How we pick our screen names

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

I like this thread...

When I'm in home doing service, I like to put a pad down to lay my tools on. It adds a touch of class and the customers like it. I used one of the original 'Red Carpet Service' mats passed down to me by my Mentor who retired from Maytag service a long time ago. I've since retired the factory mat as I don't want it totally worn out (it means alot to me as does the authentic Maytagman Hat like you saw in the old commercials). My name is Andrew. Soooo RedCarpetDrew.

Beadso'bleach

I bought the first season DVDs of Perry Mason, and some of the episodes were sponsored by Purex,they would show the various products during the end credits,I saw the Beads O'Bleach appear and the rest is history....wonder why they stopped making them? too many kids swallowing them?
 
plain and simple

Davy - what my old boss at GE used to call me
1063 - October 1963

boy, I struggled to come up with that handle (LOL)
 
Classiccaprice is for my 79 Caprice classic i.e. my Classic Caprice Classic... It's been in the family since new and was my first car when I turned 15. Quite a lot of memories in that car.

You can see it in the background behind Dave (Volvoguy87) as he uses my wringer. It was taken when he came down last fall with all those appliances. Since he's internet-less in Ohio right now, I'm sure he won't share his screen name story. He drives an 1987 Volvo.

Does different things when placed in different positions.

Toggleswitch.

That which was one of the distinctive and distinguised features of my first washer- a GE FF.
Filter Flo; nothing to do with fists.

Works in all clubs electrical/mechanical, even vacuum cleaners!
 
LOL Toggles!

A while back we had a couple visiting from out of town (husband and wife). At the wine store, we picked up a copy of the Fairfield County Weekly. As we were driving to visit friends, the wife was reading the personals out loud and came upon an ad in the M4M section with the abbreviation/acronym "FF". When she asked what "FF" was, my partner immediately said 'French Fries.' The husband knew what it REALLY was and looked at me with the biggest grin! Still chuckle about that one.

Thanks Toggles!
 
i guess its self explanatory

i always look up vintage things online cars,appliances,music,clothes etc so i figured

i always do "vintage search" hence the birth
of my screename!

VINTAGESEARCH
 
The son of my neighbors where I used to live in the Laurentians baptized me the weekend I got my Kelvinator range and refrigerator set. I went to their house to beg the help of Jake, his dad, when he announced "Hey Dad, it's that crazy turquoise dude." I guess it fits!
 
panthera

Is the family of a group of large cats I greatly admire.

I would have liked to have used my real name, but shortly before I signed up for AW.org, there was a nasty explosion of queenly discord on the other collector's sight.

Since I have been active in Applianceville for many, many years, this didn't surprise me. The attempts at reprisal which accompanied that blow up did, however. Even tho' I was not involved, I decided to create a screen persona which would be true to one of my loves - cats - yet include countries and 'traceable' ipo's and 'real life' names which were sufficiently red hearing to protect me.

If I had it all to do again, I'd choose 'Pank Thumper'. She's thumping away right now, cleaning a load within an inch of their lives. Never saw a TL which came close to her thorough cleaning and made such happy noises doing it.
 
I guess mine takes little rocket science either. Kenmore-Guy (duh) and I was born in 64, thus the 'lacking imagination' screen name.

If I knew at the time I registered that I'd get into this site and make some friends here, I'd have been a little more inventive and used something like 'AbsolutelyKrazyKenmoreDude' or something.
 
Since I really can't decided which brand of automatic washers I like the best, because I like them all. I also have an email address ibm.typewriter.freak, I decided to make it automatic washer freak (I'm a little freaky too).
 
My screenname has nothing to do with washers, but it was a name I already used before I joined the first washer related Yahoo group. Aloysius is the teddybear in Brideshead Revisited, a wonderful British TV-series from the early 80's. I wanted to use the name Aloysius but that one was already occupied. So it became for aloysius. Here's a picture of Aloysius with Sebastian and Charles.

Saltysam

My grandpa always called me Sam for some reason.....and I'm kind of known to have a "mouth" on me at times.....hence the name Saltysam........Saltysam is also the name of our male gray tabby cat....
