    I've noticed some pretty interesting screenames on here and some that are pretty self explanatory; JoeTruth, Allison, Rob, etc...hehe. Just curious what your SN means and why did you choose it?

    I'll go first.

    foofighter: as easy as it is to think that i like foofighters the musical group. The name actually came about post WWII when pilots were reporting flying red orbs shadowing them. They thought at the time that they were Russian experimental plans so they coined the term foo fighters. Since i'm into things like x-files etc the SN has stuck on just about every forum i'm registered on.

    My name is Joe and I always tell the truth. Isn't that pretty self-explanatory?

    Since I am a parrotthead...

    Took mine from the lyrics of a Jimmy Buffett song...jason mason was an expatriot living in out in some jungle town in the Congo. Just kinda liked the sound of it.
    Jimmy Buffett songs are a great source for screen names, passwords...and inspiration for drinking!

    I used to drive an integra so integradriv3r is what i decided upon since i liked cars. Now I drove a Honda Fit so you'd think I would have changed the name but I'm just too lazy i guess.

    I'm not really sure.... I showed up at an LBS with my brand new Top-o-the-line Gary Fisher, and they invited me on a "little ride" (12-15mi. 2000ft). They just kept sayin' "C'mon Fred, you can be a Mtnbikerfred!!!

    Y'know, they waited for me at the top of every climb that day, just long enough for me to catch my breath, suck down some goo, and down we went. It was hard, but I kept going.

    Somehow, the name stuck.

    the BR is for my favorite band, Bad Religion. The punkRock is for my favorite type of music, and I have just used it for all my general screen names since the dawn of the internet.

    I got my nickname at the first restaurant I worked at. The older cooks thought I looked like Pugsley from the Adams family and eventually it got shortened like all words in a kitchen.

    5,280 ft is the elevation of where I used to live in Denver, now I live at about 270 ft in Oceanside. Colorado doesn't post the population (since we don't have as many people) as you enter new towns, but the elevation.
