What's the meaning/story behind your username?

[SlickSnake]

I forgot to add, my nick means what it says. And if you don't understand that, you're doing it wrong.

And it means a little more since I have been known to fight a few fires and my avatar is red.

 

[TraumaRN]

Simple, I am an ER nurse who is trained in trauma. Plus I used to work at Level 1 Trauma hospitals. I love any kind of trauma patient, always fascinating and usually a good story behind most injuries.

Especially the "I was naked and accidentally sat down on the (insert object here) stories.

It sounds like it could be a real word but it's just easy to type on a keyboard.

I used to use blazert40 back in the day when I joined here as it was a carry over of when I was trying to figure out a email account name when I signed up for one of my first email accounts in the 90's. At that time I had a Chevy Blazer (nothing to do with pot, sorry to disappoint), T is the initial of my last name and 40 for 40oz beer.

I then began to think that it wasn't really needed to continue using a crappy username that I only used in the first place because I couldn't think of anything else that wasn't already taken.

Yeah. I always think of the NES game when I see your username.

"Location: Atlanta, GA area"

My buddy Joe is in Newnan, GA (Atlanta area) and used the name "llasert" online ("laser t" / "blazer t" :hmm. Don't tell me you also repair cell phones and electronics. The coincidence would be mind boggling.

 

[Tim]

An obscure reference to my favorite band (who nobody here has probably ever heard of). Also was my AOL/AIM screen name from 1999-present.

I fly the same model airplane from the really old TV series SkyKing.

[Trey22]

Growing up playing hoops almost every day, I became the streakiest 3 pt shooter ever. Once I started hitting 9 out 10 three's, friends started calling me Trey.

22 came from my fav NFL player, Emmitt Smith.

Put the two together and it's a screen name I've been using for 20 years.

[Ventanni]

Back in my high school days, I had this idea for this fantasy story about three archangel brothers where, in the absence of the creator, one of them jealously falls from grace in observation of the blessings upon mankind. Over the years, I lost interest in it due to it just being another fantasy war story, but I always liked the names I came up for them: Ranari, Ventanni, and Gallabriel.

 

[ReggieDunlap]

From the movie "SlapShot" Player/Coach Reggie Dunlop (but I eff'ed up and spelled it with an "a").
