Thought I'd have a little fun with this, so where's your user name from? In my case, I thought it up on the spot when I joined Provo way back in the day. I had a Vino, and a bottle of Chardonnay with a little crown on it, and since Vino means wine, whola, King Vino, LOL, not very original, but best I could do on the spot!

I thought it was because you RULE! hahaha!
I got mine from some people about 26 years ago as an ugly wrinkly messy slimeball...

Mine a lot less original than yours king...

ah... but you spell it wrong...
I've only met 1 other person who spells it right! What's up with the "A"? I never could get that... then again... I bet the double "E" is weird for you...

My last name is Snyder and a long story short my friend didnt know how to spell my last name right. He started spelling it snyed and that turned into my nickname.

My idol called me "Davey-boy" at a book signing. I dunno if you've heard of him, he's a british cat named Jamie Oliver, only one of the sickest cooks in the world!

self explanitory, I used to ride harleys and say I'd never get on a scoot....then I rode one so I was converted to scooterism.

Aviatrixie is a play on the word "aviatrix", which is the female equivalent of aviator. I've used it for years in aviation chats and it seemed natural to use it here when I signed onto the Provoscooter forum.

I use the "." because someone on ebay already had kitcar

Intresting thread.
I picked mine up as a nickname in HS. It is just a tricked out funky dope-a-delic way of saying my name. Say the above kinda fast with a drawl. Chreaus. It also works for just about any site I sign on to. I've used it on 3-4 email servers and numerous other sites.

no user name
03-20-2006, 01:32 AM
You know, I thought it would be fun to pull out the proverbial shovel and pick axe and dig really deep for an old post and then regenerate interest...so here's one from a year and a half ago. I say I thought it would be fun...at 2:30 in the morning while suffering from insomnia and my alternative is to watch 30 different channels of half hour long commercials featuring rotisserie pimps and midget real estate guru twins, one of whom is now dead.
But in keeping with the subject of this post, no user name is, and I know you're not going to believe this interesting story, but, well, there is no interesting story. I just saw that I once again had to come up with another user name and there wasn't enough room for my first choice which was "I hate thinking up user names". Then I thought about using my pet raccoons name but I've used that elsewhere so I thought I won't need a user name if I have no user name...and there it is.
Time to sleep, my work is done here!

Alrighty then..
Malisaw is a character from a short story I wrote back around 1978-79 in high school. The story (only copy I had) went for a competition and won, but got LOST on the way back to me. I've used name for online games from Quake (original) to DMH and ShotOnline. I don't think it likely I'll hit a situation where it's already been used by someone else...so it's an easy choice. If I do find it's been used somewhere...I'll know where my short story ended up! lol
Iceman
03-20-2006, 07:11 AM
My nickname didn't come from scooters. I am an avid pool player and not bragging but a pretty good one. One of my team mates hung the handle Iceman on me. I ask him why and he said that I always seemed to cool down under pressure of the game. Also since I am 6'2" and 200 + and bald with a gray beard, he said I looked like the hit man they called the Iceman (I can't remember his name but they had a news show interview on him). I guess it just kind of stuck. I have tried to sign on some other sites and found that others have used the name. Too bad I don't have exclusive rights but the original is not some one to mess with. o--

VeniceRocket
03-20-2006, 02:53 PM
I was at a bar and went to leave. My scooter was next to all big bikes (Harleys and etc. what you typically see at a bar besides me) I came out and some of the big bike owners were outside showing off their bikes and i came out and got in my trunk and pulled out my helmet. They all looked at me and started chuckeling at me because of my "cute little bike...".
Well then i started it! ( I have my own custom exhaust i made it sounds like a 125cc dirtbike.)
Then they all shut-up and came over to see what the hell was going on. One big guy was lookig at my scooter and was like, "so.....it is a little venice rocket huh?..."
So there it is VeniceRocket. Facinating huh. ::unk::

Ok ..My Derbi will never be a Rocket. When I first joined the forum,I was still in that High Power Rocketry hobby...but had gotten up to "L" motors (read$200+)...got too expensive for me and I won't get an explosives permit for a hobby. Scooters are funner anyway ::handleba

StepVino
08-06-2006, 12:30 PM
The Vino I play with is actually my step son's, hence the
name. However, he just turned 18 and is finally driving a 92
Miata that his grandparents gave him 3 years ago, and had
been sitting at the shop collecting dust all this time. Pretty
much all the attention the scooter gets now is from me.

I got my name from roadracing back in the day. The friends I used to race with (now all on scooters), called me a squid. My race # was 121 for a while, sooo... I use it for most everything. o_o :race: :cup:
