Mine is a no-brainer. My initials are JLR and travel is my passion.
jlr4travel is the result. :-)

I have an email address to match (which preceeded FT). So, this is my online handle for all things travel.

Wait a sec!
There's another Ted?!?

Good thing too, since I always wondered if you were calling me out.

I've been Ted Nugent since before Chevy Chase used my name in Fletch.


When I registered (and thence became corrupted) I was at a loss for cute aphorisms, etc, so just used my name. I added (no relation) to clarify my status wrt the Motor City Madman. (who also, apparently, is not that Ted.)

Because I'm too old & slow to come up with anything original. Actually, I would rather have my handle be what I am currently using as my password, but I know you can't change your handle once you join. That is, unless you want to start all over again at post #1.

My handle comes from the fact that my 22" roll-on-board is always packed. I am all set to travel

No imagination here...

mmj is my initials...and my undergrad university assigned a number based on how many people in the system had the same initials...hence mmj3.

It was a way of IDing yourself for EVERYTHING on campus and it's just stuck since.

Tango and Tango Plus are Air Canada's two lowest domestic fare classes.

(debated whether to post here or in this shorter thread Your Flyertalk "Handle")

His followers called him mahasamatman, and said he was a god. He preferred to drop the maha- and the -atman, however, and called himself sam.
He never claimed to be a god. But then, he never claimed not to be...

An old Gary Larson far side cartoon that just tickled my timbers.

Out in the middle of the woods a guy stumbles across a shop. The wooden shingle announces it as "The Happiness Store"

The quote "All of his life people had been telling him that it could not be bought!"

I was sitting at DFW while delayed (big surprise) and I decided I would actually join this site instead of just looking around. When i couldn't think of anything, I looked up and there was a sign for the skylink.
Voila... DFWSkylink was born
