    Back in the 1970's I was one of the younger guys collecting old sprint cars and Four Banger Ford speed equipment. Bill LaRosa who put out the Hot Line newsletter started calling me The Kid. A big goal of mine is to have a restored 1937 Harley, just like the one my Dad bought new, so I became The37Kid.

    53burb. Well, who the hell else would want it? Who the hell wants a '53 suburban to begin with? I would call that self explanatory! KNUX and that is for knuckles for those that want to know!
     
  5. Not a damned thing so far as I know. Just a synthetic invention with automobile and petroleum codifiers giving the illusion of meaning. The real value for me is the cadence and how it rolls off my tongue. It rolls off my tongue and hits the screen here. I wipe it off and continue....... Actually the tongue is only truly engaged at mid-palate for the "Z" in Benzine. The real flicking of spit comes when I hit the "F"s in 440.

    It is still somewhat revolting nontheless.

    SATINBLACK MY ASS!!! You mean little primer spots and surface rust!!!? :D I came to land the nick name "hip" from first , being a long hair in a job working directly with the military, and my boss never called any of us our real names in fact i was refered to as "That.... fuck'in hippie". So anyway Satin's wife didn't like callin me hippie like everyone else so she shortened it to "hip" and its hung on for 18 years now, and i dont see any reason why it won't stick till im pushin up daisy's :eek:.

    Vol 1 #1 HOT ROD mag, first annual hot rod exposition. first line reads.... Long regarded as a (screwball) diversion for a lot of reckless kids with more nerve than brains, the building and racing of hot rods has finally come to be recognized as a major sport in the area. And then they built it from there

    I used to modify cylinder heads for a living.

    Sometimes I stayed late at the garage to catch up on some port jobs, and I would do a couple lines of Coke to stay awake.

    I laughed uncontrollably when I did coke, and I was grinding the hell out of some old 390 FE heads.

    10 years later and the name still sticks... most people just shortened it to "mad", though.

    Biscuit-It's my real life nickname. Come's from an 80's mainstream punk movie. One of the characters eats dog biscuits, I was munching on one when we were watching it. The rest is history.

    Oh, yeah, the name. Willow, Alaska-early 90s maybe. My two closest friends and myself all live next door to each other. We get teased by the guys from Talkeetna about who is bigger hillbillys and one day the name Willowbillys popped up and that's what we were after that. One of us original three (Big Glenn, an old rock and rollin roady from Cali.) died unexpectadly in 96, then Tom moved and finally me. The 3 is for the original 3 Willowbillys. Before that we were the Willow Creek social club and the regulators when we rode.

    The Green Mountain Boys were a malitia formed by Ethan Allen to protect the land that later became VT from the English. Some say they commited the first act of aggresion against England in the revolutionary war. Oh yea,,,they first met in a tavern:D .

    My name is Darryl and when I worked some guys started calling me derelict. It fit and I liked it.
     
  24. I guess if this thread is determined to live, I should at least participate. I got my name right after I joined the Navy in'72. The old-timers called the Enlisted Club at the base the "animal locker", because that's where all the young guys went to get hammered cheap, then stumble through their own puke back to the barracks. I fit the bill pretty well. That was the start of a few people mumbling "animal" when I entered a room. Then in '73, while in Athens Greece, I was administering the "Timex test" to an American barmaid on the back bar at a local GI hangout. The English girl who ran the joint caught us & hollers "You bleeeeeedin' ANIMAL!" From that moment, that's been my name. My wife calls me that, and 90% of the people I know don't even know my real name. I've mellowed out a lot since then, but the name stuck.

    My dad's side of the family came to TEXAS just before TEXAS became a country. Last name was Sponheimer. They wanted a more modern name for the new world so they changed it to Spoonemore.
    That's kindof long for your buddys to call you, so somewhere down the line, all the men in my family were just called Spoon. Hell, up 'till two years ago, I still had a 97 year old Uncile Spoonie driving around Hunt county.


    I think my real name is Scotty.

    I used to promote and tour manage punk bands and I was sick of hearing all these little kids puttin' each other down at every show
    ...I'm punker than you...no, I'm punker than you...he's not punk....bullshit! Anyway, I thought what could be more punk than being unpunk...so there ya go! I've had that e-mail and nickname since 1991.

    New signature line:
    Less punk than you, since 1991!
