Mine's just a combo of my favorite metal bands, Iron Maiden and Rob Zombie. Was IronZombie but then got shortened, I'm a lazy typer .

Last few years in High School and Intermediate School I was really short, this year though I seemed to have grown 6" or more so I am not really short anymore at all but normal. The name is a classic though so it has to stay

When my hobby was fishing, my kids bought me a little sign that said 'Gone Fishin'. Now that I fly, I want a sign that lets people know where I am. Unfortunately, I spend a lot more time on the computer than I do flying.[:@]

It is a good thread though. I am glad so many people have added theirs.

Well, do you want the truth.... or a really good story?

My screen name is reminiscent of an incident in my childhood when I almost jumped a barbed wire fence.

Good luck,

Since I'm normally in the cube dungeon programming or playing with the ole dotted quads, I wanted a screen name that matched my job. That small part in the rear of the lifting surface that keeps things in check [8D]... and it sounded better than aileron

I subscribe to the "Keep It Simple" plan... My initials are RFB so, "justrfb" is how I derived my username [8D] .

Mine stand for Death From Above. I made a paintball bombing device in my first trainer and got picked up the name.

I was a Green Beret sniper in 'Nam and got tired of the handle I had on the old RCO so mine is just short for Green Beret.

I've had to share a number of computers.
I just added a Z to my name (Patrick) so my folder would be at the bottom of the tree and easy to find.

Mine comes from my flying style. I fly ok, but gettin 'em back on the ground is a bit of a challenge for me.

ifixairplanes came from my career choice. I am an airframe and powerplant mechanic and I work at Pease intl. trade port. I just can't seem to get enough of the damn things....work on them all day at work, come home and work on them all night. I think its an obsession.

I have been doing chatrooms/forums on the internet for years. As time went on, finding a name that wasn't all ready taken got harder and harder.

Being an Artist (Both Computer Graphics and Performing Arts), and because I now reside in Minnesota, I eventually started using "MinnArtist".

When I logged on to RCU, I changed it to "MinnFlyer"

I think mine is pretty obvious. JS are my initials, and 3 because my dad is JR and my grandfather is SR.

In college it used to be JJSIII but I've shortened it to JS3.

It's not very imaginative, I know.
