Where did your user name come from?

[LS-208]

I find it very interesting, as I know most of you will, to hear the story about how your username came about. Mine is my call sign at work. None of us here have a clue what the LS actually stands for. So what is the story behind yours?

[CathyInBlue]

The name I go by, my middle name, is Cathy, and my predominant color in clothing, decorating, and eventually, my car, is blue. Hence, Cathy In Blue.

My car is a retired police cruiser. This yeilds some to think I mean to imply that I'm a police officer (in blue). Nope. I'm far too naïve to ever survive putting in time as a beat cop.

 

[glock36]

It is my cc weapon

 

[HK4U]

It is my cc weapon

I neglected to mention that I also carry a Glock along with my HK. But once in a while if I feel the need I may also have a Sig or Walther with me. However I thought the name HK,Glock,Sig,Walther4u might be a little long.:biggrin:

 

[Red Hat]

Mine comes from my job in the Air Force. I was a Combat Arms Instructor and we wore Red Hats with CATM stenciled in front. Hence My name Red Hat.

[Scarecrow]

mine just came from making up names to put on the screen when my friends and I went bowling. one day I put Scarecrow and liked it better than the rest of the names I put before.. so it just kinda stuck.

[utimmer43]

Mine goes back to my highschool days. I use it for all my user names. When we played NHL hockey or Madden Football, we used to fire the players and replace them with "ourselves". I was always 43. "Timmer" was/is my nickname. The "U" in front stands for uncle (Uncle Timmer).
