Meanings behind Monikers (Screen-names)

I spend the majority of my time in the winter snowmobiling in the "the county" - my favorite place to be!

Hence my screen name which now seems rather boring after reading these :) NE Tremor = as most of my time is spent exploring New England in one way or another...motorcycle, snowmobile, ATV, or of course - The Tremor
 
When I was much younger, I used to be a bit of a video gamer. At one point, I needed a forum handle, and the game I was most active with at that moment was Quake II. The enemy race in that game was the Strogg. I went with it, and it just stuck for well over 20 years.
Back in the day when cable modems first came out, I found a Counter Strike server and joined a game. This was my first time playing a multiplayer game. When I died the very first time, I was put in spectator mode. I could walk around but not do anything. I immediately logged off of the server, changed my player name to "spectator" and logged back into the server. People were freaking out that a spectator was killing them. ?
 
I enjoy the random off topic conversations going on with the group and I’ve see this question come up a few times and I figured I’d start a thread for it. Anyone who wants to describe their forum name and any reasons behind it, here’s your place to do it.
I was in a motorcycle club, and I didn't really care where we were going to ride, just when and where we would stop to eat, and I earned "Lunch Box" as my road name!
 
I owned a Raptor for 8 years - I was looking for a 7 letter specialty plate that would fit.

Carnivor = KRNIVOR (73) now got added on due to my upcoming 7.3 L gasser on the new '22 Sport on order.
 
I used to have(for 10 years) a 2006 ZX14. I got to hanging out with a group of sport bike riders. We partied a lot and dragged knees in the twisties and on track. The ZX14 is a big big sport bike, but, I would usually run up front and it was a nickname out of irony. It kinda just stuck. Ended up just getting a dedicated track bike(2008 CBR600RR) and basically stopped riding on the street after getting addicted to the track.
 
Alabama football fan my whole life. Spelling “Roll” as “Rawl” is a nod to the folks who call into the Paul Finebaum Show and yell “Rawl Tideeee Pawwllll”

Not the most creative but oh well.
 
I grew up out on the Arizona desert. That was a looooong time ago. So the name seemed to fit. I don't resemble the current urban cowboy wannabies much, but I guess that just means I'm genuine. I wear tactical gear more than chaps, so maybe there isn't much cowboy left in me anymore. I can still live for days in the desert without dying of sun stroke so I have that going for me.
 
Nothing special for mine
