Poll, again...

Today's poll question is: What does your screen name mean? I ask because some people here have the most bizarre screen names and I can't figure out what they mean.

For those of you that are new around here, my screen name was originally just Joel, back at Roadfly... One week I was home sick from school, so I had nothing better to do than sit at the computer all day asking questions about the X5. Lo and behold, in that week's Freaky Friday, PNG bestowed on me the nickname "Curious Joel"... It stuck.

Correction: I think my original screen name was actually JoelH1025, but that doesn't matter.

"Kaefer" means "beetle" or "bug" in German.

I lived in Germany for many years, and some 10 years ago, when I first started piddling around on the 'Net using AOL, I picked "Kaefer" for no other reason than I thought it was cute and uncommon. I've used it ever since. I no longer have AOL, but I do still have "Kaefer" as my AIM screen name, and I still use it for just about all the bulletin boards to which I subscribe.

Heck, CJ, that should be your next poll: What bulletin boards do X5 World members currently subscribe to or participate in?

Here are mine:
- X5 World
- Sea Ray Owners
- Howard Forums
- Mac Addict
- Mac World

gojira-san comes from my love of watching Godzilla movies (gojira-san in Japanese) When I bought one of my trucks (Chevy Avalanche) my son thought it was big as Godzilla so a name was born. I use it mostly on the car/truck forums.
