how did you come up with your screen names

[peterpan]

my name is ray but my screen name is peterpan i chose pan because peterpan is my hero i don't ever want to grow up second star to the right staight on til morning

i know this is not hbody stuff but i thought it would be interesting to know some names are easy to figure out some have real names in them and some have cars in them but some are different and some i don't even know how to pronounce

[ColinOpseth]

I don't have a very good imagination.

I used my name.

[bugdewde]

I'm a VW Bug dude at heart..........

Hence, bug - dewde (pronounced 'dude')

When registering for e-mail several years ago, the address "bugdude@xxxx" was already taken........ so I opted to modify the 'dude' portion with my initials D.E.W. and made it 'dewde'.....

Some folks pronounce it "bug-doodie" much to my dismay.

[ColinOpseth]

You like bug-doodie?

My favorite monza that I had in 1985. I am currently restoring the same model car, thinking it will be some sort of a time machine for me to get back to 85...

[barebonesracecars]

This is interesting.

Dwight...I thought it was bug-doodie, as well. Thanks for the grammar lesson!

Ray...Didn't you once post that you were a heavy equipment operator? (I thought I saw a pic once)...just figured your name was Pete.

Mine came from back when we were circle track racing. We were standing around in the shop one day, and a comment was made about the class we were running in (Pro-Stock). The rules were strict enough that we were always looking for ways to stretch them to our advantage, but basically we had to run a stripped-down factory chassis with a limited amount of aftermarket suspension upgrades. Somehow the term 'bare bones' was thrown out. We'd been looking for a team name for a long time, and it stuck.

Just used the same name I had on the EZ Board and on Yahoo. It was my original Yahoo email account and I just stuck with it for ease of transition.

'fyrftr' - It's my occupation, sound it out, you'll get it!

and '50' is just part of my original badge number ('fyrftr' was already taken as a yahoo account so I added a couple numbers).

I'll get back out to Wyoming again. I've got a buddy in Pueblo, CO.

Drove through WY on my way home from Yellowstone a few years ago....it was my favorite state. But windy! Thought it was going to blow the camper over a few times. I asked a guy at a fuel stop if the wind was always like that...he looked at me and said, "This is Wyoming".

Went through Cody, Greybull, Sheridan, and Gillette on the way to Custer, SD.

[peterpan]

i just found the icon guys they are cool
ya the wind blows alot here but not all the time today is actualy calm

[ColinOpseth]

I've been considering Wyoming.. I'll start a new topic for that one, though..

Hey Carl
Toronto Fire doesn't have any Pierce apparatus, as far as I know, older trucks are mainly Macks and Superiors with a few White and American LaFrance thrown in for good measure but a lot of E-ones and Spartans are being added to the fleet now.

Show in Indianapolis???
Are you refering to the World Police/Fire Games held there a few years back? If so, I didn't make it, I tried out for Toronto Fire's 'A' team (hockey, of course, I am Canadian afterall) but, unfortunately, I was the last goaltender cut. Close but no cigar.
