Nothing wrong with being original, Nathan.<br /><br />I, too, was born with it.<br /><br />Some folks want to protect their privacy. I respect that, too.

Fishbuster has been a nickname of mine from the first Ghostbusters movie. I am sure you can guess what it refers to and Peter is my first name because for some reason just plain fishbuster was taken.

My son (youngest) gave me mine. Suppose cause I work on so many outboards. My name really is Jim. He also bestowed she herselfs nickname, mudcatmary cause all she catches is cat fish. Her name really is Mary. And every one knows how Spinner Bait got his (Bubba). It were the aleuns what gave it to'im.

Fell and scooped up some mud while in college. Of course, beer had nothing to do with it. It has stuck along with the mud. One of my four or five nicknames that have been given ans stuck with different people including Big Dog, Niel (Pronounced Ny - L), and others I would not post.

Quicksilver has always just been in my family I guess, it was my dads CB handle and then people just started calling me that on the cb when I got my first radio, the DJ part of it came about when I started DJing at a local nightclub and most of the people that came in there knew me from the CB club.

On all the other boating forums my name is <br />11 footer after my 1975 11'whaler. I did not use that name here because I saw that there was a 12 footer, So I used my first name with the first letter of my last.
