OK, Where did your handle come from? - Page 3

ghillie · #61 (**permalink**) 01-20-2002, 12:14 AM

Came from my fascination with ghillie suits and sniping.

Built my own suit a few years back, I had 40 hrs. in it, but it was fun and they work really good.

Needed a "handel" name for a shootem up computer game and It just sorta popped up(yes, indian doctor) don't know why. Then started using it for all these kinds of things.

Decided to pick on my friend Irish Lad for needing everything to be Irish (He is obsessed).

FTTPOW · #69 (**permalink**) 02-01-2002, 04:43 PM

FTTPOW IS THE SOUND OF A FLINTLOCK BEING TOUCHED OFF. ACTUALLY IF YOU CAN HEAR ALL THAT , YOU'RE LISTENING TO A HANG-FIRE. MINE FIRES SO FAST I ALMOST NEVER HEAR ANYTHING EXCEPT- POW.

dalliwacker · #70 (**permalink**) 02-03-2002, 04:20 AM

My handle always turns a head or raises an eyebrow. If you have a sick tormented mind, then you might say my handle would have something to do with keeping my hands busy. However, that could be farther from the truth. I got into sheep hunting three years ago, more specifly Dall Sheep. The greek word for Dall Sheep...dali dali ovis. You could say it should only have one "L", but I use the more known term Dall w/ 2 "L's".

Wacker is self explanatory, slang for killer/hunter.

Bodie · #71 (**permalink**) 02-06-2002, 11:48 AM

I love the old, historical town of Bodie, CA and the area around it (Bridgeport/Mammoth/Bishop). I take a couple of vacations each year to head over to these area to go fishing, hunting, camping and snow skiing.

Haary · #72 (**permalink**) 02-10-2002, 01:22 AM

My handle comes from the license plate of my 1970 AAR Plymouth Cuda. Dan Guerney's racing team, "All American Racing" campaigned the AAR Cuda's in the Trans Am races that year. So since my name is HARRY I chose the license plate of my AAR Cuda to be HAARY. And it is a HAARY Cuda....

RIFLEMAN · #73 (**permalink**) 02-19-2002, 03:54 PM

My handle also came from the license plate of my truck which came from a nickname I've had since I was about 12 or so. I would spin the lever action of my Winchester 94.

m57jager · #76 (**permalink**) 03-07-2002, 09:47 PM

My first name starts with a M and my last name is Hines(Heinz 57 steak sauce). I have German/Irish heritage. The word jager is short for the German word, jagermeister (master hunter). Not claiming anything, just expresses my love of hunting.

MarinePMI · #77 (**permalink**) 03-08-2002, 08:06 AM

Well,

I guess I should post this here before I start getting sidenote e-mails with "What is a PMI?" question. LOL!

While in the Marines I had the luxury of getting a secondary MOS as a Primary Marksmanship Instructor. I have instructed/taught God knows how many young Marines how to shoot/requal in both pistol and rifle on both KD (known distance) and transition courses of fire (transition course is a 600 yds walking, pop-up target style combat oriented course of fire). While I'll never to claim to be a great shot, I do know a lot about marksmanship, and am a fair reader of the wind and such. If anyone has questons about teaching new shooters, or just plain old basic marksmanship stuff feel free to give a holler!

Wheelchair Bandit · #78 (**permalink**) 03-10-2002, 10:44 PM

When I was in the 6th grade,I had massive surgery done to both my feet,which left me in a wheelchair for over a year.

Being stuck in a wheelchair with a 20 pound cast on my foot elevated 30 degrees meant I couldn't go to school,so I was issued a tutor.

We became fast friends and liked to make fun of each other.He made the joke that to keep myself from getting bored that I was robbing liqour stores in my wheelchair.We used to joke about it often,and then one day he said on my wanted poster down at the post office said "The Wheelchair Bandit" .I liked it and the name stuck.

bogwalker · #82 (**permalink**) 03-21-2002, 05:10 PM

I have a duck hunting/trapping camp on Hayward Lake in menominee county and its one of three lakes connected by waterways and wetland.The area between the highland is floating bog,and its been a part of my life for a long time.People always tell me you cant walk on it and I say,you can but you better know where youre going and dont stop along the way! But its a great area and the bog makes it unique so I took it for my name.

j3storch · #84 (**permalink**) 04-12-2002, 11:07 AM

Its two airplanes. I build airplanes as a hobby, my brother and I rebuilt a J3 (Piper cub) from a basket case. He flies that now.

I am currently build a 3/4 replica of the Fiesler Storch which was a 2 seat german observation/air ambulance plane used by the germans in WWII. It has (will have) excellent short field take-off and landing abilties. (I flew with the designer in Australia. We were off the ground in under 80 (yes, eighty) feet. Crusied at 75 mph and landed within 50 feet.

I'm years from getting it done, but when I do, I will have the best deer and turkey scouting machine in the USA.

Anyhow, thats where j3storch comes from.

A troll is someone who lives in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan (below the mackinaw bridge) and hunts/vacations in the Upper Peninsula. That's me.

killinturks · #87 (**permalink**) 05-22-2002, 08:48 PM

since i started turkey hunting i have had very good fortune and have found something that i truly enjoy. it sounded like a cool name but looking back on it maybe it might give the wrong impression. theres a lot more to the sport than just closing the deal on a bird, and some of the things i enjoy are interacting with turks, and just the peace and quiet. also i like the challenge

DoubleGun · #88 (**permalink**) 05-24-2002, 09:20 AM

I have always used sxs or over&unders as my main shotgun. so I go by DoubleGun, TwoShooter, or O/u.

tnctcb · #89 (**permalink**) 05-26-2002, 07:57 AM

mine is kinda long so bear with me cause everyone thinks its a cool story.when i met my wife she was working at a bar/tavern that was mostly regulars.if the people who went in there knew she was attached she knew that her tips would go down so we had an understanding that as long as she didnt get in a situation where there was problems i was just another guy in the bar.i worked during the day and her at night so when she was well... horny she would tell me she had to take care of some bussiness after work and that meant for me to stay up till she got home.this lasted for quite some time but soon all things must come to an end and people figured us out.they had one of those trivia type games there and would give away a free 6 pack per week to the person with the highest score so we started using tnctcb and the owner never knew if it was me or her so i usually got a 6pack a week.so tnctcb stands for tim n christy taking care of bussiness
