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?

A few freepers have thought it was az-i-shot and asked me what is was that I shot.

Funny. I got what your handle meant the first time I saw it. I have seen a handle or two around here that really are confusing.

I've got several of those, myself. They've been known to throw the 'weird" label at me a time or two ;-)

rodguy911 goes back to 99 when I discoverd you could post ideas on the internet.
I build fishing rods so the rod part was easy,guy part obvisous but rodguy was already taken.So I added 911 “two years before it happened.” Still don’t know why.
Other than I do precog from time to time.....
So it stuck.
Catch you later K.

behind every Minuteman was a MinuteGal ready to support, even fight side-by-side, to gain victory for the fledgling colonies.

Ah....thanks for that explanation. I've been seeing your handle for years, and never made the connection.

Tiana Highrider was the main character. A female Pirate with a checkered past trying to get ahead in life with what is thrown in into it.

Awesome choice! Everyone loves a pirate. The original rebels.

That’s a fascinating explanation of your handle’s origin. Thanks for sharing it.

the SF Gray Line bus tours would drive by my house to show the tourists where the conservative lives.

I'm from SoCal, but have lived in Texas since 2005. When I visited my dad in San Jose in 2010, the place felt so alien to me, I had a miserable time. I was truly a visitor from another world.

When the wheels finally went up on my flight back to Dallas, I experienced a huge wave of relief. I damn near teared up, getting off the plane.

I got into amateur archaeology years ago and had a couple of friends who had the same interest and we had all 3 done a bit of studying on it, and one took archaeology as his minor in college. As we got to know each other and talked about some of the latest discoveries, they assumed the nicknames Arrowhead Fred and Clovis Clyde. Clovis is a town in New Mexico that a 12,000 year old spear point is named for, the place it was originally identified as a specific type.

So I eventually became Paleo Pete, the word paleo meaning really ancient, in archaeology and anthropology. Unfortunately it’s kinda appropriate these days too...

From the masterpiece by RUSH, where the hero in the end sees hope in tearing down the temple of the high priests.

“We’ve taken care of everything
The words you read
The songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure
To your eye

One for all and all for one
Work together
Common sons
Never need to wonder
How or why”
