Curious about forum user names

[ttam]

My middle name - backwards.

[Silver Threads]

Great Thread, I too had to read all 12 pages! I cant even remember the original name we started with any more. When I started making curtains, we had to come up with a catchy name that related to the Airstream, so it was born.... Also part of a song, Silver Threads and golden needles......

[safari57]

We hunted down a rare (one of 1,292) 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Safari 2dr Wagon. Started looking for it and an Airstream Safari trailer of the same vintage in 1977. Found it in dismal shape in 1980 and at the same time a buddy (who just brought home his 1953 Flying Cloud) also found a '57 Pontiac - a relatively rare Pontiac Laurentian 2dr post. We both still have our cars and have both moved to the west coast and are within 5 minutes of each other so the two cars cruise together once again.

We have for years been known as the Safari couple. When another one showed up in our old group, a '55, he was 55 and I was 57 and the name stuck. Needing an Avatar Safari57 made sense, not realizing the confusion it would create with the Airstream crowd.

Never did find a '57 Airstream we felt we could adopt but did latch onto our '51 Flying Cloud and it works just fine behind the wagon. I love the 13 panels, and we continue to enjoy incredible times with it.

I graduated from Southern Illinois University back in the 70's and set a goal to retire in the area. My wife and I bought some land there and decided to by an RV so we could go to the land and develop it. I have 5 years until retirement. That is why use the name SIU Bound. The airstream renovations are coming along and I should be able to pull it this summer

There are still people why appreciate craftmanship and are willing to pay for it. There are more who respond like; What! I can buy it at IKEA for.........

Somehow I had not noticed this thread until today - so now's as good as time as any to chime in.

nvestysly = Invest Wisely

I suppose that can mean many things... invest your time wisely, invest wisely in your career, invest wisely in your community, etc. For me, the first forum I ever signed up for on the web was a financial site so I came up with nvestysly since financial matters are a hobby of mine. I quickly realized that I did not want a new screen name (avatar name?) for every forum I join. In order to keep things simple I use nvestysly for all my memberships.

Wow, that didn't take long, you are right.

Phil is back on the air late at night, but he does not mess with the callers anymore. The characters still chime in from time to time.

I got hooked on the show when I was in LA for 6 months a few years ago.

For those who don't know the show, Lloyd Bonifide was a fictional call in guest to the Phil Hendrie Show, actually voiced by Phil himself. Yes, he had conversations with himself. He would say outrageous things to dupe unaware listeners to his show, and then mess with them on the air.

Lloyd was an old Korean War veteran who drives a huge motor home, and he feels he is justified when he runs soccer moms in mini vans off the road, because they are not respecting his 24000 pounds of Detroit iron by giving him plenty of room.

[janetb]

So many creative names, and I love this thread explaining them!

Guess what my first name is and what my last name starts with. Jeez.
Kind of pathetic but I had no idea what I was getting into with this addictive forum! I love to post, and sometimes wish I was a tad more anonymous.

However the guy who talked me into this silly endeavor has a good one: "Rollertoaster." He loves toast, he loves to roll on out, and of course the Safari looks like a giant toaster on wheels. Plus we live in Santa Cruz county, home of the famous Beach Boardwalk Rollercoaster.
