I have a mole on my chin, when I was like 14 I went on a week long trip for scouts and my mole grew some gross, long, black hairs (I of course couldn't grow any other facial hair yet to blend in with it). Looked like Shaggy's scruff. My scout leader started calling me Shaggy and the name stuck.
Eric.
small town, South Jersey.
I was wondering why you used that Jeff. :popcorn:Quote:

I never actually lived there myself, but I've always enjoyed visiting although the town no longer has the same out in the country feel that it did years ago.
My biking friends gave me the nick name of Porn star, because of the components that were on my mountain bike. Risse racing trixxxey fork with triple X's, SDG Big Boy Kevlar seat, Atomic Lab Trail pimp pedals, Azonic Hammer stem with the Chubby handle bars. All of these products are legitimate brands and models which I still have on another bike. After dealing with a lot of questions and my wife becoming suspicious of the name, I asked my friends for a new name. They came up with REDFOX because I seemed to wear mostly red colored FOX jerseys and shorts. REDFOX seems to be a more socially acceptable nickname that I have had for about 8 years.
in my previous life i was a weatherman in the air force = wea
bruce = obvious
old ties are hardest to break

This is where I thought your name came from :haha:

No Justin had Sombeech long before that song. I think it had something to do with me and his "HALO" get together rivalries long ago, but I really am not sure. Beech helped me get my name from the coinsideing letters in my cell number.
Hey, I know that guy. He's from here - he graduated from Ada High. He comes back periodically to do benefit concerts; the last two years' were called "Raindance" and were to benefit wildfire victims. Here's a photo from last years' appearance...Quote:

That's pretty neat :2thumbs: Blake seems to be a funny guy and a pretty good country artist :2thumbs: Those country artists never forget their roots, it's pretty cool seeing them return home and doing things for folks :2thumbs:Quote:

pretty simple. i used to be a climbing guide on denali for 12 seasons. i'll bet most of you had already figured it out.
Obvious what my username is about. When I had to first set up a handle back in High School I picked a something that describes me, I ran track and cross country in high school & college. On some national boards I use to use Mountain Man (that's my name at ACA and others) to describe my geographic location. But I never liked that name and thought it clashed with the user ranks here. So when I found this site and decided to join I tried to pick a name that described me. Since I was forgoing my senior year in track (bad injury) & had graduated I was going to pick a name that showed I moved on in my life, trailrunner described I

Back in the day of some mountain biking at the Sand Flats Recreation area, several carloads of us were paying our fee at the booth. We all had those Motorola Talkabout radios and my friend decided that as I was talking to the lady taking our money, he would defile all that was and was not holy about a dog. I couldn't get to the radio in time to save face, so the incident stuck. I modified it a bit so as to not be so vulgar. "Scrog-my-dog" just doesn't carry a family friendly connotation. :ne_nau:
And I haven't seen anyone else with anything that resembles it. Ogio came closest with the introduction of the new "Shling" golf bag carry system, but I'm not worried. I was here first. :bootyshake:
I am a nerdy, nerdy girl who is in love with the new Battlestar Galactica series and so, when I started my blog I titled it Foxy Starbuck... I just shortened that name for the purpose of this forum.
Who plays with guns :haha:Quote:

Quente = Portuguese word that is pronounced almost identically to my name Kent. When I was in Portugal people would ask me what my first name was. I would tell them "Kent" and they would assume I was saying "quente" and think I was just joking (it means hot). Then they'd ask again, and I'd have to pull out ID to prove it.
The K25 was from Kent and my lucky number 25.
After having tons of people mispronounce it I decided to just make it easier.
Hence Kent K25
Wayyyy back in the days of dialup, around 1998. I used to play this video game called Starcraft. I was testing out different races and combo's and this one guy yelled at me "the only reason you win is because you have those crickets of death, you cheated". Obviously he didn't realize they were the weakest unit in the game. Poor players often times turn to insults. But I really liked the zerglings and named them my "crickets of death", my main strat though was to build hydralisks and ultralisks out the wazzoo since they are ranged and can take out air units. But zerglings are hands down the cutest guys in the game (see pic below).
Anyways "crickets of death" kinda appealed to me. I played as that for a bit then changed to "deathcricket". Then later on, any game I would play, it would follow me. I was "deathcricket noisebringer" in dark ages of camelot. Dirk Deathcricket in anarcy online, etc etc. Then my wife turned nerdly and she went by "angel cricket". So we made a deadly duo. I feel my name matches my style of play. I tend to pick the smallest unassuming character I can find. My armor never matches, i will go out of my way to look goofy. For instance in warhammer online, my orc found a deer antler helmet that he wore all the time. in everquest i played a female dwarf with a beard. In world of warcraft i played a gnome with green hair. So people tend to underestimate me, and it's always seems to work to my favor. I may look like a retard, but turn your back on me and your dead. :P
Also it's just sexy being 3 foot tall and standing next to my wife's 7 foot amazon.

I know this is teasing with being off-topic, but here is a gruesome piece of trivia about Blake Shelton. His older brother was killed in this car crash in 1990...
http://myweb.cableone.net/abbysm/pix/buscarcrash01.jpg
...along with the brother's girlfriend and her young child. It was one of the sadder pieces of spot news I covered that year. -R
Wow :eek2: Didn't see the stopped or slowing school bus. :eek2: That's sad.
LOL....... runescape gave me mine.... 3 to 4 years ago. and it just stuck also where ever i go nobody has my name.
abirken: combination of first and last names that I signed up with Yahoo about 10 years ago. It just stuck.
in*wonderland: my other, more fun name that you will see me go by on a few other websites.
Mine was very tough to come up, I had to think a long time on it. :haha:
Mine came to me in a cloud of smoke at a Jimmy Buffet show at Starwood Amphitheater outside Nashville a couple of decades ago. :toker: :kickit:
Lord Of All Humans
Because you will all bow to me, in the end. Okay, not really.
:haha:
There's a twisted guy out there named Jhonen Vasquez who created a funny little animated series called Invader Zim. It was a Nickelodeon produced show, but it really should've been on a different station to attract the true target audience. Most of the humor is not aimed at children.
I really liked that show and in one of the episodes, Zim (the alien invader bent on ruling Earth) declared himself Lord of all humans, and for some reason, it stuck out in my mind.
The first time I used it as a handle was when I started playing an online game. I don't really know why it stuck out, but it did and from then on, I was Lord Of All Humans!!! on Counter Strike: Source for awhile.
I had a brief stint with BF2 and such, but only really got into CS:S.
That being said, I'm pretty glad I got away from the gamer thing. Fun and all, but waaaay too much time inside, doing nothing.
Now my online addictions (mostly) have been replaced with fishing and that's helped to get me out into the wild again.
I use a few other handles on other sites and nobody really knows that( :twisted: ), but I rarely post on those sites, for now.
