An old question; New for 2008. Explain your screen name.
 

Quicksilver = My 2002 Apple desktop computer. (Which i might add is still kicking.) :thumbup:

MrLabGuy...Pretty self explanatory. I'm a Business Development Manager for a large California Laboratory and have been in the Medical Laboratory industry for the last 17 years.

Self explanatory......

TrueX5er....I don't know.

Two that I've wondered about were AzNmpower32 and Canamx5...

MrLabGuy, don't you have labs too? (the dog)

Quick X5.....enough said!

Hang on......you may find out........:thumbup:

duh

Haigha - The March Hare's name as given by the white King in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass:

`I see nobody on the road,' said Alice.

`I only wish I had such eyes,' the King remarked in a fretful tone. `To be able to see Nobody! And at the distance too! Why, it's as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!'

All this was lost on Alice, who was still looking intently along the road, shading her eyes with one hand. `I see somebody now!' she exclaimed at last. `But he's coming very slowly -- and what curious attitudes he goes into!'

(For the Messenger kept skipping up and down, and wriggling like an eel, as he came along, with his great hands spread out like fans on each side.)

`Not at all,' said the King. `He's an Anglo-Saxon Messenger -- and those are Anglo-Saxon attitudes. He only does them when he's happy. His name is Haigha.' (He pronounced it so as to rhyme with `mayor'.)

`I love my love with an H,' Alice couldn't help beginning, `because he is Happy. I hate him with an H, because he is Hideous. I fed him with -- with -- with Ham-sandwiches and Hay. His name is Haigha, and he lives --'

`He lives on the Hill,' the King remarked simply, without the least idea that he was joining in the game, while Alice was still hesitating for the name of a town beginning with H. `The other Messenger's called Hatta. I must have two, you know -- to come and go. One to come, and one to go.'

It's my name! :doh:

BMWLOVER....Explains itself.:thumbup:

I live in Maine. !ouch:

It was an old AIM screen name that I've since retired.

Asian M power. I hope the //M Power part makes sense. Because AzNMpower was taken already on AIM, the 32 is a tack on taken off the 3.2 litre S54 motor in the M3, which was and still remains the one car I wish to own.

swesson = Scott Wesson. My middle and last name given me by my parents.

ex-jeepguynw: I used to own a Jeep, but now I'm owned by my X5. I'm a guy. I live north of Seattle. So I'm an Ex Jeep Guy in the NorthWest.

Not very clever, I know, but it fits. And all the cool names like "Michelle" were already taken... :rofl:

Dave

Yep...Black lab female and yellow lab male now laying around in my home office as I type. It's been stormy outside this weekend so they are in with the rest of the family.

:kissass: :rofl:

The explaination for my screen name is simply the lack of creativity on my part. I may need to change it once the X5 is sold and I'm in my 335i...

Some people have said that I'm a little direct about my opinions.

Since the most direct (or shortest distance between two lines) is called a Beeline, I took the term and adapted it with a little personal style.

B-line :)

Dayum, I thought you were a scientist or something. :nanana:

my other "alter ego" on ebay and e90post is based on the town my ski house is in and my first license plate number that I liked.

Wanger wasn't available...

mD..."initials" for motordavid.
Born and raised in Detroit, circa '47 to '75. Always loved cars,
motorcycles, working on them, (when it was easy to work
on them!), street racing back in the '60s on Woodward
Ave., etc. Got the nickname about 1962...it stuck.

And, being one of the main pic posting punques, here
are a couple to put my mug with my nom de plume;
first one is from the Initial Big X5World Meet in Oct '05
and the 2nd one is a self pic, wideazz angle of me & V
in San Martin Park Buenos Aires, on our way to Antarctica
this past Jan.
BR,mD ...Ol'UncleMotor

Michelle PM'd me once and asked if I was the 11th Ray. :rofl:

Sales is where the money is at so I went from the bench out into field. Performing the testing was pretty cool; however, sales is much more rewarding and provides more schedule flexibility.

With sales I'm based out of my home office; however, if I was still testing my wife would divorce me if I was to bring home blood and other nasty bodily fluids to run testing at home.

My screen name comes from my high school university. I am proud to be a true BLUE EAGLE .

ALPAC = First 2 letters of my first name and the first 3 letters of my last name.
Now that I think about it it does sound like the name of a cheap laundry detergent

I swear we've done this before!

My Hair Color (Blond)
I'm a young gay male (Boy spelled as boi)
I'm in San Diego (nsd)

We have. I'm just too lazy to dig up the thread. :rofl:

:thumbup: Got it now.

At some point I thought it had to do something with New Mexico. :rofl: :rofl:

statdoc= stat (Latin medical term for "immediately; now) and doctor. I am an Emergency Physician. I have used the name in various ways on the Internet since Gore invented it.

JCL = initials. J = Jeff No creativity whatsoever. If you go to Bimmerfest, or e90post, etc, jcl was taken so I am jcl10 there.

Of course we have. Didn't you read the thread title???
"And old question; New for 2008. Explain your screen name"

It's for the new folks who haven't explained themselves
in the hopes that it will promote a sense of community.

I have a Canadian and American citizenship (canam) + X5 :thumbup:

Vf1-X5; Veritech Fighter 1 - X5; It's from an old anime, some of you may have heard of ROBOTECH:macross. Usually its simple fighter plane names like vf1-j or k or what ever letter else they may use, since one day i wish my X5 would transfrom into a robot thats what my name is.

~KaiFy GaiwanY~ --> arabic.. kaify means "up to me" in english and gaiwany comes from the city i was born and im living in which is called Umm Al Quwain (one of the 7 cities of UAE) ..

StumpyPete - I'm short (therefore stumpy) and called Pete.

I'm chinese :rofl:

I'm Super, and my name is Greg. Oh, I can also leap tall buildings with a single bound :rofl: .

See, I even have the shirt to prove it (gift from creamy aka cmyx5go!)

OT...
Hey, SG...who's the ol'broad you are standing next too?!

J/K, Dear!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

What is she holding? :confused:

My big extra lens...:rofl:
Yours truly took the snap.

LOL gotcha. :)

Self explanatory: Major O-4, United States Air Force...former Combat Control Team member and Avionics Engineer

Kolor interpretation for the X.

January 5, 1911 on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington.

Mystery solved! :rofl:

BLK03X5 -- self explanatory...black '03 X5 when i first signed up but now I have an '04 Silver X5...

Mine is very cryptic ....see if you can guess its origin.

China Man's really surprised me, I'm not sure if I can handle a tough one like yours. :rofl:

Which came first? Canadian or American? Heard there has to be a sequence to get both.

:bustingup :rofl:

Good idea.

:thumbup:

Beats a secret password.

* * * * *

Mine is the character portrayed by Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects (1995).


HOCKNEY: What I want to know is, who's the gimp?

KEATON: He's OK.

HOCKNEY: Says you. How do I know that? How about it, pretzel-man? What's your story?

KEATON: His name is Verbal. Verbal Kint.

McMANUS: Verbal?

VERBAL: Roger really. People say I talk too much.

HOCKNEY: Yeah, I was gonna tell you to shut up.

***
KUJAN: Every criminal I have put in prison, every cop that owes me a favor, every creep and scumbag that walks the streets for a living will know the name of Verbal Kint.

Never would have guessed it. I saw that movie but that dialogue passed me by.

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he didn't exist."

LVR = Loan to Value Ratio, you know, how much you still owe on the X....

Some hot cougar, I forget her name :D

noncom= noncomputerized
23= old playing number

I was born in Montreal and lived there for 20 years. Got a job offer in San Diego and moved. I met my future wife soon there after.

Eh, I am so uncreative.

One look at my handle, and you know I love Lexus.

In fact, I may have to change it. Is that possible?

You sure can. Just send me a PM with what you want it to be. :thumbup:

x5 in san francisco

Hmm... give me a day to think. These things take time. :thumbup:

My basic name needs no explanation x5 4.4 blue

Modcat

I really took a strong position against silly modification like spinner wheels, so Modcat was my alter image.

Goodman

Just a random name

My initials - X5

OMG - Where is Quick?

Just saw it.........:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

He admitted to it?? I haven't been around long enough to see all the Modcat posts but I have seen what people were saying about them...

Did x54.4blue, Modcat and Goodman ever have a discussion with each other? That would be interesting to see... :)

:wow: :wow: :wow:

The truth will set you free!

You could say that. Modcat has responded in a Blue thread and visa versa. :rolleyes:

I once saw a guy on the street corner having an argument with himself. I wonder if it was Modcat arguing with Goodman? :lmao:

My lease is up in the fall and I am will probably get a 3 or a 5, at that time I think I will change my name to TrueBlue.

I have to give Blue credit though. I thought it was witty of him to come up with Modcat as his alter ego. We all thought he was nuts then, it showed he had some sense of humor.

Brian - you HAVE to go and read the useless mod threads :rofl:

Are we allowed to have 3 user names?

Please check the rule book.

:wow: There was some interesting, boring, funny, scarey, and just plain weird posts by Modcat/x54.4blue/Goodman. :rofl:

I especially liked the denials like when gresch implied they were same person as was told to F*&^ O%$! Or when it was denied that the alter ego used the same IP address.

The three of them seem to have some confusion whether they are on the east or west coast and whether they support the Red Sox, the Mets or the A's though :confused:

Are you an admin? This is why I asked..the admins.

I am a Mets fan first though I do like the Red Sox

My point is that we don't have a rule book.

Oh we do have some rules. But we also adhere to the rule of common sense. :thumbup:

The only time that I have seen the admin take action is when you have a personnel attack or spam.


My "common sense" may be different than yours.:thumbup:

My intials and I live in Virginia.

What does your username stand for?
 

I'll start:

Naz24

Naz= short for my name, nazario

24--number of my favorite (then) player on the yankees, tino martinez

This sounds familiar but maybe from BF...

I lived in Maine and used to think it made me special. Now it just makes me look like a retard. :D

:whistle:

It used to be MINz guy because I missed an "I." Anyways, it means Kyosho Mini Z, a R/C car model that I race around with.

Mrbmwx5
Mrbmw cuz i own to many BMW's in my life.

What does your mean L??? :nanana:

If you know this line, "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist," then you know what mine means.

For me its a remnant of my gaming days - it started out as simply 'Raven', but that became too common. Since I have always been a fan of ravens (the birds) in fiction and mythology, one could say I took it to heart, and it became Ravenheart :) Guess who my favorite football team is ... that bunch of no good ... :rolleyes:

I'm so glad you said that. I just saw the last "I" today and thought, Damn...my I need to go to the eye doctor...:rofl:

There is another thread here somewhere about the meaning of screen names. I searched but couldn't find it. I'm sure Michelle will dig it out and merge the threads.

I own a pair of black 5's...

I think Henry Ford had it right. Black, Black or Black :thumbup:

YouTube - Kayser Soze

my friends told me I played sports/lived life with 'reckless abandon' and I once drove an eclipse spyder. I do miss that car.

I can't remember. I have to go pee again.

"Homer no function beer well without."

First initial, last name. Makes it easy to remember :thumbup:

Mine is in honor of the greatest college football team ever, my alma mater The University of Tennessee.

So many different reasons, use your imagination!

There has been a thread already on this. Let me find.

initials & my first X

Is this it?
http://www.xoutpost.com/off-topic/lo...reen-name.html

Recall

"Kaefer" is "bug" or "beetle" in German. (No, I'm not German, though I did live there for a few years.) It's an old AIM screen name I picked 'cause I thought it was uncommon. I've stuck with it now for many, many years.

I'm thinking about changing it to match my license plate -- "JUANTED." :) (My first name is Juan.)

Yes, thanks. Merging the threads.

Was trying to get a good (but short) eMail at Yahoo (WAY long ago) with the word chef. All the really good ones were taken. Just stabbed away and ended up with realchef.:dunno:
Shortly thereafter, I did lockdown the name on every server on the planet. :D (at the time anyway)
Oh.. I am a European trained Chef.
:mmm:

The Great NorthWet you mean. Where is north of Seattle? I was born and raised in Edmonds, driven my white X5 back there a few times...go white cars in the rainy area!

As for my screen name...black on LIGHT gray E34 ///M5 being my first and still my favorite BMW ever.

I wanted to register an email as powerspeed1,as in my business but was already taken,so the alternative was powers1!:)

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Me no likey! :tantrum:

X5rolls

Rolls down the road fast while listening to rock n roll

I like it, I just hate change. First Thunder and now Juanted. For the love of God, please don't let mD change his screen name. I just won't be able to stand it. :rofl:

It's like when Jeff went from UCrewX5 to El Jeffe. :tsk: :iagree:

X Foomph is my version of incorrectly pronouncing "X5" in German. The german word for 5 (funf) is actually pronounced foonf.
It was a toss up at the start as I was very close to giving myself the tag 'Pistonbroke' (Pissed and broke [Pissed as in very drunk]) but obviously went with the other.

I'm a trend setter.

Yeah, that's it.


carry on.

Mudgts is one of my license plates.
the name mudguts is one of the bad bikers from Mad Max

I had a lot of motorbikes when I was younger and we used to like to think that we were badass.. we weren't.

Paint color for the rocker panels on the early E36's. It means dark gray and I always thought it sounded cool. So there ya go...

"And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously".

:thud:

Did killcrap even reply on this thread and mention how he came about his screen name?

Don't think so... we could all just speculate...!

I bought three new Vipers...

No more, I get a new BMW every 4-6 months, so I don't need the snakes. I loved them, but hated the attention. Funny, I didn't think it would be worse than the Ferrari was.

had this screen name since AOL 1.0 it wasnt taken yet , so i took it.
