What's The Story Behind Your FR Handle?

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?

I know several Franks and ever since I saw your Knarf I call them Either Knarf or Fnark.
Thank you.

Came from a series of books I was reading at the time that for one thing explored the power of “envisioning”......it does work if you use it correctly.

From the 13th warrior, the big blonde war chief, that character was a lot like me, so I use this handle for everything usually.

I wanted something patriotic, something “American as Apple pie”, but apple and apple pie were taken. I dug around in my recipe box and came up with “Apple Pan Dowdy” and it stuck.

In a world without Clintons, communists and and other crazed totalitarians, I would have selected “headsonpints”, but, alas, we have the world as it exists.

“Heads On Pikes!”

Isn’t America rich in the beauty of nature? There must be a GOD to give us so much beauty to behold?

Trees: These are not found in just America. They encompass the globe. Hope you enjoy them along with the other delights pictured.

At the time I was contemplating a user name my 14 year old daughter would tell her friends that her dad ‘is cool’...Worked for me...Unfortunately as she grew into teen hood I became less cool...
