Handle?? was created by monkey44
We called ourselves by a "handle" in the CB world before CPUs and email emerged in the world. Now we have "screen names" ... couple on the other board tell us the origin of the name -- so why not share it with us on this post started just for that...

Monkey44 -- studied monkeys and apes as a behavior anthropologist at UCLA in California many years ago for a BA degree. Love that field, and continued camping and studying wildlife and nature afterwards during my "Camping Life" ... so the name Monkey44 emerged some time ago. Birth year 1944 gives "44" ... You all mi ght be surprised how much like our "cousins" we really are. :D ::)

Obviously, I don't have a hidden meaning in my "handle". But I'm glad this topic got started. It's always interesting to see what these strange screen names mean. Like "Monkey44" - now it makes some sense. :o

Right Larry -- some are pretty obvious -- but I'd like to see why anyone picks a unique name ... it's interesting and often tells a little about the person too.

Probably a few people we know out there too that would not like a "handle" we'd choose for them if we had the opportunity ... ;D ;D

my "handle", "moniker", "pseudonym", etc. is Navyzone. I retired from the Navy in 1978 and now work at an Autozone store, so I use Navyzone.

Well the guys in my unit ...wow... that was a long time ago were into that Star Trek thing
and loved the Klingons so They started calling me Chancellor and It stuck. Believe it or
not when I retired they gave me a Complete Klingon uniform headpiece and all.

I love the &%4# Thing! I never fail to win at Halloween parties
