Where did Your Screen Name come from....

[Jolie]

Jolie is short for my real name JoLynn. All my friends call me Jolie and it's on my car and now trike license plates. Years ago when I first got internet and I joined message boards I was leary about giving out my real name, Joly was already taken so I changed the spelling to Jolie and it's stuck over the years. My real name is mispronounced all the time but Jolie never is (thanks to Angelina Jolie lol).

 

[Bigg Papa]

I was a Independent Professional Wrestler for thirteen years. I was considerably older and larger than most of the other wrestlers and after a few years I became affectionately referred to as Bigg Papa, I guess I was kind of a father figure. Now most of my friends call me that, or some just call me Bigg or Biggun.

This is a very interesting thread as where, I always wonder about others train of thought for why they do certain things. Such as picking a screen name.

My screen name is an interesting one. I have to go back to when the internet was just coming together. I used to race rc cars and picked the name rcracer. As the internet became more and more popular. I went with a combination of my old name and added a few of my favorite numbers to it. I really like the number 5 and liked the sound of 757. I figured I should add 3 digits to make it easier to have that name available for anything I sign up for in the future. In hindsight it should have been at least 4 digits. Anyway, later on I wanted to have a more professional sounding screen name since, I was looking into someday owning my own business. I build websites for myself and tinker with ranking them in Google. This is why I had to go with my name and decided to keep the numbers. Seeing how I have a fairly short name it fit nicely.

That folks is how I became: markreed757

I believe that many things are possible if one is willing to work hard.

When I was 35 I made it my mission to learn to fly and get my instrument rating.

When I was 50 I decided to learn to ride a street legal motorcycle. After 2 Sportsters and 2 Road Kings I made it my mission to get a trike.

Now I am almost 67 and my mission is to enjoy my Freewheeler for as long as God blesses me with good health.

Mines kind of unimaginative. First letter of first name, last name, year of birth.

 

[Recall]

Mine came after being out of the Army for 11 years, I came home one day in 2003 and I had orders waiting. I was recalled to Active Duty in support of OEF/OIF, thus Recall.

[FRANKENSTEIN]

Most know me as STUMPMI... (Above knee amputee/stump from Michigan) from other forums I belong to..
However..
I chose "Frankenstein" here ... as My road king is being converted via a Frankenstein trike kit... Which is a super easy setup and looks like it belongs almost like a factory trike kit.

Its like a dresser on steroids! lol

Id post some pics of the work in progress...
However...
The uploads fail and I have no idea why...
Same with the avatar I want to use.
Most other forums load/resize them automatically to fit..(Not sure about here)

I'm using pics via my computer off my phone... and they still wont load...
So,
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Make the pics smaller than 2 meg and they should work fine.

[BOXX3R]

The two wheeled version of a Trike is often referred to as a "Bagger" because they have hard sided saddle bags on either side of the rear wheel, and some have a top box behind the passenger seat that provides additional storage.

The 3 wheeled trike does not have saddle bags but it does have a top box and a larger additional lower box for a whopping 6.8 cu ft of usable and lockable storage space.

Since it has two boxes I wanted the personalized plate....BOXX3R. Two X's for two boxes, and a 3 for the three wheels. Plus BOXXER was already taken

So far the DMV has denied my request due to possible cornfusion to a Police Officer I guess if someone robbed a bank and drove away in a van with the plates BOXXER a Police Officer may get me (on a Trike) confused with the guy in a Van down by the river. I am sending them an appeal.
