In a former life, I was a CPA.

I've since left public practice and spend all of my time in an Ivory Tower. I'm a Ph.D now, but adopted the screen name TedRodgersCPA from the old AOL days... I do use Ted Rodgers PhD on full tilt poker, but tedrodgerscpa everywhere else.

And, the further I go into the south, the more syllables my first name picks up... Tey-yud, tey-ya-yud, tey-ye-ya-yu-yud, etc...

I was Mister Maduroo* (muh-DUR-eww) in honor of Mister McGoo and my maduro preference for the longest time. The old avatar captured my nature well.

Having gone pipe (in favor of cigars) I reinvented myself with the abbreviated Mister "Moo". The name dissolves the implied maduro limitation inherent in the prior name and suggests, correctly, I graduated from Michigan State.

I made this user name when I had my Honda S2000 and signed up to the S2Ki.com forums. I had a Honda VFR motorcycle prior to the S2000. The S is the closest a car can come to being like a bike IMO and it had Vtec like the bike, so it became my 4WheelVFR.

It's funny that everytime i meet up with folks from the board for the first time its KlAAGs.

I had this mental pronunciation of seangar as Seengar and its Shawngar.... lots of other examples.

Nice thread.

Wolf - as in what Sarah Palin advocates shooting from planes

Gang - As in a tight knit family unit

I got the nickname my freshman year of Highschool because i have a thing for wolves.
