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.

I think that I know your brother Phillips Head and your sister Socket Wench.

[uglybiker]

There aarrr a lot of Kidd's from that site.

Well, pirates can be a rather close-knit bunch. sometimes out on th' seven seas they can get jus' a little too close.

Men, men,men
It's a ship all filled with men
So batten down the ladies room
There's no one here but men!

[rintense]

I think you're right. There's some pretty 'adult' stuff out there.

"We'll have to do a thread on blues music soon. "

Oh yeah, definitely. Ping me when it starts up.

This name is for any company or group that supports the democrats, Jesse Jackson, or any other liberal cause.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"I've always been baffled as to why people don't just type in their real names. "

You don't dress up for Halloween, do ya?

[BornOnTheFourth]

I share my birthday with our great nation...

[DuncanWaring]

There was an early-70's British sitcom called "Doctor in the House" about a bunch of med school students.

One of them, a fellow by the name of "Duncan Waring", was always either up to no good or getting into trouble.

That be me.

[Humidston]

Then I am your kid!!! (I'm Calico Morgan Kidd)

I wondered where I belonged...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"why is your pirate sticking a banana in his eye? "

I was hoping no one would notice.
He's scratching at the eyepatch. It's itchy, you know? Actually, it's a raised cutlass. I'll have to work on the graphic.

[DallasGal]

Red Morgan Rackham here...and I think Rackham is too close to Rodham

Loved Dr In the House and Dr on Board. Please tell me you used to watch The Goodies too.

[NorCoGOP]

Mine is a simple contraction of where and who I am:

Northern Colorado GOP (Republican).

[jeremiah]

This is weird, after being directed to the site, I went and came away with the name, Mad Jack Rackham too. You must be a helluva man.

[beckett]

Samuel Beckett --- a great playwright with whom I share a sour, rather gloomy disposition.

Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful!

Waiting for Godot, act I

Estragon: I can't go on like this.
Vladimir: That's what you think.

[Loyalist]

Loyalist: For my United Empire Loyalist ancestors on my father's side of the family, who came north from Georgia after the American War of Independence.

Many Loyalists lost their fortunes for remaining loyal to King George III and had to start all over again in strange new lands.

The provinces of Ontario and New Brunwsick were founded by Loyalists.

At least 3 million Canadians have at least one Loyalist ancestor.

Without the Loyalists, Canada as we know it would not exist today.

It also honours King George III, who granted the Royal Charter to my alma mater , University of King's College, in 1788.

[SmartBlonde]

My name was assigned by JimRob. It is half right: it should read 'SmartStrawberryBlonde'.

[BADROTOFINGER]

I was in ESPN's Fantasy Baseball Chat Room one night under the very original handle of John K. Somebody told me that my nickname sucked, so I had to come up with a new one. At the time I owned a comic book/sportscard store, and wanted a cool comic book sounding name, but Rotoman was taken (Greg Ambrosious, I think) and I was listening to Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger at the time, so BADROTOFINGER (in all caps, like a comic book cover) I was. It is a cool handle, and I dont have to worry about anyone taking it (tho some poser at sandbox.com took it, the a**hole)...JFK

[BADROTOFINGER]

Tho when I want to go incognito, I pick the name of Charlie Brown's favorite baseball player. Anyone know who that is?? Trivia time...JFK

[Tennessee_Bob]

I'm listening to 'Floodland' right now and drinking a dram of Oban Scotch....

You're going to hell for that, you know.....

heh heh heh heh
