user names?

[RPCVYemen]

RPCVYemen = Returned Peace Corps Volunteer/Yemen - cause that's where I served. I figured that if there were other RPCVs on THR, they'd contact me when I saw the moniker.

I almost took MoagadishuMike, because that what my friends in Nairobi called me when I went there on R&R from Mog.

Mike

 

[ZO6Vettever]

Guess what I drive!

 

[gvnwst]

Mine is my name minus the vowels....really original, huh? Didn't cap 'um though.

Guess what I drive!

Um, a nissan?

 

[slohand]

I've been an Eric Clapton fan since I first heard his music in 1967.

When the need for internet user names came along, I dropped the "w" from his nickname (Slowhand) and slohand was the result.

 

[THe Dove]

The Dove

Cause I'm such a peaceful little fella!

HAHA

The Dove

 

[pith43]

I am a 5th generation farmer,

pith:
1 a: a usually continuous central strand of spongy tissue in the stems of most vascular plants that probably functions chiefly in storage b: any of various loose spongy plant tissues that resemble true pith c: the soft or spongy interior of a part of the body
2 a: the essential part : core b: substantial quality (as of meaning)

43 was my old highschool football number.

 

[jimmyraythomason]

Uh...my parents gave it to me at birth.

 

[Duke of Doubt]

As a criminal defense attorney, I create reasonable doubt as to my client's guilt in the eyes of the judge or jury.

Yes, I like John Wayne.

I like Ellington, too.

But the name is also that of a cute character from television advertisements for Burger King in the early 1980s. The Duke of Doubt, in short, did not care for Burger King. He expressed doubt that Burger King's food was either delicious or nutritious. ("I doubt that. I doubt that, too.") I do not care for Burger King, either. Metropolitan plc, the British parent company of Burger King, bought Smith & Wesson in the late 1980s and nearly destroyed the company by entering it into suicidal settlements with HUD and other governmental entities in the late 1990s. A boycott dropped their sales by half, the company was on the verge of failure, and a group of pro-gun investors bought it for a song, pulled out of the deals, and saved the firm.

I AM the Duke of Doubt.

 

[SuperNaut]

My nym was born when 70's heavy metal and 90's electronica collided.

[ls0n3]

[Duke of Doubt]

Supernaut, I thought it referred to Delta G Supernaught, symbolized in chemistry by a triangle, a capital "G" and a small elevated zero, and meaning a change in the rate of reaction.

 

[k9870]

k98-870, maybe a pump action mauser?

 

[SuperNaut]

Supernaut, I thought it referred to Delta G Supernaught

Yeah, I noticed that in the thread where we were sniping back-and-forth a bit.

 

[John828]

k9870,

Whenever I read your name, I think of a canine 870 model. Why not? They got a youth model, an express, magnum models, etc. I think a guard dog with an 870 would be a pretty impressive HD setup.

 

[Cannonball888]

because of the biggest gun I own.

 

[silverking]

Refers to my squadron way back in the early 60's in the U.S. Navy

The VF-92 Silverkings Fighter Squadron

 

[swgunner]

surface warfare gunnersmate. proud tincan sailor

 

[zombienerd]

Heh... Mine went through several generations...

When I first started online, I used the name Zombie... Saw a lot of others like that... (Gee, I wonder why) I started playing Quake Team fortress, and joined a clan called [NERD]... My handle became Zombie[NERD]... I eventually dropped the brackets.

I do love me some zombies

 

[tradja]

When I was hiking the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia, "trail names" were common. After a month of the trail and about 400 miles, I passed the first hikers coming north. They all introduced themselves with their colorful trail names, and I responded with my rather pedestrian "real" name.

One guy remarked, "You don't have a trail name? Well, I'll trade ya." He got my name, and I got Tradja. I carried that name the remaining 1600 miles to Georgia, and 8000 subsequent miles on other long-distance trails.

 

[Mrs. Armoredman]

My name is rather simple. My husband armoredman was driving armored trucks for a living so I just added Mrs. Armoredman to his screen name. Everyone caught on that I was his wife.

Is it true that you have to wear a 10 gallon hat when you play Texas hold'em?

[floods]

Pretty self explanatory?

I've had a lot of different screen names over the years, this one stuck after I gave up Counterstrike and lost my interest (or should I say means) in cars.

 

[LaEscopeta]

Spanish for shotgun. When I found and joinned the board I was trying to re-learn Spanish (for the third time) and had brought my first firearm (an 870.)

I looked up "la escopeta" and found it comes from the same root word as "la escoba", meaning broom. "La Escopeta" sort of means "she clears away." I liked the image (even if not an entirly real description of what a shot gun can do.)

RPCVYemen = Returned Peace Corps Volunteer/Yemen - cause that's where I served. I figured that if there were other RPCVs on THR, they'd contact me when I saw the moniker.

I'm an RPCV from Nepal, late 1990's. But I found when I use the initials RPCV people think it means "Recycled Polyvinyl Chloride” or “Reduced Pulmonary Circulatory Veins” or something…

 

[Just One Shot]

I took mine from the sniper motto:

One shot, one kill.

I modified it slightly since I believe in the concept even though I'm not a sniper.

 

[wyohome]

I have a home in Wyoming.
