User Name Meaning?

[chateauricher]

chateauricher = Chateau-Richer ... the city in which I now live -- bought a house and moved there in Sept 2004.

I am a night-owl/vampire (I work full-time nights) and could have gone with something like that for a username, I suppose. Oddly enough, I usually sleep best when the sun shines...

I could have chosen CFCR, for chemin de fer de Charlevoix (a shortline CN subsidiary) ... the railroad that passes my house.

I could have gone with IslandViewRR... the name I have chosen for my layout (because I can see the Island of Orleans from the window in my layout room); but I only decided on that name after signing on here. So I use it instead as my AOL address reserved for train-related correspondance.

[choochin3]

My wife has a lot to do with my screen name.
When I go down to the local MARC station to watch trains, my wife would say,
"are you going choochin again?"
I thought that would be a unique name but lo and behold.
choochin1,and choochin2 were taken so I would be choochin3.

Cheers,
Carl T.

[jxtrrx]

My two hobbies; Model Railroading and I collect Rock N Roll Oldies (was a radio disc jockey for years). Railroad tracks and rock & roll tracks. My first name is Jack. Could've done JacksTracks, but i thought the "RR" in "trrx" was cute since it captured Railroads and Rock n Roll. If I was doing it over, I'd just use my name.

[cefinkjr]

Registered when I first found the MR forums in ????. Still can't remember the user name from that first registration. Using my name (and my eMail address) solves the memory problem.

Well, almost solves the memory problem. I have a Very Local Home Page (it lives on my C-drive) with user names and passwords for most of the sites my wife and I visit frequently. THAT really solves the memory problem.

[Seamonster]

Seamonster is an in joke between my daughter and me that started when she was just a little girl. No, I won't go into the details and embarass her because she's all grown up now and has a daughter of her own. She's very artistic and has drawn many pictures of Seamonster, including the one in my signature.
