What's The Story Behind Your FR Handle?
Free Republic ^ | 23 July 2017 | Windy

I've always wondered about the origins and meanings (if any) behind others Freeper handles. Its a quiet Sunday morning, so I thought it would be an interesting topic to start the day.

What's the story behind your handle?

The name Kalam is part of the title, “The Kalam Cosmological Argument for the Existence of God.” I am the author of the book “A Conversaunt Existence” that uses this argument along with revisions to the other standard arguments for God’s existence to show that reason itself agrees that there must be a God.
PS. The word ‘Conversaunt’ is an old/middle English spelling with an identical meaning of being conversant. I used the old world version as a tip-of-the-hat to the thinkers which came before us.

>Best year of my life,<

I can say the same.

In many ways, still stuck in those years and treasure the memories of them.

“I would also love to know the ages of FReepers. Based on the 20 years of FR’s existence - I suspect there is a high percentage over 70.”

I’ll be 85 in September,God willing.

I was a Landing Signals Officer (LSO). The LSO is referred to as “paddles” by aircrews and tower/flight deck personnel.

"...the Season when the Thunder Sleeps refers to Winter and Spring when there are no thunderstorms. It is during this time that the Navajo believe it is safe to speak of dangerous spirits."

My handle provides some measure of anonymity - making it safe to speak of libtards et. al. We know liberals and muslims can become dangerous when confronted with reality. I don't mind confronting them in real life too, but I'd like to see them coming - no ambushes, I pick my battles.

I wanted to give some meek tribute to Ronaldus Magnus.

Can’t imagine where multiple generations would be without him.

I like big trucks and I cannot lie. Sport Utility Vehicles, actually. I don’t give a XXX about my carbon footprint. I have had a Dodge RamCharger, Ford Explorer, Chevy Trailblazer, and a Honda Pilot. Love the Pilot, she is surprisingly fast. Her speedometer goes up to 140 MPH and one day I am going to see if that is just brag. Just recently celebrated the 100,000 mile rollover. My favorite thing to do is to squeeze my baby into one of those tiny, compact car only parking spots at the mall.
