Have you ever noticed that Sham always ends his posts 'gl' for good luck ? So I was reading one of them and realized that and then it hit me that his screen name signifies "Hi Bud, good luck." :idea:
Maybe my little epiphany is too simple and doesn't deserve a thread but I was surprised that for over a year of reading it I had never figured it out before. :gaah: Sometimes I am clueless.
With so many strange names and odd acronyms around here I would not beat myself up.
I bet you can't tell me what my name means?
Cool, most people figure mine out without much thought.
Jimmy,
You didn't know that???
:D
Thanks, that's pretty cool!!

Light bulb moments! :)
Thank you Jimmy!
I always wanted to start a thread on what member's screen names were,but I thought it might be too intrusive to ask,so I'm glad Jimmy got this one going.Of course,mine is just my name and birth year.I've wished I took more time to think of a good one,but when I signed up it was just a lark.Didn't think I was going to hang around long............
Anyone who wants to dish what their wierd one is,please do...
Although my username isn't thought provoking its my name and son's combined... Dean+Ryan=Deryan:)
Mine is obvious I suppose .... my name and my affliction .... the dreaded hone acquisition disorder. :boohoo:
singlewedge, so does that mean that you have shaved with those Rolls and Heljestrand straights with the wedge single edge blades ? I've always been curious about them but never took the plunge.
I just mashed my first and last names together, not a whole lot of thought here either.
lol Always wondered what HAD stood for, that's hilarious.
Is there support groups, for this particular disorder?
There is only one known cure :shrug: ;Quote:

I will explain from where that name come from.
I used to play chess i should go head and say i have plaid against world champion (of course i lost the game).
when i move to usa i was bored to death. i had huge culture shock and chess save me.
Internet was becoming more popular and a i bought in 1993 my first computer. i went yahoo and straight to chess club. i was spending every spare minutes in my life in that place by Playing chess.
At that time i choose that name Hi_bud_good luck.
later on i find yahoo straight razor group Lynn's first one and get membership. when i come this side i keep it same name.
Hi_bud_gl
Troublemaker....not you, him. That's what it means. Don't even try to guess what my nick means....Quote:

1. Noun.
a. From the ancient Hindi word "hlogvaceook" which meant "nine-armed menace", a hoglahoo is generally any disruption that may occur in any logical or sensible conversation or activity.
b. More specifically, the word hoglahoo can be used to identify certain members (and sometimes esp. non-members) of society deemed to be twits, morons, dolts, yahoos, houligans, cretins, yokels, and the like by any reasonable passers-by.
2. Adjective
Of or having to do with one who is a hoglahoo.
1. Noun
a. That idiot is a real hoglahoo; I bet his ancestors worshipped cattle.
b. Step away from that hoglahoo before your intellect is compromised and your sanity forsakes you.
2. Adjective
That was a really hoglahoo thing to say, Dr. Tai.
:) I like it!
Well, mine is easy. I'm so rich Bill Gates comes to me for loans. Har har.
^^^ sooooo what is it you do again?:hmmm::D
I LOVE this thread already!
I'll let some fancy a guess before I say what mine means.
If you knew me personally it would be easy, like all my nicknames my friends gave it to me.
Jimmy your a geniuse!
Hi bud gl very creative:)
My name's Alan. Wish I'd used, Alangl instead of AlanII though. Oh well.
Mine's simple. Sometimes I sign posts with my name, though not usually, so some of you may know my name is Karl. Karl with a K, Khaos with a K. Lol.
Can anyone guess what state I live in?
On another forum it was supposed to be "OhioCruffler" but got cut to just Ohio. I have continued to use it to maintain a consistent screen name on my normal fora.
So "Ohio" is easy. But OhioCruffler is a bit more obscure.

My screen name isn't very hard to figure out at all. :) My name is Dave, and I use a straight razor...duh :D
Might as well join in. I was told by a couple of people, a while back, that I reminded them of Joker on the movie Full Metal Jacket. Since Joker was taken on the first forum I joined I went with Joker75 which includes the year I was born.
My first non-rockclimbing related internet forum was a cigar website. I signed up for it right after law school. Smokelaw1.
Yeah, really creative.
Mine's pretty simple. I'm a bit of a billiard buff, and 8 ball is the game I play most often in league and tournaments.
Mine is definitely more obscure than most.
I started using some variation of it around 1986. It's based upon a character in a Frank Zappa movie, and my password is based upon something he has a big bunch of. I've only found one other person on the entire interweb that uses some variation of this name, and I'd really not want to be confused with him! I don't expect to be sued by the Zappa Foundation anytime soon...
I have a funny story about a sightless individual who called me on the phone while I was an AOL flunkie in the '80's.
In other virtual realms I use Bream Rockmetteller (and that's yet another story).
But, in the real world (and on Twitter and Facebook), I'm Charlie, as Silver Jones has already discovered.
"Alan F. Davis, the 11th"? :)Quote:

I thought his last name must be Monthan.Quote:
