craichead 0 #57 June 28, 2003 "Craic" is the Irish word for fun and good times, and it's pronounced "crack." Sooooo...naturally, I have become a "craichead." And no...I'm not Irish. Far from it, actually! I'm Thai. Well, technically Thai-American, cos I was born and raised in the US. Ah, forget it...I'm jest one of them slanty-eyed orientals! -P__ "Scared of love, love and aeroplanes...falling out, I said takes no brains." -- Andy Partridge (XTC) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perky77 0 #61 June 28, 2003 Well AggieDave kept getting confused when people would say Dave and be talking to me, SO, he yelled at them to call me Perky or Perkins(my last name) and Perky stuck, and that is how I am called at the DZ. and 77 is the year I was born, because someone who has never ever posted has Perky as their username. Their was a really hot friend of mine that use to call me Perky too, so I didn't mind getting re-nicnamed it. "Sacrifice is a part of life. It is supposed to be. It's not something you regret .

bunge 0 #66 June 29, 2003 a long time ago before i discovered skydiving, i made a few bungie jumps. I am a Concert stagehand, and we all have nicknames. When they heard i made my first bungie jump the name Bunge was born. There are Rodies accross the country that have no clue what my real name is, but even running in to one of them accross the country, at the old Parachutes Over Palm Springs, he shouted HEY BUNGE! (of course his was Stinky, i like mine better! i think LTdiver can back me up on that one!) BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CloudOnMyTongue 0 #69 June 29, 2003 Mine is stolen. It's the name of a Tori Amos song. cause Tori rocks, and well I thought it would be appropriate for these forums. In case your wondering.... Blue Skies (also by Tori) is a really good song to put in your videos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frodo 0 #71 June 29, 2003 Mine is actually not my nickname, nobody calls me "frodo". It's just that on my greencard I look a lot like the hobbit from the movie, with that semi-idiotic grin Plus I found that it's a good name to use in forums, since in most cases it's not "occupied" by anyone. (Yeah well, in a couple of cases it was, so I had to come up with some stupid numbers, like frodo1111) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalslug 31 #72 June 29, 2003 CrazyIvan ? In Tom Clancy's "The hunt for Red October", the Russian submarine in question was said to perform a 'Crazy Ivan'.. whereby it would suddenly shut off its engines and drift forwards while making a slight turn to either port or starboard, positioning its passive sonar so as to listen for submarines that may be following behind. I'm pretty sure this 'nautical maneuver' is entirely fictional.. I'm too lazy to look it up further. And me.. the name and the avatar come from an arcade game "Metal Slug". That little man jumping the round has a serious wingloading, eh? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moodyskydiver 0 #74 June 30, 2003 Mine is pretty self explanatory. My friends always called me a moody bitch.Then I started jumping and just put the two together and shortened it a bit b/c moodybitchskydiver woulda just been too long. So now everyone just calls me "Moody". "...just an earthbound misfit, I." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
