CB handles. Who had one, what was it?

    The "From The Road" thread got me wondering who else had a CB handle back in their heyday.

    Mine was Superlemon.

    Sounds kinda ghey through a modern filter, NTTIAWWT, but it was the 70s, and I was 10 or thereabouts.

    The White Knight by Cledus Maggard. Best CB song ever.

    My username here. Back when I was on the road as a Team Suzuki MX mechanic I was given that nickname by another team mechanic after a rather drunken night at a hotel in Monterey (we were actually there for the original GSXR release at Laguna Seca). After a few too many shots of whiskey, Ray Tetherton said that I was "hoopin' and hollerin'" (and some tennis shoes might have even got tossed into the hotel pool). Hooper became my CB handle after that. :)

    As you might expect if I ever had to use one it'd be Mongo.

    Back in the early to mid 70s, I had one and my first handle was "Astral Traveller". I was into Yes, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer type music and Astral Traveller was a Yes song. I didn't keep the handle for very long though as I was chatting one night to a trucker, he though I said "Asshole Traveler". I changed it the next day to Powerhouse.....since I was an Electrician.

    Didn’t have one, but there was a dude somewhere near our house that went by “the Yankton slave master” and spewed all types of racist bullshit.

    I always wondered who the fuck he was talking to. There wasn’t a black person in a 50 mile radius.

    LOL! The PA cops I knew used to f@ck with the dopes running raw and hard through the keystone state.

    My dad (a cop) used "Coal Hammer" :crackup:

    I sold and repaired CB radios at Radio Shack in those days.

    I never settled on a handle, just made one up for each conversation.

    I don't remember my dads, but back in the 70's mine was "Little Harry" based on being his son. That nickname stuck with me for years.
