I have wondered at a few peoples handles and how they came to be.

I got Doughnut for two reasons. first was the obvious cop (wanna-be) reference. Second is the web cartoon "Red vs. Blue". There is a character called Donut that my buddies decided was very me.

A shotgun. Check my profile. Semi-automatic. Eight rounds per second. 6.4lbs (kicks like two mules). VERY accurate compared to most other 12 gages and excellent recoil characteristics.

Not for the faint of heart : ). I've had more than one "man" hand it back to me after 4-5 rounds.

M1, are you comparable to one, or just a fan of the weapon? Did you take the name or was it given to you?

I don't like handles.

Hence the use of my real name.

Metalstorm
Posted on Saturday, May 28, 2005 - 04:21 pm:   Edit Post Delete Post View Post/Check IP Print Post    Move Post (Custodian/Admin Only)

When I was a kid I saw a movie called Metalstorm. I don't remember the movie too much, only that it was one of those post apocalypse, road warrior type films. The name stuck with me though, I just thought it was cool. Then back in 98 I started playing Ultima Online (yes I'm a fantasy geek) and I named my main char Tal Metalstorm. Tal is my three initials in real life & in the game it was short for Talis. The name just became a part of me.

I am always amazed to find out many people on Buells were/are fantasy/ sci fi/ game geeks. (I am all three.)

Zeke - was taken
Zero - too cartoonish
aleutianswillmonster - too long and I just do not drink like that anylonger

Loki - a shapeshifter I have become. Through all my travels about this sphere. I can blend in and not stand out to be singled out.

Well, my old nickname was "Chaser", earned it when I was a teenager, and it has nothing to do with drinks or women........

Anyway, it gto shortned to Chase, and I have been called that for the last 8-9 years or so, hell, even my family calls me that...

So...chasespeed..well, old nickname, and always my hobby, trying to go faster, be it car, truck boat bike whatever....

So..

Nothing really creative...(actually I am not creative enough with nomikers(sp?) to come up with that , a woman who was in my life once did..)

So...

The only reason I still remember my given name, is its on my SS card and IDs....

It's my "Anti" name. When I first started on the internet everyone had some cheesy handle (ie sexxyroxorkitten, N30ofD00M crap like that). So I just made some random name that made no sense at all.

I would have chosen "Eazy" (self given) but that was already taken so "ImEazy" had to do. I'm bout as laid back as they come. Sure wish the world would slow down to my pace. laughs

Posted on Saturday, May 28, 2005 - 09:21 pm:   Edit Post Delete Post View Post/Check IP Print Post    Move Post (Custodian/Admin Only)

I don't actually remember...but I've heard the story a million times,

When I was a toddler, about one or two years old, supposedly I was fat and round as could be, dimples on every joint.

Anyway for entertainment, my older sister mostly, but my whole family would sing "Timbo, Timbo jolly little Timbo" and poke me in the belly (picture the pilsbury doughboy here). To which I would laugh and giggle till I fell on the ground. When I would get back up, they would start again, over and over.

To this day, when she hasn't seen me for a while, or when she is particularly happy, she will say "TIMBO"! when she see's me.

So when I first got online (many, many moons ago) I tried it for my aol name and it took. People online knew me as Timbo and it has carried over till now.

Kinda lame, but true.

Impulse 101--cheat code that gives you all weapons and ammo on the original Half-life PC game.

It became the name of my Neo-progressive music solo project and I posted under that name on a lot of music and guitar websites. When I joined here I just kept the same name to avoid confusion.

Hi! My real name is Rob, I live in a swamp. I had to have a septic system put in last year, When they dug the hole for the tank they hit watersand and had to hold the tank down with the bucket to keep it from floating out of place.

I work for the MDOT as a commercial vehicle inspector, and travel all over the state of Michigan doing so. I am one of the "Bus Busters" which has nothing to do with the handle Swampy!
