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 decided to look at all the posts and your name was the first one I thought of to look for.

While serving in the USAF as a SAC Security Police patrol dog handler my flight chief called me a Puppy Pusher.I figured that was pretty descriptive of what my duties were so I used that as my Freeper I.D.

I grew tired of being labeled as a crazy right winger. So I decided to let people know where I stand right from the getgo. So I came up with certrtwngnut, certified right wing nut. Most on our side figure it out right away but lefties have a hard time with it. When lefties hear what it means I am automatically removed from all conversation. I don’t mind being excluded because 99% of their conversations are not worth being involved in. I even use it in my email name to drive them even more crazy.

Numerous 8’s in past and present ID numbers, addresses, phone numbers, birthday, etc., so I often add 8’s to Will since any common name is already taken as a login in a busy website.

I live in OKC, and I’m definately a Patriot.... tag line comes from the fact that my office was one block from the Murrah Federal Building, a coworker and I were some of the first to rush to the scene to help. Had thought it was a natural gas explosion....

I’ve been skiing since 1968. Before I was bit by the Harley Davidson bug, skiing was a passion. Good knees are vital to skiing well, and I’m also a skinny little runt. Therefor: SkiKnee.

I’ve been working the oilfields of West TX for close to 50 years and down just about every dirt road in it, when not doing that I’m on the ranch. My truck see’s about 90% of it’s time kicking up dust.

When I was somewhat younger I used to crew a racing sailboat. Afterguard is a crew position responsible for the decision-making of a sailboat racing team. The team usually consists of a helmsman, tactician, and navigator.

The aircraft I flew in and my flight position. Flying two airplanes in close vertical proximity is not safe, but I did it for a living. Every eat an F-4 some parts are edible.

Spent 25 years in the US Air Force active duty and now 15 years simple service and counting. Still trying to figure out what to do with my life when I grow up.

PoliticiansLIE

All you have to do is look at today's headlines to realize that politicians really do lie.

And this Story is more proof that policians lie to Americans. And they get away with it.

Politicans lied about the Biggest Mystery in History

As a western horse owner & rider, we would go over 4 inch diameter wood pole at the lope (western term for canter). They do these at western riding show patterns at horse shows. Hence we called them lopeovers.
