Title: How did your handle come about?
Post by: Mudd on December 20, 2009, 07:28:00 AM: I got the idea to post this here from another web site.(my bad) but I'm gonna start the ball rolling here just for grins and I hope it's not something that's been beat to death already.

My dear ole daddy(long since passed) used to say "Boy iffen you do(whatever) your name is gonna be mudd" and "Boy iffen you don't do(whatever) your name is gonna be mudd" But the most fearful was "Iffen I have to I'll stomp a muddhole in your arse and then I'm gonna walk it dry!"

I got to the point that when folks would ask me my name my reply would be "About half the time it's Mudd!"
That's my Story and I'm sticking to it...lol
What's yours?
God bless, Mudd

Post by: ckanous on December 20, 2009, 07:47:00 AM: Well Mudd I always wondered about your name and you just explained it. Often I see these names and wonder where they came from, mine is pretty simple first initial with last name. The handle I usually use was taken when I registered so I just went simple!

Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on December 20, 2009, 08:12:00 AM: In the river of life what comes around goes around! Karma! All is one! "If you poison the river, you poison yourself". Sometimes what is old is new again. I think you get the point! I have come full circle with my archery usage according to Ron Leclair. Plus I like the Oxy moron of a circle river. It's virtually impossible although the Hudson River flows both ways! I wanted to name my boat in a similar fashion but it was a bit long and didn't sound as good as I planned.

I have seen a lot of good Karma here even before I joined so hence my name!

you could have given your father a new pair of waterproof boots for his b-day. That way walking that puddle dry wouldn't be so bad. :biglaugh:

Post by: Osagetree on December 20, 2009, 08:17:00 AM: My bow hunting buddies thought I was nuts for trying to use osage trees for homemade bows to hunt with. Each time we'd hunt together, I'd ask them to keep an eye out for osage tree's for me. Once I did build a bow and harvested a deer with it, they started calling me osagetree everytime we'd go hunting.
They still hunt with compounds (nothing wrong with that) but, I am gaining ground as one has a osage bow I built and he did use it during early season this year. No luck with it this year. But when he does finally get one with it he'll be hooked in I am sure!

Post by: adeeden on December 20, 2009, 08:20:00 AM: I have been asked this several times!

When I first moved to IL and started with a new internet provider my wife and I were trying to set up an e-mail account. My name is Dennis her name is Dee. We tried Dennisdee@, deedennis@, dendee@, deeden@ and every combination we could think off but everything was taken.

Finaly after several a frustating 15 minutes Dee said try your middle initial in front of it, adennisdee@ was taken, adeedennis@ was taken, but low and behold adeeden@ was available!

So I have just used the same thing for signing up on most of the boards I visit!

Post by: GingivitisKahn on December 20, 2009, 08:30:00 AM: There was a similar thread last year to which I gave this similar reply:

I'm not a dentist if that's what you're thinking.

When I was trying to decide on a screen name for this site, I was watching the news. They were showing a clip I had seen before of a particularly despicable and traitorous politician lying about our servicemen. He is a bit of a moron but I guess he thought it sounded bright to pronounce Genghis Khan (to whom he was comparing our troops) 'jen jis'.

I remember thinking the guy needed a smack in the mouth so I suppose that's how a pompously pronounced Genghis morphed into Gingivitis. Every time I see the name, it reminds me of the complete and utter contempt with which I view all politicians of his particular (yellow) stripe.

:D

Post by: misfire on December 20, 2009, 08:58:00 AM: My BP ventures started when a friend of mine suggested it would be cool to get involved in the "Woodwalks" in our area (kinda like 3D shoots but with BP). Not having a lot of cash laying around I bought the cheapest gun I could find, a Hawkens rifle by Traditions.

Well this gun had a bad tendency to misfire a lot. He got a chuckle outta this and started saying things like "Hey Misfire it's your turn, etc., etc.

Sometime later I got a nice Penn. Long Rifle that shot patch and ball. The misfires stopped but the name stuck even though I started kicking his arse during the shoots.

Post by: Froggy on December 20, 2009, 09:04:00 AM: Well, we were at a get together at a friend's one night. Sitting around the pool. He had just drained it to fix a leak. Some frogs had taken up residence in it. A buddy of mine gets in the pool and starts throwing them out over the fence. We didn't know at the time, but when he sat back down he put one on the table where we were sitting, hoping it would croak and get us good. Well, the frog never did, and Matt said he forgot about it till I took a drink from my cup and the frog had climbed up on the rim and was eyeball to eyeball with me. I threw drink all over them, scared the crap outta me, thought it was a midget alien for a second. Hence, the name Froggy when the wives came out and the laughs died down... End of story !! :jumper:

Djembe,Dumbek, Didgeredoo etc. Sometimes those two things are combined and I play drums in the swamp. I also love to hunt turkeys in the spring and grew up calling them swampdrummers. It just seemed to fit!

The serial Killer Richard Ramirez stole it but I think they fried him so it is mine solely again. There are bows out there from the 80's with The Night Stalker on them somewhere....

Post by: 30coupe on December 20, 2009, 12:19:00 PM: This is a thread we had a while back as someone else said. Still, I see some that weren't here then I suppose, so I'll explain mine again.

I started using this handle on some hotrod sites I like to visit. I have a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe that my dad bought when I was about four years old. Right now it is in pieces in my garage as I go through the lengthy process of converting it from antique to hotrod.

Rather than change, I just use the same old handle on every forum. Like my old coupe, I've had it too long to get rid of it.

Post by: Dave Bulla on December 20, 2009, 12:27:00 PM: Back when I first discovered trad archery was on the internet, the only site I knew of was the leather wall. My longbow was new to me at the time and "thumped" my hand a little when I shot so I started going by thumper.

Later, when all the arguing started to get bad, people hid behind handles all the time. I got to where I figured I wasn't going to be like some who tried to hide their identity so just switched to my real name. One thing I like about TG is that a real name is required.

The older boys found this very amusing and started calling me Cherox, and soon my friends copied, and now (20 yrs later) most people (including my mother) call me that. So when i made my tag here, i tried to be normal and use my first name, Svein, and my last names' initial, D - for Dyrnes.
I do love a good nickname though! :)

When I started here I went with JAG. From our "Ranch" brand. Stands for Johnny & Angela Gottler. If I were more 'puter literate, I'd put up a copy of the brand itself.

Post by: DngrsDan on December 20, 2009, 10:27:00 PM: O.K. But yus guys can't tell anyone. I DO have a reputation to protect ya know.

I was guarding a cabin in Colorado for the owners who didn't spend the winters in it, to keep it from getting broken in to. There were a few other owners scattered over several miles of canyons that I didn't have any contract with, but I would patrol just outta a sense of responsibility. These places were getting broken into during the winter, which was how I was there in the first place. Their property was right on the border of a national forest. It was just me and 40 sq. miles of wilderness area. I grew my beard and didn't cut my hair for a while. Spent a lot of time tramping over those mountains, cutting firewood, exploring, hunting. I LOOKED like a mountain man! :archer:

I used to go into town and get books from the library and got to know the girl who worked there, and became friends with her. Well one day I invited her up to my cabin for the weekend.

She told another girl she worked with she was coming up to visit, and the girl said "With him? In the mountains? All alone? But he looks so DANGEROUS!" I'll have ya know I treated the librarian very politely and did NOT try to take advantage of her.
(Although I can't say the same of her! Women...they're all alike! Only after m' body! I DO have a brain too ya know!) :biglaugh:

So she started calling me Dangerous Dan the Mountain Man and the name stuck all these years. :D

Post by: Dustin Waters on December 21, 2009, 11:23:00 AM: I just put my name up there because I find that too many times when people hide behind handles, they tend to get keyboard Cajones. In other words they tend to get more aggressive, stubborn, and otherwise just plain mean. After a couple of days here I noticed it wasnt the case, but on other forums and sites it tends to happen. So I figure if I am going to post something up I might as well be attached to it someway.

Post by: leatherneck on December 25, 2009, 04:39:00 PM: Leatherneck is a military slang term for a member of the United States Marine Corps. The dress blue uniform still bears that stock collar today, while the service uniform's standing collar was changed to a rolled-flat type prior to World War II. Now accepted by Webster as a synonym for Marine, the term "Leatherneck" was derived from a leather stock once worn around the neck by both American and British Marines—and soldiers also. Beginning in 1798, "one stock of black leather and clasp" was issued to each U. S. Marine annually.

Your history lesson for today. My avatar is me placing the American Flag in the sand in Kuwait the day we took it back from Iraq.
