My is no more than a question.
Really it comes from a friend that didn't want to be in the phone back, sometime back....they said
they would charge her to be unlisted. She said fine, list me as Willie Krash. I stole it.

When I got my first cell phone I checked to see what the phone number might spell. It turns out that the six of the letters were KGBNUT. My initials happen to be KGB, so I've used that for my username on lots of things ever since.

"a friend that didn't want to be in the phone (book)"
I knew someone like that...unlisted cost $, but ANY name could be used without charge.
He put in his name backwards...so, multiple blessings. He was unlisted, friends he clued in could easily remember that and find his listings, evil folk calling could be immediately identified and hung up on when they tried to pronounce the ridiculous backward name.

Started in the HAMB and transferred over here. Thought I wanted a Deuce and I liked the five windows better than the threes. Not a problem with Model A's.

Nemesis of Felix in the 'Felix the Cat' cartoons. Also a brake part on cars newer than Model A's.

Because I always enjoyed reading "Gasoline Alley" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_Alley

Well, that and Colonel Wilburforce Buckshot wouldn't fit.

(Pardon the superfluous "x" but someone before me had the same idea).

Mine has nothing to do with cars. Many years ago I had a bread vending business delivering bread door to door. My brother in-law christened me runnerbun, he reckons I was running buns all over the country. Sort off stuck and he has called me that ever since. Comes in handy as a username.
