caddyshack Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Back in my younger days a couple of people commented that " I looked like that fellow in the movie Caddyshack". And it happened a few time at various car shows and other events. Having a 1904 and a 2004 Caddy in the garage just kind of fit also. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avgwarhawk Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) My handles is one I have used since the first emails were sent over the internet. AVGWarhawk. As a young man I had great interest in WW2. The history just before the US entered the war and everything there after. In my readings of the Flying Tigers(my love of the P-40 since I was 7) my handle was born. (1st)AVG(American Volunteer Group) Warhawks(the P-40 that they flew). Some ask what does average warhawk mean? Just one or two get it. One being the fella that rebuilt my vacuum wiper motor. When I spoke to him he said, "That email is the American Volunteer Group yes?" It most certainly is. Edited September 12, 2019 by avgwarhawk (see edit history) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Carl Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) What a cute little panther ! We used to have one. His handle was Andy. Sandy and I saved the little guy when we stopped at the rest stop in Quincy, WA. We were Southbound, headed to Portland from North central Washington. He was just a baby, all alone, and scared. I heard him crying very loud, and called out to him. He came running and jumped up into my arms. We were traveling with another cat, and the two of them became best friends instantly. Of course we never knew how little Andy came to be stranded there, and he never knew how close he came to being lofted away by a big bird, or being munched by a 'yote. I wish I could have a cat now. - Carl I just remembered I have some pictures of a friend's little she panther. She is very small and friendly. Said to be ferocious, and totally fearless in the face of large menacing monsters. I don't know anything about that, but I sure liked her curled up on my lap.

alsancle Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) I'm bringing this back to the top because I was staring at some user handles wonder where the bleep they came from. Maybe I'll luck out and they will post the answer in this thread. Mine is on page 1. I get a lot of guys saying "Al's Uncle" for some reason. I guess the "a" looks like a "u" if you look quick. June 1996 my brother and I took contract programming jobs together in Lowell Mass. All the work was being done on Solaris based computers and standard operating procedure was 8 character usernames. Typically first letter of first name + 7 characters of last name. Alphonse and Andrew conflict so they used the first 2 letters of our names + 6..

TAKerry Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Before I knew you, I would see your post and think Als Uncle, LOL. The first forum I joined was for Trans Ams. Before I had that car I had no idea what a forum even was. Believe it or not I dont do a lot of computer time. When joining they asked for the username. I had no idea what it was and thought about it for awhile to come up with something cute and something I would remember. I didnt know you could simply use your own name! Then for some reason I used a different one for each forum I had signed up for. I kind of abbreviated it for the AACA. TA(Trans Am)Kerry(my first name). 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I missed this one first time around too. Some interesting stories behind the screen names. The "rocket" part of mine is easy; I'm an Oldsmobile guy. The "raider" is a little more obscure. My 2d and 3d great grandfathers were in a Confederate infantry unit known as the "Border Raiders". I've used "58thndy" in some groups. That's for the 1974 Hurst/Olds which was Pace Car for the 58th Indianapolis 500. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Surprisingly I have yet to buy a Packard anything. Not for the sake of not looking, just the stars never aligned. Lots of other neat cars I would own as well. As you can see from the pic, I've limited myself to mostly prewar. (sort of) That really narrows it down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfudd Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I'm an old (87 and counting) fudd with old (pre-World-War-One) cars. When I write stuff for the Horseless Carriage Gazette, I use Gil Fitzhugh the Elder. When I got back into the hobby after being away from it for decades, my son (also Gil Fitzhugh) was actively into cars. We have different middle names, so we're not senior and junior. I picked the GFtE handle so people reading the Gazette could tell us apart. Now my son has adopted a cruising sailboat and is essentially out of the car hobby, but I've kept the "elder" affectation because that's how Gazette readers know me. Besides, it becomes more appropriate every year! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like there won't be any new Swimsuit issues or any other issues for that matter, they laid off almost all of the writers this past week. The talk Friday on the NYC sports radio station is that they are closing their doors. The commentator pointed out that the Super Bowl to them is like Christmas to retail stores, and they did not get the expected advertising revenue for the upcoming issues, and they were gasping for air financially going into it. I don't know if it is fact or just an observation, but it made sense to me. Another printed media casualty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
