It was interesting posting out the Cape York Dvds.
Trying to relate members real names to their forum name had me thinking how they came up with it.
I know some members use their first name and my forum name is my surname let us know how yours come about.
I was going to use tripod but my wife said in my dreams. Go figure. :'(

Spent my teenage years in Byron, a surfie dude with very long hair, No not a hippie type, just a young bloke in the eighties with long hair. Moved to the Clarence valley, got to know a bloke in yamba called John as well. Rang him one day at his work, His boss asked who was calling, I said "It's Jon, He's mate from Maclean" He replied back "Oh Jon Hairs"and the real reason they call him HAIRS is everytime we all go camping a shy creature called a YOWIE makes an appearence....thus HAIRS.

My name is Jim, not much you can do with a name like that so managed to get through school without a nickname :laugh:. Then the boss and I sat down and watched the movie "The Whole Nine Yards" with Bruce Willis, Bruce's characters name is Jimmy. His Mafia boss in the movie is Jannie pronounced Yannie, now the boss isn't that smart and seeing the spelling of his name and how it is pronounced he calls Bruce Yimmiy all the way through the movie.
Fair to say the wife loved it and now to all the friends I'm Yimmy (thats alright her name is Louisa so you can guess that has been shortened to Weeza) :cheers:

It was a standing joke,whenever the radio-chatter was about some vehicle being bogged, everybody thought of me, dunno why?
When I was in civvy street, driving for country council, I called over radio I was bogged, well not exactly, I drove over this hump and all axles were off ground, like a giant see-saw, only a 10- tonne truck,up and down, swaying in the breeze, not going anywhere, it took our grader to pull me off the bump, bugger,bogged again.

hope you have a half hour to spare. My name is Peter. My father's name is Josef. He came from Czechoslovakia. In Czechoslovakia a nickname for Josef is Pepi. When I was a boy they used to call my father big Pepi and I was called little Pepi. And I have had Pepi as a nickname all my life. So hence my Swag name . Pep for me and Man for my wife Mandy. All confused.
When I think of Lil Pepe i think of this!!

Post by: terravista on July 14, 2010, 04:14:23 PM
See if you can guess which one is true.
1. I wanted to relate my forum name to my dream of looking at the astounding scenery while travelling our beautiful country, our Australian version of Terra Vista
Then I thought of cutting it back to TV, but thought people would think I was fixated with wasting my time watching television, so wanted to avoid confusion and decided to change it to TB because B rhymes with V, and if you say it fast, it sounds alike..
TB had connotations to the horrible disease with the same initials, so that thought was subsequently amended to CB to relate to communications with other vehicles while looking at our scenery.
I decided that CB was old technology so I slipped it to UHF, which signified newer technology, but some friends thought that UHF was long life milk, and that could get changed to cow juice.
Not wanting to be associated with mad cow disease, I wanted to relate it to a better class of animal, and looked at names like Werewolf.
I used to have books when I was a little tinker that featured Brer Rabbit and his gay pals, and thought that Brer was a bit too close to Were, so decided to head in another direction.
Recently, while driving on some slippery tracks with high falls from the side, the car slipped so one wheel went over the edge, and only the sidestep digging into the wet clay prevented us from plunging down a 100m drop.
I developed a bad case of the shakes and had the horrible feeling of terror looking over the valley far below, and thought that even though it was an intensely dangerous position, it was a nice view, so I adopted Terror View, and decided to use a version of that, but decided to make it a bit romantic by changing it to a Mediterranean name, Terra Vista.
2. The company I work for does a little bit of land development, and we registered the company as Terra Vista, so I use that email address for net surfing at work, and I can remember it easier.

Mine has evolved over the years. Only other forum that I frequented was EO and when I first started there I was Alpaca as it is loosely my name. Few people started to work out who I was so needed another name which became Al Symers because the brain cells aren't what they used to be. Forgot the pass word so needed an new Avatar. When typing, I'd often hit the wrong key and I would say to myself, "Bloody Dyslexia again" So became Des Lexic and have been that for a few years now. When people call me Des, I answer without thinking LOLOLOL
Good to hear from you Des, from another EO tragic

Mine came from a dog that was in a book by Robert G Barrett. It was an ugly but tough mutt and I loved the name. Originally it was a nickname for our first 4wd but it was also used for our second and current 4wd. Have used it for nearly 20 years and is great because it is not common and is rarely taken on the various forums I frequent.

Finally I was also told by an Aboriginal elder once of the true meaning of "going walk abouts" so I guess Im still on mine.......

Turning Crosswind in the Stearman. Just beautiful
The Photos of the Pitts and Harvard were taken at the RAAF Richmond Flying Club Fly-in in 2008. I am the president of the club there and we arranged for a number of aircraft to visit and I conducted joy flights in the Curtis Aviation Pitts Special on the day. Everyone had a ball and not one of my passengers was sick. The photos as you can see are simply awesome (the originals full size look even better) and were taken by my Glenn Alderton who if any of you are Warbird enthusiasts will know is one of Australia’s premiere aviation photographers. I know Glenn from work and we have shared a few too many beers at a number of airfields including flying days at the Temora Aviation museum. The other photos of the Stearman were taken by a friend of mine when I got to fly that aircraft in the States last year. The Piper Cub was also in the States and belonged to a good friend of mine. He was 6 ft 5 and weighed 290lbs and as we both couldn't fit in he just said take it for a fly. Unbelievably trusting.
I have flown the Harvard myself but not solo as they owners insurance won't allow anyone but the owner or a named instructor to fly it solo, but it is simply a beautiful aircraft to fly. I also fly a Tigermoth which is again simply beautiful on a Spring evening with the sun setting and the wind in your hair and the smell of fresh cut grass.
Anyway a rather lengthy post just to explain my user name! I guess you can tell it is indeed my passion and especially older aircraft, warbirds and antiques. I count myself very lucky to be able to fly some of these aircraft and cherish every moment of it and being able to share it with others.

Yeh dropped the 69 bit just in case i offended someone unintentionally. Their was no malice in the original user name but as per usual the minority spoilt it for the majority. Jeff was so far off when he made the complaint it's not funny. A member of that forum for 2 days, complained and moved on never to be seen again. Big man he was. It was made even funnier when another forum released member numbers and I got number 181. Ironic or issued by the mods not real sure, funny all the same once it was explained to me.

Mine has evolved over the years. Only other forum that I frequented was EO and when I first started there I was Alpaca as it is loosely my name. Few people started to work out who I was so needed another name which became Al Symers because the brain cells aren't what they used to be. Forgot the pass word so needed an new Avatar. When typing, I'd often hit the wrong key and I would say to myself, "Bloody Dyslexia again" So became Des Lexic and have been that for a few years now. When people call me Des, I answer without thinking LOLOLOL
Yeh, it got the stage where I wasn't sure what your real name was after I first met you!!! I found it just as hard to believe somebody could be called Al Paca (sic), just as much as Des Lexic...hahahaha.
Now I find that Dust Devil has also joined this forum as well....hell, they're leaving EO like rats deserting a sinking ship. ;D

Oh, And I have a VW Kombi T3 !!!
The Dub rules !!!!!!
CruisinDub.
Type 1 - Beetle
Type 2 - Kombi (all body shapes - tray back, camper, van, etc.)
Type 3 - Notch Back, Fast Back and Variant (i.e. 'Wagon')
Can't remember exactly when they changed, probably about the time they started lettingg liquids other than oil and fuel in their engines! :D

Correct, its Type 2, but a T3. Born 1983, 27 yrs young!
Its a T25 to be precise.
Without being pedantic in Europe they are commonly called a T3, to differentiate between the Splitty T1's, Baywindow T2's, the T4's and T5's etc.
Its the first of the WBX engines. 1.9 litre, DG engine. (water cooled)
Originally a Caravelle, before I put the home made interior together.
Would love an original splitty, bay , Samba etc, but too expensive and getting quite rare.

there are some real creative ones there.
i must admit i copied mine from a name of a small fishing boat that pulled up next to us at the traffic lights (it was being towed- lol). I was only about 10 and i didnt get it??? but thought the word sounded funny, i started using it, i even used to call people it ("ya fugwurgin"), i must have been a bit slow not to realise what it meant and the relationship of it being a name of a boat. Anyhow, thought it was clever and have used it alot for many things, even on other forums (one forum made me change it as they had got complaints by people who thought it was offensive).
anyway- back to reading more threads (my list of mods is getting longer and longer).
have a merry christmas all.

I also use another name on different forums. I took it on to reflect my life-change and new philosophy. It is an ancient name and I do not even know its exact meaning. It was given to me by an old hermit who lived on an asian mountain top. After many days of trekking I reached his lonely hovel to share with him and learn the secrets of his lifestyle and find meaning. After many months of living with him on his mountain top he broke his vow of silence to give me my new title. He said "You have travelled far to reach here. You have given up the comforts of your affluent lifestyle. You have chosen to live a life of denial here on this cold and windy mountain top. You have brought nothing with you and acquire nothing here. You are such a Wang Cur."

They are known for being good at hunting, tracking and surviving in the harshest South Africa has to offer.
If you have them on your farm, then you are very lucky. They will care for your farm as if it was their own. Good people.

As a teen it was Nat.
When I started at the fire station it was Natman (1989 & the 1st Batman movie had just released).
Now with the wife & family it's The Nats.

Post by: Mallory Black on November 16, 2011, 07:06:16 PM
When I was riding enduro bikes my mate would say "So where are we going to day Mal?" and I'd say "Well Mike, we're going to climb Honda Hill and then over to the crossing etc etc" that was the day's course and off we'd go racing for sheepstations along the way.
Someone else thought that Mallory would be better and that stuck.
Black was the other, my mate would order Pizza as Mr White and I would order as Mr Black because while my name is 100% Anglo it was amazing how many times people would stuff it up and call out some other name.
As it turns out there really is a Mallory Black out there (some chick in the US) but I was first with it in the cyber world so I'm keeping it!

Post by: UTE 701 on February 25, 2012, 09:12:31 AM
That way if anyone sees me anywhere , they know it's me .
But people ask why 701 .
Well that goes back to the days I used to follow the off road racing all around the country and do the photos and reports for all the magazines .
The various classes of cars that race are all recognised by their number : buggy 218 is a class 2 , 4x4 834 is a class 8 and so on .
But the top 3 placegetters in the championship for each class get to run their class number followed by 01 , 02 , 03 for the following year .
Class 7 is for the production 4x4's .
In my dreams this would be the class I would race and win .
But seeing that would never happen , I thought having 701 as a number plate would be the closest I would ever come to being the 701 driver !
My old friend , Les Siviour thought it was great when I did it . And he carried the 701 on his race car for alot of years .
Plus it's a quick way to find out those that are into off road racing .....
And ... the Smithy name was already taken .....

I say life in general!!....

Donuts because i love eating them. It s alleged that all coppers stuff their face with donuts but it's not true. After 23 years in the force I've seen a lot of overweight coppers but not from donuts. You may see the name fuji from time to time. I was given that name from an old bushytail Senior Constable 20 years ago and the name stuck. He saw that I had asian features and I told hime I was born in Japan. So there you have it.
Wayne aka fuji aka donuts
Donuts, I know a few coppers (my sister is one too), and doughnuts and free maccas isn't the reason a lot are overweight. The real reason is cos your all so good at bending the elbow ;D ;D The only group of people I've met who drink more than your lot are Venturers!! That being said, I haven't attended a Myswag meet yet ;D

I had a red back in the stick shift knob but it was glued on and I couldn't remove it when I sold the car. I liked it because it freaked a few people out.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCey_(vulgar)
Güey (usually misspelled as guey, wey or we; pronounced like the English word 'way') is a word in Mexican Spanish which is commonly used to refer to any person without using his name and applies equally to males and females (though it is more often applied to males). It is used in Mexican Spanish in roughly the same way "dude" is used in modern American English.[1] It is derived from the term buey, which refers to a castrated bull (an ox), used for meat, sacrifice, and/or labor (e.g. pulling plows and carts). Over time, the initial /b/ underwent a consonant mutation to a /g/, resulting in the modern güey. In Mexico this same word is used like an insult (can be a negative term like "fool" ), although, due to its extremely high frequency of use in a multitude of contexts, it has lost much of its offensive character, becoming a colloquialism.[2]
And yes since being married I feel like someone has me by the nuts....
