Racinbob 10,281 #8 Posted November 12, 2017 My buddies tagged me with it back in the early 70's for what should be obvious reasons It has stuck with me all these years and it's my user name on everything. Thinking back it's amazing that I never got a ticket for my street driving habits. 10 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,551 #11 Posted November 12, 2017 When I joined this forum 11 years ago I was an electrician, on construction sites if someone didn't know your name you were always referred to as "Sparky". I did that job from 1986 till 2010 before I made a huge career change, but I still liked the nickname so Im keeping it 👍 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,230 #24 Posted November 12, 2017 Well, it happened some years ago. You see, I am the poster child for hating change and technology. I think it was all about cell phones, and I liked the one I had...it was and is still just a cell phone...that is all it does. My wife called me a dinosaur and my friend Tom went one more step and called me Stevasaurus. Needless to say, it stuck. I still live in the 60's, I still use my "reel to reel" "8 track player" "cassettes". I have a VCR on 3 TV's. I still use Windows 97 and DOS 6.2. When I go to the doctor's office, I pull a magazine off the rack and read it while waiting. And while we are at it...what was ever wrong with regular "Fig Newtons"??? Why do we have to have "Strawberry Newtons".?? At least Farm & Fleet still carries Chunkys...but like dinosaurs...they are getting harder to find. My 2014 Silverado has electric windows and I hate em...takes me 8 or 9 tries to set the window where I want it. I could not buy that truck with crank windows. I was a lineman for the phone company for over 10 years before getting into splicing back in the 70's...today, I would be an Outside Plant Technician...same job. How stupid is that?? When someone asks me if I text...I just get this real funny look and say "What?" Well, anyway, that's how I got the name, and that is just Swell. 21 2 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,509 #25 Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) My family owns a old Allis Chalmers Ag dealership and my uncle started a Heating and Cooling business in the mid 80’s . I started working summers with him along working at the store and living/working on our dairy farm. In 96 I went into the HVAC trade full time but had to stop at our store everyday . So I like big orange tractors and installed my share of air conditioners . So mine has a double meaning. Edited November 16, 2017 by ACman 20 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
