your call sign?

[Francesco Rizzo]

After like 4 months of looking for a vx, I finally found one. The same night I did a 7 hour round trip to boston to pick up mine, I signed up to this site and in my excitement I accidently filled my full name into the "username" spot.. So I'm now known as Francesco Rizzo

[Child's Play]

I got mine from "Childs" = Last Name and Play (NO, not the movie with Chucky!). This was the headlines that the newpapers used to use when I played High School Football. My girlfriend also says it fits me, because she says that I'll never grow up, even though my toys keep getting more and more expensive!!! Just bought an 04' SVT Cobra! Man will this thing haul a**!

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

okay....here goes nothing...lol...

I bought my white IronMan edt. Vehicross and couldn't help but notice that when the tires and cladding were darkened by tire shine and protectants
along with the black hood insert and black leather bra that it reminded me of the contrasting white/black colors found on a "Jolly Roger" pirate flag. I also felt people (vandals) would be less likely to mess with my ride if thoughts of death were conveyed by said vehicle...lol. (I also have the grimm reaper tattooed on my side windows.)

I found this site and learned of the affectionate term "VX" for our vehicles and that we are "VX'ers"....so I combined it all and came up with
"Jolly Roger VX'er"!

[geshaw30]

The initials & last name speak for themselves.
The "30" was my goaltender number when the minor leagues used to pay me the minimum to let countless pucks into the net.

[SkidPlate]

My nick does not refer to any undercarriage protection, or cosmetic enhancements on my VX, as you may have suspected.

I've actually used this handle online since the early 90's, (long before I had the need for any such vehicle augmentation). As yal^ pointed out, anonymity is always a concern on IRC. So when I started hanging out there a lot I decided I needed a good handle, about the same time I heard the Jerky Boys refer to somebody as SkidPlate, and it stuck.

[cascabel3]

I worked in a snake farm in Wolfenbuettel/Germany as a herpetologist for a short time. Reptiles were my specialty. After coming to the States I got into catching rattlers (I do it by hand and release them, no harm done) and fell in love with them. After a stint to the Colombian Amazon I found out that they called their version of rattlesnake "Cascabel" (literally rattle) and this name stuck.

[Moncha]

I signed up to this site and in my excitement I accidently filled my full name into the "username" spot..

^ I can fix that if you want..

well my call sign here is HeepOwner be cause I own a Jeep wrangler, but I found this site after meeting a few of you at attica during faters day last year (2004) and met Yal^ at a run that I put on in attica in august for all 4 wheelers of any make or model.

^ I love it when differences are put aside

This is a most excellent thread..

My nickname comes from a very beloved pet named Freckles. When she was way up there in age, she would nibble at your fingers thinking you were gonna give her a treat. While watching the movie "Cave Man" with Shelly Long and Ring Star, the part where the T-Rex was chasing the actors and the actors kept turning around yelling "moncha, moncha!" was on,Freckles was chasing my hand wanting something to eat and I yelled out, "moncha, moncha!" The nickname stuck for Freckles. Since then, dear Freckles has passed on to the great meadow in the sky.

After seeing the VX for the first time, my wife, Laura said the VX's front end looked like a monster, leading me to say "moncha, moncha!"... Well, THAT stuck and since then I've been known as Moncha.

Here's the kicker, later, we found out through some spanish speaking friends, in slang terms around our parts, moncha means little spot or freckle... Go figure!

Now you all know my deepest secret!

Hello Scott,

I was wondering when you were going to chime in. I have been wondering what MONCHA meant. Nice story.

In spanish MANCHA means spot or stain. Pecas means freckles. You don't want to refer freckles as mancha (spot or stain on a persons physical features) because it is very rude.

Funny how moderator and MONCHA fit. Just like the T-rex the moderator can enforce discipline when needed. MONCHA! MONCHA!

Cheers,

[BigJoe]

Well............

Big = me (unfortunately not tall)

Joe = me

[JAFO]

I got mine from one of my favorite movies that was also a popular tv series when I was growing up in the 80's. JAFO is from the movie Blue Thunder. But if you want to know what it means your going to have to watch the movie.

[Raque Thomas]

Mine's pretty tough to figure out:
Raque = first name
Thomas = last name

with an unusual name, I never run up against the problem of not being able to use my name, so it's never occured to me to use something else. I guess the only other thing I've been called (that's repeatable here!!) is Rocko.
