My username: Whodathunkit came from a kid who said that very word
When he seen an Adult knock a car out of my hands :lol: and laughing about it!

The name stuck: because whodathunkit that that would actually happen. And the very first kid I helped, make these Pinewood Derby cars with, would say I needed to use that name.

And "whodathunk" that I would have gone on to make more cars with kids and to share what I know about the history with them today.
What type of automobile can be spelled the same forwards & backwards?

The guys at work started calling me "Scuba-Steve" after the "Big Daddy" movie came out as my name is Steve.
It slowly changed to "Scubersteve" and I just rolled with it. I figured it was not as bad as what they could've come up with.
I don't actually scuba though. Went once on a cruise and threw-up 30ft underwater. :eee:
true story :lol:

Goldrush was my CB handle when I was 16.

Mostly due to interest in Panning for gold, and last name is Rush.

I've been a CIO at large law firms for countless years. A very good, west coast, friend used to refer to me as the "CIO dude"

MOFAST- I am from Missouri and hope the boys are fast at Districts in 9 days. :pray: We need to be MOFAST! Last year we had over 500 boys at district so we will need to be really fast.

I couldn't think of a cool user name and since I am MOFISH on a couple other forums, I went with that. I am a dedicated Bass fisherman, I even donated some of my sinkers to my two daughter's sibling car.

I am a father of 6 yr. old triplets and a 8 yr old. Two boys and two girls, I am also a Tiger Den leader and assistant Cubmaster. The boys both made it to districts.

I have been riding motorcycles for about 43 years and Harley s for 41 years none stop. Some years back I built a Harley 1946u flat head 74 out of pieces. It was in 14 shows won 22 awards in 3 magazines and one newspaper as well as my daily rider. Took 2nds and 3rds in Daytona bike week against 50 or more in my class and I rode it to Daytona and back home. Rode it on road trips as long as 2,000 miles. It was a rider not just a show bike. I use 46u on the MANY forums I go to.

I have used my name for 20+ years. As a kid I had a Commodore 64 and my character name was StormDragon. When I transitioned to IBM PC Clone in the late 80s we were now limited to 8 characters due to MSDOS naming limitations. So i shortened my name to SirStorm. I found it easy to continue using that name after Al Gore invented the internet, and so here we are!

Post by Curse You Red Baron! »

CYRB is the cry of the Peanuts' character Snoopy, in his imaginary guise of a WWI Flying Ace, after being shot down by his arch-nemisis the Red Baron. :awww: The first PWD car I worked on with my Dad, way back in 1974, was a car driven by Snoopy in his Flying Ace getup. We accidentally "invented" (I'm sure we weren't the first) the three wheel PWD car. It was a family secret, revealed only on a 'need to know' basis. Many years later, my wife was shocked when I wouldn't tell her (luckily she is very good natured... otherwise my answer would have had to be different!) Of course, now I'm in a pack that mandates 4 on the floor :thumbdown: This is my last year with my youngest son, so this chapter is coming to a kind of close. This is very sad, since I absolutely love PWD - especially the creativity lavished on these little pine blocks. I don't have to be the fastest, I just think it's a great institution... 60 years this May! :bigups:
