Time to reintroduce yourselves - How did you get your forum name?

[spinroch]

Let the spinroch tales begin!

[rca987]

Mine didn't start here, but it's here now.

I was watching tv (RCA tv) and had my fingers resting on 987 for some reason...

It was just one of those times when every 'cool' name is taken so you start looking around the room you're in.

[Sirscrapalot]

LOL

The force is strong with this one.

Sirscrapalot - Amused.

[Patriot76]

Just wanted to bump this thread to see if anyone else was willing to share.

[ParkerFlyer4]

The other love of my life is playing guitar. My guitar is a "Parker Fly"
The 4 is random.
I also named my kid after the guitar. His name is Parker.

[BigJon]

Nothing too creative here. It's been my nickname since I was younger. I was 6ft tall by 15 and my name is Jon so it just stuck with me and carried over from there.

This was an awesome idea for a thread though. It's kinda cool to see everybody's reasons behind their name

[SparrowMetals]

My forum name is simply the name of my company. It was the first idea that came to mind for a screen name, so I went with it. I belong to a few non-metal related forums, and have a different screen name for those. This is the only place I'm SparrowMetals.

[Patriot76]

Just wanted to see if anyone else out there would share how they came up with their forum name. I personally enjoy the creativity of members and this gives members more insight into who is out there. Please share.

[Ewasted]

Electronics Wasted
Ewasted... with a website name CashForComputerScrap.com, how creative do you think I am

[sawmilleng]

I'm in the same corner as Ewasted....

Sawmilleng....unhh, I spent 30 years being a sawmill engineer. I still are one! D'oh!


Jon. Just a boring engineer.

[webuyselltradestuff]

umm...it is the name of my company that I do electronic recycling and other things under.

[CTSSolutions]

Well I like having solutions to problems.

From Crap To Scrap - I want to be the one called first to solve a problem.

It's what's on my business cards so I guess it'll stay for a while...

That is original and your story makes the thread worthwhile.

[Flinthills]

Well, I first used Flint Hills in conjunction with my antique business, Flint Hills Finds, "If you want it, I'll find it" and of course most all Kansan's are familiar with the Flint Hills which run through the state and are the place of my residence. If you want to see flat, I'd like to suggest Florida. Just because Palm trees grow like weeds and you can't see the horizon doesn't mean it isn't FLAT, as in ______________________________

[pawpaw]

my granddaughter was my little scrapper till she was 4 when she told me pawpaw u don't play enough and you don't pay enough. and she was going to slow down on scrap work

wish I had a video of my little scrapper today we came across a move out on the way home from town , boy she was scraping with a lot of excitement. pawpaw why these people throw all this stuff away. I told her I guess they moved and didn't want it anymore,and that one mans junk was anothers treasures
she said well pawpaw there sure is a lot of treasures here, cant wait till she comes back over so we can go through our finds. im just going to unload and wait for her help. it was fun watching her check out the bags and try to get them to the truck

[trashpicker]

I couldn't believe trashpicker was available when I submitted it! I get about half of my scrap from the side of the road. I only actually drive my own neighborhood on the day before trash pick up. Otherwise I try not to make any special trips, but I always keep my eyes open.
The other half or more comes out of my business. We provide maintenance of rental properties and some kitchen and bath remodeling.
It's incredible how much stuff you can come up with by just passing attention. I get about $5k per year average.

[tpd139]

tpd stand for my initials and 139 stands for my address. nice and simple and i used it for all my accounts

[dapper scrapper]

On the way to a wedding 15 years ago, I pulled over on the shoulder of the highway to pick up a rusted off cat on the side of the road while in suit and tie. Wifey hollered it out the window and stuck ever since. Seems unoriginal now after watching reruns of that scrapping reality show. Should have copyrighted it!

[Patriot76]

Just wanted to bump the thread with hopes that present members will add to the history of the forum.

[t00nces2]

Ok, I'll add. I delivered pizza for Dominos in the 80's and we drivers would party at night and watch SNL. They had a skit, Toonces the driving cat. Well, my name being Todd, I got the nickname Toonces the driving cat. When I got a computer in '95, I needed a screen name for AOL. Toonces was taken t00nces was taken. Toonces2 was taken. t00nces2 was not. I have used t00nces2 for just about everything since.
