What’s in a screen name

[roostercogburn98]

Simple question, cause I see so many and wonder what the story is. What does your screen name mean.

Mine is simple, it is my nickname throughout a lot of my life. My last name is Cogburn, and I grew up in Arkansas really close to Ft. Smith and Judge Parker’s court. The 98 is the year I joined Uncle Sugars chain gang

 

[TheBigCountry]

Rooster, is this you?

 

[AMGtuned]

AMG is my initials (not my preferred Chrysler), and I spent a good part of my life building/installing sound systems and go-fast parts.

I have different names for different forums and forum classes. In the "2A" class, I have a certain name I've set for most of those forums but, for some reason I can't recall, I chose a different one for the Hide. I have a different name for my SCUBA diving forum class. I have a different name for my "Doberman Pinscher" forum. This is, primarily, just to keep a little separation in re: my interests from all the different forums. Oddly enough, I guess I shouldn't have worried about the Doberman Pinscher forum because most of the members there are, actually, "Pro-2A" and talk about it a lot (as well as being conservatives, Pro-Trump, etc.). Still, I made that forum name more "doberman" related (a combination of the names of my two childhood dobies). Unfortunately, I can't have a dobie right now due to Homeowner's Insurance regulations.

As for the Hide, I picked this name (at least the "LP308" portion of it) as it was just getting into my RPR .308 Win at the time I joined. The "F" was probably "Florida," and the 51 an anagram of 15 (i.e. AR15). I honestly don't remember completely, but... As it turns out, one of my closest friends and shooting partners is also a member here and probably knows my other forum names for the other 2A forums.

Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Actually, I always associate "AMG" with the aftermarket modification company for Mercedes Benz cars.

Back in the late 90’s and early 00’s the Texas music thing was starting up and the stuff I liked had a mix of traditional Honkey Tonk blended with the folk/Texas sound and I love it ,so I was describing it to some friends and came up with Texastonk. That was 02’ or 03’.

Interesting. I thought it may have been a combination of two card games: "Texas Hold'em" and "Tonk." I used to play Tonk a lot as a kid (not for money though). My dad used to call it "Read'em & Weep!"

It's the character from a book. I used for my online gaming name! On other online gun forums, I am Sansooshooter.
I like to shoot, and I use to train a lot of martial arts.

 

[101st]

I was with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Mobile) back in 77-78. I had always admired them as a kid from books I read at the library. I had been chosen at random to be a a part of unit after serving with the 2nd Infantry Division in South Korea. In Korea I served with the 2/61st.ADA a Air Defense unit, located on the DMZ near a small town called Munsan. I was there during Operation Paul Bunyan in 76. Two Officers were killed by North Koreans two miles away from where I was stationed, during a tree trimming incident. It was the quite the shit show for a couple weeks. That's as close as I ever came to combat.

[Moe Ron]

I’m from the shallow end of the gene pool

 

[kindabitey]

Mine refers to the little ball of hate and violence in the profile pic. She's getting up there, so I don't know what I'll do when she's gone
Also a slight tip of the hat to Sean Of The Dead.
And the sig. line is Jurassic Park, obviously.

 

[MadDuner]

In my small circle of friends that frequented the Glamis sand dunes - I was constantly referred to as “the mad duner” - because I insisted on riding even in bad conditions. The name stuck.

 

[LuckyLuke80]

If I tell you, then I have to kill you.

 

[Emerson0311]

It’s my name. The numbers are so no one misunderstands about crayons and knuckles that drag.

 

[LuckyLuke80]

If I tell you, then I have to kill you.

Seriously though, my middle name is Luke and so my name comes from a very long string of names that was sort of a backwards nickname as a kid. 80 is the year I was born

[748rpilot]

I (used to) ride a Ducati 748R. R bikes are the limited production models that Ducati produces to meet homologation rules for racing series, the 748R being their Super Sport entry. It came from the dealer with turn signals, head lights and horn in a box, and dealer installed Termignoni carbon fiber exhaust. Onlins suspension front and rear, steering damper, shower-style fuel injectors, slipper clutch and the largest front rotors (at the time) to ever come on a production motorcycle.

Racing drivers are often termed "pilots" so, 748rpilot.

 

[hafejd30]

Part of my name to include my initials

Then the length of my penis in MOA

I also go by hafejd8.7 for the MILs crowd

 

[ColinW]

Simple. First name, last initial. Even you, numbnuts, couda figgered that one out

 

[LeftyJason]

I'm left handed left eye dominant and my first name is Jason. Elsewhere I go by other stuff and relates to I like to read books and tie in from Magic the Gathering wurms. I have also used GorillaTaz as a gaming name. I like gorillas and liked Taz from Looney tunes.

 

[HPIguy]

I used to be into RC, and RC racing. At the time, I ran only HPI (hobby products international) trucks and cars. That was over 25 years ago at this point. But the handle just stuck, because I'm lazy for forum names. LOL Another member here actually PM'd me asking if I was into RC because they got the reference.

Team Losi here, way back in the late 90s mostly gas buggy and stadium trucks. Now all I do is fly, mostly drones, but have been into planes and Helis as well

You did read the part that says I is from Arkansas right?

My man....I wasn't calling you out or anything. Besides, I was homeschooled

 

[Maser]

Mine is my real life nickname I've had since I was 5.

Some more detail might make that clearer than mud

You'd like that wouldn't you?

My cock is big..and fat.

 

[Makinchips208]

I make chips in the 208 area code.

 

[Ronws]

Never occurred to me to have pseudonyms. Ron is my first name, W is my middle name initial, S is my last name initial.

Perhaps, I could have been cheeky and chose SrP for Senor Pendejo.

I only know enough Spanish to make people mad, having learned a smattering on the job in construction for some decades (I started doing electrical work in 1983.)

 

[lonegunman762x51]

My cock is big..and fat.

I always thought that was your favorite food.

 

[Ronws]

My cock is big..and fat.

Need I remind you of the time we were in a thread and talking about verifying a seller or buyer to avoid scams and you piped up and said that is why you send nudes?

And I replied, saying, that is how we learned that your screen name is ironic. Whereas if I had chosen the screen name Senor Pendejo, there is no chance of irony, of course.

And so I continue to exhibit the reason that I am a complete asshole.

 

[TurdFerguson]

It’s a funny name….

 

[LuckyLuke80]

Mine is my real life nickname I've had since I was 5.

So you’ve had that name for 3 years now?

 

[Halfnutz]

The results of testicular cancer and making light of it.
In a bar conversation the other night the question of a prosthetic was brought up. Ping pong balls are for wealthy or well insured with low self esteem. Bar tender wants to open a "Build a Ball" like "Build a Bear" for customs. I thought a squeaky toy would be hilarious but would probably squeak when I walked.

 

[The D]

Mine is a nickname I gave my favorite car I’ve owned, a 1991 Mercedes 300D. And any other diesel engined cars I own in the future will get the same nickname
