Family Handle back in CB Days
It’s a play on words with the family name
At 14 years of age my daughter would say to her friends, ‘My Dad is cool’...And I was...And I guess I still am...She’s now 31...
I have a small farm on the Republican River in Southwest Nebraska.
A fictional character in our office back in the 1970s.
My favorite salesman would leave it with inquiring secretaries, when they couldn’t spell his real name.
In the late 40s early 50s I was a fan of Gene Autry at the Saturday movies. His side kick was played by Pat Butrum who went on the be Mr. Haney on Green Acres. He called Gene Mister Artery.
Boom Operator KC-135A retired.
So I noodled on the problem for a while. I thought that a words can be sharper than swords. . . and since I had actually made swords when I had been in college working as a prop master for the drama department (I had to produce 40 swords that suitably clanged when struck together, looked good, but would not harm the bunch of yahoos who would try to have unpracticed duels with them, for a play they were producing), and it still included "word" in the word "Sword," I input "Swordsmith" going for a triple pun. Alas, once again, it was taken . . . also by someone who was not posting or even visiting! (I later learned when I substituted for the Sysop that it was the SAME GUY! He'd also grabbed any combination that included anything ending in "smith"). Further thinking lead me to the idea that a Smith is a maker of things, so I input "Swordmaker" and low-and-behold, it was available.
For the next 30 years or so, I have been known as Swordmaker online. The vanity license plate on my car even reads SWRDMKR.
A funny. . .
My ex-wife's mother's maiden name was Brown.
She married a man named Johnson.
Her daughter, my now ex-wife married a man (me) named Smith.
Noticing the progression of more and more common names, we told our elder daughter that unless she was planning to continue the progression by marrying someone named Wang or Wong, It was up to her to break this family pattern of the women in our family marrying a more and more common named man and she'd have to marry someone with a long name to do it.
She took our advice to heart. . .
Our older daughter is now Mrs. Long!
Initials and favorite sport.
As a kid I really enjoyed adventure movies and loved watching old Errol Flynn pictures. My favorite being his first big hit, “Captain Blood”.
Tried to think of a name, my son said “Mom, you campaigned for Barry Goldwater when I was little, so you should be “Goldwater Chick”. I only met one other person—a judge—who admitted voting for him!
Owned a brown 74’ Gran Torino.
Front seat was like sitting on the couch.
One day we were out shoveling snow and my son was listening to Over the Hills and Far Away. He was singing it and the first word happens to be Heylady. He has been calling me Heylady ever since.

Little because I’m insignificant, and jeremiah since a lot of people including his family did not like what he had to say, either.
Taken from my state’s great motto, but “LiveFree” was taken so I added the number 99, which for some reason I have always liked.
The name I have always answered to.
Well, I used to frequent a little debaucherous town named Dewey and some people called me Frank.
T-Patchers are those who served with the 36th Infantry Division in WW2. Their shoulder insignia is a 'T' inside an arrowhead that was the original National Guard patch indicating men from Texas & Oklahoma served in it. By 1940 when the unit was federalized, they were mainly an all-Texas group.
Therefore, I am a son of a T-Patcher and took this as my FR id. I was the original sonofatpatcher ( http://www.freerepublic.com/~sonofatpatcher/ ) joined Apr 23, 2000, but was away for a bit and came back to find I could not get my old password. (Computer crash & change of e-mails and servers, etc...) I resigned up as sonofatpatcher2.
Another crash had me returning as... 
Bender2-- And remain so... 
to this day.
