[dgman]

dgman used to be my standard password for online sites until they started requiring more digits and numbers. dg for Dan Gallo, and I don't know where man comes from.

[cherie]

Thank you Cherie!

[Crabbyboater]

Enjoying the "whys" of screen names.  I started using Crabbyboater on a different board a few years ago, and just used it again when I joined here.  The reason is that I owned a boat, and really enjoyed going out crabbing here on Puget Sound near Seattle.  The picture is of me and a grandson with a crab he caught.  I recently sold the boat, which is why I took up scrolling as a new hobby. No, I'm really not crabby at all!  Real name is John.  I'm also known as Grandpa John on others, but there are enough Grandpas out there already.

  I am also under the nickname KNOWN "Peintclopat. Funny nicknames you go say I chose to function Peinture, Cloet, Patrick!... 

[Dawie]

My nickname is simply the afrikaans abbreviations voor david or dawid as it spelled there. So dawie would actually be davy here. My nephew calls me that so it's like a second name. He somethimes calls me DavyKroket and have used that as screenname as well elsewhere. A Kroket is a dutch snack which I love.
David

[Dustyknees]

When I come out of the garage, my grand daughter always says "You have dusty knees grampa"

[Merlin]

Jimbo that other wizard in NZ is really only a Professor at the Canterbury University. "The  Wizard of Christchurch". I'm the real deal. LOLOLOLOL.

[dankc908]

dankc908 - dan is my 1st name, k is my middle initial, c is my last name, 908 is a random number I picked up YEARS ago!

Dan

PS - All the variations of "Dan" were long gone by the time I appeared on most sites!

[dunk]

A few years ago before I injured my neck and back, I loved white water rafting.  We went rafting every weekend all summer for several years.  My problem was I was getting ejected from the raft on a frequent basis when we first learned how to navigate the river.  Hence "DUNK" and it stuck.

[AnotherSteve]

On other sites I use the name "Steve838", which is my first name and the number of a restaurant I used to manage in another lifetime.  When Steve started this site, I figured Steve838 would be too confusing so I called myself "AnotherSteve". 

Steve

[KENINLEX]

No brainier KEN IN LEXINGTON.

Mon surnom est tout simplement l'abr?viation afrikaans voor David ou Dawid comme il l'?peautre. Alors Dawie serait effectivement Davy ici. Mon neveu me demande qui c'est comme un deuxi?me nom. Il somethimes m'appelle DavyKroket et ont utilis? cela comme screenname aussi bien ailleurs. Un Kroket est un snack n?erlandais que j'aime.

[Dawie]

Cloetpatrick,
I think my nephew read those books to, so did I. They are nice so I don't mind him calling me that even if the spelling is different.
