Your "Handle"
- Thread starter Krell1
- Start date
Mine is the first handgun I purchased. A model 19-3 6" I now have 3 of them. I figured it worked for the S&W forum.

Having spent many years as a pipefitter/welder traveling the country working construction we were called Roadtrash. At first it seemed an insult but after a while it sort of grew on us.

You guys have way cooler reasons for your forum handle than me.
Mine is Rivers. Named after Rivers Cuomo, the best damn musician in the world. But my buddies and I used to play Counter Strike a lot on the PC. And we changed our names to letter, number, letter, number to troll the kids in Counter Strike. It just sort of stuck. Lol.

Actually, my name is Michael, but that seems too formal for such a rag-tag gaggle of misfits that loiter about on this forum.
Well, my first name is Gil and I have owned a few mules over the years. Plus, at times, I've accused of being just a teeny-weeny bit stubborn. 
Class III., pretty much speaks for itself. The story behind it is I bought two Ruger AC556's from the Knoxville PD back in the '80's, a factory folder and a full stock. Think "A-Team" without the bumper chrome.
My "Handle" was a choice between either Class III or DD for "Destructive Device" or "DD" for David + Last name starts with "D."
Destructive Device was the nickname of my car in high school as I would destroy you in the 1/4 mile strip with my then owned '72 Chevy Monza on the local dead end road that ran out to the sewage pumping station. Just make sure not to over shoot the deceleration strip or you would be in a world of ****.
Clarence "Hooker" Hood (Of Hooker Headers} built the engine and trans in that Monza for me. He scrapped the worn out 305 and dropped in an LT1.
Class III or DD. Take your pick.

Smoke was my grandfather's nick name. He got it when he was a kid either because he was out smoking in the barn and caught it on fire or he got caught smoking in the barn and my great grandfather caught the back side of his britches on fire. His real name was Vearl Hagan but I never heard anyone call him that.
He was born in 1903 in Cyclone Kentucky and I'm fairly certain he never went past the 8th grade. I don't know the whole story of his life but I know he founded a construction company in Omaha and that he had a reputation for absolutely ethical business practices and as an absolutely honest business man.
In my entire life I have never heard anyone make any negative comment on his morals or his character and I never heard him make a disparaging remark about another human being. When he died in 1995 his funeral was packed out. My father abandoned my family when I was 10 and Smoke was the single greatest example of what a Godly man is supposed to look like in my life.
I'm having a hard time putting this into words but by taking his name I have a responsibility to live up to his character and never post one word that would discredit his name even if you guys have never heard of him .

Back in the 60's and early 70's I ran a trapline for a few years. We shoot muzzleloaders at rendezvous, my son got attacked by a cougar while hunting one year and that is his shooting name Cougar. My daughter in law loved watching birds of prey, her shooting name is Lady Hawk, granddaughter #1 is Lady bug for obvious reasons, #2 is bobcat for her feisty attitude, my wife is Sweet Sue her name is Susan and most of the time she is sweet. Hope she doesn't read this.
Just an abbreviation of one of my bad habits.

When I first got on gun boards I had just got into 1911s so Brian45 was my name and caliber. When I came here it was taken so I changed it to Brian41 since by then I'd discovered .41 mags.

The father of a friend earned the nickname Smokey when, as a kid,he had accidentally starting a forest fire [emoji46]

In my wasted youth I was a member of a...social organization called The Los Saxons. Amongst ourselves we said Saxons for short. One time a young woman hanging around with the group referred to us as a bunch of Saxon pigs. Years later, when the internet came around and I needed a username this popped into my head.
This is from Sept. of 1979. Everyone always looks so small standing next to me.

From Lando Calryssian of Star Wars...I always thought he was a bit of a likeable rogue. I was searching for a gamer tag for a MMORPG in the 2000 time frame, I added an L I think because Lando was already taken, then tacked on the 88 because I thought it sounded lucky.
Been using it on forums etc. ever since.

My old Unix login + "666" because it wasn't available by itself.
An added plus is that it drives some people out of their minds!
