz in High School. I did the Hammer Throw in Track and Field and spun very quickly, sometimes too quickly!! At the State Open, there was a little kids watching the events. After I threw, he says to someone else "He spins like Taz!" Of course it was on one of the throws where I spun a little too fast and the hammer cleared the safety cage about 45 degrees from where it should have gone. Everyone who heard it started laughing and the name stuck. Plus the fact that I talk quickly and people have a hard time understanding what I am saying (I got "most words per minute" in High School) and sometimes I have a huge appetite (box of hamburger helper with half bag of frozen veggies, 1# hamburg is dinner, followed up with a Pint of Ben and Jerrys) and the name fits pretty well. The 575 comes from when I threw 57'5" in the 25# weigh throw my Senior year in High School when I took 12th at the National Championships.

I am Taz575 on most forums (usually knives, guns or fishing), with one Taz and a Tim J thrown in there, both other knife forums :)
 
I gave my wife an English Bulldog puppy not long after we married. She named him Bacchus. She loved that dog.
When he was seven, he ran off......chasing some bitches. He was gone for six months. She missed him dearly. Then my wife found him and he was returned to us. The first thing she did was have him castrated.
It made an impression on both the dog and me!
He died at thirteen, quite old for a bulldog.
 
Chifunda: name of the tribal chieftain of a region on the Luangwa river in Zambia. We were hunting in the area and he invited us to visit him in his "castle" as a courtesy.

He was quite an elderly old gentleman and still spoke Fanagalo, a trade language developed to allow the various tribes working the mines in southern Africa to communicate with one another. Analogous, I suppose, to Swahili in East Africa.

His name stuck in my head and I must say, I've never tried to register on a forum and been told that user name was already taken. :happymug:
 
Very cool thread! Mine came from my 69' Corvette - big block, convertible, side pipes, classic.
 
I love ponies, kittens, unicorns and Justin Beiber.
 
My name is simple, before becoming obsessed with cooking and Japanese kitchen cutlery I was deep into the audiophile world, hence the name stereo.pete.

I have an English Bulldog. She's 12 now, quite old for a bulldog. Little to no health problems, but when she snores......she shakes the foundation of my house!!! And the farts.............chemical warfare! Did I mention she weighs in at 72lbs. A beast.

Congrats on your bulldog. They are great pets.
Send me a pic of her please. I'd love to see her.
"silent but deadly" are the farts, for sure.
 
For those who have forgotten or didn't care and recent arrivals:

Most places I'm Saltydog. Even in real life a lot of people refer to me as Salty. It stems from a T-shirt I wore on a hot summer night working the line. I was wearing a shirt with a pegged leg pirate dog on it. (Exactly my style) At the end of the night my black shirt had mutiple salt rings on it. Some suggested that the "sea dog" should be "Saltydog". It stuck. (And it fits my demeaner)

My gaming name has been "FNG Idiotking" since 2002. I'm Idiotking on KF because Saltydog was taken.

That comes from a sign my wife gave me to hang in the kitchen. It read: "All men are idiots and my husband is the king"

How true.

Ever since seeing that on a bumper sticker back in the '80's and I've been telling people that's what my wife says about me.

I hope you like women's shape being obtuse and not their personality.


I like my women like I like my coffee.... :coffeelots:


Full of Booze. :coffeelove:
 
Me and a couple of friends started an internet firm during my university studies in Oslo (long gone now...). At the time there was a cartoon animation series called Ren & Stimpy that we were watching all the time, and one of the characters was Captain Ren Höek. When we set up the servers for the business we decided to use use the höek name, but had to modify it to contain american characters only. The servers were named after the colour of the chassis and thus were named RedHoek, BlackHoek, WhiteHoek and BlueHoek. I was in charge of a dark grey firewall server that was called DarkHoek, and I thought the name was so connected to my life in cyberspace that I tend to use it as my standard callsign out there. What characters are capitals and not are pretty much random.

For me the word shinobi was given to me by a friend. We were both studying ninjutsu and out of that he started called me shinobi. Well one day I signed up for a forum many moons ago and decided to use that as a screen name. I have been using variations of it now for some time, I've settled with the 1 at the end because that's what I use for xbox live and other video games (although I haven't played much these past months).

Besides being a chef I'm a recording artist on the side. While in college we used to do a lot of shows at bars, house parties, clubs, venues what have you. I would always rhyme about ancient aliens, origami samaurai, nephillium, robotic overloards and the impending doom of the apocalypse etc. Some body who went after me started with something like "Hey yo, Rick's got theories...." Then it just morphed into "Hey yo it's Rick Theory..." So that's what I became known as, Rick Theory.

I alternate the caps cause it just pops out at your eye. What I find interesting is that when forumites mention me or speak to me they too alternate the caps lol

BTW I have a lot of crazy songs if you guys ever want to hear them. :D

That reminds me of the band "The Aquabats"...3rd wave Ska band out of Florida. One of my favorites.

Love this, I would totally have done this if I didn't have a nick well before I started naming servers. Now I name all of my servers after songs by the Okinawan Folk band "Shoukichi Kina"...the lead singer, Kina, was elected to the Japanese parliament a while back.

I was born to a 16yo unwed mother...who died in a car accident when I was 5. I was lucky enough to be adopted by one of her boyfriends immediately, but was given a new last name. I use my birth name, Zwiefel, as a nick on pretty much everything calling for a nick. I've been quite surprised to see how often it's already taken though...I think it's a fairly common surname in Germany. Also, quite fittingly, it means, "doubtful" in English.
 
First initial, middle initial, and last name. 13 because that's what was available when I singed up for yahoo chat in like '95 and have used it online on forums and such since. Nothing special, lol. It's the only name I use on all the different food ad cycling forums I belong to
 
Altho I'm not a pro chef, just hack away here at home, my name popped in my head while signing up here. Being a "bug boned" guy, seemed appropriate :)
 
I went to catholic school and in my 3rd grade class there were nine Michaels and I was "Michael #9"
 
I used to play house, drum n bass, and breaks sets- but on live drums, booked as a dj. It was basically an hour-long drum solo dance-music style, I had the biggest drumkit then that I've ever played so I could make all these crazy sounds and make it sound more like techno. Nobody was doing anything like it at the time (1995-6-7), & I got booked for a lot of shows at clubs and raves, even though it was kindof because of the novelty. Superfun but really hard when the DJ before me says, "this is at 130 beats per minute, match it." My stage name was DrumJockey (D & J are capitalized... ok you guys all probable already saw that.)
 
it was the sound i made when house shopping. every open house i visited; if the house looked like it was time warped from the 70's..i would enthusiastically go, "boom, chaka bow wow"..

i got my wife and real estate agent infected and had them doing it too.

(works when telling porn jokes too :D)
