My last name is Margle=marge and the 796 is my old radio number I had when I was a cop.

It is pronounced I Be Cutie One. It was my old license plate. Kinda a dorky story that goes along with it but I won't bore you with the details.

A few years ago when I started working for a hunting outfitter in South Africa people started calling me "that safari guy" when I went to trade shows and Duck Unlimited banquets and such. So I started using it for my email and usernames.

I just went with my last name, cause it's something you don't see every day.
It sounds like Shi - Lay- La. I've always enjoyed watching it get butchered. It even happened today.

Well I have to admit I had it wrong too.

Ogre was given to me during the fire academy. Never given a choice, but it could be worse.

Major = opposite of Minor
Capt = Short for Captain
Silly = More fun than Serious

Correct me if I'm wrong, Peter, Greg, and Tom.

Cool idea for a thread.

"Actually" "longknocker" Was The Name Given To Me By An Old Golf Caddie When I "Used" To Hit The Ball A Long Way. I Do Have Big Hands & Feet, Though.

"Catfish" because I like to catfish. "2" because when I came over from the other site (which shall remain nameless), I wasn't here early enough to be the original one. I really wanted to work myself up to silver-back at the other site, but I never made it before I left.

My Ex-Wife ( the 2nd one ) called me Cyclone because of what my office looked like when I got busy on any computer projects.

I've had a variety of nick-names when I was younger that I never cared for...

This is only Nickname that I've liked...

Unfortunately, Cyclone is frequently already taken on forums so I'll use Cyclone1963 ( my birth year ) in those cases.

kelmac07 · 06-03-2010, 10:26 PM

Kel (my wife Kellie)
Mac (me)

Shooter is my nickname from Cross-Country in high school... the numbers are my birthdate.

akumushi · 06-03-2010, 10:29 PM

Akumushi is a portmanteau of the Japanese words for "evil" and "insect" and its origins lie in long and convoluted inside joke from the days of my high school Japanese class. As it is complete jibberish in a foreign language, I can always count on the username being available.

It's gonna happen. I count on it, brother.

In days past, people would just go ahead and butcher it and I'd correct them. Then, for a time, people would politely ask. Now it seems the trend is that folks try to trick me into saying it.
It's cute, really.

I made it 21 seconds in and had to kill myself, Don.

TripleF · 06-04-2010, 06:21 AM

My original user name was FishForFREE because of my website FishForFREE.com

Others started calling me Triple F for short, so I put in a request for a name change and the rest is history.
