[boxpin]

Just wondering if your username actually means something or would you like to share how it came to be?




I will start:

Boxpin

A small invention that never got off the ground. It was a mounting pin for truck boxes that allowed you to have a truck box in the bed of your truck but then take it off and have a pin than eyelet attached to allowing you to haul cargo. I named it that and have used that name for everything since. Even bought the domain.

[MattyXXL]

MattyXXL

Well my name is Mat...
My grandmother used to call me matty

In college they used to call me matty doubles because my initials are MGG (double G)

When i started working in aviation I had my boss order me a XXL de-icing suit.. just so I could fit my camelback over my jacket and underneath the suit and I could be comfortable at the same time... and the name kinda stuck..
that and mat-jack-ass or the jackass-onus

So there it goes.... the evolution of my screen name.... You should all feel honored for reading this.

[Burn-E]

Was my avatar when I first started. Any questions?

First considered making my user name l'étranger to speak to the absurdities of life in the vein of Camus but Burn-E offers a more comical take on the same Sysiphean hero who struggles to overcome the insane challenges others impose upon us. Ultimately he finds happiness in the task.

To me, that is what it means to own a Volvo.
