What Is The Story Behind Your User Name

How 'bout we all just say: "Ya got that right, Kilroy!"

:devilgrin: :jester:
 
And who is this Jack guy that I don't know?
 
I figured that when I got the barn find TR4 back on the road (happened about 3 months later) I would be re-living the experience of my TR4 and TR5 daily drivers back in the 70's.
 
At the risk of unintentionally "Hi Jack"ing this thread - I don't know who Jack is, but if he helped you off your horse, would you help Jack? <oh I DIDN'T just type that, DID I?> :laugh:
 
I was named after my Dad who was named after his dad, who was named after his uncle. Why mess with perfection, uh, I mean tradition. :devilgrin:
 
hmmm... that tradition woulda seen me as either Giovanni or Chimquistabendicook... :jester:
 
So, Kenny, what'cha gonna name the kidlet?
 
Morgan Cassidy...

Kenneth Leroy Pinkerton IV seemed a bit too over the top for a girl. :jester:
 
huh?!?!

..I thought it MUCH better'n "Dweezle". :devilgrin:
 
So "Dweezle" ain't gender neut-ral?!?!



Wow.



"I'm a walkin' talkin' bait-box."
 
Well mine started back in 1999, when I first moved to Atlanta, and my parents bought me a computer so I could keep in touch. At the time everyone used AOhelL, and I wanted to transfer my screen name that I had under my parents account to my own account (REDFLAGT5). The basic answer I got from AOL was, "No can do, an tough cookies." So since I had just turned 21, and I was enjoying my newly found freedom to try alcohol while going through this process, I was running out of ideas for names to try. Finally I reasoned that I work for Delta Air Lines, so I can use part of that for a screen name. That's where the DeltaAir part comes from. The 423 is the last three digits of my employee number.
 
Here are my cars, reflections of each other, 40 years apart.

Monark is from my name siMON clARK - sort of like Cosworth, Ilmor, etc. 192 was the model of a sailboat I owned at the time (Oday 192) when a website required both letters and numbers in a username.
 
Moseso: A contraction of Moses Oakland a stage name that I have long used as a performer of music.

Moses is a high school nickname (Abe (Lincoln) also saw some use) as I was the second person in living memory at that school to grow a beard, as a senior in 1967. The first guy actually produced a doctors letter claiming a skin condition made shaving undesirable. This was San Francisco in 1967 -- hippies everywhere -- so the school administrators threw up their hands and decided they had more important things to do than hassle me about my hair and beard.

Oakland, CA is where I did my blues apprenticeship, hence, Moses Oakland.

My mom & dad named me Leonard Shapiro

Herself's is an anagram of her name.
