Whats in the name

[crazyjr]

I have been wanting to do this thread for a while, as the name implies, I'm interested in how your usernames came to be.

I'll start. My name came to me by family, namely my dad. He was into CB radios in the 70's, his handle (same as user name) was crazy larry, With his passing last year, I wanted to carry the handle he had, but there can't be two crazy larry's, since i am his JR i chose crazyjr as a continuation of the name he started and my way of honoring him in a special way.

That IS a kick-butt song - pretty much the whole album rocks. :)

Anyway, my "handle" is pretty basic simply because I noticed after a while any name I came up with sounded dumb. So, I stick with simple...

[Dafni]

All my friends call me Dafni or Daf. (pronounced Duffny of Duff) Only my mother and my boss and some other people call me Daniel, for friends it's Daf. Don't ask me how it started, stuck to me ever since. For as long as I can remember they call me Dafni.

[JOHNNYMAXXIMA]

My name is John and I used to have a Nissan Maxima so this friend of mine used to call me Johnnymaxima when I bought it. Then I got into R/C and bought 3 Traxxas Maxx trucks (2 E's & 1 T) so I added another x in maxxima.

I often thought about starting this thread too crazyjr. There are some user names that I have been curious about.

Mine's a simple 'un too. First name.

Brian and Cem - Forget Pantera, bring on some Black Metal! :)

[HotnCold]

I happen to own a Heating and Air Conditoning Company. Hence the hot(heat) and cold (A/C).

Sorry to hear about your Dad, Crazy. those kinds of losses are hard to deal with, and avoiding them is impossible, which makes the frustration even bigger.

Cool topic though.

My initial forum name (and email name) was Buikpijn, which means pain in the stomach.. typical for me, because a combination of illnesses caused me pain in the stomach when i was an infant.. after an appendix operation the doctors discovered an unidentified fabric, growing from my spinal cord to my bellybutton, which they didn't dare to remove because of possible vital organs.

Quite some people asked me what my pain was about considering that user-name. the die hard nitro fans thought it was because i converted my savage to brushless. After the 500th email I took the antidote, The serum..

I guess we are just "old school". :) I can't speak for Cemetary Gates, but I am 33 yrs old and that band (among many others) was at its height in my heyday.

[coolhandcountry]

I used to drive truck and got the handle country. I tried to long on different places with that name and every one wanted it to. I took a movie guys name coolhand luke and changed it.

Can any one guess how mike got rc-monster mike :D
