What Does your forum name mean ?

[quickster47 †]

My oldest daughter gave me the 'Quickster' moniker many, many moons ago when she was in college.  We used to joke around with each other and she commented one time that I was like a 'jokester' but was really a 'quickster'.  Since that time, probably 25 years ago at least, I've had many other friends call me 'Quickster' without knowing anything about my daughter's nickname for me.  And after all these years it has just stuck.  Even my wife now calls me 'quickster' when she is being serious or really wants something, like my attention.

When I played for the Dallas Cowboys in 1968, only for about 10 weeks before I was cut, Bob Hayes was on the team.  At that time Bob Hayes was known as 'Bullet Bob' because he could run the 100 meters in 10 seconds.  He always told me that he was fast but would never be 'quick'.

I added the 47 because I was born in 1947 and a true 'war baby'.

Pretty much I know I covered it before, but I'll be brief : It is a single license tag Dad gave me.  1969 Virginia Truck Tag "T191032".  Year of my hatching.    When I started doing this chat board type of stuff, I needed a good "name" and went with that one, for most of 'em.

Came up with mine when I made my e-mail address over ten years ago.
The cmj are my initials and the 21973 is my DOB.

No way am I going to use my nickname from highschool, college, or the current one for an user id. Hence they are passwords which are classified as Top Secret.

FYI The list of nicknames are in order of "no way in hell" to "maybe, but unlikely".

Mine is nothing special, second name Starrs, nickname was Starsy, until an old guy pronounced it Storsy, and it stuck.

[MrWhsprs]

In the mid 90's I was quite active in a couple of chat rooms on Prodigy, became long-distance friends with some people from the rooms, and would talk with them on the phone. Apparently I have a tendency to be soft-spoken, thus some of those friends called me "Mister Whispers" and the nickname stuck.
