What is the story (if any) behind your "handle"

[comfortcove]

Watson's Aunt : I LOVE Wheaton Terriers, and My aunt had one. I know you enjoy Watson!

 

My handle is simple as well. We live on Comfort Cove.

[wandb]

I maybe a Redneck.

 

I thought the muster station was a condiment bar for hot dogs.

 

I ate & drank so much on my last cruise that I do not have a shirt that covers my belly

 

I took my wife on our first cruise and we circled Dairy Queen

 

Had to laugh out loud when I read your post. Just wondering---Do kids still cruise on Friday nights---around Dairy Queen, McDonald's, or the courthouse square??

[wandb]

Though most folks on CC call me Wanda---the handle actually stands for w (Wayne) and b (Barb)

[stlouistravelers]

Mine is where I live and what I like to do.

[Lucy's Light]

My sweet Mom's name was Lucy, and her children were the light of her life.

[woodworker&knitter]

My husband and I are both retired. His hobby is woodworking and mine is knitting.

[dawei]

In 2001, my DW and I adopted the first of what turned out to be four older children from China; three are now seniors at university and the fourth is in the Navy. So, for close to ten years we were making fairly regular trips to China. In Chinese, my name, David, is rendered as Dawei and pronounced as Dah WAY. Don't know what made me think of that when I joined CC and needed a handle ;)

[Islander34]

When I'm not cruising, I'm usually out on my sailboat- an Islander 34.

[Toad]

Well, when I am not cruising, my DH, says I am a TOAD. His translation of this means I am grumpy and either always working, planning my next cruise, or on cruise critic reading about cruising. Soooooo, since you are currently reading this, I imagine you can guess I am not currently cruising!

AHOY SHIPMATES,

age 74, Retired, 23 YRS IN NAVY, Naturally I wanted to be "Ancient Mariner" but it was taken. (I have never seen a post from him ) so I thought a while and came up with ANTIQUE SAILOR. DW was watching that antique show on TV at the time.

First name plus state where we live, not very imaginative :o

[oldpharmguy]

 

“Script Ohio” has been an Ohio State University tradition going on 77 years. Begun in 1936, “Script Ohio” includes a revolving block “O” at the beginning, the curved formation of the word “Ohio,” and the “dotting of the I” by the sousaphone player.

Thanks Script Ohio for the links to OSU marching band music. I remember the days even after 50 plus years.

As most would guess, my "handle" of oldpharmguy means I am OLD. graduate of OSU Pharmacy School and my last name is GUY.

[Capt. & Teach]

We are retired and needed a name for cruise critic so; I was an airline Captain and JJ was a school teacher. Therefore Capt. & Teach.

[saturn93]

My screen name comes from the first car I drove full time, a 1993 Saturn.

[mamaofami]

This has been a fun thread to read.

[airlink diva]

At one time I worked for a regional airline, Northwest Airlink. Some of my coworkers called me Diva (in a good way) because the way I could handle two zones with ease.

So I've been AirlinkDiva on all my online ventures!

Though I respect that you may have been disappointed not to be able to choose "Ancient Mariner," I personally think Antique Sailor is much more creative, and very witty! And it goes perfectly with your photo... errr, avatar? (whatever it's called...:confused:)

[crow03]

Maiden name, third child

Been using it for years, eventhough my brothers have never caught on. LOL:cool:

ahoy shipmate,

 

 

thank you, misson accomplished

[scapel]

Being a retired surgeon I wanted to be scalpel as an e-mail handle but it was taken so I dropped an "L" and tried "scapel" and it worked and it has been going pretty good. Once I tried to get on "Skype" as "scapel" but it wouldn't fly so my son suggested I try "scapelwan" and it worked. Here is how "wan" came about.

My son as a child used to like "Star Wars". When he was born he was Joseph B Reynolds IV. My father was called "J.B", so I thought we would call him "JoeB". Well his other 6 siblings ran with that and pretty soon he was known as "Joby". Now in StarWars stuff he named himself "JobywanKnobie".

He is also known as "JobyWan" So that is where the "wan" came from.

If you type "scapelwan" in google search bar you will find "you tube" videos.

That is the story of two handles and how they came about.

I'm a runner, I'm female, and I was born in 1971. :D

[springer760]

We now own our third and fourth dalmatian, but a long time ago, after the first died, we brought a springer spaniel into our home. springer760 was chosen to remember him, a special and favorite dog. The numbers were chosen at random to provide the uniqueness required for a username. It is now me.

[Fire31]

On our 2nd cruise we heard about Cruise Critic. My husband had retired as a Fire Fighter of 31 years, so we became Fire31. Unfortunately we are not together and I guess I will need to choose a new handle because I will continue to cruise.
