How did you come up with your login (nickname)?

The story is simple. I had just moved to San Diego. My new boss called me on the phone one day and I was cooking dinner. I was talking on the phone and had some food all over my hands. I dropped the phone accidentally and said "Sorry I have goop all over my hands." He thought that was funny for some reason and began calling me that. Then everyone else did. That's it! :BLAA:

Ransom
Does anyone smell blue?
Ransom is actually my last name.
I didn't use my nick name my friends gave my from 10 years ago because I think it just sounds creepy. They called me Chest Rockwell. This was a character from the movie Boogie Nights. They called me that because they thought my first and last name sounded like a porn star's name, so they gave me a real porn star's name.:BLAA:
Also most of my friends are Army buddies so I am Ransom to most people anyways, even my Goddaughter's call me Uncle Ransom.

turbid comes when i wanted to make my car go faster so i installed a turbo. when i wanted to sign up to a ford forum i just stood in front of the pc trying to figure out a nickname and turbid came to mind since it has part of the word turbo in it.. later i discovered that this word means murky and that sort of things... i wanted to change but i forget so i wouldnt remember the user name or password i am using and end up that i could not sign up...happenend with photobucket! so this word has stuck and i keep it is as my nickname

XTRAWLD - had this since I started tuning cars. Because I got a car with the intention of showing it, I thought it would only be fitting to have a cool license plate to go with it. I've had this handle for years. One day might turn the W upside down instead when the tuning days are over! But as they say - once a tuner, always a tuner.

I love firebirds, My dad has an '80 Trans AM, it had a 350 in it, but I took it out one night and blew a rod when I was 17 or 18. It took me at least 7 years to own up to that, he loves that car. He used my folly to put a 400 in it, the thing practically does wheel stands now, I'm afraid to drive it. So now He's got his T/A with the smokey and the bandit decals and I've got my FZ, and we sit around on holidays being jealous of each others toys.
My handle is simple, The Area code of where I live which I am very proud of and the name of the bike I am in love with.
My name here was originally nccoder for (Numeric Control Coder) computer controlled tasks such as machining and a plethora of any kind of machine control.
But I liked the name Motogiro for a long time. It's from the name of a cross country event riding classic motorcycles but originated from a race in Italy. The name was taken from: Giro Motociclistico d'Italia, the historic race, loved for its daring open-road excitement and competitive spirit.
I'm not Italian that I know of and I'm not nostalgic but I do believe in the soul of riding....
It was also better than "Bob Wehadababyitsaboy"

I hit the random screen name on Xbox live until I found something I liked. I used to be "LonelyWarrior" or "XKnight" but when set up my orginal live account on the xbox "XKnight" was taken, so I got lonelywarrior. Mostly cause I used to always play as the sniper. I let my account lapse for like 5-6 months cause I was deployed, and they had cleaned the screen names and it was taken. It was only supposed to be on hold, and I complained, but someone else already had the name.
Since I hate numbers in my name, (it's like, "I'm the 569th person to be unoriginal") I decided on DownrangeFuture. Kind of has the same idea as, "I play the sniper".

I used to Surf... so I loved big waves... and I was trying to get into the "warez" scene (warez = "easy software"), so wave-x, since adding an "X" to the end of every word was "l33t" on th3 int3rn3t at the t1m3
