Name Origins (NSR)

[gincognito]

Austrian ski legend.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and everybody else is doing it),
d.

[A-wreck]

My name is Aaron and when I lived in Tennessee my friends their couldn't really pronounce it right. They made it sound like earn. It was easier for them to say "A Ron" so that stuck.
Then I went through a phase in my life where I would quickly and efficiently snort heaping piles of blow and any remaining scraps laying around on whatever smooth flat surface my face was hanging over. People started calling me "A ron the Oreck" After the legendary vaccum cleaners.
Then a freind came into town who I hadn't seen in a while and discovered me in this condition and said "A Ron the Oreck......more like A wreck"
I straightened things out after that and managed to cut the blow out of the equation.
It fits because I eat shit on the hill a lot.

[Monique]

Cheesy character in ski kitsch/cult classic "Better Off Dead."

[Anxious Mo-Fo]

The first song on the Minutemen's classic "Double Nickels on the Dime."

[MuleSkinner]

Grew up skiing at Saddleback in Maine, used to love the trail MuleSkinner when I was little and didn't want anything too girly.......

[Egon]

I collect mold spores and fungi.

[Grange]

I think this was done before, but I'll play anyway.

College nickname. Had an amazing game at intramural football and was wearing red sweatpants as a freshman. My teammates called started calling me Red Grange after that game. The name went through variation over the next year to Red, Granger and finally settled on Grange.

Much like FNG most people knew me only by my nickname. It was great for house parties. The name has since gone by the wayside for the most part except for my handle here.

[Buzzworthy]

yeah...i don't really need to explain mine.

and when you see me at a Maggot party, mine will not need explaining either.

I don't remember where it came from.

[Endlessseason]

Yes, this has been rerun several times over the years. Judging by the responses I guess it's been long enough to do it all over again.

I got my name from, well, I've had an endless ski season since October of 1992.

Hey, didn't know you were a former Maineah too

anyway.. since i'm in the thread now, i'll explain mine, which is a total misnomer, cause everyone thinks I"m a kick ass skier/backcountry guide or something like that - total opposite, i'm a BC jong still.

i'd used 'skiguide' as a nick in web marketing forums long before i ever got to PowMag or TGR boards, because at the time I was the About.com "GUIDE" to skiing. we were all known as guides, rather than writers/editors internally, and it stuck.

[teledave]

Mine is just way to complicated to even try to explain.

[Superstar Punani]

The first word is what I am, and the 2nd word is what I live for and what I love to eat.

...and it's also a Sublime song in Sick Sense.

[Laps]

High School nickname. Lots of detentions, hard ass soccer coach, lots of LAPS.

[Beaver]

[snowsprite]

If you know me enough to have glimpsed a bit of my psyche, you'd agree that I really should have picked "Mr. Toad."

But Snowsprite seemed more appropriate based on my gender and stature. Oh, and my little shimmery wings.

Sprite

[altagirl]

Same here.

[runethechamp]

My first name is Rune and I generally feel like a champ. In addition to that, a good friend of mine and I started to use champ as a universal word, noun, adjective, verb whatever, when we skied a lot together in the oh so champ seasons of 97/98 and 98/99.

[bossass]

During a night in high school I only remember fragments of, I was the life of a basement party despite my normal mild-mannered demeanor. I do remember drinking everything I could get my hands on, including fruit punch schnapps (((shudder))). My last name is Voss and while I was throwing up on the floor my friend saw it fit to chant "boss-ass Voss". The name stuck, but most HS friends just call me Boss.

[HyRUPz]

Mine . . . one of many awesome runs on Aspen Mountain ...

[seldon]

from asimov's foundation series. started using it as a gaming handle when too many people had "ender" and just never bothered to think up anything else *shrugs*

and I just figured it was how often you scored and that you didn't spell real good. Now we know. Kind of a bummer really.

[yogachik]

I'm a male rock climber.

actually, I'm sort of a yoga flunkee these days, after 18 years of practicing... I think I need to change my name, but I've had this one since the early 90s aol chat rooms (so cal room) - as embarrassing as that is to admit - but it was very cutting edge at the time (to be online).

[bklyn]

bklyn - Brooklyn - where I live
trayc - Tracy - my name

got trayc because tracy.com was taken when I got my website way back when and it sounds the same.
