How did you come up with your name?

It's what I am, everywhere I go. Fact is, it was between Biker and The Iron Brockwurst.:cool:
Biker
 
It's a play on the Fritz Leiber "Gray Mouser" sword and fantasy series-- "Ill Met in Lankhmar" etc that I was reading in the 50's and 60's when I first developed my interest in Mausers.
 
Back in High school, I was part of the SCA. During one of my sword bouts, someone made the comment that it looked like half of one of my hands was missing, due to my fighting style. That reminded me of a character in one of the book series, The Thomas Convenant series. My first name is Thomas and the main character's fantasy-land twin was named Berek Halfhand, White Gold Wielder. Someone started calling me that and it stuck.
 
It was for a video game on the internet. I discovered that "big" and "gun" could share a G and that would be my name with my age at the end. Only problem with that idea is that now I'm older than I was when I made the account and it's wrong.
 
I am a really big fan of the Lord of the Rings. Telcontar is the household name of
Aragorn.
 
I was shooting (scoped AR15 at 200 yards, standing) at the local range here and a fella watching asked me if I worked for the local po-po. He thought I should. Lucky shot at a stick of tannerite.

I am also a Latter-day Saint.

Great conversation starter! I consider myself an average marksman. My eyes are too old now for really good shooting. I was never a military/law enforcement marksman. I did enjoy whipping the MPs in Korea with their own .45s in a qualification match though!

Blessings to all,

I'd just seen "Gladiator" when I signed on for the first time, and "Praetorian" sounded a bit to pompous for me. But I liked my Latin sig line, so there you go.
 
My Now Ex-Girlfriend always called me an Evil Redneck Bastard.
Who is more evil than Lord Vader.
And so combine Star Wars and you might be a Redneck if and you get DarthBubba.

DarthBubba:D
 
My name is Greg. I don't even remember how i got this... I know I've had it since high school, but then it becomes fuzzy.
(Years later i did a quick google search of "Vitamin G" and aside from finding all my posts on various message boards, I found out that there really is a Vitamin G... it causes impotence!

God has a sense of irony, for sure.
 
I was a Tanker in the CAV over in Germany. the very first time I went online many years ago panzermkV and panthermkII were taken so I picked the third best tank of all time and have used ever since for everything
 
aw

i was fifteen (1995) and what i thought was a cool handle (Lord Raptor) had already been taken by the sysop of the bbs that i was about to be booted off of. I liked silver (ag), and I had fanciful notions of riding about on a (albeit cyborg) horse poking about a lance, so there.

after about 11 years of d*ldo jokes at my expense, however, I've thought about getting another moniker. problem is, i still like silver, and....
 
I had recently purchased a 700 LVSF in .17 Rem. and fallen in love with it just before I joined this forum. Since it was on my mind and handloads with 20 grain pills are traveling almost exactly 4 times the speed of sound.........
 
Kel-Tec P3-AT is just that and it is my primary. I believe in shot placement.:)
 
Back when I traveled imaginary lands in my youth, one of my companions had trouble pronouncing my name. All he could manage was “Gordon Fink.” The byname stuck and has since served as an occasional alias.

~G. Fink
