posted by limited-time. "Screen name ziggystardust.....and no mention of David Bowie (sp) just don't seem right???"<br /><br />ok, so the cat's out of the bag. i'm not perticualarly into david bowie (sp) :D <br />ziggystardust was the name of my cat. he just died this last jan. ziggys name was concieved sitting on the roof of my garage with a buddy of mine, swillin some beers and tryin to think of a name for this cat. that song came on the radio. it fit him purfect. ziggy got blind at 5 years old and lived to 19. caught birds and squirlls up till he was about 16 years old. ever seen a blind cat with a cardnal hanging out of its mouth while trying to meow... funny, not for the cardnal of course. anyways. i've assumed ziggys name and use it as my name. i figure everyone who is into animals (pets) will probably have one in perticualar that stands out. ziggy is just my perticualar one. <br />ziggys replacement is pretty cool too. she's sazzyazz. and that she is......

Mine is SoulWinner because I'm really Satan. I thought the screen name would through people off, but it isn't working.

Re: why my screename, why yours?

First, Ziggy you stole my topic!! I was waitng for a little longer into the dead season . . . I was gonna call it: What's the story behind your f_inscreename. Dang it!!<br /><br />Anyway, mine is really stupid as I am neither Quiet nor do I like Cats much. My first forum that I joined a few years back was on NASCAR.com. I was and still am a Ward Burton fan who was then driving the Caterpillar car, I also have had a 28 year career related to Caterpillar truck engines. Anyway, . . . Ward is kinda a quiet guy and there was the Cat connection and this whole thing of forums is very quiet except for the clicking of your keyboard, hence in a moment of stupidity and hastiness I chose Quietcat and it has frankly kinda stuck. There that's it . . .<br /><br />I'm still mad you stole my topic!!!

I figure Tub Toy would sound better than "Wild Mountain Honey" That was my old business name. I used to refurbish baby furniture and design carseats.. The Tub Toy is my boat..<br /><br />QuietCat ;You know the old saying..."ya snooze, ya looze..

Re: why my screename, why yours?

When I first joined my Sea Scout unit, our boat was the Warden Johnston (former Alcatraz prison boat). It was about that time when I needed to come up with a screenname and this is what I came up with. Now, two boats and 9 years later, it still sticks with me, although I'm in the market for a new one.

Re: why my screename, why yours?

sorry about the topic qc. i'm already board with dead season though. ain't been boatin in a month and i'm already jonesin. limited-time brought up the subject though on another thread. he was the 2nd one to figure that i liked david bowie. the 1st was when i first posted and i didn't want to stir any feathers at that point. i just think it's interesting the diffent screenames that exist and wondered how they came into being.....reckon were all waiting to hear from f-inscreename though. i could probably guess as to its origination, but i don't want to figureing ya know, i might be wrong.....
