How do you pick out your handle?

[Heatmiser 0]

BTW, my dad informed me on my last trip to South Carolina that the 1.75 liter bottles of liquor are referred to as "handles" in his neck of the woods, so I guess I choose mine by either flavor, or proof.

I'll admit it. I didn't realize you could put in any nickname. I went with my real name and first initial of my last name.

Be yourself!

Just a rough formula based on my skill level and my personal philosophy that a low pull is better than a no pull and a damn sight more fun than a high pull :-)

I should probably change it now that I'm not jumping

Don't bother - with your outlook and attitude - someone will push you off a building eventually.

I know his real name.


But I'm not entirely sure he wants me letting that info out.


So its going to remain horny penis. hahahahahah

If someone wants to know bad enough, the info is out there...
Ironically, I did want to use my real name when I signed up but it and the combos of it I could think of were already in use.

Just use your real name.
From what are you hiding?

It may be a work/life separation thing. Some may be doing it to not reflect on their professionalism in their career. Companies prolly could care less about most employees personal lives unless there is some sort of link tieing the two.

Plausible deniability.

I've been called Shell since I was little.

Just "Shell" was taken when I registered here so I just add the 666.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

I had some issues getting my first rig put together, it took just over a year to get everything sorted out. The guys in the leper colony called me Gearless Chris because I never had my own gear.

Mine actually has nothing to do with skydiving, but rather this blues traveler song:

I was listening to it while I had an incident with a zip line and a large drop, it sorta stuck as my internet name.

Some college road tripping friends who usually called me J (may name is Jason) for some reason thought it was hilarious when we pulled through a FlyingJ truck stop and started calling me FlyingJ. Bought me a FlyingJ hat and everything to make it official.

That was the only thing I could think of when I signed up. Lee was the only one that actually continued calling me that.

Oh, I thought it was because you're a devil in bed.

Mine, I just went with my informal name. At the time, I was going to show I had nothing to hide when I started posting because I had a thing going against the people who started Skyride, and I was known as bvaskydive in rec.skydiving (b for first letter of first name and va for first two letters of last name and then my hobby)
