Screen names
 

Hi guys, thought it would be interesting to hear the story behind everyones screennames here on OSO. Some are very self explanatory, others tough to figure out, so how did you pick your screen name?

Got mine due to boating with my 5 yr old nephew, who every time we went on the boat had so much fun going fast, as soon as we got on the water, no wake zone or not, he would start screaming "go fast Scott, go fast Scott". He would keep this up, screaming at the top of his lungs, until we took off, and then would start jumping up and down he was so excited. Every time we got back in to a no wake zone it would start all over. I think we have a future offshore racer in the making!

Let the stories roll!

My former boat was a 42 Cig Tiger with Dry Exhaust. Loud as f@$k!

CIAOderHEAD
 

Pronounced. Chowderhead....

Ciao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word ciao is an informal Italian verbal salutation or greeting, meaning either "hello", "goodbye", "bye" or "hi".

Head - 60's - 70's slang for party animal, freak, kinky...

Loosely translated....."Later Freak"

I affectionately say it to my GF each morning when I leave for work.:evilb::evilb::evilb:

Mine started as a nick name from grade school. Last name is Underwood=Underdog. (AKA Underwear, Underwood Deviled Ham...) Raced Motorcross as #88 as a kid, then 20 years drag racing motorcycles using that number whenever I could(except my last 2 years wearing #1 :) ) My business was/is named Underdog Racing.

Along time ago, when we used cb radios we were listening to a truck driver on the radio and when I went by him he said to another trucker that boat has twin screws. I was pulling a 29 Fountain with 454's.

Verbi is the start of my last name and 69 was the year I was born...

Used to be LIMNATR, when I had my Eliminator, changed it to FRMULTR, when I bought my Formula. I shortened everything up to fit on my license plates.

Many years ago I got into trouble for sending "non-business" type email at a former place of employment. I was the unofficial social director at the plant, and everyone was mad that I couldn't send out party notifications anymore.

There was a relatively new internet hosted email called Hotmail coming out, so I set up an account and started sending the party emails from there. I looked at it as "a new way" to send out the emails, so anewway was it was. Been using it ever since.

Racegirl .... cuz I am (:D) and 3 cuz ... well ...
1. I knew Junior wouldn't always have the 8
2. There already is someone else registered as racegirl
2. I couldnt do a 1 (at the time was Steve Park) or a 2 (at the time was Rusty Wallace) so 3 seemed the obvious choice .... associated with a legend and unlikely to ever be associated with another driver

Have a "CNC" shop

I love riding/restoring the old Husqvarna dirtbikes.
It's a screen name thats seldomly taken on the boards.

Because of my Corvette

Self explanitory...have owned 5 Fountains.

Name is Bob, profession until my semi retirement was home building. I tell my grandkids that I am the REAL Bobthebuilder. :)

'Cos when I got my Fountain I didn't know chit about boats. Still don't, total rookie :)

17 because it was my racing number for many years until I got smart enough to stop spending my own money on race cars and spend other people's money on them instead.

Now I have a boat thats almost as expensive to keep as my race cars and race bikes were.

Lol... some of us never learn. Maybe I'm just not very bright... :lolhit:

Back in 1997 I bought my first Powerquest, and wanted my lic plates to say it. So we ended up with PWRQWST on the lic plates and it has stuck with all the web sites I am on as well.

I have owned 3 Powerquest's so far a 24, a 29, and a 38 and have enjoyed them all

...because we have lots of fog around here......:D

All the boats I have owned have the same name, that way I can remember and find them at the dock.....:lolhit:

I am Stephen Jones.

Smarty Jones the race horse is from the Philadelphia, I live right by Philadelphia, I am an attorney, hence people started calling me Smarty Jones, aka Smarty (a few people, not many)

My name is David and I'm a Florida Gator fan! Easy enough...

When I bought my 22’ Progression with a Mercury outboard modified by Diamond Marine, I just couldn’t think of a proper name for it. Then one day somebody at the dock suggested that the motor was simply too big for the boat. (Never happen!) But, it got me thinking. Since it was a loud, snarly 2 stroke outboard, I put the two thoughts together and came up with the name on the boat – which became my screen name.

Apache came from the boat I owned when I joined OSO. 727 is the area code in Saint Petersburg FL.
