There is no end to my fascination with other peoples screen names, how did they come up with that, is there a significance or deeper meaning, if i figure it out, will it lead me to buried treasure?
Seriously, if you care to share how you came up with yours, if it means omething,or if like me, you just thought up something quickly,easily remembered because you were just coming here to ask a question about a polk product and would not be here for long:rolleyes:, i really would be interested.

My son use to collect pokemon cards, that was taken as well as the Polk version, so I kind of reversed it.

It's my name...

Easy!!

t - The first letter of my first name.
reitz - My last name
3 - In memory of Dale Earnhardt Sr.
These combined make up my moniker, treitz3. Reitz is German and is pronounced like the word "rights". Most of the time folks give me a call for the first time off the forums, they pronounce my moniker like the word "treats". Cracks me up every time but I know full well that they don't know any better.

My wife, sometimes, says...."well aren't you just so f'in perfect you should have a halo around your head?" She says that in a sarcastic way by the way. So it kinda stuck with me all these years. And 71 is when I was born. And I use to have a few Halo custom guitars in my collection. Not to be associated in any way with the video game.--Gary--

Came up with mine in 1995 with the aide of a random name generator. My goal was to find an internet handle that was completely unique. It was unique up until about 2000, when an author named Christine Feehan wrote a novel with a (female) vampire named Syndil. After that became popular, of course other people started to name themselves after one of their favorite characters and my hold on the moniker was no longer exclusive. However, I do own the domain, and in the majority of cases, if you see Syndil on the internet, it's me.

That sounds like my ol' redneck buddy Jerry down in Atlanta talking. He would, however, omit hairy and add in bald because we both are.

At first I used my real name and location. One day it occurred to me that was not very bright since anyone with a propensity for burglary could get my address from the phone book and rob me. Especially after stating I just bought this and that. At the time I was driving a blue VW Fox, so that became my nom de plume.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

I somehow got linked to this nickname from a friend at a party (a long, long time ago) while enjoying too many beverages. This refers to Thorton Melon from Back to School and the name has stuck. I loved Rodney in that movie so I guess the reference could have been a lot worse._____________________________________________________________________________________________

my screen name "headrott" came from back in the early 90's when my best friend and I would play "early" online video games such as "DukeNukem3D" and "Rise Of The Triad", etc. My friend had a screen name of "spithead" and I wanted something to compliment that name. The shortened version of "Rise Of The Triad" was ROTT and so I combined the "head" portion of my friends screen name and the "ROTT" from "Rise Of The Traid" and it became "headrott". I've used it as a screen name ever since. Don't play online video games much anymore however.
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

Mine was a nickname I had among high school friends back in the '90's. Was really obsessed with zombie movies from the likes of Romero, Fulci, etc. The 2000 part made it sci-fi or something. Who knows? Either way, people just started calling me ZB or ZB2K. Some will still call me that if I haven't seen them in a while. So yeah...I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore
