Because "Booo Seminoles/Bulldogs/Volunteers/Hurricanes/and pretty much the whole BigTen" wouldn't fit.

Thanks folks for all the nice comments.

I appreciate your thoughts.

That was a long time ago. A different time.

I was a lot happier about the people I could keep out of jail than the ones I couldn't.

Back when I was a young and impressionable fellow, I saw the movie "Hackers". The main character's handle was "Zero Cool".

It was far too awkward to keep typing, so I shortened it up and appropriated it as ZerCool/zercool. Almost any place you see that on the forums, it's me.

And here all this time I thought you had something to do with some off brand anti-freeze.

Howdy,
My real name is Bob Ford, and I am supposedly the dirty little coward that shot Thomas Howard (Jesse James). After collecting the reward for the dastardly deed, Bob Ford ran to Creede, CO, where he was shotgunned 9 years later by one of the James Gang members. For Cowboy Action Shooting my alias is Creede Kid. My avitar is a picture of the genuine Bob Ford.

Truck 'Em Up! to a trucker is kind of like Git 'Er Done! to a redneck. When Yahoo made me chose a screen name, they made me add at least one number. My truck is a 1997 model, so truckemup97 was born. I use it everywhere a screen name is required, and it's my e-mail, too.

I can't stop thinking about the Iggy story either. You just never know the effect you may have on someone.

Mine is for Mark Josef Rsomething.

I think we all need to go back and look at all the badges lawandorder has packed over the years.

That's feller that deserves the thanks for his years of service.

Self-explanatory: I am a fan of all Smith & Wesson revolvers...

If I ever were to change that handle, it probably would be to something like Papa Bill, which is what my grandchildren call me.

Bill

Badger is the call sign my troops gave me when I was a major. A PITA Lt Col was harassing my guards who controlled the entry point to his complex. He would never return my calls or get me on his calendar so we could work it out and get him of my men's backs...so I told the guard not to open the gate when he came to work -- locked him out. I waited for his phone call. It came and he backed off my men.

One of my MSgts told me I was a badger. Whaddya mean? He said "damn sir, you're all smiles until some ********* kicks dirt in your hole." The name stuck.

Wickahoney is Piutte that supposedly means much or lots of water. It is a spring that has never stopped flowing that anybody knows of regardless of the drought and the high deert canyon associated with it about 20 miles east of the ranch. Flowing water is a pretty special thing in this country. I spent a LOT of time in and about both growing up.

It is also unique and unless you are from or closly associated with Owyhee County, Idaho it doesn't register with anybody. It is my "Name" everyplace on the web except the two places where my 1st Cousin stole it as a joke.

It was just something obscure I could remember and that nobody else was going to use.

My Shovelhead, that I wrench on.

My handle comes from a 1980s Forigner Rock-N-Roll song with the words
"He's Gonna Teach You A Lesson, Might Even Show You His Smith & Wesson.. HEADKNOCKER"
I don't usualy go around bashing in skulls

BoB The Palindrome--relatively self explanatory BoB or BoB.

Not so obvious is the thought behind the name. Origin is from a song done by Riders In The Sky (to the tune of Paladin)

Palindorme, Palindrome, what's in a name.
Palindrome, Palindrome, both ways the same........

Orion (the hunter) for the constellation; and my second favorite pastime.

I was an Army Medic and I took my job very seriously. So I practiced firing all of the individually served weapons such as the M-16, .45ACP semi-auto pistol, .38 Special revolver,and 12 gauge shotgun so that if we went to war I would be ready to protect and defend my patients. Grunts refer to corpsmen as "docs", and my call sign became "doctor doom". It was okay with me, but I didn't think it was a great morale booster for any of my potential patients. After much thought, it was modified to Double-0-Dave (a rip off on James Bond) as we both had a license to kill. My tagline now is "...no joke too corny, no pun too bad".

Obviously I am a fan of old Remington Shotguns. My 1st gun was a 31 and now I have more than I can count.

The first gun board that I spent any significant time on was populated by a lot of folks who where well known in the gun world. They posted with their real names (Mas Ayoob, Charles Petty, etc.) so I did too.

That hasn't caused any problems so far. . .
