Don't know if this has gone around here, but regardless, I'll start:<br /><br />Straightup - My hobbies other than boating are Remote Controlled Aircraft and Bass Guitar. Most of my 10 RC planes have more power (thrust) than weight. The smaller ones can be released out of my hand and scream right for the sky. Heheee! That's how I got the name Straightup.<br /><br />Jeff

Mine's partly from a heavy metal chatroom and partly from a 2000ad comic vampire girlie character called Durham Red... she carried a chaingun called Nos4r2. Sounds a bit lame now I think about it, but hey-it's stuck...

I just thought up rubberfrog when I was considering my fascination with rubber chickens. Why not rubberchicken? Seemed too cliche. I've been rubberfrog for about 12 years now.

Re: How'd you get your screen name?

Mine is from my use of Spinner Baits.<br />I have all kinds and sizes of them.<br /><br />Started out years ago using an old Strike King 3/8 oz single blade one and have been using them ever since. I am a Spinner Bait and top water kinda guy.<br />You will find me just about anywhere as SBN or Spinner Bait Nut.<br /><br />Just do a yahoo search for SpinnerBait Nut and look out!!!! :D

Jinx was a cat in a kid's book I was reading to the boys at the time I started using screen names.<br />My sons and I admired his attitude.<br /><br />The "Freddy the Pig" series, by Walter R. Brooks for those of you that have youngsters. They are classics.<br /><br />Jinx
