Care To Share How You Got Your Handle?

How Did You Get Your Handle?
Here's a spot to let everyone know how or where you got your name. Take as much time and space as you'd like. Some names are very serious. Some handles are amusing. Some tags are hilarious and some labels are majestic! But, shucks pards, all of 'em tell a story! Care to share?
Steelchef:
"It would be interesting to know how Y'all got 'handled." Since "Cranky Buzzard" has shared the origin of his 'handle' I feel obliged to share mine.
Our family(s) watch 'Iron Chef America' faithfully. After a family Asian feast, my granddaughter, (who had been learning about the history of metallurgy in school) remarked that steel was superior to iron so I should be called a steel chef.
As in Charlie's case, the name stuck and I was kind of proud of it. We all know how Chuckwagon got his name, (he was run over at a rodeo.)
Chuckwagon:
I see that Mr. Smarty Pants (Steelchef) has already introduced himself. He likes to tell everyone we`re related because I`m so danged good lookin`. He`s also jealous because I "snag all the babes" with my terrific mustache. He once claimed to have aspirations of being a chef because he thought it would add a little spice to his life, but had to give it up, as he just couldn`t find the thyme! Yup, ol` Steelchef tried to stay in the food industry for awhile as he went to work in a Canadian orange juice factory, but I heard he got canned because he couldn`t concentrate! And that`s not all! He once told me that he just hates M&M candies because they are so hard to peel! So, just don`t believe him if he tries to tell you that we are related.
Steelchef:
I hate to drag you into the family fight but here is the real story. Chuckwagon is actually my father. The paternity suit is still tied up in court. That accounts for my good looks and success with the ladies. Fortunately for all of us, I did not inherit the innuendo factor. My proof is that he had to use Spell Checker to confirm the spelling of M&M's. The orange juice bit is equally outrageous as everyone knows that Canadian orange juice drips into containers without the necessity of processing.
Chuckwagon:
Shucks, that big showoff Steelchef is just jealous because... I`m the only one who hears the voices.... !
I just can`t believe that guy! I gave him a nice tie for his 119th birthday. He took it back to the store and told them that it "fit too tight". What a guy... He once tried to go water skiing but said he couldn`t find a lake in Canada with a "slope".
Cranky Buzzard:
I got my nickname several years back from a friend's wife that stated, "that cranky buzzard ran me out of his kitchen"! She said this loud enough that EVERYONE in the house heard it, and the name stuck!
