sky fish Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hello I called my self sky fish. Because my first kite was a delta with a six foot wing span it would take for ever to reel it in a good wind . I when it got my first stunt kite.I didn't know how to control it.And I would get tug and pull around like I was landing a fish . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hrm... Well... It's my parent's fault, really. I've also been known as Blaze (a moniker I picked up in the restaurant industry), IcyAir (from my old days on IRC) and Satori (a state of zen being).

--Pete Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Mine drives from old email/newsgroup protocols: you used to be able to put a line with just two hyphens before your signature, and most email/newsreader programs would ignore anything beyond that line when quoting someone else's post. I liked the look of it and affixed it before my name as an e-sig. Strictly speaking, the sig should have two spaces before the hyphens to avoid confusing email clients that don't properly ignore anything past lines that have ONLY two hyphens and ignore anything past lines that START with two hyphens. Unfortunately almost all forum software deletes leading whitespace (like spaces and tabs). Someone once referred to me as "decrement Pete" as the double minus sign means to subtract one from a variable (decrement) in some programming language or other. (Maybe "C"?) It has one interesting side-effect: since the ASCII hyphen sorts before any alphabetic character, it tends to sort my "handle" at the beginning of most lists. (Another blast from the past, resurrected by the exploring newbie.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepster Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 The first time I needed a screen name was on Christmas day in 2001. We stumbled upon Geocaching and did our first two caches. To log the finds required a screen name ... dah! Well, since we usually have at least one Jeep in the lineup, several derivatives were explored. Jeeps-R-Us, JeepDriver, etc. A quick look through the Jeep history uncovered the Jeepster name. That was a instant aha! Well, when I started kiting, it just seemed natural to continue to use it. The unfortunate thing with a screen name like mine is that it's too common. A search on Geocaching.com shows twenty more members with a derivative name starting with Jeepster. Looks like if I started today, it'd be long gone. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quincy Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Mine comes from the old TV show since I am a Forensic Scientist (but I don't cut up bodies). A couple of waitresses at a bar where I used to play trivia called me Quincy after a particularly good run of winning contests and the name stuck.

Jynx Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Mine goes back to high school when, by rare coincidence, guys I dated had accidents or other misfortunes. It was said, in jest, 'Don't date her, she's a jinx'! ...and it stuck! Refusing to admit being a jinx, I chose to spell it "Jynx"! Call me what you will... I am blessed to be one of the luckiest people I know! Aging gracefully until the anvil falls, Jynx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgewarden Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 During High School, at the Portland (OR) library, I looked up the origin of my (at the time) unusual first name "Howard". The only other Howards I knew of were my grandfather and Howard Keel. One book identified Howard as "Hog Warden" - (I'm guessing maybe pig farmer? Or maybe royal inspector of swine? - Explanation was lacking.) A second book identified it as "Hedge Warden" - (Gardener? Maybe he who measures the hedges for dimensional compliance?) When it came time to create an on-line moniker, I found that "Hedgewarden" was far less common than "Smith123" - and thus the single tag could be used on many sites. If you see a "Hedgewarden" signature on the web, it is most likely me - except for You-Tube. If you wish to use it, I shall bequeath "Hogwarden" to anyone who asks.

Reef Runner Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 We stumbled upon Geocaching and did our first two caches. Hey Tom, That happens to also be one of my other hobbies, which evolved from my fascination with the GPS. So not only do I GeoCache, I also use the same handle, over there. So cheers to you too....................nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Runner Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 My handle, "Reef Runner", comes from many years ago, when I was heavy into striper fishing, boating, etc. I picked up that handle as my call name, on the VHF radio. Since that time, I have used it here on the Kitelife forum, on the Rev forum, on the GWTW forum, on the Cornhole forum, on the GeoCaching website, on the GeoCaching forum, on the GPS forum, and on several other forums, that I can't think of right now.......... I figured, why complicate things with a bunch of different names, so I stuck with it............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
