Who Are You People???
Thread started by
speedybrian2000 at 11.12.07 - 12:07 pm
Forgive me, but I have a hard time knowing who is who on the midnight ridazz rides and on these posts.
Since no one has a picture in their profile (including me!) I cant place a face to a screen name or know their real names.
I have had some of you even hand me beers, and sadly I have to ask what your name is, and then what is your
screen name. Or, maybe its just because I have killed too many brain cells!
Yes, I do know a lot of you. Maybe if I went to every ride everyday of the week, I would eventually meet everyone.
But I do have a tight schedule, so this is not possible. I feel that our rides can be more social, and more fun if
everyone is not a stranger. Please don’t be offended if I come up to you and ask what your screen name is.
So what do you guys think we should do? What about screen name nametags on the rides (hello, my name is..)??
Is anyone going to post their pics?
reply
I wish more people updated their profiles...especially the girls.

when people arrive they should roll up and shout (not scream, but shout) out their name and everyone there will say 'Hi (screen name here)'
thatd be fun.
haha

Try telling someone you just meet for the first time.
Hi, My name is Sexy. See the reaction you get.
People can't take that one, they have such a hard time with it.
response "no, really whats your name"?
So I introduce myself as David and when they start reading
this board, they have no idea who Sexy is.
I've so much want to ask people on this board, who they are. last time I did, it left such a taste in my mouth, that I feel it better just to try to figure it out by asking people who I know, who such and such is.
Solution: I had the idea of a name tag ride. Paypal a nominal amount,
and have a MR name tag made, Oh that wouldn't be a headache and a half. So why not just start making name tag, or have a ride where everyone gets one, instead of a spoke card. There are lots of great photoshop artist that could make something with the Midnight Ridazz logo on it and place that say Hi, my name is............ and it could be printed on sticker paper and cut out. I would do this, but I don't know photo shop

who are you?? just kidding, cool idea for midnight ridazz name badges!! (i hate when people have better ideas than mine!) It must have the skull logo with your printed screen name on it!
What if everyone just makes their own name badge? It would be cool if we can plan out a ride for this too!

I haven't take the time to find some place where they can be made, but maybe I'll do that, see what the price is, see if people should go there on there own, or maybe take an order. Unless someone knows of a place already, speak up.

I have a real hard time remembering people names and this dual identity shit makes it much harder. There are people I've talked to 100 times and don't remember their names and it's too embarrassing to ask them again. On the other hand, everybody knows my real name because that's what I use on this forum but it makes it even more embarrassing to not remember theirs.
Just put your pictures on your profiles and your real name in the description. Actually if you used your real name as your handle it would be even better.
What's the big fuckin deal ????
Yeah, you are all big outlaws and stuff and you got to wear the bandannas on your faces and hide your true identity. You are like Zorro or Superman or something.
During the day you are corporate lawyers riding Cadillac Escalantes and at night you put tight pants, ride fixies, blow red lights and save the environment.
BTW. Sexy, your name is not Sexy it's David. It's much sexier than Sexy. And I forget BigSexy's real name and that's really sad.
The only good nickname is Dingo. Everybody else should use whatever their moms and dads gave them. If you bastardize it a bit like "Richard_Colossus" and "SpeedyBrian" that's OK.
Maybe I should use this thread to out everyone's real name I know.
Nametags, my ass.

I don't see no shame in not remembering someones name.
You've been riding a bike, your endorphins are through the roof,
you have most likely been drinking, you are looking for your friend, or making sure your girlfriend is alright and with the group. You stop to help someone with a tube that is beyond repair, it is a 24" tire, and since they never been on a ride before, they don't have a spare tube. All they while, are simultaneously figuring out, where you are at, so you can give your friend who is lost(waiting for a call back), directions from some place that your not even sure of where it is. J.J. is 'making fun' of something about you, somebody you meant at the last ride is saying "hey, whats up", the cops are looking at the group, which leads you to, naturally be concerned about what they are thinking about, you need to take a piss, and you want me to remember your name.

For me, I lkie the mystery of not knowing who is who.
That said, the more rides I do, the more I put real names, faces and screen names together.
Saturday I spent the whole bleedin day with Fuzz Beast, Skidmarcus, PC and several other previously unknown to me folks who are on these boards frequently. I am so bad with names, forgive me if I got yours wrong just now.
You know what I mean, anyway.
What I'm trying to say is, go on as many rides as you can, and all will be revealed to you!

You ask:

The more important question is:
"Who are
your people?"
And of course the answer is:
"
Midnight Ridazz are my people."
But the more important answer is:
"
Funderstorm is my people."
So then the most important question is:
"Who is Funderstorm?"
and I think you
and your people know the answer to that one...

I believe that I overhead the core of the core elite telling a would-be n00b that the rule is that each rida is given his or her nickname, one does not choose their own. This was followed by:
"First, get a bike and show up for a ride, We'll see what happens from there."
In some cultures, children are not given names until they reach a certain age. When infant mortality is high, there's no point to individuating the very young. Maybe those of us who have not been around long enough to earn a real nickname are the source of the problem. Perhaps we should all just post under n00bXXXX until we earn some sort of individual distinction.

All of the preceeding replies are true. On any message board people are free to make up their own handles (rather than be given them) so we all tend to use something that expresses something about ourselves and is hopefully memorable.
How many guys here whose given name is Dave-Mike-Dan-Bob-Bill-Joe-Gary-John or something similar? A lot more people seem to remember me as "rollers" than as "Steve", and that's just fine.

this is confusing. what happened to the midnightridazz days when the rides would be filled with snobby women from the westside on expensive fixed gears and only a handful of insecure bike dorks primed to score for the evening.
nowadays the ratios seem to be 1 women per 25 men.
i'm not complaining, just observing.
perhaps a M or F handle?

I am known by many cultures, as many things.
I bring pestilence, plague, and times of civil unrest.
I am an ancient being that has been sent as the herald to the downfall of many great civilizations.
Lately, I have been bored and tiresome of my duties. While I remain busy, I spend a lot of my time on this new fandangled contraption called "The Internet." To my understanding and vast amounts of all-knowing-ness, this series of tubes is the new tool of man's end.
Upon looking for new ways to spread my evil (yes, I invented SPAM e mails), I came across this site.
So you ask, "Who are you?"
I cannot answer this without great reflection into my inner being.
I am destruction and doom on two wheels.
