I've wandered through the various threads on the forum and wonder if anybody ever asked where or how you all pick your screen name or "handle". Some are quite unique and probably have in interesting history. I'm afraid mine's not much, just a shortened last name with a number after it. Anybody care to share??????

If you ever met me, you would understand. I'm big, just over three spins of the dial, old, dragging 71 on a long rope, and Dave.
 
I live in the people's republic of NY on a large lake, hence NYlakesider

To keep it accurate my lake is actually a large man made flood control reservoir. Its legal name Great Sacandaga Lake!

Water level can fall or rise as much as 20 feet depending on rain fall, amount of snow during the year.

Krell1... you ever see the movie, Forbidden Planet... with Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, and Leslie Nielsen?

The Krell were a long-extinct race of super-beings in that movie.

As far as my name... it is basically how I've lived. Where I'm goin' in the here-after... nobody else wants to go to that fire lake. Wished I had my life to live over.
 
I have been The Pilgrim since way back in the CB days. For you younger guys, CB allowed you to talk
to folks that you normally wouldn't, hear them say things that you really didn't want to hear.
Very similiar to the internet except CB only about a 10 mile range.
The term of course comes from The Duke, 'Watch yourself Pilgrim.'
And the old spiritual-
'I am a pilgrim and a stranger.'
 
Years ago, I had my new boat parked alongside my house. It was mid March, and I spent several days during a rather brutal late winter storm working on it, getting it ready for an early spring trout fishing trip to lake Ontario. My elderly neighbor took great pleasure watching me work in that bad weather. When I was done, he strolled over and said "boy, you a fishin fool". I kind of liked that, so that's what I named my boat...

There was a high rollin', swindler in these parts nicknamed "Cosmic Rick". He unceremoniously met his end in a "deal" gone sour.

I am neither a high roller nor am I a swindler, but by swapping out a couple letters it fit my name pretty well. You guys get the abbreviated version of just "Kozmic"!

I gave you a "like" for the comment and your location.

Back atchya with the like, Krell1, I loved my time spent in Park City many years ago and the long road-trip form my hometown of San Diego, Ca. to get there and back the few times there! The gal I was seeing way back then had a grandpa that was waaaaay high up with the Southland Corp before he passed and her grandmother ran a few 7/11's up there and down in Salt Lake as well as San Diego. I had a blast up the hill at the big Hotel/Inn they have that they had to move up the hill long ago and that crystal clear lake up there, cannot remember the name but just out of Park City, could darn near scoop up the fish as they swam by!

I'm a lot closer to being extinct than I would like. Nobody lives forever and "super-being" would not be a way I'd describe myself.
 
Mine is pretty basic. 307 is the area code for Wyoming, and I live in county 9. Fellow Wyoming folk will understand the "niner" part...

Mine is a reference to one of my favorite revolvers a 686+ Mountain Gun with a fiber optic front sight and the capability for full moon clips. Great gun.
