What's the story with your screen name?

[VFlutter]

Autocross or TT or door to door?

Mostly drifting and autocross. I miss my Z but it was getting too exspensive blowing through clutches, tires, etc and wasn't practical. When I pay off my jeep I will probably pick up a 370z.

 

[JDub]

My initials are JW. On the first day of EMT school my instructor started calling me JDub. Soon that's what everyone called me. I met two good friends in that class, who continued to call me JDub and now it has spread all around.

10 points and a cookie to whoever can figure out where my screen name came from.

Any chance you are from Nevada and your name is Rob?

[CritterNurse]

Well, like I said in the nicknames thread, my childhood nickname was 'critter', and that started when my mom was pregnant with me. My parents didn't know if I was going to be a boy or a girl, and didn't want to know until I was born, so my dad just kept referring to me as 'the little critter'. I still get called his 'little critter'. When I was in my mid-twenties, I decided to go back to school to be a veterinary technician, which in some parts of the country is called a veterinary nurse. So now I'm a nurse for critters.

I later got my EMT license, but I still think the name CritterNurse fits.

 

[MRSA]

I'm a gross infectious pain in the *** and I'm hard to get rid of. I'm very persistent.

[NJN]

My original handle was NJNewbie196, back when I was new to the game and the unit I rode was 196. A while back it was shortened to NJN because the ink on my card started to dry (just a little) and I no longer rode 196.

 

[Jon]

I was medicstudentjon. But I stopped being a medic student, so it got shortened to Jon.

Some other places I use JonEMTP.

 

[TechMedic]

I wanted to join the Houston fire department

 

[NomadicMedic]

I wanted to join the Houston fire department

And now you dont?

 

[wildrivermedic]

From my first ride-along: the medic, less than thrilled to have me in his rig referred to the Wilderness Medicine Institute as "that granola EMT school".

I accidentally got back at him by referring to him as a "pocket medic". I honestly meant this in relation to his answering my questions like a reference book or field guide, not in relation to his kinda shorter stature.

Would have ruined the day except his EMT partner chuckled for hours and declared me his new best friend.

 

[Sparky79]

I'm an electrician for my fulltime job. All electricians are called sparky by the other trades on a jobsite.

I was born in 1979

 

[MedicBender]

Bender was a nickname from work, it's the first and last parts of my name. And last time I checked, I was a paramedic.

 

[intellectualfish]

My story is fairly uninteresting... Back in middle school, this new-fangled email website called Hotmail asked me to choose an email address. Being the clever adolescent I was, I decided that these two words (intellectual and fish) would be cool together. I've used it for all sorts of things ever since. My one regret is that 'intellectualfish' is 16 characters long and a pain in the pooper to type out on a smart phone. Such is life, I suppose.

[Akulahawk]

Mine isn't too difficult to figure out: They're both animal names, and those animals represent things I like to do... one of which is way to expensive for me right now. I had to pick a user ID once upon a time, and I chose those, and have used it pretty much ever since, on many different forums.
