What does your screen name mean?

I often wonder what some of the screen names people have on this site mean. Some are pretty obvious, but I'm wondering about the not-so-obvious ones. If I had to guess, I'd say there is already a thread floating around here somewhere on the same topic, but I couldn't find it.

If this topic has already been talked about here, mods please delete this or whatever.

So, who wants to go first?
 
I always liked the Russkies, partly because, as a "race", they make the Irish look sane and serious, and partly as a response to the sub-moronic rah-rah-'Murica culture I had the sad misfortune of growing up in and around. I also thought Rocky and Bullwinkle were way funnier than Bugs Bunny, which opinion pretty much makes me Communist all on its own. The kicker, though, was playing a flight sim way back in the Dark Ages Of The Internet, flying a Yak-3, and kicking the poop (down on the deck, anyway) out of the mouthbreathers who of course always flew the P-51, cause, you know, Murica and stuff! I like the Bad Guy, the Antihero. Because, of course, the notion that any human being is "just Evil" is a retarded, perverse fantasy. Except in my case, obviously...

What about YOU, "staledog"? I believe it's customary to begin these threads with your own story. Don't make me sic Qutch on you.
 
I'm in the same boat as ShyFlyer as only part of my screen name is correct. I don't live in Hawaii anymore. I guess I'm just Flyer now.

What's yours all about staledog?
 
There was a website called Jippii back in the day. Not sure if it's still around anymore. They had a mini golf game on there. I played some random user named smack3000 on mini golf. Well he beat me but I wanted to be that annoying kid on the Internet and tell everyone I won. So I signed back as ibeatsmack300. Started my first flame war like a champ. Eventually just kept the smack300. I've used it for about everything for the last ten years. So thank you dude who beat me in mini golf, I got a username.
 
Mine's simply the initials of my real name, because I'm terribly uncreative and practical when it comes to usernames.

I wanted something that would be fast to type every time I log in.
 
Ha! I was going to start with mine but thought I'd wait and see if anybody else responded to this first.

When I was in college (SIU Carbondale!), I had a pretty sweet Ford Mustang. A 1993 5.0 LX 5-speed. Calipso green with dark windows and a few aftermarket parts. So, of course my Mustang was the "Stang"...which somehow evolved into "Stang dog"...like, "Hey, who's driving tonight? Let's take the Stang Dog!" (the words of my roomates, not mine). And then one day instead of saying "Stang Dog", one of my drunk friends started saying "Stale Dog"....and the staledog thing just sort of stuck.

So there you have it.
 
The nickname for the Commonwealth of Virginia is the Old Dominion. I'm a Virginian, born and raised. I've also done the majority of my flying out of Virginia. I have not, however, attended Old Dominion University.
