What's behind the name? Screen name that is.

[Spott]

I have often wondered how some of the members came up with their screen name, some are obvious :C and others are totally :?. I know that since sooo many names are already taken we have to be creative to find one that is available.

I'll start with the story of Spott, OK, not really a story but as they say a picture is worth lots-O-words. I would have use a single "t" but that was already taken (and never used).

This is our dog Spot, he is now 11 years old, he likes to camp and he loves the water.



edited to add photos
he's 12 now (2007) but doesn't always act like it.

[6pac]

6pac come from our cb handle from 1973 . My wife , my 2 daughters, our 2 sons , and me . Our trip out west and up the eastern seaboard in a Venture pop up and a 9 person station wagon. Gosh I miss that part of our lives...that was some good times

[WVbassmistress]

I joined my husbands bass fishing club - Coal River Bassmasters. In their 30 year history I was the first woman. Hence BassMISTRESS.

[CassiePirelli]

I'm a published author and CassiePirelli is a character in my first book. 🙂

[finaddict]

Pretty much self-explanatory. Instead of chasing "Tail" , I prefer to chase "Fin". Fresh water or salt, I am addicted to Salmon and steelhead.

Give that man a prize. Around here, lacrosse is only played in an ice arena after hockey season, no ice,(box lacrosse), not a field.

Hey nice TC/truck combo. Hope you can get out camping a lot.

Dave

[DoneItAll]

Very hard water...ice hockey or very hard turf...lacrosse.

crosscheck wrote:
A cross check is an illegal hit with both hands on your stick across some part of an opposing players body. You get a 2 minuit penalty for a minor hit and 5 minuits or more for an intent to injure. I play this game all winter. It is played on very hard water. Can you guess what is is?

Dave

Some hybrid of Golf and Water Skiing? lol :E

[Oregon_Ms]

I'm an Oregonian, I'm a Ms, I drive a RV and a Wrangler. Not to be confused with Miss Oregon, not sure what she drives but my best guess is a Dodge Neon.

[SuperiorBound]

SuperiorBound
Love being on the shore of Lake Superior Mn North Shore.

[Sweet_Tater]

Sweet Tater = Name of the Lawn maint company " Sweet Tater's Lawn Service LLC" I own, and also the nick name I got stuck with because of it, so....

[ckwjl]

Mine is our progression of campers...

Cox--soft top folding tent trailer, late 60s
Krown--hard top folding tent trailer, early 70s
Wilderness--travel trailer, 1978
Jamboree--Class C, 1987
Lance--TC, 2012

[LastOfTheBohica]

Mine is a combination of the title of the book by James Fenimore Cooper and a acronym by Scott Adams of Dilbert fame.

Bohica - Bend Over, Here It Comes Again.

As an IT Consultant, I used that phrase quite a lot to explain some of the new policies and guidance that was being communicated by the PHBs.
