Names or "handles"

I chose mine for xmarks because it's my screen name for just about everything, so people travelling in this virtual world can recognize me if they see it. Been using it for years, so it really goes on everything. For those who don't know (read: everyone) my real name is Dennis.

Siva is actually the name of a song... the first song I was able to play beginning to end on guitar without screwing up. 11 is my hockey number, and just my lucky number in general. When I signed up with my first screen name, siva11 was taken, so I added the zero. It's stuck ever since.

Animal= my earliest musical influence (the muppet)
K= my first initial

I use it on several boards, variations of my first (and still current) AOHell username.

A Landrover Freelander was the Car I had when I joined X all those years ago.....
The Sporrano bit is Xmarks legend from the Chat room in the early days. I misspelt Soprranos. What with me making Sporrans at the time it stuck. A few here still use it in ther handle too

Mine is for my current hobbey that has occupied my time for the last 6 years, which is modifying a 91 volvo 240. They're often refered to of as bricks as are most volvos produced from the 60s through to the early 90s, something to do with their aerodynamic efficency. The T refers to the turbo that was used as a part of the modification.
At this point though the car has nearly rusted out from NY weather and the transmission isn't holding too well. Once the spring arrives it'll be replaced and a new project started.

My last name...

**WARPIPER** · 13th November 08, 01:27 PM

I use a combination of my initials W.A. Reid and the fact that I am a piper

I joined the Marines in '85 and when I got to my 1st school someone had shortened my name from Scullion to Scully. I have been called many things flattering and not so much, but Scully has stuck through the ages.
