There's 20 or so people I wish would respond and explain their screen name.
Wow! Neat resurrection from 2004!
Mine is based on my wife's frustration with some aspects of my (Placid, sterling, warm, kind, loving) personality. In particular she has no idea why I like to shoot pointy cardboard tubes up into the sky and watch them return (hopefully...).
She never really uses the term when she's frustrated with my (Placid, sterling, warm, kind, loving) personality. But it's as close as I could get to something approaching rocketry - i.e blast off...
Hope that was one you were waiting for, @hobie1dog!

Inspired by the Kerbal Space Program community's "high kinetic energy lithobraking" meme.

some are obvious, but like mine, some not so...

My screen name comes from Doctor Who, you know, relative dimensions and all that...
Why not start with your own and then list the ones you would like to have respond here.
BTW - My name is David ( "Dave" ) and I am not a small person ( "easy to see" ) . . . The "Ez2cDave" was inspired by custom license plates on hot rods ( "IDOXLR8", "BYE4NOW", "CUL8TR", etc. ).

I think mine's pretty self explanatory. But...I no longer have it so maybe not so much?
My initials, what I am, the year I was born.
How I tend to go to excessive lengths sometimes when building stuff.

How do you even find an 18-year-old thread to restart it?

I build actual spaceships as a career, but Rocketry keeps me happy and sane.

Mine is a tribute to my favorite professional candlepin bowling team, the Northeast Illinois Wallyknockers.
Very excited that ESPN8 (the Ocho) is now broadcasting all their matches.

Marvin the Martian's Funkworks is where Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works gets all their ideas.

My middle initial is “T” and friends in the Navy couldn’t figure out what it was, one guessed Tiberius and I laughed which immediately indicated to the group that was it. I picked it here as an homage to James Tiberius Kirk who is based on (British) Capt. James Cook… thinking my L3 rocket will be called “Endeavor”.

OK because I’m from Oklahoma. Turbo from my ‘87 Grand National…turbo V6 Corvette killer (back in the day).
Here’s me and Mrs. OKTurbo out getting burgers with the old Buick.

When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!

Before I got back into rocketry, my hobby was designing / building Hot Rods. My last one was based on a 1927 Ford Roadster Pickup, built in the style that the guys coming back from WWII built to race on dry lake beds in California and Utah.
These cars were known as "Lakes Roadsters".

So, what does "hobie1dog" mean ?I simply typed in "screen name" in the search bar. 50% of the screen names confuse me.
