What's the story behind your forum name?

[Lemming]

I'm a scientist and study body weight/composition/obesity. I've measured body composition in everything from fruitflies to elephants. One of my favorite models systems was the collared lemming, having done some field research on a remote island off the coast of Greenland.

[CDNIcecube]

“CDN” because I am a proud Canadian and “icecube”, because I love winter, cold, snow and ice. I take long walks in the winter with my husky, while the wifey (and Boxster) stay warm inside....! Been using this moniker for the last, oh, 17 years!

[Benitom]

First name last initial. Not a member of very many forums but typically use my long time PlayStation gamer tag zapatistab. I figure in a Porsche forum I should adult

[Firewrench]

I used to fix fire trucks. Now I make others do it.

[lcsdoug]

lcs is for my company - Lake Country Systems and my name is Doug.

[chaiyz]

It's my real name. My parents hated me. End of story...

[kbike]

kbike is for my BMW K100RS motorcycle. I first used a version of it when I joined one of my motorcycle forums and it has stuck.

[Bald Eagle]

Bald Eagle was my nickname in collage for slightly obviously reasons which have become much more obvious as I grew older.

Larry
The Bald Eagle

[Bootlegger]

Mine is somewhat obvious as I have been brewing my own beer for 17 years. When people come to the house and see my homemade equipment on the shelves in the garage they accuse me of being a bootlegger. I don't show them my still in the barn tho...

[Timco]

I’m Tim. I have a company. Called it Timco. I’ve seen that a few times in the wild elsewhere.

Timco is a commercial airline maintenance and rehaul company in NC, big stuff. I did some business and compliance consulting for them about a decade ago as they started to “take off” (pun intended)

[Booker42]

In my early twenties I used to joke with my friends that if I had kids I wanted two boys. I was going to name them Booker and Buster. My buddies picked it up and started calling me Booker instead.

I ended up with two girls named Grace and Claire.

[tightbox]

double entendre

[Beriaan]

5 first letters of last name an first 2 of my first name. It was given to me by a network administrtor on my second job and used it ever since...

[jb92563]

Dad's initials plus a Zip code of a place I lived before.
I was trying to be cryptic, yet have something I could remember.

Its a lot better than when I used my initials and birthday and got hacked.

Physics, quantum physics and theory have been of great interest to me since I was about 10 years old and first learned of Davisson and Germer's double slit experiment (light behaving as both particle and wave). It's still a passion of mine.
As many know, I also like purdy lights, so I guess the name fits.

I tried a few screen names when registering, but they were not available. I tried this one and it was accepted, so I'm stuck with it.

You might appreciate this... My general premise of navigation I refer to as "Heisenberg Navigation", whereas I either know where I want to be but have no idea where I am, or I know my location but don't know where I want to go. Either way, it keeps life interesting, and perhaps the best way to spend the day in my Boxster.

It's been a REALLY LONG TIME since I've studied this stuff, but...that's what was, at one time anyway, referred to as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, right?? Me and physics go WAY back

[rocartfe2]

Some buddies and I were tired of the poor management at our work place ( government contractor). It just so happened the for the next contract award they government was forcing part of the contract to go to a smaller company.

I gathered 15 or so people to start a company to bid for the small piece of the pie. As a joke we took the current company name Tracor and just reversed it. Everything was progressing until it was time for the rubber to meet the road. The company caught wind and started asking people to sign commitment letters.

Most people don't want to be there own boss. Field Engineer 2 working for Rocart will always been a missed opportunity.

[Boxstard]

Boxer + Roadster + our grandfather Porsche 550 aka 'Little Bastard' = Boxstard
