Re: playbox, how did you choose / get your nickname?

Interesting to note that it is addressed to my nickname and I have missed replying. Playbox is part of my company name (I am the director). My company is an importer/exporter of video games consoles/systems and accessories and the two main items are Playstation and Xbox. I just merged the names of the two big brands. FYI, I don't do retail so please don't ask me for the price of PS2, PSP, NDS lites, XBox 360 etc.

Hey guys,

As the title goes...how did you choose or get your nickname?

Mine is just my name, so i don't really count. How about yours?

Hi Ryan,

I guess it is easy for me to remember my real name is, if you know how to space the words.. hehe.
lots of people think the number I chose is could be the first thing in their mind that is the year that I am born to this world or so.. but it is my favourite lucky number ever since I am in my childhood days..
I am not young anymore, LAO LIAO.:), but I am hoping to tell anyone that I am one of a shareholder in one of the most popular budget hotel you see everywhere. :)

Thanks for asking !

cheers!

Re: limeugene81, how did you choose / get your nickname?

I adopted my nick from the American Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic, who inspired the Oliver Stone Movie "Born on the Fourth of July" and also "Platoon".

Conceived the nick at the time as I was doing a thesis at the time on The Psychological Impact of the Vietnam War on American Combat Troops as well as another thesis on The Illustration of American History through War Films Past and Present, of which I had used Ron Kovic's story and the Oliver Stone film as reference.

Re: TheWhiteCometOfMakati, how did you choose / get your nickname?

It started with drift superstar Takahashi Ryosuke who was otherwise known among those seasoned midnight drifters in the Gunma Prefecture as: TheWhiteCometOfAkagi.

People have told me that I have similar traits with him in addition to the color sheme of our cars. Well everything but the intense drifting skills... :(

I live in the city of Makati in the Philippines --- hence my handle: TheWhiteCometOfMakati

Re: 45sinarow, how did you choose / get your nickname?

Hi my nick was simply reflecting my BMW relationship
Owned
1993 - 520i
1998 - 520i
2000 - 520i
2006 - 523i current ride
So I've owned four 5 series sedans consecutively.
Had good experiences with all of them , still getting used to my latest one which is less than 2 months old.
I find with new cars it takes me a while before I feel it is 'mine'.
Nevertheless it drives like a dream;-)
