mojopin · January 2007

RhumAndJerk · January 2007

Newbs,
RhumAndJerk breaks down like this:
Rhum is the French spelling for Rum. My last name is French and I enjoy and collect Rum from all over the world.
Jerk is in reference to Jamaican Jerk Pork. The reason that found the BGE was to make better Jerked meats.
R&J

BikesBoardsnBBQ · January 2007

Took my name from three things I enjoy very much. Bikes can be on-road, off-road, motorized or pedal. Boards for snowboards.

ronbeaux · January 2007

Newbs,
Well I guess I'm last. It started with a knickname given to me by the guys at work while in Texas. I owned a karate school and my name is ron, so... When I moved to Louisiana I changed it to ronbeaux.

AlaskanC · January 2007

Reader's Digest version....[p]I got interested in the Egg a few years ago and I really wanted one. I kept mentioning it to my husband, and he wanted to how much they cost & where to get one....etc. I told him that I would get on the Egg forum, and alaskanc (I'll ask and see).[p]After about 1/2 bottle of Crown, WessB finally got it.

Pharmeggist · January 2007

Banker John · January 2007

Newbs,
I live in the small town of Lecanto, Florida and served my community as a banker for almost 10 years before transitioning into financial planning and private banking for one of the bigger named financial services companies.[p]I showed up to a construction site and almost all of the day laborers took off when I got out of a truck wearing a suit. I guess they thought I was a lawyer or bail bondsman, LOL. Anyway, a plumber friend of mine said that I was "just Banker John." The name stuck and became known in our community as Banker John.[p]Like someone said below, it is MUCH better than the nickname I had in grade school![p]Banker John

Clay Q · January 2007

Newbs,
Well lets see,...In association with the egg my name "Clay" refers to unfired earth. In the Department of Western Asiatic Antiquities and Smokers, "terra-cotta" is referred to as "Baked Clay" and therefore "Clay" is entered as the material that is going to be fired up to high temps. Vitrification stuff. I add the Q for BBQ and....it's time for another beer.

EggRacer · January 2007

<p />Newbs,[p]I enjoy watching most all forms of automotive racing. I have attended the 1971 GP of Monaco, 1971 German GP at the Nurburgring, a Craftsman Truck Series race at TMS, a Winston Cup race at TMS and innumerable practice sessions at TMS. In addition I race NASCAR online in a league and design paint schemes for cars and trucks raced online. I bought my egg, it's on wheels, so eggracer was born.

Woody54 · January 2007

Newbs,[p]when my son was on the wrestling team in HS years ago, he wrestled a kid who was apparently quite excited, if you know what I mean, making my son very uncomfortable. When he made the mistake of telling his hockey team mates about it, he immediately got the handle of Woody. So I stole it - the story still makes me laugh 10 years later.

mad max beyond eggdome · January 2007

AlaskanC,
i LOVE that story!!! . .. and it didn't take me a 1/2 bottle of crown to figure it out either!! . ..

Poppasam · January 2007

Newbs, about twenty years ago a young man that was a good friend of my oldest daughter called me Poppasam one day and it stuck. With three daughters the name has carried over through college and now have grandkids that do the same. Have gotten some strange looks when a half dozen kids called me Poppasam at the same time.[p]Always in it "Jus-Fer-Fun"
Poppasam

Squeeze · January 2007
