| Posted: | | | | My name backwards. The butler in many English mysteries. I think there’s a TV show with a character of the same name.
Now for the shaggy dog. The only other nick name I’ve ever had was in school, "Blond Monster." Our eighth grade class president who sat behind me in English class talked me into going down to the YMCA to workout evenings. He got interested in weights because he got his butt kicked over a girl. In those days if you got into a tiff you were taken down to the gym and you put on the gloves and had it out man to man, I think he weighed all of 115 pounds.
They had, I think” a "Joe Weider" workout chart on the wall. So by March there was number of us going down the YMCA to work out three times a week. One of my friends noticed a sign stating “Amateur Athletic Union, Missouri Wrestling Companionship” in two weeks. They thought I looked like wrestler, by then all 150 pounds of me. They goaded me into signing up. All I knew was what the pros did and some judo some of my friends older brother, ex GIs, taught us.. The pros worked out down there also. I didn’t know that most of that stuff was illegal in the amateurs. We got some books from the library, But two weeks, not much help. I drew a GI vet going to Kansas State, long and lanky, I was short and stocky, but I could press my weight ten times. He stuck out his arm, I grabbed it and gave him a flying mare and flipped him out of the ring. The ref said that was a no, no. Next he tried a leg drag. I picked him up and slammed over my knee. The ref said that was a no, no and he decided I was done before I killed the poor guy. The wrestling coach for the YMCA came over and ask me to come out next season, so I wrestled for the YMCA the next two years, thus the nick name Blond Monster. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

My first name is Ken, and there were already two too many Kens who posted here (both part of Innovative S/w) and things were confusing enough without adding a third. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole) Badges?

| Posted: | | | | Well I walked in Barnes & Noble, and went to the classical section, and looked for a recording of The Messiah. 'm dyslexic and I only noticed the spelling of this topic when my wife looked over my shoulder and asked why is there a thread about classical music on a DVD site. However if you mean my handle. I just got tired of making up names and just used my name. The origin of the spelling of Bobb came from when I was in 6th grade and we had 6 Roberts in one class. So there was a Robert, a Rob, a Bob, a Bobby, one who used his middle name, and I was called Bobby by my family so i just decided I would be know as Bobb-b. After 6th grade I just shortened it to Bobb. I am not weird, I am just affected that way. . By the way I just changed my handle to a my first name as my wife felt uncomfortable with me using my full name. Bobb | | | Do Cheshire Cats drink evaporated milk? |

| Posted: | | | | One of my old favorite handels back from the BBS era (the youngin's probably don't remember this time) was "Dr. Killpatient". I was playing an game on my PC in which you were a simulated surgeon. I was getting quite good at killing my patients (cutting a straight line via mouse is hard). I finally managed to complete a surgery so I decided to save my progress - it prompted me for a user name. At this time, a Bugs Bunny cartoon came on the TV.... Edit: I now have a new handel. | | | Last edited: by Dr. Killpatient |

| Posted: | | | | the Cyborg part of my nickname came from my highscool days... I played basketball and my coach and teammates called me Cyborg because of the single-minded determination I played the game. The Kinky part was attached after I was caught in the phys ed equipment room screwing the girls phys ed teacher... (I was 18, she was 29 and HOT!). Huge scandal... I was suspended for 2 weeks, she never taught at that school again. | | | "Man who goes through airport turnstile sideways is going to Bangkok."

| Posted: | | | | "Gio" came from my RPG-character years and years back.. that nick pretty much stuck. I used it while chatting in IRC and sometimes the nick was already taken, so I added in "wolf" as I really like wolves.. and especially werewolves. So it has become Giowolf in a lot of places after that. Oh how interesting. | | | "Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright." |

| Posted: | | | | I guess mine should be rather obvious. The first part is my first name. The second part is my last name. If you couldn't decipher that before now... Well, I better stop there. For Skip we just say Mark//Harrison so there's no confusion. Now my actual username here and everywhere else is MEJHarrison (I use the cool alias feature here ), which is only slightly more interesting. That's my username everywhere. Picked so I wouldn't constantly be trying to find a username not taken. That's actually worked out good for me since I've seen other people use "Mark Harrison" as usernames. The M is still for Mark, and the E & J are my middles names (Edward Joseph). The story is when I was born, my grandparents drove my mother crazy demanding that I be named after my grandfathers. One wanted Edward, the other wanted Joseph. When my mother was pushed beyond her breaking point, she picked Mark and simply gave me the rest for my middle names. Again, for Skip that would be Mark/Edward Joseph/Harrison. I doubt I'll ever end up in a profile, but if I do, here's your proof that my last name isn't Joseph-Harrison. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

| Posted: | | | | Took mine from a piece of dialogue delivered by Lester Bangs (Philip Seymour Hoffman) in my favorite movie Almost Famous.
"That's because we are uncool! And while women will always be a problem for guys like us, most of the great art in the world is about that very problem. Good-looking people have no spine! Their art never lasts! They get the girls, but we're smarter."

| Posted: | | | | Mine is my first name - Caroline. Pretty obvious. My user name is Enilorac (which is Caroline backwards for those of you who did not notice ). I generally use Enilorac as a handle as Caroline in any form is usually taken I like the feature here to use a display name so I can use my name In my time I have had many nicknames, the strangest being Bus - I was dubbed that for a short while by my sister who was trying to be funny. I am usually shortened to Carol and a girl at school (now we are going back in time somewhat!), whom I did not like at all, decided to call me Carrie. I told my family about it, and how I decided I did not like this as a nickname as I did not like the girl who had dubbed me that and one of my sisters suggested Car, which led to things like truck, lorry etc and Bus stuck for a while. Eventually that lost it's humour for the family and I went back to being Carol (Thank heavens for that!!!). I have also been called "Kerel" which in Afrikaans means fellow and it is also one I hated because it was a lazy way of saying my name and periodically my family use it to annoy me! | | | <---------Mithrandir, Laverne and Shirley Caroline |
