    I wanted tEChniiQue for my user name. Music related. I made a cd in 2001 and that was my stage name. The I tried just tECh but it was taken. So I came up with my current.

    I wanted kokomo but that was already taken :-(

    "Kokomo" is my very favorite song of all times... whenever I listen to it its rhythm applacates me!

    Good ol' Beach Boys rule!

    I have used MovieDud for everything. I have always been involved with Home Theaters and even installing several for family and friends. My Dvd collection is around 750, Laserdiscs 40. I really don't use the Laserdisc at all, yet I have it with a pretty cool collection. I know MovieDud is spelled with an e but then that wouldn't be different and I like being unique! Everyone typically calls me that the MovieDud!

    Hmmm very interesting MovieDud. Whenever I have seen ur name i thought the last part was actually intended to be DUD and not DUDE. wow how one little letter can change the meaning of a word completely.

    thanks skidme, It is very interesting the read throughout this post and see the variety of names, the origins, and the uniqueness! Glad I'm a part of ad and meeting a lot of neat individuals.

    back on topic, i did a search for this thread, but did not find it i guess, so i had started one up but was told it was open.....\
    so here is mine
    gear79 = gear, because i am a professional automotive technician by trade and hobby, plus, most of my friends call me a gearhead or a gearnut, so i adopted the nick, and 79 is the year of my once prized 1979 Pontiac Trans Am....

    Mine is a play on "Who Is He" which was often a comment made whenever I stepped on stage.

    OMG, I had finished HS, 3 years in the Navy, college, and 11 years into my career by the time you finished HS (I finished in '61).
