What do your names mean/why chosen?

Run into some old friends from another group or board? Want to do a little schmoozing, talk over old times? Or just some off topic stuff, then this is the place.

My screen name began life as an AOL screen name. I wanted to just use DeeEss, but it was already taken, so I added my birth year. And Dee Ess are my initials spelled out.

My nick is my intitials, SP, then "dolphs" because I am a Miami Dolphins fan. HOWEVER, I am also a Vikings fan, and most of my best friends are die hard Vikes fans too. I use spdolphs on most forums I am at, and it is easy to remember because it was the name of my first email account...long long ago.

I suppose I could be spvikes, but it doesnt' sound right. :lol:

Enrage was the gun-barrel name of the first tank I ever served on at Ft. Knox.

Mine is self explanatory.

My name comes from the name I use on ShelbyForums.com where I am a moderator. I figure I would use the same name everywhere just in case someone who knows me show up over here.

I went through my basic training at Ft. Knox. Have some very good and bad memories...mostly good though.

Same here. I can't remember anything too terrible but I did OSUT rather than BCT-AIT so I also had it easier than the guys at the 46th.

I get tired of the name quite often but am stuck with it.
Come on now, Big Trouble in little China is not a good "bad movie". It is absolutely GREAT. I love that movie.

Its one of my favorites, one of the funnier action movies around. The story and line deliveries are just ubsurd, hence why I call it a bad movie. I also don't call many movies genuinly "good," so many movies get that label from me. I mean that label as more of a guilty pleasure. Not something I would acclaim but love.

Its not at the level of so bad its good, where its entertaining because of its lack of quality a la "Over the Top" or "Snakes on a Plane."

Yeah, I bought it 20 years ago when I was 19. I sure could not afford one today. Luckily I have managed to hold on to it over the years.
