What does your Freeper sign on mean? Why did you choose it?

[5by5]

My screen name, 5by5, harks back to the days of analog radio communication. It’s a subjective quality scale for signal strength and signal clarity from 1 to 5.

It basically means “loud and clear.”

It's Aramaic.

I thought it was a feminine version of Razzmatazz...

[ontap]

It’s a fun pastime!

[DannyTN]

“Danny in Tennessee who should be emperor of the universe” wouldn’t fit.

[MNJohnnie]

I’m from Jawjah!

Really? I am trying to relocate to Jawjah to be with my wife and kids in Kennesaw. Looking for job there

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I took mine from “Montana” by Frank Zappa. I’m an FZ fan and Central Scrutinizer was already taken. :)

[Billthedrill]

Mine was the code name given to me by the KGB after a successful career as a CIA assassin. No one is supposed to know that. Now I have to kill you too.

Well, OK, not really. It's a reference to a President we once had whose sexual life was...ah...well, never mind. Advice to new FReepers - choose your nick carefully. It might be with you for awhile. I chose...poorly... :-(

[billygoatgruff]

Guess! It has something to do with trolls.

[Ax]

Mine is the last syllable of my surname, and a nickname that I had for many years.

[houeto]

Mine was assigned by the company. First three letters is the city, last three my initials.

[backhoe]

Well, I’ve been online since ‘81, under several nom de plumes, and when I signed up here, every one had been taken...

Happened to be welding brackets on my backhoe that day, and in disgust, typed that in, and son of a bitch!

It went through.

Washington’s farewell address

“All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.”

[OB1kNOb]

I’ve always liked your cool sign on name. Live long and prosper (despite Obama). - OB1

[PrivateIdaho]

I was born and raised in Idaho - and the quirky song "Living in Your Own Private Idaho", by the B52's was popular when I was in college.

Alas, long after I chose my screen name, I learned that there is some gay movie by the same name.

[Artemis Webb]

Artemis Webb is a pseudonym I used for years prior to FR’s creation and my joining. Artemis come from the character of Artemus Gordon on Wild Wild West. The last name of Webb comes from Jack Webb of Dragnet fame.

[houeto]

Ping.

[Repeat Offender]

I have a tendency to offend people, repeatedly.

[Servant of the Cross]

You're our only hope ...
