Why/how did you choose your BLF Username?

I always find it hard to come up with a new username, therefore I call myself ChibiM on many forums :)

Why did you guys choose your BLF username?

My reason:

I can't remember exactly how it started, but people called me Chibi Marco, after a Japanese cartoon character. So I used the abbreviated version: ChibiM

So, what is your reason?

I was driving one at the time & couldn’t think of anything better :smiley:

A friend of mine at work once said I looked like a “ slim kango “ meaning kangaroo. Well it stuck so I figured might as well embrace it. Now I use it for all my forum names.

It’s been my cb handle since the “Smokey and the Bandit” days.

The youtube reviewer WeAllJuggleKnives used the phrase “eyeball fryer” in his Thrunite TN36 and TN36-UT reviews to describe the turbo mode.

My other hobby is FPV quad racing; even after several years I am not that good at it and, as I found out, it is one of the most expensive hobbies out there (parts, maintenance and crashes).
Also, I can’t fly when it is raining or windy, when I am working, can’t fly at night, can’t fly around most gov buildings or airports/above cars/vehicles/people/animals, etc… a ton of money for a few hours of flying each month.
anyway, that’s how I picked my username.

Ha , ha , ha..., stupid me , somehow I mistaken the user name (cera@1967) with the password I used on most of my devices and sites ( cause I always forget them !!!) ...

Cera is my wife name and 1967 is the year she was born.., in this way I can not forget the passwords !!! , unless I 'm going to get Alzheimer...

How did I come up with my username?

A couple of reasons...

I am a big fan of some Resident Evil video games, and the early ones took place in Raccoon City.

When RE4 came out, I longed for the days when the games took place in the United States.

Spoiler Alert: Raccoon City gets practically destroyed by the U.S. Government in the 1990's because it gets overrun by evil.

And I had a near-death experience in the 90's.

So it all sort of fits to call myself what I do.

I don't know why, but it looks like I never posted in this thread:

https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/9759

It’s where I spent most of my adult life.

Years ago I needed a unique user name and I looked up and saw my toolbox, brand name Homak. So I combined my initials, DC with Homak, and voila! dchomak.

Interesting. I knew I had seen this kind of thread before, but a simple search didn't bring it up... oops.

So, let's call this the blf username thread #2

Newlumen= finding and discover new lights. Transit from cpf.

That's all right.

The other thread has been dead for over five years, so a new one won't hurt anything.

No problem with a second thread!

Consider the word research. Usually research is thought of as quest to uncover new information, but the word re-search would suggest a second search for old information that has already been discovered before

I just did a re-search ;) and couldn't find that old thread.. raccoon city must have a good nose or a 6th sense...or something :p

I didn't search for the old thread, I bookmarked it!

I’ve probably been using skinny_tie as a username for 20 years.

Skinny Tie is a character from the song Skinny Tie Sensurround by the Scottish indie pop group Bis.

I certainly don’t want to be like the character, but I like the song and it popped into my head when I was trying to think of a username.

Nobody can blame you for NOT bookmarking the most important thread on BLF!! :p

Nice melody!
