What does your username stand for?

[SS MAYFLOAT]

Re: What does your username stand for?

Mine? It started with a steel hulled 2 man rowboat(at least that is what it was regeisterd as). Prior to purchase, someone had put a 18hp evenrude on it. With numerous holes in the hull and a new mig welder she got patched up. The question in the shop was she just MAYFLOAT! That is the name that I got stuck with. Being my first boat (if you want to call it that)and the MAYFLOWER was the first to come to America it seemed fitting. By the way, the lake patrol stopped me for a check. Seems I was running this boat at about 45 mph? That is when I found out that this boat is surposed to be only a 2 man row boat. Since then I scrapped her due to the attention of the Wildlife Officers everywhere I went. The boat is gone, but the name goes on!

Re: What does your username stand for?

I am dutch (born and raised) and my American brother in law(who gives everybody nicknames) only knew the name Hans as a Ducth name (although it is actually German). The 007 is from the fact that I love to watch James Bond movies. They use great boats in them also!

Re: What does your username stand for?

SS is for Super Slab (slang for 1 of our country's Interstates) And Outlaw for the young lawless ways of my younger life.The old man who taught me how to drive a truck 22 years ago, gave me this name( maybe for lack of respect, belive me I have now found that respect...lol)<br />Kind of the feeling of the open road crossed over to the feeling of a warm summer morning on a beautiful lake!!!!

 

[wonko]

Re: What does your username stand for?

Wonko for the "wonko the sane" character out of the Douglas Adams books Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (funniest books I've ever read). He's a small character, but I can relate, here's a quote:<br /><br />"It seemed to me," said Wonko the Sane, "that any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a detailed instructions for use in a package of toothpicks, was no longer a civilzation in which I could live and stay sane."
