My handle back in the mid 70s was Short Fuse.
My dad gave me that one because well, I had a Short Fuse and would often pick fights or start them back then.
I had a mean streak in me lets just say back in my drinking days

When we go out now, we just call each other by our first names.

Ditto.

When I was little I think I was Silver Bullet.

Sarah used to be Tweety Bird. She even has a tiny tattoo of Tweety on her butt. :pat:

I gained the name "French Fry" Last year at CO4RJ. Its a reference to my bright yellow front bumper.

I rarely use the CB in traffic unless the highway is all backed up. I know most of the people I ride trails with pretty well so we use first names.

We have 3 or 4 guy's named Mark who've wheeled together, so in those circumstances, it's good to have a handle- but most of the time it's all on a first name basis. When I need one, I use my screen name.

later

Just call me Bones! That's my flying call sign. Got it after I broke 4 bones in 6 months. Talk about a bad luck streak. Well actually a stupidity streak but that's another story......

WOW learned something new.

I am so new, I thot "l33t35t" was a tire size.



Many years ago when I was in CBing.

The handle was "ToyTruck" or "ToyTrk"

I got a CB at a yard sale to install in the
runner, so do not have a handle now.
