So I have been Wondering....

[Sonic101]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Genesis was my first video game and Sonic continues to be my favorite video game character even if his games haven't been that great (slight bias because super-speed is also my favorite super power); 101 is mostly random but its also kinda like the stereotypical introductory course in college. I modified the colors of a Sonic logo to make it Super Sonic for the thumbnail.

HA, I love it!  That was our first game system we bought for our kids, and we fell in love with Sonic, as well.  We just dug out the old Genesis earlier this year and played it.  So much fun!

...and I have a good sense of humour. My opinions are always valid. I always smile.

jcjohnpaint is my email.  I figured I would change it later, but could never figure out how.  I guess I'll suffer with this moniker until the end of metrojacksonville.  Next time I create a moniker, I hope to be more thoughtful and adventurous.

Hello All

I have been reading MetroJax for about two years. Ive never posted anything before but visit the site almost daily. I am a 28 year old Jax Beach resident that graduated from UF. I work at an environmental consulting company on the Southside. I choose RatTownRyan as my username because RatTown is a local term for Atlantic Beach, were I grew up. Hopefully the first post is the hardest and I can contribute my opinion more often. Thanks for all the great stories and debate on the forum.

I live on the Westside and I'm a guy.

Born and raised in Florida...land of the sand.   Wearing sandals most of the time, it's bound to happen: sandy feet.  The 's' was added years ago when I lost the name on a very early version of AOL and I wanted it back so I added the s. 

I use it on multiple forums/places. 

Excellent question with some great answers.

[RattlerGator]

As for me, it's obviously my first name, last initial, but I use it as a memory of my father, who passed away in 1975.  He was the only one who ever called me that, so it represents my keeping his memory alive.

Bravo, TimmyB, bravo.

Discovered by the Germans in 1978, they named me Daveeeeeed, which of course means...eh nevermind.  scholars maintained the translation was lost, long ago.

[Wacca Pilatka]

I wanted to use a Jacksonville historical reference for my screen name.  Wacca Pilatka was ostensibly a Timucuan term for the area where downtown Jacksonville sits today - roughly meaning a place where cows could cross the river (due to its being narrow enough to be forded).  Though the "Is 'Cowford' Just A Big Lie?" thread here on MJ pokes a number of sizable holes in that story, including the etymology.

[CG7]

My initials are CGM, but when I got my class ring it had the initials CG7. My friends have called me CG7 ever since.

[Gators312]

My apartment was 312 when I lived in Gainesville, and I was a Gator.  It's been my handle ever since.

I pee standing up, duh!

"That means he's a guy." Oh contraire dairy free, I could be using one of these things. https://go-girl.com/

Correct - it's a Seminole term! It's a corruption of the Muskogee (Creek) terms wakv ("cow") and pilotaikita ("crossing" or "boat crossing") - ie, "Cow Ford".
