Forum usernames origins?

[Dr.Jun.Manabe]

Curious to as why members picked what their username is. I am sure some are self explanitory.
Post em up!

I'll start with mine, Dr. Jun Manabe was a crazy plastic surgeon and my favorite character in the gender-bender manga Pretty Face I was reading at the time that I had taken a liking to lol.

I think mine is self explanatory

[ozzie]

My last name's "Osgood", and "ozzie" was the best thing I could come up with when I went to sign up for my first email account...god, probably 20 years ago. IIRC it was "ozzie666@???" (I think it was Lycos? or maybe early hotmail), cuz I was totally a rebel I was in middle school at the time, and my class was designing web pages on geocities. I abandoned the email account years ago (too much spam, before spam filters were any good), but I've been using the username on forums ever since.

I don't know, might need further explanation.



For me, I've always been a fan of the Mega Man series and wanted a name for a collaboration duo that I started. So originally I liked the sound of ΣX after Sigma the villain and the X the hero. Later going through an algebra class realizing the use of the symbol Σ being the "sum of" decided to name our small duo Σ Projects since we had little direction and always just worked on everything. Man that was a while ago, lol.

[swan song]

Some say mine is from a mistaken reading of what the term "Celica" means. And whether that symbol is a dragon or a swan. (It IS a dragon). But contrary to popular internet belief, my codename refers to this being the last "tuner car" I do. This Celica is car number 37 for me (since 16! I'm 31 now!) The way I see it, by the time this Celica is finished I'll be an old guy, ready to move on to a LS400, or something that doesn't take wrenching. Thus, my Celica is MY SWAN SONG!!!!!!

I'll bet it won't be The secret to a mechanic's happiness is to have 2 cars: one you drive, the other you wrench on. And in theory they're never both down at the same time. Unless you're me, and then you've got 3 that are all down at once

Truth!

[corax]

I like crows and ravens.  Clever birds - they can use tools, count, and look out for each other within their groups.  The genus-species of the "common raven" is Corvus Corax.  In Norse mythology Huginn and Muninn are a pair of ravens that fly all over the world collecting information to bring back to Odin (kind of a throw-back to one of my previous careers, in a way)

fixed it for you.  I decided to go with one of each configuration (except FWD) - mid-engine RWD, AWD turbo, 4WD SUV/truck, and front engine RWD + the nice car, the is300.  The Lex, which my wife drives, is the only one which doesn't need some kind of work done.
