Bad draft off a C-130, went for a ride......The rest is history.

I thought that maybe it was from when you first came out of boot camp and the old salts would send you down to the maintenance hangar for 5 gallons of propwash, or a hundred yards of flight line, or............

Hehehehehe....Definitely heard of those pranks, fortunately never fell for them. I did coax a greenhorn weapons guy to go grab the keys out of the jet. He was looking for longer than I could have ever hoped for. Good times..Good times!

 

[Cornpatch MO]

Back when I was trucking and CB radios was first popular, The area where I live (Iowa) was called the "cornpatch" I have lived around here near all my life and love it ---except for Winter! My handle on another website is MOPAR TO YA and I always sign off with "MO" Very few Mopars around here, but I am mighty proud I have a couple of them...........................MO

Mine is easy. All my Mopars through the years were bigblocks. If it had a SB,I remedied the "problem"quickly. LOL

Fun times. The newbies at work used to get asked for stuff all the time. "Go up to the office and ask for your Christmas turkey". "Hand me a left-hand pipe wrench". Go to the tool room for a metric Crescent Wrench". "Go get a bucket of steam".

One time a fresh wet-behind-the-ears guy actually did walk into the office and asked for his turkey. The office girls took pity on him, said they were just out but come back after lunch. They went out and bought one for him. Everyone was stunned when he showed off his Christmas turkey...

[HYRDGOON]

HYRDGOON (Hired Goon) came from working as a nightclub doorman (or bouncer) for many many years... when I worked in Toronto the ownership group had several clubs and whenever one of them would get particularly rough there were 4 of us that worked as sort of a roaming goon squad where we were more or less told to make an example out of anyone that gets too out of line so it settles down... after a while I knew when one of these calls would come in so I'd answer the phone "Hired Goons" When I "retired" from the nightclub scene the guys that worked for me got a HYRDGOON license plate made and that's what's on my RR.

 

[67possible]

Mine is because I want to do everything that people say can't be done.
"Can't run a predator on a street engine"
"Can't drive a tunnel ram on the street"
That sort of stuff.

 

[BumperMan]

I run a business repairing bumpers for dealerships so they do not have to replace bumpers on the vehicles they purchase to sell. I do not do rechroming I just take the dents out and straightened if it's warped. That's why I call myself the BumperMan

 

[coronet340]

I bought a 67 coronet with a 340 in it. made my name 3 days after buying the car before I had a clue about Mopars. oh wait, I still dont. lol

[Photon440]

Back in the 80's I went by a number of names on local bulletin boards with a dial up 300 baud modem. I was sixbarrel to start, then LiquidCrystal, then Photon. After the internet got popular, I found 'Photon' was taken on some boards, so added the 440 after it. Nobody else has used that name yet.

Picked it up doing wheelies on my Wide Glide HD
