Cool User Names

Wanted to use my real name: Colin, but it had already been taken. Colin hasn't posted in about 7 years, but I still can't use it. Should have used my first and last names, but I went with Cyrano. The character in the play by Edmund Rostand had a large nose, like mine, and was rather sensitive about it. He was a good swordsman and poet; I'm a fair pistol shot and can write prose, not poetry. The historical Cyrano de Bergerac had a large nose, and was a philosopher. He actually wrote something like the incident in Rostand's play where there is talk about a mechanical grasshopper powered by black powder that hops to the moon. Still, if it wasn't so much trouble, I'd ask the management to change my signon to both my first and last names. Post count means little to me.

Cyrano you post made me laugh as I too have a large nose .I once drove 600 miles to a town in Canada that my dads family is from with two buddy's we went to a butcher shop for some steak's .The butcher took one look at me and said you must be a Belanger just from my nose .
One time I sent my wife to my bank to cash a check for me as I was in the middle of a project. I received a call from the bank asking me to describe my wife as she forgot her ID .I told the teller to look at her profile as it looks like the indian on the buffalo head nickel. The teller started to laugh but wouldn't tell my wife what I said . So when she got home she asked what I said so I told her . She called me a not so nice name a--h---.
I always told my wife NO KIDS AS I DID'NT WANT THEM TO HAVE A COMBO OF HER AND MY NOSES

I tried JustTrollin' on several forums but kept getting banned!:D

I was actually nicknamed the: Cooler King on another site (after Steve McQueens character of Captain Hilts in: The Great Escape) because said site owner didnt care much for Westerns-Duke, Randolph Scott, Hoot Gibson and others--so I kept mentioning them in appropriate threads--and posting pictures from my small collection too-just proving points he didnt like me proving.

One of many names I like a lot is: Wyatt Burp. Mine is the name of John Waynes character in: Stagecoach-and also a nickname I earned many moons ago--from kids in school because I love Westerns.

However--I absolutely hate--Easterns.

I always wonder about the story or meaning behind some of the user names you see on the various forums, while I can decipher others.

I was SO creative...I just used my initials. :rolleyes:

But then, most days I can remember what they are.

Had to be creative. Try on for size: C.J.M for Clarance Joe Mahoney. It doest go well somehow. Another trio of inits I didnt or wouldnt want are: D.M.O--I couldnt stand that kid.
 
ChattanoogaPhil, one of my favorites sort-a reminds me of the song Chatttanooga Dog. "I been chasing her like a Chattanooga Dog even tho it don't do me no good".

When I first saw his handle--I automatically thought of Chattanooga Choo Choo. Love that song.
 
My handle is deceptive.
Y'all know that I was in the ASA, but no typical ditty bopper was I.
At the height of the Viet Nam war we received word that the Red Chinese had smuggled a nuclear weapon into Hanoi so the NVA could win the war in one fell swoop. I was sent to Hanoi under very Most Top Secret orders to neutralize the bomb.
It was a tall order. Most of our South Vietnamese allies kept looking at me and saying "Dinky Dow"? I'm still trying to figure out what that means. Anyway I managed to get the bomb out of Hanoi. I caught a U2 flight that managed to get me and the bomb to Chernobyl. I managed to hide it in one of the future reactors. Heaven knows what happened to it after that. Oh Yeah, my code name was RonJ.

I also use or have used Lazy Ace, Bogus Bill, Booger Bill and the next time I join another site it`s going to be "Walter Mitty". Seems I once used Major Hoople too. Feral rhyme`s with my name merril. I flew, am lazy, a BS`er like Major Hoople, and a dreamer like Walter Mitty. Thats all folks.
 
I'm a fan of Warner Bros. cartoons, and one of my favorites is a Little Red Riding Hood cartoon from the late '60's..Red always screaming:" It's the wuluf, it's the wuluf.."

I'm also a DeadHead, and my Harley's license plate is DIRWOLF.
She's "600 pounds of sin".

My dog's name is Kimber. These are the sum total of my creativity....
 
Like RonJ, I too worked for the folks who Never Say Anything while in the Naval Security Group, long ago, in a galaxy far away. Unlike him, I WAS a typical ditty-bopper (still am in a civilian fashion) and my screen name references that.
 
I had several accounts banned on another gun site. Here's a few of the names.

I always wonder how many members know the origin of "dashriprock".

That show started three years before I was born, but in the reruns I seen during my formative years, it marked me somethin' powerful! Elly May was a certain treat for the eyes. Ol' Dash knew what he was onto.

Also, there was a fine band started in New Orleans back in the 1980s went by the same name, a power trio playing a swampy mashup cowpunkabilly style of music that raised the rafters of every college bar in which I seen 'em. They liked the TV show, too.
