FReeper names explained

My curiousity | Now | Yours truly

[Come get it]

Some FReepers have nicks that are obvious in their origin, others don't. I've seen several that probably have interesting stories behind them.

I thought it would be cool to see where FReepers get their handles from. If you don't like this topic, DON'T POST HERE! No one forces you to read this. I'm sure other people may be interested. If I'm the only one, let me know so I can crawl away in shame.

[Revolting cat!]

I live in Dallas and my first name is Mike. I like fireplaces, long walks on the beach at night, and warm puppies with wet noses.

If the first sentence is true then you must subscribe to the prime "alternative", "progressive" weekly the San Francisco Bay Guardian. Or else, you miss San Francisco. Or else, you live in San Francisco!

Apropos of pirate naming (mine is Red Morgan Flint), if you like a good swashbuckling read, check out The Pyrates by George MacDonald Frazer (author of the inimitable Flashman series).

I was hooked when I picked it up at the bookstore, opened it at random, and found my eyes on the following sentence:

"Aaargh," said the captain thoughtfully.

Your pirate name is:
Iron Jack Kidd
A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you are that person. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

You know how it is. You think you saved them and you find out they saved you. My wife took a job in another state and my son joined the Marines so it's just little old retired me and the kittens now.

[Tennessee_Bob]

Does this mean we're related?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Cause your husband dragged you out there. I told you.....leave him, move in with me. hehe

[Xenalyte]

Mine's easy. I'm a Xena impersonator, so I'm Xena Lite. I'm almost as big a fan as Rintense, so my name morphed to Xenalyte as in "acolyte."

Hillary's Fat Ankles

Ive heard them referred to as "Kankles".

[JRandomFreeper]

Well, there go my side bets for the Free Republic postal match.

Just trying to keep the playing field level. GRIN!

Name of the city in that TV series a few years back. Filmed in Washington State tho, right?

[katnip]

Captain Ethel Read
Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You've got taste and education. Arr

Thanks for the link to the cool web site :)

Is there a secret message here? ;-)

I live in Dallas and my first name is Mike. I like fireplaces, long walks on the beach at night, a wonderful FReeper woman to marry, and warm puppies with wet noses.

Boris is named after Rocky & Bullwinkle's nemisis.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Sheese, I dunno. Did your mother have a mustache and wooden leg?
