[Lugnut]

Was a gearhead in highschool, and all the "car guys" had nicknames. I was the shortest and youngest, and so somehow started getting called lugnut. Didn't like it at first, but hey, without lugnuts, your wheels fall off....

Car guys and guns is just the natural order, you still get to tinker but don't get as messy!

ZyloX has been my on line pseudonym since AOL and 56k modems were state of the art. I created an entire persona to fill in the blanks like when Windows asks for your name, etc. My security rule was "NO personal info PERIOD". The name is based on the initials of my Z cars, an '82 280ZX turbo and '86 300ZX turbo.

And no matter how much Mrs. Lugnut rolls her eyes when I return with yet another purchase, it pales in comparison to the "bank account lightening effect" of a car hobby....so I often remind her of this!

[NcongruNt]

Lived for many years in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Austin, although I no longer do...
hp = Hyde Park; c = Campus (old, inside joke amongst my friends); atx = Austin, Texas.

You're in good company. I lived in a few different locations in Hyde Park in my younger days.

Welcome to the forum.

(yes, I realize I'm about 3 months late, but I'm catching up!)

[rahgbag]

My initials. And a bag. I'm very clever, I know.

[papasan]

I acquired this name while I was serving in Korea.

[rubio]

I'm blonde and pale and grew up in a predominantly Latino neighborhood. Then I went off to college and realized not everybody in Texas is bilingual.

[urnoodle]

When I was a kid and I did something stupid my parents would tell me to use my noodle. Being the occasional impetuous brat (not often ), I responded with you are a noodle. I started using it back when Prodigy was one of the few ISPs, they required a shorter character count so it became uranoodle. Then I developed a bad case of CRS and I misplaced my "a" somewhere along the line.

[socrates]

Socrates asked questions of the seeker to help them find their own answers. The questions Socrates asked were not always the obvious questions but always bore a significance to the issue as well as suggesting alternative thinking methodologies to find more complete, more fundamental resolutions.

Voltaire said to "judge a man not by his answers but by his questions".

So how often do we ask questions (of significance) to which we don't already have some opinion, some knowledge, some data, and some prejudice?

Cheers.
