Explain Your User Name

[walkin jack]

Didn't we do this a while ago? Oh well, I have never had a problem chewin' my cabbage twice.

In '74 I was into Motocross and wound up getting my left leg broken out sideways at the knee. Yep, bones stickin' out and blood everywhere. Docs said I was too young for a replacement so they bolted me back together as best they could. I was in a cast from the tips of my toes to my hind end for 5 1/2 months

20 years later I got a total new knee replacement with a bone graft to the tibial plateau. Didn't take care of it plus they botched the surgery so I had to get it redone in '98.

I've had to learn how to walk 3 more times than most of you. After my '98 surgery I was out walking on the track in the park behind my house and when I was done I was walking home. My BIL had come over while I was out and was standing in the driveway when I came walking up the sidewalk. 50 or 60 feet away he yells out "here comes Walkin' Jack. It kind of stuck with me.

Shooting Padre; Well, I guess that's sort of obvious, but then again I miss the obvious quite often. I'm a pastor that shoots. Not too much on imagination but it is to the point.

Well, since you asked...

My user name is obviously an acronym. The abbreviated phrase itself, just 4 words, comes from a long-standing inside-the-family joke.

The phrase in question was originally voiced by my dear wife (fiancée at the time) while we were trying to eat out at a local Italian restaurant after she had just come from a very long, hard, frustrating day at work. Too bad for us that we had run into an elderly nutcase waitress who wanted us to do things her way rather than our way.

I was baffled by the nutcase waitress's strange behavior but my dear wife thought it best to appease the waitress by doing things her way rather than ours. My dear tired wife felt that to do otherwise would embarrass us. It was the strangest, damnedest, funniest experience I'd ever had in any restaurant before or since.

Later, I related the bizarre experience to my kids and their spouses. We all had a giant laugh over it. Once my wife was fresh again and thinking straight, she saw the insane humor in it too. In time, it became a family "battle cry" of sorts... brought up at every meal we have ever eaten together since as a family in an Italian restaurant.

If anyone ever guesses the phrase, I will tell the rest of the crazy story. There is more to it, but I better stop here while I'm ahead.

Try the spaghetti honey?

Seems a couple of guys already took Ronald Reagan and Clint Eastwood so I had to come up with something unique...since my name is Joe and I live in Texas...bout as creative as I get.

OK, if the one word is Try, The or Honey, I think you can let us know which one.

Man-O-Man!!! You guys are coming up with much better ones than the original! Y'all are going to be disappointed if and when you ever guess it right!

But for now... nope, nope, nope, nope and nope!

The one word that was guessed right was "the"! Obviously it was one of the two T's. But which one...

I will give you one last hint: It was the phrase that the elderly nutcase waitress lady kept beating into us over and over again.
