Forest Gump

I have had a few names over the years. Daniel was the first and then Gumpy and now Forest Gump.

The reason I changed from Daniel to Gumpy was I could not log on anymore, computer problems.

Then I went to Gumpy which was a nickname at work but that clashed with Gumby, another user.

So now I am at Forest Gump for good hopefully, minus the money and sex appeal that he had.

Couldn't think of anything original so used the old CB radio handle style using my initials.

dan_tom

Ours is really boring actually - it's a combination of our shortened names (Danielle and Thomas) - hence the Dan_Tom thing. Ladies first of course! :)

Cheers

We drive a landcruiser and tow a Coromal Seka caravan when we can, hence the amalgamation.

womble

womble is a screen name I use on another site as well, easier to remember the log in stuff that way, derived from childhood memories of watching the wombles on the ABC...plus they were creative with making stuff from junk :D something I try to do from time to time...

But tell us about the Avatar. If that's you, you'll forgive me if I admit to being strangely attracted to you, Neil :eek:

Wood Borer

I was involved in a woodwork exhibition and for a bit of fun I opened a hotmail account with the name wood borer. I sent the other organisers a thankyou email for the food they had provided me. :confused: It seemed funny at the time. :o Maybe the beer and wine consumed at the exhibition made it funnier (Meg drove home).

I used it for this BB too and I guess it stuck. If given the chance of changing it, I would still keep it.

Like most others here, I don't use the name Wood Borer to disguise my real name, many here have met me or visited my house, shed, lemon tree etc.

Sorry to disillusion you Silent, while sifting through a heap of avatars trying to find a suitable one, I came across this one...and just couldn't get past it.

She IS stunning isn't she!

Not at all suitable for my avatar but , what the hell. Sometimes I place a post just to see her again myself. :o

Why are you called Outback anyway?

Surely it's not because you live in the donga ?

Mulgabill

Mine was given to me by some bicycling friends (at the timehttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...cons/icon7.gif) when they found out I was a bit of a woodie.
It was borrowed from the Banjo Patterson classic Mulga Bill’s Bicycle - "T’was Mulga Bill, from Eaglehawk, that caught the cycling craze;. . "etc etchttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon11.gif http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon11.gif

E. maculata

I sometimes wish I hadn't chosen mine as it comes across a bit heavy sometimes, especially when I drag the soapbox out it comes out like I might actually know what I'm rabbitting on about or something. Probably shoulda had "blokewhothinkshescleverbutreallyisquitethicksometimes" or "sortatallsortafat&sortabald...sortalikehomersimpsonreally"
However the emotion of the moment was not that noble, just sorta liked Spotted Gums ever since I was a kid, Worked eith them all my career and can identify with them and their abilities, adaptable to many situations capable of bending when needed, but if protaganists are not careful they can whip around and belt you good.

Oh and the Yanks cheesed me off :( when they reclassified them into the "corymbia" group, it is a bleedin Euc I tells ya (thats why the capital E. preceeds maculata) :o

glock40sw

glock40sw...My favorite handgun in my favorite calibre (.40 Smith & Wesson).

That is what the avatar is too.
However, J.W. Howard the little plick, decided to ban calibres larger than .38. So the 40 got handed in to the Buy (Steal) back.
I now have 9mm glocks.
But I don't want to change my name.

Hooroo.

Boban was a "football" player who played for AC Milan and came from the same region as my parents. Followed his career and adopted his name for forums. Pathetic I know, but its easy to remember.

Shortened from Tankus Standus Ah Um.

Given unto me by a team mate.

A reference to my strength, stature and no doubt, intelligence! :D

Although when Stoppers and U met me they were dissapointed that I didn't have three legs!? :D
