How did you come up with your user name?

[urban warrior]

There have been lots of people introducing before me, well I hope my story will be not too boring.

First "Urban Warrior" is also my eBay-ID, in my very first days of internet activity, I chosed the name "Tecumseh", but I discovered really fast, that this name was already gone on most sites. So I remembered a song from Cameo ("Word Up") from the late eighties, that was called "Urban Warrior", since my pre-name Martin is derived from a very martial presence, and I believe myself belonging to the hawks and not the doves, well I thought my actual name fits to me. OK even this name is not available on all boards, I did not get it at the RCMT, my ID is "El Zurru" there, mixed up from my lastname (Zurru - sardinian version of the italian "azurro" - "blue", sometimes my mental condition) and "El Zorro", since most people mistype my last name: Zorro, Zurro, Zuru, Zurn, ...

Well that's it!

Regards, Martin

[SIZMTRZ]

Well, SIZMTRZ has been the vanity licence plate on my car for the last 4-5 years. If you sound it out is says " Size Matters" . This is kinda my motto in life. It does not always mean bigger is better...but if you think about it, 90+% of the things people do or bye, size is a big consideration.

Obvously, the first thing that pops into a person's head is the sexual reference. My line to women when they confront me with this question usually go'ssomthing like this..." no no no, that is not what I meant...it has to do with the bulge in my pants, only the one in my back pocket! Cause if the wallet ain't full enough then the chicks ain't diggin ya! LOL

[Oldschooltamiya]

This has been a lot of fun[]

My call is an easy one just look at my cars[]

I used to race these things, thats why my old ID on Roby's

board was oldschoolracer, I would still be using it but I

can't remember my old password[:I] when I signed up

for this board I e-mail Chris about my old password.

But it was quicker (for me) just to come up with a new

ID then to wait to get my password back.

I've asked Chris to remove oldschoolracer

from the main site.

But until then I get to be on the main site twice[]

On e-bay I'm s-l-a

Well there's lots more to this story, if you've got a

couple hours I'll tell you[8)]

Same story for me, "RAEMIN" is the first nickname I ever had on any IS system, I know the "FiName" naming convention is a bit crude, but up to know, I've always been using this nick.

I started about 5 years ago with the resto of my Chevrolet Camaro RS from 1971. I just started on the internet and needed a "nickname".

I use it on ebay also (basically everywhere I need a login name)

[Scorchio]

Scorchio is the catch phrase of a Spanish weather girl on a comedy programme here in the U.K. called the fast show, every day the weathers the same and all she says is 'ah! scorchio!' pretending to be surprised badly. As I'm completely sand scorcher obsessed it was the one for me, and I was amazed I was the first. Edicule is my ebay I.D. which is named after my recording studio, it means 'a very small thing of little importance which becomes a huge thing of great importance.'

[limas_mtb]

"limas" is my nickname from my mountain-bike racing days.

It comes from my real name (Alex), but in an unusual way: Radio ABC goes like following: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot... Kilo, Lima, blahblah.

My riding buddies at the time were fixated on this "radio ABC", calling each other with according "codes".

Anyway, "alpha" was too ordinary since many names in Greece start with an "A", so "Lima" was next.

"Lima" became "Limas", then "limas_mtb" for net use...

Funny, eh?[]

[BeetleMeister]

I like monster beetles...hence the Beetle part. The Meister is for several reasons. I used to call my kid brother "chubbermeister" when he was small, which he loved. Meister is German.....I think? I have German family. I seem to remeber some TV show where this thing ( human? creature? random living object?) was always saying to his boss/keeper "yes meister.....yes meister" before running off and doing things for him. I remember thinking this was pretty cool and that I needed to get me one of these when I grow up. Well in August I'm getting married!

Happy Days [8D]

[stulec52]

not that geting married means you are a grown up by any means !!

just ask around here!

but, congratulations and hope you have a great day.

As for my nickname, I got 2, this one you know about is from my name shortened and my basketball number tagged on the end, how I came about 52 is a long story though, and my other nickname came from a friend who used to always call me, 2Tall2Ball, which got shortened to 2tall

there you go.

[String]

Do you mean "Fantasy Island" BeetleMeister? The little french guy running around all the time.Knick Knack I think his name was and he showed up in the Bond film Man with the Golden gun.

[Racing Master]

My nickname is Racing Master, because I really like the old Tamiya Racing Masters.

After I used this nickname, I became Tamiya F1 world champion in Shizuoka. If only I had chosen 'fullscalef1worldchampion'[]

Do you mean a red haired little creature called Pumukl?

[urban warrior]

Hi,

"Meister" should mean "master" or "foreman", especially when it comes to handicraft, in this case a carpenter. When you learn a profession, and you finish your apprenticeship you are a "Geselle" (assistant / companion), but if you want to educate other trainees you must top your profession with a special schooling, if you succeed, you become a "Meister", who is allowed to train others.

[Wireless]

I'm Wireless because ever since I was a kid I liked anything that worked without wires. Be it r/c cars or walkie-talkies. Today, I love my r/c cars and planes and have just bought a helicopter, have several pairs of walkie-talkies, have been a fan of setting up monster satellite tv installations (I set up a 2m horizon to horizon dish at my mums house), have a sophisticated hand-held radio scanner (Yaesu VR-500), had one of the first digital cell phones in the country and all my computers in the house are wirelessly connected to ADSL Internet in such a way that I can get high-speed access to tamiyaclub.com up the road at my local pub on my Laptop or PocketPC.

[gingerboy98]

I dont know where mine came from []

[wldnas]

OK I know a few curious ppl have been asking me about my user name, but this seems like as good a place to put this puppy to bed as any...

wldnas comes from my desire to spell the word "Wilderness" with the fewest letters possible, OK a bit of artistic licence was used in substituting the E with an A and its actuall pronounce wuld-nass.

I've been using this user name for years, even before I first came on the internet I was using it as my User name on Computer games, I use it where ever I can, even though it's alreday been taken in a few places?

but the origins of the name it self come from a Idea for a Story that I had many years ago called "Wilderness" about a guy who gives up his life in the UK, sells up everthing and travels to Australia, on arriving there he burns all his Passport, Visa and identification, then he changes his name to Will Dinas, buys a Scrambler Motorbike and rides around the Outback Lone Ranger stylee helping out ppl he comes accros who are in trouble, has many adventures, and becomes wanted by the law, for questioning about his involvement in many "incidents" and is later subject to a Manhunt from them anyway gets a bit of a "Urban Legend" status through the ways he helps out certain ppl, and after a few years finally gets cornered and caught by the authoritys and taken to court, they find out his true identity and as he is an illegal immigrant they want to extrodite him, anyway public support for him is such that protestors made up of all the ppl who he helped over the year besiege the court house demanding his release, anyway eventually through puplic pressure he is absolved of the supposed crimes and given Aussie citizenship and freed to carry on his life as he wants.....

OK I know is a really silly idea, but one of may "Story" Ideas I've had over the years that could be made into Books or Films and such like, I'd like to do more with these Ideas, but I'm no writer []

OH and one last thing (and this REALLY annoys me) My user name IS NOT supposed to say WIDNES which a small town in the north of England, I know my user name looks a lot like it but it's WLDNAS OK [!]
