A good friend of mine owns several car forums, When he told me drama stories from one I frequented I would ask "Who posted that", He would sometimes reply... "I don't know, just some idiot on the forum" I said I was going to make "Some Idiot" my screen name on the next forum I signed up on so that I could be "some idiot on a forum"...

My screen name is a pun. I taught geology. Geologists use rock picks. As a student and teacher I took many "pics" of rocks, usually on 35mm slide film. And yes, I photograph things besides rocks. | | | |

Mine a combination of first and middle initialls plus last name.
Most others sites my sign-on is either Capisce or No Capisce. Growing up in North New Jersey I frequently had Eh Luigi; you no capisce?; or hey you capisce?, directed towards me. | | | |

My wife and I used to play games at a place called "Virtual World".
They put you in a pod, and you virtually ran around shooting other "Mech Warriors".
Well, they wanted everyone to pick a nickname, or a "Call Sign". This was around the time that Top Gun was in the theaters, and people were picking names like Iceman, Maverick and Sundown.
I thought that was droll.
I picked my name from another movie. One called "The Ice Pirates".
John Matuszak played a character named Killjoy. He ran around ruining people's fun. Seeing as that was my intent in the game, I thought it was fitting.
It just kinda stuck.

my first name is Ron, and you'll have to unscramble the rest of the letters to make sense of it!!!
Or...perhaps you'll have to unscramble all the words to get two of my names? | | | |

Mine is a combo of my last name+ what I like + when I shot my 1st solo wedding.

Well, Studio Cygnet is what I named my studio and website. And a cygnet is a baby swan, and I've got hundreds of swan photos. But not everyone knows what cygnet means, so I thought it also sounded kinda modern to go with the internet, you know how everyone calls it the net. And since I joined here I got tired of typing the whole thing, so on most other forums I just shortened it to cygnet.
And there are a whole load of Toms and TomD's running around already.
