How did you choose your user name?

[taz_rocks_miami]

Some times when I read posts, I wonder how we pick our user names.

In my case, Taz is my nick name in real life. I got it cuz I have the same appetite and bad temper as WBs Tazmanian Devil...and just as handsome

rocks_miami, well I did when I was there!

And you?

I was wondering how you came about your username! You saved me the trouble of asking.

I chose mine because I own a '76 Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine with a 500-cu.-in. engine. (And a '69 Fleetwood Brougham.)

Tasmanian devils weren't that ferocious, but people only realised that when they were extinct. (The last one died in captivity in the 1930's)

Henk used to be my password on the office computer system of the company I used to work for and which had to be refreshed every six weeks. So it became H1,2,3, and it was four when I joind the forums. (for those interested, my very first password there was:kutmetperen.

I've been asked a few times before about my name. Quite simply, it's a name I picked years and years ago mostly to be original (ie. as opposed to some lame internet name like coolguy127 ). The name has carried through 4 forums now, this being the only one I post on anymore. My name also represents a favorite holiday intoxicant.
