Where Did Your User ID Come From?

Sometimes I read them and wonder, so I'm asking. I'll start. Mine is a combination of my kids names and one of my favorite words - "race"

I have wood.

It was my tag as a spray paint wielding teenager.

I am something of a Berkeley Breathed fan hailing back to the Reagan era.

I'm an {internet} ordained reverend, and my friends call me "Dexter".

Handle that I have used since junior high for online gaming (I think it started out as the name of a DnD character I was playing when Diablo came out) plus The Answer. Evolved into my standard online handle. Yes, I am a huge dork.

I founded two Siberian Husky rescue groups in the last 12 years, have rescued lots of Snowdoggies from the pound and currently have four of them at the house.

I also went to sled dog school at Winter Park, Colorado. I know how to mush.

name, Nick. favorite car, F40.

It's short for my full name - Justin. Yes, I know that's wrong, I've been going by it since I was six and have yet to care.

I have a 1960 Morris Mini Minor. You know, a real Mini, not that bloated German car.

Secretly, though, I also have a 2003 MCS, but it's going on craigslist soon.

Minnesota Diamond Star Motors. MN...DSM.... yeah you can tell what I cut my teeth on.

I had a 1989 Chrysler Conquest with a 351-W SBF swapped in.

My first name is Hessel. My friends call me Hess. At the dawn of teh intr4w3bz, y0, I used to sign my posts "Hess." When the M.D. came along, I changed that to "Dr.Hess."

<------

i like driving that.

That, basically. I used to rebuild toner cartridges for laser printers. There's two blades which move the powder onto and off of the drum: the wiper blade and the doctor blade.

I'll have to ask my parents.

If you mumble "Delmarva," where I live, or "tomorrow," when I'll get around to doing something, it sounds a bit like "dimarra."

...which is now what I call my Seven-inspired roadster. (Sounds better than the Procrastinator.)

In reply to Keith:

Okay, but make sure you get back to me.

Back in the heyday of the Fast & Furious / import performance scene, "Type R" stickers were being slapped on just about every Honda with aftermarket wheels here. I was autocrossing a stock Civic at the time. One day when someone asked what was special about my car, I said, "It's a rare Civic Type Q."

"What's a Type Q?"

"The one that came before the Type R"

Jim - J Thwaite - phonetically pronounced Thw-eight - Thw8

Neon, when I joined up I was getting my first neon. 4891, 1984, my birth year, backwards.

Initials. I'm boring.

Nervous Dog is one of my favorite record labels.

Years ago I was setting up a fake yahoo email to play a prank on a friend. I was trying to come up with an alias and spotted the restaurant menu on my desk at work. "House of China Restaurant" became Ho Crest...

Did the joke and sort of abandoned that email. A year or so later I was setting up a username somewhere and every variation of Dave Martin was taken, while trying to come up with an alternative I remembered "Ho Crest". Since then, I have never found this username taken on any other site that I have signed up for.

"House of China Restaurant" has since become "Christian Family Chinese Restaurant" and now an empty building, but "Hocrest" lives on.

berkeley you, shiny happy person, i ain't tellin' you E36 M3!
