Mines just me. Been around on the BBSs and online for way too many years to worry about people having my name.
The pic is of my newest Doxie rescue named Sunny. Why is he wrapped in tin-foil? To protect him from them gubbermint rays that control your mind and your thoughts and see through your eyes. This was originally set up many years ago with my first doxie rescue (Buddy.. no... I didn't rename either of them, they came with those names) when I got into the nether nets on conspiracy theory and people wearing tin foil hats. I had said that it wasn't enough for you to put on a tin-foil hat, but you had to also put one on your pets, or else the gubbermint would direct their rays at them and spy on you via your pet's eyes and ears. And thus, a meme was born.

lol. I have an 1990 Audi Quattro Coupe. I use that name on about 10 different forums, mostly car forums. Just keeping it simple.

Man, I love those! Last couple times I've been down to cars and coffee, there's been a UR there.

I was looking for a UrQ, when I got the CQ. Couldn't find a Alpine White UrQ, so I got a Alpine White Coupe. You go to the SoCal Euro gatherings?

I grew up with 4 or 5 other "Jeff"s so when I was choosing handle/email/alias back back in 92 I wanted something that was my name, but a previously unheard of spelling:

Dge- Fudge, Ridge, Pledge "J" sound
Ph- "F" sound
Ri- really poor but suitably confusing "EE" sound

Most of my LAN gang like to annoy me by saying it "Deee-Jeffree"

What an interesting thread! I love hearing where the names come from.... And yes, I also like to look at peeps vaction pix, and various pic albums.... I just find it fascinating the joy people show when they are showing pictures - and their descriptions - of their adventures....

My screen name comes from a childhood nickname... At 6 years old, my friend's mom had a carmengia and would put us in the "back seat"... Well, there is not back seat in a Carmengia... and we got to where we were going, she would stand there saying, " hurry up Turtle, get on out!" And it would take me a while to crawl out... So, from then on, she called me Turtle...

To this day - 42 years later... She still calls me Turtle... And I'm still friends with her daughter who is my best friend - we talk every day....
617... Yep, it's my bday....
