Why do you use the screen name you use?

[stryker-one]

I posted this in Artifacts because I figured this would make for a smaller and more pointed (pun intended) discussion--since a lot of this forum's names relate to artifacts.

So please moderator do not move it.

My name is Stryker-one for three reasons.

1. I work on aircraft (my 3rd career)--mostly big (skycranes) turbine powered helicopters that we use for forrest fire fighting and I live in an Airpark that has for it's eastern boundary a road named Stryker.

2. I overhaul piston engine ignition magnetos (as a sideline) in my hanger under the business name of Stryker Industries L.L.C. (I also have a website www.stryker-industries-llc.com) not advertising!

3. If I had another son I would have named him Stryker (the one I have is named Stetson) for some reason I like the name Stryker. I also will name my next dog "Jar". So perhaps I am a little different when it comes to naming things but it works for me.

These are the reasons I chose Stryker-one as my handle.

I mean some names will be obvious to us. If you all will respond it will make us a little closer--not touchy feely, just kinda in the know.

[SteveDodds]

My screen name comes from David Spade's character name in the movie Black Sheep. Steve Dodds is kind of an alias for me. Steve is my alter ego. If I go out partying I always use the name Steve. I was a bouncer at a bar and I would always use this name. Whenever I sign up for something online I quite often use this name. I even started practicing how to sign the name Steve Dodds. If some chick says to me Hi whats your name? I say my name is Steve. What people dont know aint gonna hurt em.

[Snowdragon]

I chose my screen name for 2 reasons. I love snow and I'm a very solitary person, by choice.

[stryker-one]

[Treasure_Hunter]

I have been hunting "treasures" for over 40 years, it just seemed appropriate to me. When I was strictly a point collector in the early 80's my handle on arrowhead sites was creekwalker, for the simple reason I walked streams and creeks looking for artifacts. When I got into metal detecting it became Treasure Hunter, it covers all aspects of my addiction.

[The Grim Reaper]

I chose mine because I'm a big dork who likes to fish. lol























I'm just kidding. I got the name from a Bill Engvall song of the same name and have just always liked the word. I had always thought about using it as a screen name, but just never did, but when I went to sign up here I just said what the heck and used it.

[Deuce777]

I am a lobsterman on the coast of Maine and fish out of a fisherman's co-op. About to 2 years ago a couple good friends of mine that I work with and around gave me the nickname Deuce, and it stuck! The sevens are because it's my favoite number and it took 3 of them to make the name work on this site. Not a real interesting story but all I got! Lol

[undertaker]

My screen name relates to my hobbies , bottle digging, artifact hunting, and metal detecting. When I find these treasures (under)ground I (take) them. Im sure if I had thought about it I could have come up with a better screen name.

[Neanderthal]

Well, you've done it. You talked my into changing my name on here. This one is so much more appropriate.

[JimBeHuntin']

Not very creative ... JIM (my nick name) Be Huntin (what I like to do with my metal detector) ... I wish I could do artifact hunting but it's tough in my area (swamps, big water, black dirt, no rocks) ... there have been a handful of nice artifacts found here over the years mostly in fields or along the shore line of the Albemarle Sound or Alligator River when the tide is out.

[stryker-one]

Yeah!! Thanks a lot folks. I knew we had some good reasons for picking our handles.

That is too bad Jim about your part of the country not having any good artifact hunting--I am beginning to think that might be the case here in Oregon (western part )

[Johnny X]

Haha mine has absolutly nothing to do with artifact hunting, but it does have something to do with my other hobby. Play guitar.

There are lyrics from a song that go something like this. "Johnny says he's bound by only six strings to this world, Johnny says he keeps them always one turn out of tune."

It's a pretty fitting song.

Thanks.

[luckyinkentucky]

For 1 reason.

I went deer hunting with an elderly gentleman last fall, and shot a 10 point buck at 150 yds. with open sights on my Marling 1895 guide gun in 45-70 Gov't. The kicker was that we had just sat down to get settled in, and he was working on loading his rifle. I startled him with a big BANG to say the least. We had only been there for less than 5 minutes. On the way to check out my shot he said ... "You have to be the luckiest guy in Kentucky. Opening day of gun season and 5 minutes in, and you shoot the deer we all wanted!" Later, I got to thinking about it ... I am pretty fortunate. I have a lot of things in my life happen like this. I can't explain it, but 'Luck' follows me everywhere I go. When I fish I always catch my fill of keepers. When I hunt I always bag my limit. When I rock hunt I almost always have at least 1 'caseable' point to show for the trip. I can't explain it .... I'm just lucky!

[Flintfinder]

Years ago I was talking to an elderly lady and I told her that I loved to go arrowhead hunting and find Arrowheads. She says Oh your one of those Flint finders, after thinking for a secound or two, I said Yes,&#160; Hmm I thought...... I guess thats what I am .... &#160; John&#160; &#160;

[Atlantis0077]

Morning,

I have always had a penchant for the esoteric. The story of Atlantis has always fascinated me and personally I believe it did exist in one form or another....many of the world's greatest "myths" had basis in fact. The 0077 is a phone number and had to be added to my hotmail address because plain old Atlantis was taken....it just carried over. I have used the handle Atlantis for many years...far before the Internet actually...long story...suffice to say it is my alter ego. 8)

Happy Hunting,

Atlantis
