What does your screen name mean?

[WalkerBoh]

The name comes from my favorite character from the world of Shannara (Terry Brooks books).

Mine is pretty complicated. The c stands for confidence, the d stands for dynamite, the u stands for unique, the m stands for magical...And ok that is where it runs out. Essentially it comes from ESPN where they gave a name recommendation and this is what they recommended and I was too lazy to change it.

Too funny.

Well I'm reading so I guess I can contribute.....
I first posted in North Carolina on ESPN. Southie was taken so I added "inNC"
I was born in South Boston. I have been all over the planet since I left NC, I was thinking I should request a name change to just Southie. I have outlasted ESPN after being banned and posting as southieinnc2, southieinnc3, etc.
I had the tendency to go to other boards and start shit. Some people never learn!

 

[mrwallace2ku]

name goes back to the early 90s when AGore invented the internet...

Mine is pretty self explanatory.

My 3 favorite sports teams mashed into one. It just so happens my favorite team names blend perfectly.

Sorry

Thought this was a general board topic

Didn't mean to invade your team board.

The name comes from my favorite character from the world of Shannara (Terry Brooks books).

I just watched the first season of Shananara on Netflix... It was interesting. How do the books rate?

The books are very well written. The story portrayed in the series was basically "Elfstones of Shannara". I will say this: the series emphasizes the "post apocalyptic" traits of the story more than the books do. The books also don't spend as much effort on the relationship aspect as the series does. I liked the books and the series for what they were. There are many fans that would say the books are far superior though.

It means, "Don't fuck with me"

 

[megalodon30]

I like sharks. I especially like the idea of a 60 ft great white shark. The 30 isn't really for anything, but I'll just say it's there for Terrell Davis.

 

[femurov]

It was 1976. A rural community, free of crime... Until the man in chartreuse showed up.

Long story short, he stole my Granada. As he drove off, I yelled at him "Like Granadas, Motherf***er?!?!?!

And LGM was born.

My first car was a 1979 Mercury Monarch, which was often confused for a Ford Grenada.

Pretty sure I have told this story about 7 and a half million times, but I'm not sure if I have told it here at the hoop, so I guess I will do it once more. Plus, guys like Mingo and Springer have probably forgotten it since the last time I told it.

So, I broke my femur in college and that became my fraternity nickname. Once I healed up, we played floor hockey and decided to add "ov" at the end of all of our nicknames on the jersey to emulate the russian line that Detroit had put together at the time (mid 90s). When I originally signed up for some message board back when I was getting into that sort of thing, I tried using "femur", and someone already used that. Instead of putting some random numbers behind it, I figured I would add the "ov" and try that out. Voila! My online persona was born.

And why do you pick on the two old guys saying out memory banks are full??

I remember back then they'd take the same car, add some chrome, change the name, and call it a Mercury.

 

[Orange Crush77]

My first car was a reliant K car, try putting that in a screen name and maintaining your man card

 

[Draft Crazy]

When I was a young buck I was on xmas break from high school. Just got the internet a few months earlier. Had time to waste before my PT job at a grocery store... Was seeing if there were any other draft nuts online in the world. Discovered what google was typed in "NFL DRAFT CHAT" or something like that. Mouthoff sports came up. I registered with about 5 others already registered (mingo being one) and it asked me for a handle. I just put in Draft Crazy because well I was in heat for some draft talk so I just randomly came up with Draft Crazy not thinking about it too much and then I just had to roll with it because everyone knew me by that.

Never knew I would get addicted to the place. I was just looking for an hour long draft chat for fun instead I ran into that forum.
