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 will go the most simplistic route and speculate that Eta practices Zen Buddhism! (Tongue and other loose appendages firmly in check!)
Had to submit this, otherwise you'd think that no one is paying any attention!
My wife is in your club. She drives a 2013 Silverado.
I haven’t had time to read all the replies yet, but this post was a great idea. Thank you!
Well, you can always change your mind and decide it really does stand for Sub Machine Gun Fan ;-)
I used to play right field as a kid. At first, the other guys stuck me out there because I was the new kid, but I got good at it, so it became my preferred spot.
Well, mine is pretty obvious. I love olives. Kalamata is my favorite. My mom used to give me a jar of kalamatas every Christmas. The whole jar, just to myself. I was in heaven.
When I went to college, I discovered a Greek delicatessen in town. The old Greek lady would descend the big staircase to their basement to carry up a whole case of them for me.
I distinctly remember her saying in her heavy Greek accent, “You going to have big party!” And my roommate remarking “No, she’s going to eat them ALL herself, and I have to watch her!”. Ha.
Kicking back in my fat Cadillac my best girl pours me a drink and puts on another track.
Darkness falls as the possibilities rise with the faint smell of skunk.
The winding roads and no direction at hand.
Getting lost in the dark mountains of what is new.
Cresting the mountains at sunrise on Skyline Drive after 36 hours of drinking and driving with Pink Floyd’s The Wall playing is surreal.
I love driving and getting lost between western MD, PA and West Virginia, especially in a fat Cadillac with a great sound system and a semi psychotic sex pot.
What could go wrong?
I’m an FSU fan from Houston.
No, it was that sad, wistful look in your eyes. I've seen it all too often ;-)
The Zen part is correct.
Clearly.
I don’t keep notes of FReepers I have disagreements with, as that goes with the territory. There are a few handles I remember just because it seems we have the same interests. Anytime a fellow FReeper has passed or have problems of any kind I feel for them as though they are family.
My fellow freeps sometimes amaze me with the depth of their philosophical thoughts. That is a really good metaphor, and you're quite humble to wear it as your moniker.
Me too! Does he post for you sometimes like mine does?

I don’t see how anything could possibly go wrong unless the Caddy or the sex pot (or both) run out of fuel!
Before I tell you, or the unlikelihood you will figure it out, let’s just say I created the name to secure a future pay day when some drug company wanted to use it as a label for their next drug.
Hey good buddy. It’s been a week or three since we touched base. Hope all’s well on your end.
I completely understand you wanting to change your handle to something more anonymous. I’ve tried to keep my real self separate from my online persona for the very same reason.
Funny, but I read all the way to the bottom of your post before realizing it was you. You really hooked me with your story. You spin a good yarn, bro.

My Caddie hit 200k miles and my sex pot?, Well, she ran out of fuel.
No Regrets.
Except, I wish, I still had that FAT Cadillac.
Great back-story.
I was busy humping my butt to get my fledgling business off the ground during FR’s infancy, so I didn’t discover it til years later. It’s always nice to read the memoirs of Freepers who were around back in those days.
Thanks.
I'm sitting here laughing. because that very thought has crossed my mind when seeing your handle ;-)
She does not deign to post, but will oft and again use my big toe to scratch her cheeks on while I'm typing.
And then bite me without warning.
