    pronounced 'bee-juu'

    ... interesting thread. I like...

    Brief background: my name is bill. my father's name is also bill... now continue reading....

    The nickname 'biju' was given to me by a group of friends while watching an episode of The Simpsons. In season 4, episode 'Marge vs. The Monorail', Bart declares "dad, you're my hero". Homer replies, "Really son? Do you want to change your name to Homer, Jr? The kids could call you 'Hoju'."

    Without hesitation and almost in total synch a few in the group looked towards me and shouted, "Biju!". A nickname was born...

    Ok, here is a geeky one for ya....

    I always play videogames, when I am not making them. When I first got into multiplayer games like Quake and UT, I SUCKED. I sucked so bad, that I needed a name for myself ingame that let everyone know that I was an easy target. First, I was ChewToy, then later, I became WormGod. WormGod simply because, worms tend to be associated with corpses, and as much as I died in these games, I would surely have to be the god of them.

    Btw, I still suck at multiplayer games, haha.

    Geeze I don't even remember anymore. I've use it since I can remember for Email addresses, gamer Tags, Xbox Live and the like. I've even got a couple of friends who call me "Uneven" as an everyday nickname. I wanna say I picked it up in Jr. High or something... how sad is it that I'm only 21 and my memory is already going on me Now this is gonna bug me all night.

    UNEVEN THOUGHTS can't remeber where the name came from? Now THAT'S funny!!!

    O.K. now mine... it's simple really. I'm not a fan of the daytime (even less so of mornings), and never have been. I have NCTRNL vanity plates on both my VehiCROSS & my Ducati. Oh, and it's an Ebont VX too. So now I'm known as nocturnalVX on each and every Isuzu forum.
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    Never thought reading call signs would be entertaining but it's kept me from working for 20 minutes.

    Mines rather obvious as I'm in England and own a VX. I'm thinking of changing it though as I think it sounds a bit flag waving which I'm not.

    I have been a rock climber going on 17 years now and a "Crag" is a rock area to go climbing. I didn't like the spelling with two G's, so I just use this. When I started using it, I was 34 years old.....gonna be 40 this year.

    One picture is worth a thousand words...

    Yes, it sits in my garage, except when the weather is perfect.
