How did you come up with your screen name?

I do a lot of fly fishing both in the mountains and the saltwater flats. as such, I only use Abel reels, so Abelman made some sense to me.

3montes, I'm sure glad your avatar is not fullMonty, b/c then the pic wouldn't have been so good.

I'm pack plant path, because I'm a plant pathology grad student (well, was when I came up with the name, graduated now) at NCSU home of the wolfpack. Unfortunately, we suck.

I've had several different screen names over the years, each reflecting my current interest and what type of site I was on. My current one I've been using for a while now as it's the name of my web design business (Pit Row Productions) and I thought it'd fit in well here... brings up images of long rows of bbq pits.... ahh... heaven.

teeotee · Mar 15, 2008

I've used this screen name for about ten years now. I had a motorcycle wreck and busted up my arm pretty bad. Had an external fixator sticking out of my arm for 6 months. I was also a bit of a trekkie fan as were my buddies and they made comments about me becoming one of the borg. Around the same time i had just gotten a third cat and called him three of three - hence T-O-T, thought hmmm that'll be a good screen name

snowball · Mar 15, 2008

When I was a youngster, my hair would bleach out in the sun. One day someone looked at me and said I looked like a Snowball. When I got my computer and needed a username, the name Snowball just popped into my head.
P.S.
Now, my hair is gone but my white beard keeps the name alive!

Regards,
Snowball

ncdodave · Mar 30, 2008

ncdodave is a shortened version of my email address which I came up with when I first got on line and set up an email account. ncdodave is short for norcaldutchovendave, as in my signature. Its a long email address but, some guy in New York beat me to just plain dutch oven Dave. We both are well know across the country because of your names. I've smoked meat and mostly fish for years and always looked up to all you professional competition smoking teams. Now I can learn hear from the greatest and someday join the ranks. As you can see in my signature I have a huge collection of Dutch ovens but, I am looking for a small smoking trailer and I love smoking meat which is the PERFECT fit to go with Dutch ovens. I live in Northern California so it all just fits me pretty well.

Okay, I don't how many responses there were to this, but I just read them all! Great idea!

So, on to my screen name:

A long time ago, when sipping a few suds, someone would always pass a little gas. One fellow would always say " Get yer gun! I just heard a buck snort!". Someone else would pop up with "No, that was just a barking spider!". So, later in life, I turned my garage into a home brewery. I needed a name for it, so that I could print up a few business cards, so that I could buy stuff at wholesale without a tax stamp, and just to make it sound like German, which was my favorite home brew style, I called it the "Barkenspeider Brewhaus". Who was the head brewmaster? Me! Buck Snorts! And after a few mugs of the stuff, the brewery and myself would earn our names...

I've gotten quite a few chuckles from this thread, and I hope you all get a grin or two from this post. And the next time you've tipped a few suds, remember to call my name!

Buck

domn8_ion · Apr 11, 2008

I CANNOT believe I've missed this thread for 6 months.
My name is Dominic, but some of my friends at work call me Dominator. I shortened it to Domn8r for my paintball team jersey. Then I started using a marker called an Ion.
After using it for a while I started making custom bodies for Ions. My website was "domn8ion creations".
Never took off for me, but I still like Domn8_ion.
Domination.
I like it.

k5yac · Apr 11, 2008

The ol ex-fix eh? Had one of those myself for about the same amount of time, but not on my arm.

This pic is from 1997... I was stationed with the Army in Italy and also crashed my scooter... pretty bad. In fact, lucky to be here. Do you still ride?

"hi" · Apr 11, 2008

LEts see.......hhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

When I was single, we would go out to clubs, bars, BBQ's or whereever the action was. Gorowing up in Southern California every girl thinks they are hollywood material or basically "to good" to talk to someone. Alot of my buddies would get shot down when approaching women....So 1 night my buddy and my self came up with something that was hilarious.

We would find the most attractive women in the club and just walk up to her, get her attention, usually just tap her on the shoulder........and say "HI".....then turn around and walk away.

1 of 2 things would happen, the girl would either look bothered and turn away, or they would have a WTF?? facial expression and sort of laugh. If they laughed, we knew we could strike a conv w/ them at some point of the night.

We would literally walk around the clubs telling girls "HI" and wait to see wha type of expression she was gonna have. A couple times we would even wait allllll night and just tell them "HI" thru the whole night, which would make the girl ask us, "ok whats the deal, all you guys say is "HI"...dont you wanna talk to me???

So the name pretty much stuck to me and I was known as "HI"

Thats me in the black:

and I also smoke some very potent green stuff :)

desertlites · Apr 11, 2008

Yup, I was figureing that was comming-though I don't anymore I used to supply from hombolt co.

"hi" · Apr 11, 2008

sweet, I gots teh medical connection and some nice Kush for the weekends

vegansbeware · Apr 11, 2008

Very Nice!!! I used to smoke too but got "popped" and since then, I have a family. Now I'm kinda glad I don't smoke anymore, I wouldn't have the patience needed to completely cook anything on my smoker, or I would just be too stoned and lazy to want to cook on it! Delivery was so much easier.
