Tink1717 2 #31 March 4, 2004 In Fire Dept. culture, as in skydiving culture, your nick name is given in reference to either something (stupid) that you did OR was done to you. When I was transferred from station 55 to station 15, the guys at the old station decided to make it memorable. They sent to the new station a bag marked "Found in locker formerly occupied by Specialist Kevin Grishkot." The bag contained a pair of womens' boots that had a jingle bell on the toe. For the next six months, I was known as "tinkerbell". Then it became "Tinker" and finally "Tink". It's been "Tink" for the last 15 years. Hope that didn't bore too many of you.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

Zenister 0 #32 March 4, 2004 hmmm 'Zen' was the way my earliest sensei decided best translated my last name/personality i used to sit quietly in seiza and listen around the dojo alot while everyone else was goofing off more from shyness as a kid than any inherent understanding, that came much later with lots of practice.... and it fit great in the 3 letter scoreboards video games all had at the time.. 'sinister' used to be a way of saying 'left handed', which i tried to become as an experiment in high school (I can now do most things equally proficiently with either hand, but if you throw something at me I’ll probably catch it with my right, couldn’t train that out..) and as a way of cross training when i was fencing competitively "oh your being all sinister this afternoon i see" 'Zenister' someone slurred one day at party and i ‘adopted’ it as it fit in the 8 character fields video games now had... 'Rans' is actually short for my real name 'Ransome', but i adopted 'Randy' for most business purposes as it got to be a pain to explain the family history every time i met someone... lately i've been using my real name more and more everywhere (I always did with my friends) and just not explaining it unless someone really wanted to know... hmmm this might be the 4th or 5th time we've gone thru this topic.... i think the repost police have given up on it ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

wendybird 0 #34 March 4, 2004 Wendybird: When I started skydiving my girls were itty-bitty. They were really into Disney movies, and when they'd watch Peter Pan they thought it was quite funny that the lost boys called Wendy a "Wendybird" when she was flying over the island. That's it. Pretty boring. Now, at SDC they call me Wench. That's another story altogether ...Wendy "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used u Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprilcat 0 #35 March 4, 2004 Okay...YOUR name fits in context of that second photo!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My cousins were jerks who teased me by changing my name to Apricot. Why do things like this bother kids? Who knows?, who cares?, taught me how to fight. My auntie softened it to 'AprilCat' and she still calls me that to this day. If she called me 'April' I know someone is in BIG trouble!!!~~April the Cat Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pa2themd 0 #37 March 4, 2004 In real life my nick name is Sheri, simply because only Australians tend to poronounce my name correctly "Sheralee" On dz.com its pa2themd which means Personal assistant to the managing director. One of my friends at the dz used to call me that, it is basically or was basically my work title "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!"
