For opposites, shouldn't you call them "greeny"? :lol:

I started off on here as bngiles. First and middle initial and last name. Got tired of being referred to as b-jingles. So went even easier with my first name and last initial.

When I first joined AOL back in 03-04 sometime, I tried about 50 different variants of Justin, but they were all taken. I am a big Mazda fan, in particular, Rotaries. At the time the only reason I was getting on the internet was to research RX-7 info, so Justinspeed is a word play on Mazdaspeed. But, Justinspeed was already taken too, so I added the 79 for the year I was born. Since then I have used that name for everything I need a user name for. when I first joined ebay in 04, Justinspeed and Justinspeed79 were both taken so I used my initials and made it as close as I could, JMDspeed, but a few years later was able to change it to justinspeed79. Makes me wonder who the other Justinspeed and Justinspeed79 are/was.

Take the engine from a 1978 Mercedes Benz 300D sedan, insert into a 1989 Dodge Ram 50 pickup, aka the D50 (technicaly a captive import of the Mitsubishi Mighty Max by Chrysler, but I digress), and you get a Dodgecedes-Benz 300D50.

When I started hitting up the custom truck forums, I decided on my nickname Johnboy and 72 was for my old 72 Ford F100...sadly someone wanted my truck more than me and stole it. One day I'll finish my minitruck and start looking for another 67-72 F100 to build up.

Nothing imaginative here.... Chris K..... I've been using it for many years as I've never hidden behind screen names when giving opinions. Some may not like them BUT they know where they came from!

For years and years I used to be te biggest fan of the band R.E.M. I have a room full of some fairly rare R.E.M. stuff. Back when lead singer of the band Michael Stipe was still in college, he drew up this little magazine of sorts, which contained writings, and pictures of friends, and sold them for a quarter each to people in Athens, GA. Of all the stuff I've collected, I've never been able to find a MOMO magazine. When I signed up for this site I tried Momo, but it was already taken...so I used Momo5.

And one year later...got any of those cartoons? :D I deliberately waited a year to ask.(not really)
