How did you derive your username?

October was my 5th anniversary on the RX8Club. In that time I have come to know a great many of you and since starting BHR I have come to meet thousands of people from the RX8Club website.

One thing that I always find amusing are the varieties of chosen usernames and that causes me to wonder;

How did you come up with your username?

Friend gave it to me in Battlefield1942, been too lazy to change it since. It can be very entertaining sometimes, especially on XboX Live.

The Job I loved the most was as a 'expediter' for various TGI Friday's. "Expo" as it was called was a great time for me. I was very good at it, some said the #1 Expo

own an `05 shinka and my initials.

Funny thing is i was in the AF and had to initial much of my property on my first base, my techschool "as proof of ownership". Anyway, one day during inspection, the 1st shirt kept asking who is Major? We're all standing there wondering what he was talking about... So he brought out i think a coffee mug of mine with the initials on the bottom and we all busted up laughing. that ended up being a nickname for the rest of my time in techschool. I was an E-3 at the time.

Was real funny when friends would say "Hey Major" and newer trainees who didn't know me would start looking around wondering if they should stop and salute.

JRichter aka Johnny Richter which I was jokingly called by friends in the mid to late 90's for reasons related to a rap group member named Johnny Richter (some of you may know) which we were all listening to at the time and shortly after I used as an "online" name for not wanting to use my real name and used it or variations of it ever since. I think I'm "JayRichtr" on RX7Club.
