Well... when I first got on ICQ, I chose "Kamikaze Soul Rider" as a username cos we'd just started inline skating and soul grinds were my signature move
For some odd reason, my mate Jed kept calling me "kooz" as in - "Hey kooz you want a beer?" or "Aw don't be such a kooza"... so that kinda stuck too. But Kooz wasn't a unique username for forums etc so I mixed up my old nick and the new one... and bastardized the spelling a bit so it could (kinda, at a stretch) be read as a Japanese mish-mash word... I hate having to explain it and which I'd gone with something simple like "Kev"

My friends and I were not so nice teens. We used to steal or "mougl" things regularly just to see if we would get away with it. Any time we did anything slick, we mougled. If someone got something over on you, you had been mougled. Mougl can be used to describe various situations. The name just kind of stuck.

Jaymz...just an odd way to spell my real name, James.

Quiz: Which famous James spells their name Jaymz?

Mougl!?!
Illegal acts????


I refuse to believe it!!!!

I started making beef jerky years ago, my friends said "You need a name people will remember" So I came up with Roadkyll. Still make jerky but the name is now associated with my silkscreen business, and I get calls all the time "saw your name, I'll never forget it" or "The only name I could remember was "Roadkyll"

I have been flying kites most of my life. I have been competing in Rokkaku battles at festivals for years, I even made all my own kites. So I became Rocfighter, I still enjoy the battles but power is my favorate.

Way back when, we had friends John and Eliz Taylor. My wife nicknamed them the JETs. They returned the favour; my wife and I became the HIAs. Its just stuck since then. (Strangely enough, she doesn't like being called hiagal.)

canuck is a slang term for Canadians - and I am Made in Canada eh. :bigok:

I also grew up in Vancouver BC and always hope the Canucks will bring the Stanley Cup home - but they seem to die in the playoffs.

I'm also from the land of "Eh". The JETs (earlier post) lived in Kerrisdale.
Spent 20 years supporting the Canucks but now I'm back in the land of the Leafs. Hey, at least you're in the playoffs. I was 7 the last time LeafNation won.

Yotes is a nickname I picked up in high school (last name is Yates, someone photoshopped my face onto an oatmeal box). Rockin' Yotes is what I call my solo rockabilly act.

...my previous addiction was table tennis...:ticking:

@ cheezy,... ever since you sent me that 5m core I've known too Marc,... didn't realize it was a secret though,... glad I didn't let the cat out of the bag ;-)

with all of these "secrets" coming out this thread is either becoming an episode of Jerry Springer or an old fashioned Baptist revival!

Well I am a fan of the long running independent comic book Cerebus [that is him in my avatar]. A follower would therefor be a Cerebite.

Hey nice to see you on here. Now hurry up and catch up to your fathers post count

My wife gave me the name before the kids were born and now the grandkids call me it instead of grandpa.:smug:

Really stoked this is still going!!!!!

keep it coming fellas!

I joined this forum as " Snowbird " because snow kiting was my #1 stoke and I am willing to travel for it.
It soon became clear I was NOT going to get enough time on the snow to live up to the name.
I find I get out most often on the blades and like to promote the style so Bladerunner seemed a more accurate name.

bobalooie - actually he spelled it BabaLooey, was sidekick to Quick Draw McGraw, who was a Hanna - Barbera cartoon character when I was a kid. My name is bob, and my last name sounds a little like looie, so some friends started calling me that way back when. 57 is the year of my birth.
