5150?

It's interesting to find out why people use the screen names they do. Be it for email or other online stuff, there's usually a story behind the name. Of course, you need something no one else has. At least not at the sites you need to provide a name at. Then, it seems most people pick a screen name that defines them somewhat. Mine does. And it's perfect.

First off, 5150 is the title of a Van Halen album (CD). As I'm a huge Van Halen fan, a guitarist, and a rock and roll kinda guy, it was perfect. Jimi5150.

But there's more.

5150 is also the police call for . . . mental person. Yep, when a 5150 call is made over the radio it's time to put away the guns and get out the big net and call the guys in the white coats.

Perfect.
