| A friend of mine was making belt buckles from the punch slugs where I worked. He showed me one that had two eyes, a smile, a dorsal fin and a tail. He asked me what I thought it was. He said it was a chesshire tuna(Alice in Wonderland..chesshire cat) It struck me as funny and I told him when I started my own company ,that is what I would call it. It was 20 years later but I have a custom fab. shop with that name and I use it as my screen name. |

Mt. Vernon, WASH. | It ties me to the bike that was named by a lady friend who, when she first saw my blacked out bike said 'that's really sinister looking' Since sinister is too many letters for a Washington State bike EGO plate, I found SYNSTR was just right and one of only 3 'takes' on sinister still on the DOL website, kinda cheesed off my son who was looking for something similar for his black with gold stripes '08 supercharged SHELBY GT 350.
I also go by RAVEN @ times, it's my totem (DONTRACY will understand) and fits me as I am a prankster and love to deliver a good tweek to some pompous fool. |

Columbia, SC | S F Alexi. My name is Alexi, and in highschool i was called Sexy Flexy Alexi. I've always been in good shape and strong, could do well in sports, pullups, etc. it was during the presidential fitness test (pullups) that this nickname arrived. Doesn't help that that's pretty much the only two things that rhyme with Alexi. |

Colorado Springs, CO | Mine is from High School... Many moons ago. Playing hoops, I'm 6'6" and WAS about 160... running sprints one day I get back to the end line, half the team is laughing (other half running with me) and my point guard said I was the Goopyest thing he's ever scene running, all elbows and knees... He's a very unique guy... anyway it stuck and people still call me goop or goopy today but now I weigh about 285... Huh, the times they are a changing. |

| Got it 20 years ago. Back in '92 I started hanging around a local CB group, back then just about every town still had those few that talked on and used CBs because that was just before small handheld cell phones came out, and due to business and my own personal travels I used to average 50K to 60K miles a year on my truck. The group I belonged to had a rule that you had to be given your handle and when everyone saw how I traveled so much they figured Travelin' Man would be the perfect handle for me. I use it on every forum I am a member of............

Land O Lakes, FL | Mine is a very old gamer tag that I had since the 286 days (if that makes sense to you your a geek too). It was originally PhantomXtreme, but that is much to long and shortened it to PhantomX. I'm a big first person shooter gamer (think back to Doom and Duke Nuke'm days) and some of the first mainstream online multiplayer games like Quake, Unreal Tournament, etc I was like a Phantom and i'm a pretty extreme player. Back when I was younger I pulled my fair share of all nighters gaming...
