    I chose mine because all our vehicles (except for my MR2) are off road vehicles. We have a 75 Toyota Landcruiser, a Diamler Ferret Military scout vehicle, a single buggy offroad racecar, a dirt bike and two ATV's. And of course the VX!

    well, since everybody else is doing it...here's mine. I only wear shorts, hardly ever shoes, I'm in a visor 99% of the time, I live near the beach, I bleach my hair, I surf, and I think I know everything! I'd rather be sitting in the tropics sucking down a margarita while listing to Jimmy Buffett. Somehow the nickname (cowboy) just doesn't seem to work!

    After like 4 months of looking for a vx, I finally found one. The same night I did a 7 hour round trip to boston to pick up mine, I signed up to this site and in my excitement I accidently filled my full name into the "username" spot.. So I'm now known as Francesco Rizzo

    Child's Play

    I got mine from "Childs" = Last Name and Play (NO, not the movie with Chucky!). This was the headlines that the newpapers used to use when I played High School Football. My girlfriend also says it fits me, because she says that I'll never grow up, even though my toys keep getting more and more expensive!!! Just bought an 04' SVT Cobra! Man will this thing haul a**!

    This is a most excellent thread..

    My nickname comes from a very beloved pet named Freckles. When she was way up there in age, she would nibble at your fingers thinking you were gonna give her a treat. While watching the movie "Cave Man" with Shelly Long and Ring Star, the part where the T-Rex was chasing the actors and the actors kept turning around yelling "moncha, moncha!" was on,Freckles was chasing my hand wanting something to eat and I yelled out, "moncha, moncha!" The nickname stuck for Freckles. Since then, dear Freckles has passed on to the great meadow in the sky.

    After seeing the VX for the first time, my wife, Laura said the VX's front end looked like a monster, leading me to say "moncha, moncha!"... Well, THAT stuck and since then I've been known as Moncha.

    Here's the kicker, later, we found out through some spanish speaking friends, in slang terms around our parts, moncha means little spot or freckle... Go figure!

    Now you all know my deepest secret!

    I've always been a bit of a history nut, and I particularly like the old Greek and Roman stuff. I used to visit a website where everyone had names along those lines. No one was using Heraclid, so I did. And the rest is history.

    The term refers to one of the Heraclidae, or "sons of Hercules". Originally they were members of the Spartan royalty who claimed direct descent from the mythical hero. Though eventually banished and persecuted, Greek legend had it that one day these descendants of Hercules would return.

    As Mycenaean culture waned on the Peloponessian peninsula, that area experienced an influx of tribes from adjacent areas. Interestingly, these outsiders spoke a decidedly insider Greek dialect. This dialect had its origins in the central Greek city of Doris, and so these people came to be called Dorians. The so-called "Doric Invasion" represented a monumental shift in Greek history and ushered in the Iron Age there. Because of their language, many said the Dorians were in fact the returning Heraclidae, and so the terms Heraclid and Dorian are practically interchangeable.

    TDAWG i am pretty sure everyone can figure it out. T=Tony and DAWG=Dog.
    I got the name from my brother when I was a kid. He told me that everytime he saw me get into a fight I was like a pitbull locking his jaw on something and not letting go. So the name stuck ever since. 36 yrs later and I'm still the same. Once I get a hold of something I don't let it go.

    well my call sign here is HeepOwner be cause I own a Jeep wrangler, but I found this site after meeting a few of you at attica during faters day last year (2004) and met Yal^ at a run that I put on in attica in august for all 4 wheelers of any make or model. But my real call sign is JayChains, I get it from being a Tow truck driver here in St. Louis MO. and my name is Jason so it just fits. I will have run info up soon for the next run to attica in august entitled The Mad Russian's Electric Chain Link Fence Run #3.

    Transio was the name of my short-lived transportation software company. I've used the handle for years - on 100+ forums and other online services. It's just something that's easy for me to remember. I've recently had thoughts about reviving the company.

    I used to use Cat Splatter when I was younger... it was based upon an idea I had for a video game called Cat Splat. I still own www.catsplat.com

    Another handle I'm beginning to use is Essinem. My initials are SM - and I was thinking of making www.essinem.com my homepage a la Eminem. I dunno, what do you guys think?
