Wow, do you play professionally?

Me, I chose the name of my baby boy kitty (named after Percy Mayfield), hoping that I wouldn't be rejected for being a woman; so far I have been treated like a Queen :D

At the time, and since 2004 I have been an active member of Audi forums. That board went to hell, but I decided to keep the name anyway for this forum.

d is my first initial...sigma6 was a name used by Pink Floyd before they were big time.

No relation to the manufacturing standard, 6 sigma. :)

I don't imagine mine is very hard to figure out for the SciFi fans...

I've been known professionally elsewhere on the WWW as CaptJHEM for many years, but I dropped the "Capt" here as it wasn't applicable.

Wish I had a more interesting tale to relate..... :??:

ronbo is a slangatized version of my name, the 613 comes from the "613 Spot" where my parents found me adrift in a lifeboat.

D@mn! Now all I can think of is SpongeBob! (Get that song out of my head!!!).

First initial, last name... in case anyone couldn't figure that out. Use it almost everywhere I (publicly) go on the net. If it's already taken, I append my zip code.

As far as I'm concerned, Dirk = Geddy Lee. So, if HE branded you with a nickname, you had BETTER keep it.

Mine is my Amateur Radio callsign (Kilo Two Juliet Sierra Victory, or Keeping Two Jumpin, Screamin Virgins) not real creative... but yeah...

I have also been known to use..

JAYMZ

or JAYMZ5329

Big Metallica fan... so that is where the JAYMZ comes from... and 5329 is my shield number at work. (No, I'm not a cop)
