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.

[Shooter 2.5]

I was involved with skydiving and shooting at the time of the CB craze so I used Shooter or Chuter. It didn't matter which one since I was speaking it and not writing it down. After I was released from the hospital I stopped skydiving and continued shooting. I tried to use Shooter and then Shooter1 and then Shooter2 with no success when I joined a shooting message board. I noticed a computer game sitting on my desk that happened to be version 2.5. I've used Shooter 2.5 on something like 5 message boards. Someone on this board actually accused me of not shooting at all so I posted the picture on my profiles page. I think it says it all.

[DainBramage]

Dainbramage was taken so VoiceofBruck popped in your head?

Why not CungLancer or CerminalTancer ?

[Billy_bob_bob]

Mine came up "Iron Sam Flint". Not bad. I'll have to remember that one.

[farmfriend]

Ok, you are in my state. Check out our new web site and color logo. Look at the web site of some of the local Granges to see all the fun stuff we are doing.

[Xenalyte]

Nah, she has her own designated hitter.

[Tennessee_Bob]

There...fast enough for you??

[humblegunner]

Fat Freddy's Cat always cracked me up...

[ken21]

that's good 2 hear.

property rights are fundamental to the u.s. constitution.

property rights are really under attack at the moment.

know anything about the so-called "smart growth", that supposedly protects farms, but actually takes control away from farmers?

[connectthedots]

Because I know how to connect them. connectthedots specializes in logic. Debating connectthedots is like being shot in the back, others don't stand a chance.

[Textide]

"Tex" is for Texas, "Tide" is for Alabama (The second half of THE university's battle cry).

It basically amounts to a description of the migratory habits of an unladen bama boy.

[BigWest]

I live in the West, and I ain't "SMALL." ;)

[Xenalyte]

. . . based on my preferred mode of transportation.

So you drive a family Chuckster?

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Bunker didn't choose Archie Bunker, the title was bestowed on me. My wife and her friend love to oooh and ahhhh over the Grammys every year. Needless to say, the show nauseates me to no end. When the show is on, me and a friend will typically go in the garage, drink beer and scratch our eggs. A couple of years ago I decided to torment them and have my own running commentary during the show. I abused every liberal carbon based life form who made an appearance on the show. My friend's wife finally exploded on me and said. YOU'RE AN ARCHIE BUNKER - NO YOU'RE WORSE THAN ARCHIE BUNKER, YOU'RE AN ARCHIE BUNKER ON STEROIDS.

I assure you meatheads that the title is appropriate.

[Tennessee_Bob]

Someone on this board actually accused me of not shooting at all so I posted the picture on my profiles page.

I'm not doubting you're a shooter...but what caliber is that cat??

[blam]

blam, move to 'b' to the end and you will have my last name. ...and no, I'm not Brian.

[VaBthang4]

"Va"=Virginia

"B"=Big

"Thang"=Discretion is the better part of....

"4"=# of times I had VaBthang banned from espn.com

[Dec31,1999]

My 50th birthday. ;-} But seriously, the last day of the 19-somethings. Let's just say that I remember BoB Celest, Contrail threads, and still have canned food and 2-year old bottled water in the basement.

[Tennessee_Bob]

It's Xenalyte! Marry Me!!!

And if you won't, then please don't hurt me!!!

[Come get it]

being shot in the back
