Origin of your login name?

28 June 2003, 03:53

Some of you guys have great log in names.
Thought it might be fun to hear the stories behind some of them.
Mine is "rukidnme".
Everytime I am glassing and see a really big rack on a buck or bull I say that to myself.
Never really noticed it or thought about it until I was trying to thing of a name that hadn't been used for login.
Anybody else?

Cariboo

The Cariboo is where I live! It is NOT a mis-spelling of caribou. The 'handle' was given to me years ago by a cranky old feller who ran a web forum where he wanted everyones name to reflect where they were from.

BTW the Cariboo is a large region in the Central interior of British Columbia, and yes we do have Caribou here! LoL

My initials. I used to use my full name, but I was pestering some whack-0s on a canoeing forum, and a couple of them tracked my employment and tried to get me fired.

Actually, my employer thought it was great. They acutally helped, but I like to choose my friends.

I first logged on as The Old Hunter as when I signed on for the first time I had been hunting for over 50 years and it was a bad for the knee I was feeling old. Later after hunting Africa I converted it to Die = The, Ou = Old, Jagter = Hunter. [Cool]

WannabeBwana

Mine's just my last name. Though, like kk, I've had occasions where some who have disagreed with my take on things, have tried to get me fired. Even going so far as to harass the deputy minister (I work for a quasi-gov't org). So far, no luck. [Razz]

However, it does give one distress about how "free" free speech really is.

Shootshell

Years ago I went to a sportsman's show that had a mass merchandiser with a quantity of shotshells for sale. They listed them as 'shootshells'. When I pointed this out to the salespeople; I was met with blank stares. I never forgot about those 'shootshells'.

<Rimrock>

In what seems like a previous life, we used to operate a grasshopper and gopher farm near Cut Bank, MT. Our house sat on top of some rimrocks, which IMO were one of the few redeeming points of the neighborhood. They contained several buffalo jumps, beacoup teepee rings, etc., as well as providing good views of the Sweetgrass Hills to the east, the peaks of Glacier Park to the west, and a lot of Godforsaken nothing inbetween. I spent a lot of time as a kid exploring around the rims, and still do when I'm up there. Anyway, when internet hunting bulletin boards got started with the old Coffee Shop, I chose Rimrock as a handle and for better or worse am still using it, lo, all these years later.
Plus I'm a guitar player, and like it for those boards as well. In spite of my business being named after Cowboy Heaven (a sometimes favored elk hunting spot, and no reflection on any sort of cowpuncher afterlife), and having a collection of horses, I actually find a lot of cowboys kind of annoying ;-), and my musical tastes lean toward rawk and roll, so the Rimrock thing sort of ties into that, too....

Idared

Because I dislike "Tree Huggers" and "Bunny Huggers" I was sometimes called an "Idaho Redneck" when I lived in the "Gem" state. It just got shortened to Idared, and although displaced as of right now I still use it. [Wink]

onefunzr2

It's my vanity license plate.

It's my 2002 GMC Sonoma ZR2 Highrider, but the ONEFUNZR2 came from my 1995 ZR2, one of only 500 made that year between Chevy and GMC combined.
Neither one has ever let me down; north for hunting, or east to the Atlantic ocean for fishing. What else can I say but it gives me a lot of fun in an otherwise mundane life!
