Rollyrogers33…

It is my email that was created 8-9 years ago after my very first email account was hacked (baseparrothead). Base is a college nickname and of course Jimmy Buffet fan. I had join this site just a month after my son was born. I was working like a dog, watching the baby and then combing the city at night just starting curbco. Before I was walking for miles picking aluminum cans and then graduated to curbco. What a success story!

When I created my account on this forum I was half asleep and had screwed up on the username part. When I had finally realized what I had done. I didn't know how to change it and hoped that I would never have to explain it. I knew I would get pegged with the Roy Rogers jokes or comments.

I can't really remember how I came up with the name. My real name is Rob.

[Haztech5]

I've been been on a volunteer technical rescue/hazmat team for 14 years and I'm a hazmat technician, on the team my call sign is Sierra-5, so it's haztech5. My "real" job is babysitting incarcerated juvenile drug addicts. I scrap for relaxation and to help make ends meet.

Well mines obvious --i'm in england.
Over 20 years ago as a single father (Daughter now 23!!),Times were hard any money harder to comeby was crime or hard work so this is where my life time with scrap started!
Soon as my daughter was at school i made extra money (Birthdays/christmas and children are a bit costly)On foot at first copper cable/tube/brass and aluminium my metals of choise.
Strip cable after she was in bed the later at night the better (more copper)
Then after finding a realy good childcarer - into full time employment - But by then the bug had bit and i was a hopeless addict to metal!
Now its habit i still can't stop and even after over 20 yrs get a real 'high' out of every find free money and it fits around my day jobs.

[junkfreak]

I've always been a bit hyper. Lot of energy. One of my nicknames as a teen was freak.I give 100% to everything. Once Iam motivated I become the motivator. Some people find this "freakish" but they are usually lazy people. When I started scrapping its the same way. So when I had to come up with a name it was a nobrainer. Fun thread!

[Patriot76]

Rest of the story, graduated in 1976 from high school at Mt. Rushmore from a school where the mascot was the Patriots. Did not appreciate the New England Patriots until I was invited to a deaf bar in Boston to enjoy a playoff game. Could not communicate in words or sign language, but had a great time. Final nail in the coffin for my screen name.

[mrbillbus]

My name is Bill and everyone calls me Mr. Bill. My wife and I worked with preschool kids at church way back when and that is what they called me. It stuck to where the adults (including my older brother) call me that also. Well, there must be no shortage of Mr. Bills around because I could never find it as an available name for any email or forum. So since I also drove bus to get the kids to the church I added that to stand out from the rest.

[BroJer]

In the beginning, in a land farrrrrrrr farrrrrrrr away, Cincatucky, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in the middle of the last century, there was a beautiful, bouncing, baby boy, born nekid. His momma and daddy named him Gerald. But they never called him that. His daddy called him Jerry. Daddy was from Germany. Momma called him Jury. Momma was from Tennessee. Go figure.

Welllllll as he started to get part growed up and stuff, people just called him bro. Hey bro. What up bro? whatchoodoin bro? Soz, da infamous BroJer was born. Or is that reborn. More like made up. Ok, it's short and it works.

But ... if I ever gets alllllllllll the way growed up and stuff, I still wanna be just like Mec!

The end.

Not anywhere near as interesting... spinroch is a contraction of my first name, last name & my city.

If you did not reply soon, a story would have been created. It would have been way off base.

Silly Patriot..a story will still be spun.(ha!)

I'll save my take for the clubhouse, not sure how long it'd last here in the public section.

Sirscrapalot - Spinning tales of the great Spinroch, an some of it might even be truthful.

Let the spinroch tales begin!

Mine didn't start here, but it's here now.

I was watching tv (RCA tv) and had my fingers resting on 987 for some reason...

It was just one of those times when every 'cool' name is taken so you start looking around the room you're in.
