How'd you get your screen name?

[ihatemybike]

My bike riding style is rather abusive to my bikes (not to mention me), so it kinda looks like I hate my bike.

[HPbyStan]

I've done head porting for more years than most of you have breathed air. One day about a hundred years ago I went to a motorcycle flattrack race and one of the guys I helped out had HPbyStan on his fender/seat and I thought "why didn't I think of that".

[SafariRob]

Well, my first M van was an 89 Safari and my first name is Rob. So I got incredibly creative and stuck the two names together--Taa-Daa! Thus did SafariRob begin posting to the old vmag site.
Although the Safari got the 305 transplant, it never got on the road due to its extreme rust in the unit body frame over the rear wheels. But an 89 Astro was available that needed an engine and soon the 305 was out of the Safari and into the Astro. However, I never saw the need to attempt a name change.

[Jboy2]

J= Jacob
Boy= Young Age

[Water Boy]

When I was delivering water one day, the customer wasn't sure who just enter their office she hollered out "is that you water boy?'
I just couldn't say no.
See my sig.

[thevalleyboy]

thevalleyboy - because back when I used to use BBS and early internet I was just a boy. I used to live in the Columbia River Valley in BC - Hence - thevalleyboy - boring....

[phr1$k37]

phr$k37 ... could have been phr$k370#

So how did I come up with my unique handle?
Well I was a dark lurker on the AS forums not feeling to comfortable to make my first post for over a year - also I had gone through a series of car accidents and different vehicles I was not sure where my ownership of vehicles would end up with. That being said I have always treasured all the childhood memories with our family 1986 GMC Safari SLE metalic blue with two tone copper trim, beige interior and a rebuilt bored 4.3L V6 which just hauled ass. So natural when it came time to sport my needs and a desired long lasting vehicle I ended up with my 1997 GMC Safari SLT AWD Maple Red truck. We often commented on how these vehicles ran like a dog, hard lasting forever and with never ending fun.

Frisket is a dog's name and I named our old GMC Frisket before it was smacked by a tow truck going 50kph in the lot and then reared by another truck the next day ... then the tranny blew on me >.<

So decided to make my handle on the forum Frisket but with a twist because well I am different and the likes to tease our resident blue boy who cannot understand just how sober and thoughtful I really was when I made up my forum name.

This is how you read / pronounce "phr1$k37":
phr = fur (fr)
1$ = ist (is)
k37 = kit (ket)
and the 0# would have been 03 for the year 2003.

So just for Peter ... fur-ist-kit ... that is how you say my handle ... as for spelling ... frisket ...

There is a little bit more to it but I dont want to confused the likes of Peter anymore.

[LiftedAWDAstro]

just because it fit...

[Kidhauler]

well I tried Reaper first as I use that name for on line first person shooter games. But since Sanj had already taken that name I thought why not Kidhauler since I bought the van to haul the kids around.

[wagonmaster]

Wagonmaster was easy for me to pick, MANY years ago...
1. Love old (and new) station wagons, always have. Owned several tri-five Chevy wagons and own a Dodge Magum R/T (or my wife Carole does, and she even lets me drive it sometimes) and my Astro LS, our third Astro and seventh van, overall. Her first car after we married was a '56 Chevy Wagon.
2. Always been involved with the bus industry in some fashion sin the early 70's. I now rune a fleet of over 1900 vehicle incuding approx. 900 school buses or "wagons".

Wagonmaster just seemed to fit.

[peter]

Jacob fathered 12 sons. ......
I say that anyone who has been adopted into God's family through the blood of Jesus is now part of the 13th tribe.

I was up for adoption when I was young. But the competition was soooo fierce. I never had a chance. The loving couple ended up choosing the gerbil instead....

[peter]

I just wanted to pi$$ Peter off.

Congrats! Mission accomplished
