Being in the Coast Guard, the Navy calls us puddle pirates because we usually don't go in water past our ankles. I'm an avid mountain biker and road cyclist so pedalpirate seemed to fit!
 
Used to race ATV motocross and flat track. Red-Honda, Thumper-slang for 4stroke, 9- riding number. Redthumper9
 
Always tend to say Giddy Up (ever since I heard Kramer say it), the Joe part, I really have no clue. guess it just sounded catchy. WORST screen name story ever.:yawn:

Makes sense, but you didn't explain where the name pedaplirate came from? :-)
 
Great thread. My tactical call sign in the fighter pilot world is Jaws. My jet was F16s.

As far as how I got named Jaws, well that one is only told over alcohol...
 
The "T" in topper232 is for Tony. The rest is part of my last name and the boat is a 232.
 
Mines pretty obvious, I'm a Brit and I boat in the US, easy :D
 
I have a side job building decks. The extra $ is what allows me all the extra toys!
 
My first name is Nathan, then that got shortened to Nate. Then some of the guys started calling me Big Nate, guess because I'm 6'5" and 300 lbs now, then that got shortened to BigN8 some crazy ass way.....
 
My name is Waylon Charles Lee Earls, Wayloncle, I've been using it for email addresses and logons ever since computers became a part of everyday life.

@Mud Skipper Your explaination cracked me up!
 
My wife and I treat the family as a team and refer to ourselves as Team Bristow. We were both athletes as kids and she was a Div 1 All American sprinter in college. We tell the kids that everyone on Team Bristow has to do their part in everything we do.
