Why you be who you be...

[scootnwinn]

So I just asked one user but I thought it might be cool to know why you picked the user name you use. Mine is scootnwinn because it's a cool pun. Basically my last name is Winn so I am a scooting Winn also when you scoot you win because you cheat the oil companies out of a bit of $ for your commute. Actually scooting is just full of "win" in all ways.

So I am really Rob Winn but many of you knew that already... :scoot:

[dudley]

Because its my name!
Not very exciting, but there it is!

[scootnwinn]

Well that keeps it easy

[MEAN_MOTOFINO]

Mine is self explanatory ....although the first part is more of a joke than anything :hehe:

[inuyasha]

Hi Rob
Mine is from the manga/anime Inuyasha, something inside me simply clicked with that character

And what better for scoot dawg then to have a "Demon dog" hanging around

[50cc]

Well, mine is '50cc' because I ride a 50cc without a BBK. Not very exciting.

[jonvolks]

Mine is Jonvolks because my first name is John and I love VWs Older ones

[chindog]

MIne is chindog because I have Japanese Chin dogs. I've been showing them in AKC conformation competition since 1995.

Cool names guys Jon I fiddle with VW's in my spare time too... I resurrect them and send them down the road

[prodigit]

Mine comes from a time when I was really in love with the band "The Prodigy".
I had all their recordings, and even some of their music played in games.
This was even before their most known song "Firestarter" debuted.

By the time I was into computers a lot too (talking of 1995-1996).
Since I was into all that's digital, and loved the Prodigy, I've had my name since 1995. I've seen some companies on the internet using this "ProDigit" name for their company, though they started way later than me on the internet.

At the time I chose my name, there was no mention whatsoever of anything like it.

I loved their album for the first game "WipeOut" for the PS2 I believe it was; as well as "the fat of the land" (cd with the crab on).
Their latest album "invaders must die", there's a song "Omen" (Writings on the wall) which made my hair stand up when I listened to it!
It's made out of a biblical reference, of king Belshazzar, who's doom was written out over the walls of his castle.

For years anime has been my hobby.
Started out with Hokuto No Ken ; AKA "Fist of The North Star" (1992)

Here's a modified 'quote' from me from the animesuki forums:
Nowadays I find Death Note, Berserk, Street Fighter animated movie and Street Fighter 2V, Macross Pluss (just the whole macross series has something; they're less professional, but they still have something nice in them), the old 'Hokuto No Ken'-series are all my favs, all masterpieces one by one!
Now and Then, Here and There, also a very nice anime!

Hoshi no koe is a very nice anime, very well drawn, unfortunately never finished. A bit of a mellow story though...

I still also like the Bleach and Naruto eps! Gintama has about 1 in 5-10 eps that are just simply hilarious!

I like big old Fords and upgrading them with factory parts from newer ones... "HPP" is Handling and Performance Package, a fancy tag they started putting on 90's Crown Vics/Grand Marquis with larger wheels, dual exhaust and not-as-mushy suspension.

LOL!
"YOU WA SHOCK!"
Only few know what that means; movies stemming from the era of bruce lee (AKA KEN), and Arnold Swarchenegger (AKA Raoh).

I'm not too fond of the newer versions of FOTNS. They lack the spirit of the original versions.
Probably I've seen those vids you posted under their Japanese version (Rao Tenkei dei something something and some more japanese things...).
Yes, they have a story of Ken, an ep devoted to Raoh, and one to Toki.
They're still ok, but the newer ones, like Souten No Ken, really aren't good at all!

I personally am not a manga fan. Prefer the anime.
If you liked this, try seeing Berserk. Also many said the comic was better than the anime, but I loved the anime. Berserk, Street Fighter 2V, Hunter x Hunter (the original version, not the 2012 version), Death Note, and Macross Pluss probably are my top 5 of anime!

@Inuyasha (hank): If you're up for a nice new anime in the likes of Death Note, I'm following Attack on Titan! Upto EP 19 where they are now, it's an A M A Z I N G episode!

They took someone's advise and got stories and experiences from real war veterans, and psychologists in that ep! It's not your magical sailormoon style of ep, it's hardcore! Love it so far!

It's probably the best thing right now!

The Epyon is from an anime series called Gundam Wing. the 96 is cause when I first started using the name on aol, epyon was taken, so it recommended the 96, and the R is cause I like the Acura integra type R

Ps. Seen animes mentioned above, DeathNote is a great series.

I'm Blueboy5000 as that's my stage name when playing blues. I've been playing harmonica for 35 years and am rather devoted to blues. The "5000" is simply because it's "2000" greater than "3000".

Plus almost everything I own is blue, such as all of my clothes. A Bluesman is only allowed to wear blue, black, white and grey.

Imagine my surprise when I heard Little Walter using my own style of decolletage (mouth and sinus technique) as I had never heard him before.

[bandito2]

Mine comes from my ultralight aviation days. A couple friends and I built 3 ultralight trikes that we used for giving flight instruction. I don't remember who it was that called us the 3 banditos, but I ended up in the second position. (bandito2) Kind of miss flying. Gave it up after 9/11/01 because the FAA made rule changes that were inconvenient for me, It was too far for me to go to give instruction after I had moved and that interfered with my main regular job. Interesting thing is that I had sold my Honda Helix to get an engine for my flying machine. After I sold the plane I pretty much got right back into scoots.

[Houndguy]

Basically it comes from a couple of things. I have always owned dogs for one thing.

I used to do match reports for a soccer team called the Pittsburgh Riverhounds (www.riverhounds.com)...also known as the "Hounds".

I was also told i worked like a dog (and probably smelled like one) several times.
:hmm:

Houndguy fit.

[cheapeto]

I try to do things cheap.
Not quite a skinflint, and not quite a miser, in the middle where cheap lives at.
If I can fix or do a thing I do it.
If I can not, I'll pay to have it fixed,done properly.
As a young man I wanted a Toyota Tundra, why??? I've not idea.
In 2000 I was able to buy a demo for a really good price......yep, still driving it, with 79,500 miles on it.
I'll consider selling it @ 125,00 miles or so, whatever year that will be.

I live in Chicago for 5 years, and LOVED reading Mike Royko!!
