My girlfriend hated her friend's boyfriend...his name was Chad. She called him "The Dud", which of course became Chud. I started using C*H*U*D as my online gaming name, and would email my girlfriend screenshots whenever I had the highest score (which was often) and say, "See, C*H*U*D's not such a bad guy". I kept using the name for all the online games I play.

When I joined RCC, I couldn't think of anything else to use so I used C*H*U*D. To this day my girlfriend hates my RCC name.

Contrary to what most people think, my screen name isn't from Killswitch Engage... I was the pit man for a buddy in the on road nitro A-main at one of the first HPI Challenge races that came around here years ago. He rolled into the pit lane for fuel, I grabbed his car by the handle that was tucked uner the body through the windshield hole and my Mechanix glove hit his on/off switch and killed his receiver power. I fueled it and set it down and he had nothing. Now I'm forever known as killswitch.

Mine's a lot like robbob's... Back when I worked in a warehouse, I was the third Matt to work with the receiving lead at the time, so he started calling me "Matt version three", and eventually just "version three"

I figured it was better suited as an online handle than his other nickname for me... "devil" (he never did tell me why though)

Mine is very boring. It is my work apex ID. They are all 8 characters long starting with your last name and finishing with your first and middle name initials. What I like is it is unpronounceable.

Default Any Questions?

I was having a crappy day at work, (you tend to have lots of those in Iraq.....) and I ran across a can of this stuff. I just could not stop laughing. It must have been the heat. I had been lurking here for a while, so Team Tactical Bacon was born.

All my old riding buddies dubbed me "garage door bob" (occupation and name) Then I guess it was too long or somthin' so they shortened it to "gdb", it stuck for years and "85" is the year I got married!

Wasn't there also a dud of a B-movie called Cannibalistic Humanoid Undergorund Dwellers (C.H.U.D.)? Maybe she just hated the movie.



Mine came shortly after I got my e-Maxx. Figured e-rubble was gonna sound stupid, so I changed it to Trubble. There's the loose connection to t-Maxxes stomping around creating rubble, and the oh-so-familiar pronunciation of "uh-oh, here comes trouble."





Edit: Some pretty good stories, (a) rather creative lot has assembled here.

Mine is pretty simple........my first name is Eddie, though my last name does not start with an O as many think. The O comes from my baseball team. We used to listen to KPLZ on the way home from games on the bus. They had a dj named BobbyO........a few teammates started calling me EddieO............and it stuck.

Team Brood came from a game called Motor City Online. It was the club I was in, which had the most popular fansite in the game. During my struggles to come up with a name for my RC company, my wife was like "why not use the MCO one since you already own the website".........women is a genius.

Later EddieO

There is and many people thought that's where I got the name, but the true story is above. I spelled it wrong though which was a good thing since there are a lot of people that use c.h.u.d. like the movie, but I've never seen it spelled like mine.
