Usernames?

Mine is the story of my life in one compound word.

I also had a T-shirt made with the letters "ISLAGIATT". Stands for "It seemed like a good idea at the time".

What a long, strange trip it's been...
Robert Frost, the road less traveled is a better way to look at this.

Is that the shirt you get after the hospital visit from the "Hey, watch this!" shirt? :)

Yes, it's been done before, but as has been said there are always new members, and why not learn a little more about them, and them about us. Heck, I sometimes think of myself as a new member since I've only been here 5 years! Compared to some I'm still the FNG.

Bald Eagle was already taken, and 13 is my lucky number so... there you go. I'm BaldEagle1313 in almost every single user group or forum to which I belong. For the same reason.

Back in 2000 I bought my first cruiser style motorcycle a Kawasaki VN 800B Vulcan, one of my friends wife started calling me Vulcan Bob and it sorta stuck even after I had a couple of Harleys. Star Trek has nothing to do with it! This was the first of very few forums I belong to and contemplating a user name I thought what the heck this would do.
 
Mine's pretty obvious-just first initial and shortened last name. Several years ago I worked as a prison guard. The inmates couldn't pronounce the "Sch" in my name and shortened it to "Shack" (think Shaquil Oneal). It eventually morphed into Scheck. It stuck.
 
After reading Jinglebob's wonderful post here, I thought it'd be fun to talk about where we came up with our usernames.
This may have been on another, previous thread, but rather than bringing back a zombie, I figured I'd start a new one.

It is but, long story short. My name is the name of a character that John Wayne played in the movie that made him an A-list star. He was a minor-outlaw in: Stagecoach. I also on purpose put in: the ringo kid--knowing full well it aint grammatically correct. Besides-its shorter than these from Winchester 73: Dutch Henry Brown (Stephen McNally) and Waco Johnny Dean (Dan Duryea)

I was a "dancer" to make it through college, and this was my stage name. To this day, I still hate pants.

Now the truth...it was a nickname from high school that referred to my corpulent tendencies combined with the first four letters of my last name. I was also called "hoss" but that sounds too bonanza-ish. Just stuck with "bigride."

Just pretend this is witty.
