Cool thread.

My last name is Smith and when you have a generic name like "Mike Smith" you need some kind of identity.  When I started college I worked at a place that had 5 Mikes and it was utter confusion when someone would call and say "I spoke to Mike".  One of my co-workers started calling me Smitty and it stuck.  Several years later I started my professional career and I worked as a afternoon drive DJ on a country radio station.  Guess what name I went by on-air?  Smitty!

I've lived in the Sacramento area for over 10 years so I added "sac" in front of it.
 
I have been around lots of places following my oil and gas job(s).  I have enjoyed meat cooked over charcoal or fire in Mexico, Venezuela, Uruguay, Abu Dhabi, Taiwan, Hungary, Hong Cong, Houston, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, North Dakota, California, Kansas, Louisiana, and probably other places I have forgotten.  It was all good and I totally stayed healthy.  Charcoal kills all those little critters. 
 
I am a bagpiper.  Bagpipers wear Kilts.  

The definition of Kiltie:  a  person  who  wears  a  kilt,  esp.  a  member  of  a  regiment  in  which  the  kilt  is  worn  as  part  of  the  dress  uniform.

I customized it as KILTy.  It's also short for "RealMenWearKILTS" which was my online gaming handle for years.  

Unfortunately, my temperamental ticker forced me into retirement from bagpipes and single malt scotch.  And since I also cannot have sodium, I need to make my own rubs and smoke my own meat.  Because, you know, not eating BBQ and smoked meat while living in Kansas City is bloody sacreligious!

Cedar Eater was my screen name on the first home-related forum that I joined when I moved to my house in the woods back in '00. It was ForestryForum.com. I was cutting a lot of northern white cedar down while making trails for deer hunting and putting in a garden. Cedar chainsaw shavings were ending up in everything from my boots to my pockets to my mouth. So Cedar Eater has been my screen name on forums related to things I do with wood from my land, including now smoking meats.
 
Wulfrunian is the collective term for people from my home town, Wolverhampton. Like New Yorkers are from New York, or Glaswegians are from Glasgow, or Scousers are from Liverpool and Charlotteans are from Charlotte.

Sometimes I go by Darth Wulfrunian, when forced........

I like it. I am a Wulfrunian. I am Wulfrunian and I very much like smoking meats.

Yeah, been taking pictures of my food since I learned how to cook...... and really they don't care as long as they get to eat what I cook......

Just started smoking but been cooking forever.......If you want I can change my name to Abby Normal ........LOL
 
I like puns, jokes, riddles, humor of all sorts. If ya can't laugh and have fun life is dull. Mark Twain once said "Be Good and you will be bored". Perryd is not only most of my real name but it's short for parody. Thanx and have fun!

I'm Dutch and people always mutilate my last name.... bad! So, over the years it just morphed into "call me Krooz" and it stuck. Funny - once I pronounce it everyone says - oh yeah - just the way it's spelled!
