Whats the story behind your username?

when I made a username for an online game, I used "jakl3in" (part of my name), but it was taken. thus "Akl3in" came about, and I use it on most forums now!
 
I have always been fascinated by cars, and how to fix them. I remember my first job as a "mechanic" was to rebuild a motor. That was 9 years ago.
I have always wanted to modify a car and make it both look fast and go faster.
On my car, a Honda prelude, the code for that car is "bb6". (on most any Honda the 4th, 5th, and 6th digit of the vin number says what your car is.)

And as my first car that I've modified and tuned, the name "bb6tuner" was born. (:
I still own that car, and drive it everyday to remember the memories of making it perfect for me.
I've used my screen name for almost everything. (:
 
Well, if you are a RUSH fan mine is self explanatory but this sums it up briefly. RUSH is my favorite progressive rock band...has been since I heard them back in the mid 70's as a kid growing up in a college town in northeastern Alabama. Caress of Steel is the title of their '75 album and that name relates to handling/admiring knives---caressing of the steel!

I just wanted a username that didn't require any numbers in it. Stumbled upon "timberweasel" and liked the sound of it--kind of a silly play on "timberwolf." It kind of reminds me of the Pixar saber-tooth squirrel only I horde knives... :D

Mine came from the only time in my life that the Braves ACTUALLY fulfilled their destiny.........actually now that I think about it kinda seems depressing..............:)
 
Started off as making names for a gaming handle when I was a teen. Came up with Algrin, which was basically a rip off of The Last Samurai's main character Captain Nathan Algren. Kept it for a year, got out of gaming for a year then got back in. Wanted something new and original so came up with Aleous(which coincidently sounds like alias which I find funny because it's what it is)from scratch and stuck with me ever since in this great big electric ocean we call the net.
 
I like to flyfish. Out of a kayak. Although the spinning rod gets used quite a bit as well.
 
Back in high school i wanted an AIM name that had no numbers in it. Well, one of my favorite tv series / anime is Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) that I saw on Toonami back in the day. I love the Principality of Zeon side of the war. One day it hit me, a "zeon test pilot". It conveniently filled every character space for a AIM username (so no numbers) and it also hadn't been used yet. I've kept that name every since, for ~12 years. I'm still an avid Gundam fan, so the name still rings true.

Oh, and some of you might have noticed a "mrszeontestpilot" on the forums. That is my awesome wife, who adopted the zeontestpilot name as her own :)
 
Mine is the avatar name I use for online games. I started using it about 11 years ago and have been using it ever since.
 
I first came to the forums to learn more about sharpening. To me it was all about sharpness. Sharp mind, sharp knife, Sharpness-is important to me! :)
 
I like cereal...

But I like to be silly and I've gotten more "cool name" compliments on it than any I've ever used before.
