What's in a screen name?

[SoCal Operator]

I live in southern California. I operate things. I've never had a nickname and I'm not terribly creative in that respect. :shrug:

[Tank]

Mine is my dogs name. I use my other dogs name "Dozer" on the blade forum.

[copeman]

well mine is my nick name since i dip copenhagen snuff.

p.s. are there any other dippers on here?

[rolyat1978]

Rolyat Is my last name backwards and 1978 is my birth year. Not very imaginative, I know. My nicknames in the past have included "JT" and "Chachi"(something about looking like Scott Baio).

[denn]

nothing special here, just the first four letters of my first name. plus, i think it sounds better than dennis

denn

[cobrajoe]

Mine's fairly simple too, My name is Joe, and I really would love to get a Shelby Cobra. (It's the car in my avatar)

The Cobra is the car that got me started on cars. And I really love cars. Maybe even more than I love spydies :eek:

[Blub]

My dad gave me a haircut when I was little and it stuck up all over the place so when the sun got behind me, my blonde head looked like a lit up light bulb, so that's the first part, started out as bulby, after that it was shortened to bulb. Some kid couldn't pronounce bulb and called me blub. That stuck! Cursed forever! :D

[whitefeather]

Great Story Blub.....Love it :)

[street soldier]

Well, I'm a police officer by profession. In the movie "The Chase" with Charlie Sheen, there is a scene where Henry Rollins, who is playing a cop, is talking into the camera a la "COPS". (There is a cameraman and reporter riding along with him and his partner on patrol.) He mentions that he is just a "standard issue street soldier", and not a hero or anything.

That line struck a deep chord with me.

Hence, Street Soldier.

Street Soldier, they call some people a hero because they end up in circumstances that calls for a reaction. To me a hero is some one that knowingly accepts a job that may put them in harms way while attempting to protect others. I believe this to be true even if those circumstances are never met. You sir have gained my respect for accepting this resposibility. Be safe and be careful while you are out there watching my 6.

[uhiforgot]

I'd tell the story, but just can't remember it :rolleyes:

[OutofGum]

"Its time to kick a$$ and chew bubble gum... and I'm all out of gum."
-Duke Nukem

The quote is originally from the movie They Live, and it was slightly different, and that version doesn't fit my SN.

[JspyEDC]

Boring and not very creative is how I describe how I came up with

J My first name is JESS
s
p SPYDERCO
y
E
D Hi, my name is Jess and my EDC is always Spyderco
C



Took me days to come up with that one! :D

[Episteme]

Episteme, my screen-name, is the term that Aristotle uses (greek, of course) in his "Posterior Analytics" in which he lays out his foundationalist-empiricist epistemology (theory of knowledge). "Episteme" has been translated to mean approximately "knowledge of the scientific type", which is sought after by way of adhering to Aristotle's philosophy of science/epistemology in his "Posterior Analytics".
I am a Ph.D student in the department of Philosophy at Johns Hopkins, and ironically, Ancient Philosophy is not an area of speciality or competance of mine. Ethical theory, Philosophy of Science, and Applied Ethics are the areas I do most of my work in.

[Ronald NL]
