Rip Some Lip, a term I use to described hooking up on Speckled Trout, Red Fish & Flounder. Sometime I feel like saltwater runs through my veins.

[bigmaico]

Mine is from an incident year ago!

I race dirt bikes & way back in 1976 I was at the track practicing, when my friend little brother asked if he could ride my 440 Maico!

He was a 90lbs kid & I was 200lbs & I had a hard time hanging on to this very powerful motorcycle, I said that if you can start it you can ride it! Well the little kid had been watching me start the Maico & pulled in the compression release & fired the darn thing right up & took off!

His brother came in from the track & said where is my little brother? I pointed to the track & his little brother on the track with the Maico!

My friend looked at me & said are you NUTZ! he'lll get killed on that big Maico!

He was fine & every time he saw me at the track, He said can I ride the Big Maico!

The nick name just got transfered to me one day.

[NcongruNt]

T3hK1w1...I've always had a soft spot for kiwi birds, and I'm enough of a geek that I decided to do it in l33tsp33k. A bonus is that I have NEVER gotten a "this username is unavailable" notice when registering onto one of the many forums I frequent

Well, at least there's one other one! Granted, my handle doesn't count nearly as much in 1337|\|355 as yours, but same concept. "NcongruNt" is shortened from "incongruent". Some IRC networks have a handle length limitation of 9 characters.

[cmbrust]

Many moons ago, when I first needed a screen name (1994), I thought of a personlized license plate my husband wanted. My name is Cheryl, his name was Mike and our dog was Rusty. Hense - cmbrust

Funny how many people think my last name is Brust. Some times I just let them think they are right.

[MrsFosforos]

Mine is pretty simple -- I'm married to "Mr." Fosforos.

[mrbug]

I operate my own pest control business. I've had lots of folks over the years refer to me as "bugman". Age has its rank and now I am MrBug.

[dws1117]

I like the nickname. My wife has called our 5 year old son Mr. Bug or Bug man since he was born. He was very small, only 4lbs 15oz and at birth.
