What Inspired Your Screen Name?

Certainly.

My screen name comes from my mother. According to Greek tradition, I was supposed to be named George, but mom nixed that. Besides, I had two cousins named George already, they would have had to issue us numbers. Hmmm That would have made me George III.

 

Mine is plain and simple. You reap what you sow.

 

A long time ago when I started gaming, I needed a good name. So, I opened a dictionary and randomly picked Bishop. It meant "the all knowing and all seeing". Then, I just tacked my initials on the end of it. Been rolling with it ever since.

 

PizzaDevil. Because I love pizzas hehe

It is also my username in many games.

 

Volga Boatman was the name of a well known Glen Miller tune from wartime years. I also wanted to appeal to the more sensitive types who would take me for a shepard.

besides, Volga sounds a lot like 'vulgar', and 'boatmen' are hard swearing, salty types....just a matter of taste really. Real name, Christopher Jensen, the Danish version of Smith, and therefore a little too prolific. We would all like an alter ego....

 

I surf, and I drive a Samurai, hence Surfersami!

I ride a 9'7" Con CC Rider shaped by Claude Codgen.
My Samurai is an 1986 with Lockers front/rear, 3" lift, and a VW diesel engine. It ain't fast, but at 40 mpg it is very economical!

 

When I First joined the forces in 77 I came across one Hard Nose Scottish Irish Warrant Officer, Old School. He couldn't Pronounce
my last name He asked what country is that name from, I told him Spain he Replied your a Spaniard? I told Him, Yes Sir. You look
like the Type thats going to disappoint me and bring Tears to my Eyes, My Little Spanish Onion. I'll try not To Sir, I replied.

He would address me as His Little Spanish Onion or Onion when he got Pissed at me for doing Something wrong, Or Spaniard when
he was happy with my Progress.

 

Nicknames/screennames earned or given in endearment are always the coolest!
