your call sign?

[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,

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

Big = me (unfortunately not tall)

Joe = me

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.
