Your Screen Name, Avatar, Sig Line Story

Shah Mat


Checkmate: from Shah mat "the king is dead", from the Persian shah for "king" and the Arabic mat for "died"

Since I have two Checkmates in my driveway I thought it was a fitting screenname.

That's original, never would have figured it out.
 
Nickname from an earlier time given to me by the founder of our original posse,(it might have been because I was always angling towards a buck) I added the 02 because my dad was the original Slick and I kinda inherited his position when he died about 10 years ago.

And the sig line?:sifone:
 
I'm kinda turning into something of a hermit as I get older,(I've never been much of a people person) I put up with people 50hrs a week and when I get home, the dogs wait by the door and other than food and love they want/require absolutely nothing from me,,,and I like that,,,alot.
 
Gladhe8er: I've used this screen name since college...Thought it was funny because it can be construed a few different ways.

Signature: It's my Dad's restaurant. It has stories of his old racing days in his 30' Shadow Cat "Black Duck" as well.
 
Well, with a last name like "Sommer," when you name your boat, you kinda HAVE to use it... My dad's first boat was "Sommer's Here," now he has "Sommer Ours"...both are a bit pedestrian for my taste. My first boat (and original name on all the other boards) was "Sommer Flies By" and my current boat, because of its color, is "Red Hot Sommer."

The avatar is a logo a had a bud draw up after I coined the "Bad Influence" moniker for our little boating crew. The origins of that name lie in the fact that I used to place much more importance on conditioning and athletic endeavors than drinking...then I started hanging with these guys...now its more of a wash! Don't get me wrong...I still run and bike like a madman...but I can drink many beers (and RUM) as well!

The sig line...well...I came up with that one day at work...I liked it, and so has everyone else that isn't a green-weenie.

Carried over from the other site. I was well into my 22' Donzi at the time I joined the other site and didn't want to be tied to an older boat name or model so I uncreatively chose it.
The Avatar is made by my good friend Frank C. at Typhoon SC.
Tag line changes with my moods.
 
OldSchool....Hmmmm....so many possibilties!!

My screen name way back when on the "other" board was Craig223 because, well, my name is Craig and I had a Formula223 at the time that I signed up over there. When I bought our first Cigarette, I went through a lengthy process of figuring out what to name it. With a little help from my friends, OldSchool it was! OldSchool II is my current boat's name.

I have always done chit the "Old way", both at work and at home. A lot of times, I prefer to print out a long email and read it from paper. I don't do stuff on my computer, I scratch it out on paper and then enter it as a document after the fact. Power screwgun, no way!! Dishwasher..give me a sponge and a towel!! Stupid, probably, but I'm a unique MoFo, to say the least!:biggrinjester:

I like old stuff. Old cars, old boats, old jeans, old shoes, old fishin' rods... mostly because I grew up poor and learned to make the best of what I could get.

Then there's the movie, Old School. One of my favorites. It was funny as hell meeting someone down in Islamorada last month and the first thing that they said to me was that they expected me to look exactly like my avatar. LMAO! :rofl:
One of my favorite scenes from that movie was when Frank the Tank said "we're going streaking, through the quads. Come on everybody"!!!! Then off he went, streaking through the streets thinking that everyone followed. They didn't.

Kind of reminds me of some stuff that recently happened here!! :cool: :biggrinjester::rofl:
 
My screen name and avatar has to do with my artwork. Not the best pic, but you'll get the idea...got a Tiki mask to remind me of more tropical places.
