So what's your FBG username all about? (1 Viewer)

[nirad3]

This has probably been done before, but ya know, search function, blah blah blah.

Why's your username here what it is?

Mine's pretty simple.  I am/was "darin3" at another "popular fantasy football site message board" and when things took a dive off a cliff there, I joined up here and just reversed my name and popped the "3" back on the end.  I guess I wasn't feeling very creative at the time.

What say you?

 

[kutta]

Kutta was one of my favorite mathematicians whom I named my company after 21 years ago. It’s my username pretty much everywhere.

 

[bigbottom]

Song title from my favorite movie.

[Don Quixote]

My username on Old Yeller was two letters, and when I tried registering on the transition, it was not accepted as needed to be at least three characters. In trying to think of something else to use (and, quick, to make sure I secured that all important three digit member number), I had the novel next to me and decided to just go with that.

 

[DropKick]

It is a reference to old-time football.

 

[offdee]

Nickname my entire life. It’s a shortened version of my  long a$$ 11 letter last name. 

 

[Chemical X]

smoo was taken, so i settled on this.

 

[Jayded]

I’m a Texans fan, so it’s fitting. 

 

[Gatorman]

So perfect.  Close the thread. Chem X wins!!!!

Ol yeller: First time creating a "handle" so went with alma matter.  Had no idea (like a cell phone number) it would be with me for another 25 years.

 

[AAABatteries]

When I signed up I had 3 kids with names that start with ‘A’ - had a fourth kid later, also with ‘A’ first name and they got the shaft.

 

[cheeseypoof]

Cartman's favorite snack on South Park.  Probably spelled wrong though.  Think I added an extra e between the s and y.

 

[Dezbelief]

 

[jamny]

Back during the original arcade games, you would have to have a 3 letter screen name for the high score list. I used to use JAM because of my first name James. After a while they started making it a 5 letter requirement, so I added an NY for New York. I used it for a while in other places but now it's only here and an old yahoo email address for junk. I don't really like it anymore but whatever.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Don’t get me started…

 

[Ghost Rider]

I picked "Ghost Rider" simply because it was the name of a song from the newest Rush album, their first in six years, and it was a title that sounded like a nickname of sorts, so I just thought it worked.  Not even one of my favorites from the album although I do like it. 

 

[rockaction]

rockaction is due to Scottish post-rockers Mogwai. It's the name of their record label, which is named after the nickname of Scott Asheton, the late drummer for the Stooges. Iggy Pop had given him the name "Rock Action" because Scott embodied absolute propulsive force behind the drum kit. 

I'm quite happy with the name. It has served me well. 

 

[Phil Elliott]

Lived in N Dallas burb when Cowboys really were America's team . Dad was involved with many pro sports leagues over the years. Played football and baseball in college. Read the book "North Dallas Forty" in college and loved the movie. Based on what I saw behind the scenes with my dad, I thought pro sports would eventually become like  pro wrestling, somewhat scripted for entertainment/drama, somewhat like NBA's behind the curtain lottery pick.

Sports may not have, but the rest of cable did. Pro wrestling is the granddaddy of reality tv.

My tag was given to me by the band director in high school, by adding two letters to my surname. I wasn't a member of the band, but all my closest friends were and I went to all their shows. I'd talk with the band director often because I was an insufferable teacher's pet lol.

Thought it was fun nearly 20 years ago when I picked it

Pro sports is still moving towards it. I am confident they will achieve parity with wrestling.

Ready, set, go...

I drink, and I know things.

I tried to capture the spirit of the thing.

At least you're not something lame like **** Vermeil Fan... We'd hate for you to be confused with the actual **** Vermeil. 

 

[Yo Mama]

Your mom was my inspiration

 

[Skipdog77]

Not very exciting...Skipdog1-76 were already taken.

Actually, just a combo of a nickname and a shout out to my fave Bruin of all time, Mr. Raymond Bourque. 

 

[lardonastick]

In high school, me and a group of friends were sitting around BSing, and the topic of old tyme fat kids came up. We wondered how they got/stayed chubby, and what they got for treats. I blurted out lard on a stick.

4 kids. Sounds like your wife got the shaft!

Aaaaooooooo!!

One of my favorite names, but you'll always be beer5 to me.

 

[Jayrod]

My first name is Jared and from time to time people in my life nicknamed me Jayrod. It isn't a regular thing, but a couple of old college buddies still call me that.

My 31 is the same rationale, and I played a lot of hoops.

 

[farfromforgotten]

I seem to have forgotten.

 

[urbanhack]

At the time:  city-living golfer

 

[Galileo]

I like literature

Why didn't you go with Goaler31 then?

[dkp993]

I’m a car guy and was in a few car forums before here.  It’s the name I’ve used in some of those. My initials and the model number of my car. 

 

[BoltBacker]

I once sat on a cattle prod after taking a shower.

It also explains my disposition.

 

[Ridgeback]

Just showing my love for the most amazing dog breed ever (and I like all breeds for the most part).

Nickname my entire life. It’s a shortened version of my  long a$$ 11 letter last name. 

Offdeeznutz?

 

[offdee]

Offdeeznutz?

You even got 11 letters!  Bravo GB, impressive detective work.  Username checks out.

 

[Punxsutawney Phil]

I thought it would be funny to have a username to chime in once a year on groundhog day, then I decided to just become phil full time.  The "username checks out" still gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

 

[skol asylum]

Pretty obvious. Big fan of early 90's music largely based out of the Pacific NW. Was my username right before FBG at the Huddle which was really my first FF site. Also tried out at the time a few other names, back when board tech allowed you to switch it up at will. Some I remember were Pearl_X_Jam (really my first name there), STP, citizen ****, and Purple Floyd (Vikings fan).

 

[Clown Car]

I have a lot of kids. 

 

[rockaction]

My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.
