My screen name is explaned very simple: J. stands for Juergen, my first name - B. stands for my nick name Bonny, which was given to me 22 years ago - and Saxon is just the translation of my german last name. So the name was created and used as my reenactors alias since nearly two decades. Simple but long lasting.

I was stumped for a screen name so I started going through my record collection and looking at song titles. Ella Fitzgerald's version of "I'm Old Fashioned" is one of my favorites and seems to sum me up decently. I was surprised it hadn't been taken yet.

I was in the military for 20 years, 14 of it Coast Guard (aka Lifesavers) gives me the rescuer.

combine the two for raiderrescuer and I can use it in most of the forums I visit.

Mine's just my surname. I have a christian name, but most people don't call me it as it is hard to say "Steve" in a disdainful way.

I've worked in Radio/Comedy for twenty-five years with my partner,
Sonny Fox (Now on XM Radio's Comedy Channel), and everytime one of my comedy bits failed miserably he would always turn to me and say in a very sarcastic voice: "That worked great, Funny man."

When I signed on with ebay, it wouldn't let me use Funn E. Mann, which is how Sonny spelled it, so it became Funneman.

It makes for some very humorous communcations from ebay.

Mine is a not-so-subtle reference to Kafka's story "The Metamorphosis" and its protagonist, Gregor Samsa.

Sometimes when two people around here are arguing, mostly about Nascar or high school football, one of them will end up saying "You don't know Jack Sh*t." That's where I got this name.

Means spirit grizzly bear in native american. I got dragged to a new age conference once by a former girlfriend and someone there told me it was my mystical totem. The things we do when we're in love. Oh well, at least I got a decent screen name out of the deal.;) lol

A pet cockroach? This is a new concept for me...

RED, is my favorite color. KNIGHT, is a reminder of men with honor, integrity and purpose. 1775, is the year my beloved Corps came into existence...

I began using this as an e-mail name since I was a kid, it just stuck. It’s about 7 years old now and still going strong. WOW time flew by!

I've been lurking for over three months now...

...So I figure it's time to introduce myself. This seems like the best thread to do it.

I live in West Michigan and have been a fedora lover for years. Unfortunately, fedoras aren't too common around here, especially with people in their mid-20's, like myself. So my hats make me an individual.

I chose SinatraStyle as my screen name because I think it describes me (and my personality) pretty well. To borrow a famous lyric, "I did (do) it my way." Always have and it seems to be working just fine.

Cheers

One year I had been making sachet's as gifts. The first time I signed up to be online, as I was talking to the Sysop setting up the account, he asked me for a screen name.

My gaze flew around the room and paused on a sachet. Voila!

My Screen Name

Mine is from the Australian hat with one side of the brim buttoned to the crown. Usually worn by the Australian military. I also thought it sounded like a cool nickname for a wide-brimmed fedora. But I'm no slouch!
