What's the story behind your User Name?

[Qball]

It's my Cowboy Action Shooting alias.
And beside that, as a straight razor and safety razor collector.....

You do the math

 

[wheelyfun66]

Traded it to dad for awhile.....

[Bicky Robby]

I picked mine after 8 shots of Jack while watching the movie "Talladega Nights".

 

[anoblefox]

When I was an Electrician Apprentice, my classmate's father in law had an accounting business named anoblefox accounting. I always thought it was a clever way of expressing one who was crafty/smart, yet noble or trustworthy. Some might think of a fox as "cunning", however I feel the noble connotation dispells that notion effectively. The name in my case has absolutely nothing to do with looking like a "fox".

[BlackAgnes]

I have some old friends from the military, both retired E-9s--they are married to one another. She's smart cookie, multiple degrees and so forth, and a lot of fun. He's a high school grad, but smart in his own way, and my MC riding buddy.

Anyway, he's famous for making up words, ala Norm Crosby, unintentionally, and she's always giving him the old "eye-roll" when he does. For example, he thought his thyroid was in his thigh (!), if he eats too fast he gets "innergestion", if a car rolls over it "calapults"-- that's kind of stuff.

So, one night the four of us are out on a double-date, and prime steaks are what we are eating. They were very tasty!

So he says to me, "Man! you can't beat these Black Agnes steaks!"

Well now! I handle this pretty good, but his better half is guffawing fit to bust her gut, eyes rolled back into her head, and my wife, she's clueless, wondering what the hell was so damn funny.

Ever since that night, my ride has been Agnes, and my screen name:

BlackAgnes!

[mkk41]

First gun forum I joined was the old Sixgunner.com. So I simply used my initials and 41 for my favorite sixgun caliber , the mighty .41 magnum.

 

[Ranger98]

Have a 98 Ford Ranger ..

 

[Last of the Mohicans]

When I signed on, the user name I wanted (a throwback to my youth when I prowled farm fields for groundhogs) was already taken. So, I just went with what popped in to my head...the title of a favourite movie.

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

I've used this handle at most sites I visit ..... the first forum I ever signed up to was FILLED and every single name I came up with was already taken ......

Therefore, 'no good names left'

 

[USAFret]

Mine's real easy; I'm a U.S. Air Force retired officer.

LEO 1968 - 1997, now collecting Social Security & Medicare. It seemed to fit . . .

 

[686_was_my_first]

I speak the truth.

 

[deralte]

Der Alte is German for "The Old One". 78 and still going.

 

[galena]

When I had my FFL I called my business "Galena Delivery Systems" In all my time at gun shows only one guy understood what it meant. When I started on web sites I just stayed with part of it. Keep shootin'

You just made "The List," buddy!

My screen name is pretty self explanatory...
I'm not smart enough to keep a lot of different screen names.

 

[rhetlaw]

My first name spelled backwards - Walter.
My favorite character in Gone With The Wind was Rhet Butler.
I figured if Rhet used an "H", than I would too.

 

[jrm53]

Mine is my initials and the rarest pistol I own. Jeff
