The King Has Arrived!

Good looking site!

For those of you who don't know me, I am King Winky or The King, its a long story as to how I got that name, maybe I'll relate it sometime. I guess you could call me Matt, too, but The King has a better ring to it.

I currently drive a 2002 Ford Escort SE, but I am no stranger to the LH/LX line of cars, as my previous, and much loved vehicle was a 1994 Chrylser LHS. Hopefully a couple years from now I'll be able to pick up an off lease Magnum R/T or 300C, gotta have that Hemi!

Anyway, that is me, you'll see me around as I'll be your friendly neighbourhood moderator in a couple sections here, and I hope to contribute whatever I can.

Later!

**COLORADOMAGNUM** · 01-30-2006, 10:48 PM

King Winky??? Sounds like something your girlfriend would name your peni$. LMAO

KING and WINKY should not be used in the same sentence.....

I refuse to get in on this......but king and winky sound like opposite ends of the rainbow to me.

In 2001 my wife and I were the owners of a 1994 Chrysler LHS, and when looking for a website to get more information, maintenance procedures, etc, for the car I stumbled accross a fledgling site, www.dodgeintrepid.net and joined, after reading that the LHS was built on the same platform.

Fast forward to 2003. By now I am a respected (at least in my own mind) moderator and DodgeIntrepid.net is planning its first International Meet, a meet that will eventually become legendary. During the course of planning a member suggested that we should have name tags. (http://www.dodgeintrepid.net/forums...ead.php?t=19151) Not liking the idea, I jokingly said if someone were to bring tags, I would put one on, but with the name King Winky-Doodle-Pants.

I should have known. JoeKD (a prominent and fellow founding member) decided to print up some name tags with that name and bring them along. Being a man of my word, I wore one for the entire meet. Hilarity did ensue. Especially at the liquor store where I got an understanding nod when I informed the cashier I was in town for a car club meet, and at the classy restaraunt when I kept on being refered to as "His Highness".

Ever since, the name has stuck, because of the name tag and because of the incredible amount of alcohol I managed to consume without seriously injuring myself, and the antics to retrieve me from a bathroom stall afterwards.

Over time is has just been shortened to The King. TehKing came about because DodgeIntrepid.net has an IRC chat room, and when logging on I never noticed I spelled "The" incorrectly, and the name stuck.

LOL...What a great story!!!

**Jaak** · 01-31-2006, 09:38 PM

Wow, it's amazing what you can learn, digging in to the archives!

That is a fine tale and also I like the football commercial.

Good use of "Photochop" in those commercials. But the "King Kong" commercial, where the King if like 50 feet tall is kinda disturbing.

Ahhhhhhhh.....................and i was expecting a story along the lines of "there was this one time".........and ending with "so the moral of the story....."

but in all reality it was a mere alcoholic stumble to make the name stick.....
i actually enjoy those stories a hell of alot more than your usual "let me tell you about that one time....." story..........oh well CHEERS =)
