How did you come up with your screen name?

frybob · Apr 28, 2008

Mine is kind of boring. It is a nickname I was giving about 25 years ago by a guy I worked with. It is a spin off of my name. Bob Freiboth. How he came up with Frybob is beyond me but he always called me Frybob and it kind of stuck. Know one could pronounce my last name properly. The always wanted to pronounce it Freeboth. It is pronounced Fryboth. Along time ago in grade school I came up with a way to explain how to pronounce it by telling everyone that it is pronounced like, "Fry both eggs in one pan." I'm really suppirsed I wasn't nicknamed frybotheggs. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Bob
AKA Frybob

gabriel · Apr 28, 2008

Gabriel is just my internet name. I got it from some movies I liked. Gabriel was the cat in the Crow, loved that movie, and Christopher Walken was the angel Gabriel in the Prophecy.

I think I'm a little different than the avg person here on the forums since I'm not really into guns or hunting or any of that. I just loved smoked food and wanted to be able to reproduce that for other people and myself.

I do alot with computers and work for a major internet company and in a online Massively Multi Player Online Game that I used to play my main character was named Gabriel and I've stuck with it ever since. The only problem is that it's just a regular name and is usually taken when I go to sign up for stuff, which gets annoying.

- Gabe

Love the thread.

GEOB short for real name George B..... Use to be Tailpipe in the 70's when my son "Blue Max and I ran one of the largest BBS in the South called The Pitstop. Some may remember, if so you know that was before the internet and the need for a e-mail name and address. When that came along the Tailpipe became Geob.

mr porky · May 3, 2008

I used to work in a Swine slaughterhouse, and I liked the character from the Porky's movies. The name Porky was already taken so I chose it based on one of the character's lines when he says "That's MR. Porky"

williamzanzinger · May 4, 2008

My name is the title character of a Bob Dylan song I happened to be listening to when I was registering. Check the song out on youtube?

richtee · May 4, 2008

mr2channel · May 13, 2008

got mine many many years ago working @ circuit city...I sold the heck out of home theater systems, could hook them up in my sleep, know a ton about the technology...but never owned one...still don't...I love music and have tons of records (LP's ) and CD's, still prefer the sound of records..., had and still have a "high end" stereo...so the other sales guys used to give me a bunch of grief because I would out sell them and fix all their hook up screw ups...usually the conversation started out with something like this..."what do you know about home theater, mr two channel..." so it stuck, and I use it for all the forums I go to.

rivet · May 14, 2008

I was in a special ops unit back when I was in the Army. We used compressed-data sattelite rigs to communicate, therefore we had to keep data (words) to a minimum. Each of us in the team had an identifier name, but it could not be more than 6 characters long, and had to be unique to each of us. Rivet is a shortened version of my last name because my team leader thought it fit, since to him my head with hair cut crewcut short looked like a rivet. The name stuck and I haven't been able to escape it since. I have given up.

diesel fanatic · May 14, 2008

I'm in my 2nd Powerstroke, and I love tractors!!!!!

bbqgoddess · May 15, 2008

It was about 6/7 years ago, I was watching the Food Network, they did a show on one of the Big BBQ Compititions, 4 man teams smoking on huge bbq's Giant pigs for days....I saw that and was so hooked, that year for New Years I recruited a few of the hubbys on my block to help me smoke a pig. I then bought my bbq, then finally found a suckling pig (not easy around these parts) when I got the piggy home, realized "Houston we have a problem" he would not fit on my new bbq!
OPPS, so determined to do this, I did a little research and built an above ground pit. We smoked tha pig for about a day and a half, but come New years Eve we had a ton of peeps come over for the block party, and the meat was fantastic....Then and there I was deemed Bbq Goddess...
I still am learning, this is a long process when you have to raise a family too....if i could i would bbq every day! Most of my peeps do not understand how I can be so passionate about cooking...you all do, finally, peeps who get it!!!

gobbledot · May 15, 2008

I hunt ducks in Mecca, CA...its the closest thing to Mexico Ive seen outside of Mexico. In Espanol, Pato=Duck, and I started my smoking career on delicious duck breastesses.

smokeywray · May 15, 2008

Wray is my middle name. The middle name "ray" is a tradition for males on my fathers side of the family. Supposedly my great grandfather said the "W" makes your name look more sophisticated (Ex. George W. Bush) so the name "ray" changed to "Wray" sometime in the mid 1900's. Usually, the first born male will carry this middle name... I had a daughter first so I named her Alivia Rae. She will hopefully keep the tradition alive and name her first son after me!

I have a dream to open a BBQ restaraunt sometime in the future. I've already picked the name; Livi Rae's BBQ. My sauces all have names. Right now I have "Livi Rae's Spicy Q", "Livi Rae's Honey Q" and "Livi Rae's Sweet and Sassy Q."

yankee2cajn · May 15, 2008

I am from Indiana and moved down to Louisiana. All of my friends called me yankee, so thats the connection. I have a green card because I married someone from here so they let me stay.

meatballtn · May 15, 2008

When I was a lowly apprentice the guy i was working with said i looked like a big fat meatball, the meatball part stuck. the tn comes from Tennessee, where I now live.

texas smiter · May 17, 2008

First part is I live in Austin Texas.

Second part...well.. a little more revealing.
I play online vid games at times.. and like to play what is
commonly referred to as a priest class. Sort of my real life
persona in some ways. WEll... one of the things this priest
can do is to have big asss divine lightning bolts
slam down and SMITE my opponents on the heads.
Hence... Texas Smiter.

Yeah,, i know.. bit of a computer geek here.
Afterall, I am from Austin TX.. one of the most
wired cities in the nation, not ot mention DELL
computers.

"Smiter"... also close to "Smoker"..
and hoping to zap some Q
with divine influences!

t-roy · Jun 7, 2008

names Troy. Lots of friends over the years have called me "tee-roy". So that's my user name here and two other music collecting forums (firestream.net and heart of metal).

I know...that totally threw all of you??!
