Explain your screen name

[Evil D]

Some of them are fairly obvious, like people's names and such (not much explanation for "sal" lol) but others are a total mystery. What's your screen name mean?


Mine is an old high school nickname. My name is David and people have called me Evil D for years (well, the people I grew up with anyway). It's also a play on words, flipping the D around to the end of "devil". I'm really not evil though, I promose :D

Before that, a few friends used to call me hippie because I had really long hair when I was younger. That doesn't suit me very well these days since I shave my head lol.

[Jazz]

When picking a name, I came up with Jazz back in '07, because I was heavily into jazz back then. I go through stages in music. Started out a metalhead in the 80's, blues and jazz, country, and now I'm mostly listening to (and playing on guitar) metal - particularly Exodus, Heathen, Laaz Rockit... I like a lot of music stlyes, even techno, but Jazz sounds cool, and nobody had the name already.

[Holland]

Holland is my last name. Very creative I know :)

[senorsquare]

My high school nickname was S-Squared because my initials are S.S. I added the middle initial for an email address (sr.square@whatever.com) which led to senorsquare.

[Invective]

"Invective" is just a fun word to say. Nothing more than that.

[1623]

I'm a drummer and I enjoy the history behind the Cymbals that I play.

Alchemist, Avedis I, began making Zildjian Cymbals in a small Constantinople foundry in 1623.

[jabba359]

Mine is a mashup of two sci-fi franchises: Star Wars and Star Trek. Way back when, I was looking for a Star Wars themed name. I can't remember why I went with Jabba the Hutt (I never did particularly care for him), but I do know that all the Vaders, Yodas, and Fetts seemed to be taken already. Then I tacked on 359 as a tribute to Star Trek, because Wolf 359 was the sector where the Federation had their first major battle with the Borg.

[Qcrazy]

Mine is pretty easy to interpret, since I was making a name for this Spyderco forum I chose my favorite knife they made. I do have dreams of finding and acquiring more of these great knives, though prices sure seem to be going up.

[Donut]

My explanation is in this thread:

[3rdGenRigger]

Mine's quite obvious. Both my father and grandfather built and maintained cellular and broadcast towers (and rooftop sites etc.). My father still does, and I did full time for a number of years myself, though now it's more of a weekend and evening gig for me while I'm in college full time. I'm a 3rd generation rigger.

[.357 mag]

.357 mag.. Cause I love the caliber.

[xceptnl]

Mine is from way back in High School. My vehicle at the time was fairly old and I had a guy tell me it was in Exceptional condition. It kinda stuck and a few years later I changed the tags to personalized ones. Xceptnl was the best I could do with only 7 characters.

[Blerv]

First two letters of my first name + first three letters of my last name.

Oh...and if you link each one to a date in the Chinese Zodiac and use a decrypting ring it predicts the date of the zombie apocalypse.

[IG-88]

My name is Nicolas and I'm, next to Spyderco also a StarWars fan. StarWars is another of my passions. I've been collecting StarWars since the early '80 and now have a house full of StarWars stuff. IG-88 is one of my favourite droids. Its a bounty hunter/Assassin Droid and seen I'm always on the hunt for the next Spyderco to add to the collection of captured heads I thought it was an appropriate forumnick.



My desk

[Enkidude]

In the ancient Sumerian poem "The Epic of Gilgamesh" there is a character named Enkidu. He is a wild man who lives in the woods. Enkidu and Gilgamesh sort of parallel Cane and Abel from the Bible. I like to backpack, camp, forage wild edibles, bushcraft, and all that stuff. I added "de" to the end of Enkidu to make it Enki-dude. Thanks for asking!!

[SIGnificant]

Longtime Sig Sauer fan.

[O,just,O]

The initial of first or Christian name is O. Mates call me O. That can be, big O, The Oster. Owee, or from my wife, Hello smellO.
I prefer O, just simply, O.
O.

[Pockets]

I really like having a lot of pockets. My favorite pair of pants is the Blaklader Workwear 1500, which has something like 17 pockets. 'Nuff said.
