I’m loving the juxtaposition here.At least you're not something lame like **** Vermeil Fan... We'd hate for you to be confused with the actual **** Vermeil.

Or maybe I had a thing for Dorothy
Have you been to Gobbler’s Knob? I grew up in a small town just a few miles south of Punxy.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.
Were you the initial target of that rule? My alias was Peabo Bryson but I guess the mods didn't know who Peabo Bryson was b/c I never had to change it.Don’t get me started…
That's not a very thick bookI self identify as being a Lions fan since 1967 but in the early years I wasn't very aware because of my age. I remember thinking Greg Landry must be the best Lions QB of all-time because he's been the best in the years I'd been watching. For my 11th birthday I got this book and came to the realization there was once a time when the Detroit Lions won NFL Title games. I've been fascinated with Bobby Layne ever since.
He held a lot of the NFL career records Johnny Unitas would later break. He practically invented the two minute drill. Doak Walker said "Bobby never lost a game. Some days, time just ran out on him."

If they update it 50 years later and keep the same title (Detroit Lions: Great Teams, Great Years) it would still be ~ 200 pages.That's not a very thick book
The other screen name I've had has been Anaan Ng (anonymous, anon-ing, "I'm just anon-ing around," etc.)I was a big D&D nerd back in the day, and I also like the author H.P. Lovecraft.
In the Deities and Demigods D&D book, Hastur means "He who must not be named". I thought it fitting for a semi-anonymous forum.
I've been in a survivor pool for going on a decade. When I first signed up, it was around the time of disgraced NYC politician Anthony Weiner using the pseudonym "Carlos Danger", so I reversed it and named my entry "Charlie Peligro". Here it is 2022, no one's thought of Weiner in years, and the stupid site won't let me change it for some reason. I probably could figure something out, but at this point it's almost become retro kitsch.Thought it was fun nearly 20 years ago when I picked it
A lifetime of disappointment and sadness....
What's funny is that when I read posts by you (or @dgreen) at some subconscious level I picture Bobby Layne and Darrell Green sitting at a computer typing out the posts. What's more, since Green was one of my favorite athletes as a kid and is by all accounts a great guy, if dgreen turned out to be a jerk the cognitive dissonance would cause my brain to explode. (Fortunately, in my limited interactions with him he has lived up to his namesake).I self identify as being a Lions fan since 1967 but in the early years I wasn't very aware because of my age.

Of course, the converse is not necessarily true: I have no problem accepting the fact that @Nathan R. Jessep is a nice guy and not a power-mad, narcissistic psychopath
That was why I mentioned in my previous post that I look nothing like my avatar, because I suspect there might be a similar
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.
The last time I had three letters I took them to the mailbox.mine is three letters take that to the bank bromigos
I drink, and I know things.
It’s also about what Cartman did with Pip’s invitation to his birthday party.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.

Out of the pantheon of mathematicians, Kutta is not one that makes many top 10 lists, let alone top 291. No love for Runge?Kutta was one of my favorite mathematicians whom I named my company after 21 years ago. It’s my username pretty much everywhere.
So change your username to ORGatorPicked it back in the Old Yeller days as an Oregon fan living in the Bay Area. Same alias I've used at a couple other message boards and socials.
After 25 years in The Bay I moved back to Oregon last year and it's now not entirely accurate.

He played for the Bills and was a beloved fan-favorite player and member of the community, known for perpetually being a hard-working, scrappy underdog. I love the Bills, and who doesn't love an underdog story?
Agreed on all accounts. He’s definitely second tier. But his name has a good ring to it, and he did a lot of work with air flow over air foils, and I’m an aerospace engineer, so there’s that…Out of the pantheon of mathematicians, Kutta is not one that makes many top 10 lists, let alone top 291.

As a personal fan of the continuous and not the discrete, I feel that Kutta's work chops beautiful smoothness into utilitarian, less-beautiful chunks. Oh well, to each his own.
I like cheese.
Inspired by a certain poster who also rocked the !. Also, that little punctuation mark just seems to fit the overall energy and pure awesomeness of James Tiberius Kirk.
