How did you come up with your screen name?

[dionysus]

Long before I discovered the joys of true low and slow Q, my passion was, and still is, wine. Bacchus always seemed to be taken, thus my screen name became: Dionysus - Greek God of wine.

 

[shellbellc]

Nothing special here either, named after the Beatles song Michelle. In the song it goes "Michelle, my bell", so growing up family called me shellbell. Well except for the first couple of years my little bro had a lisp and called me elsh. The C is just the first letter of my last name.

 

[smokin for life]

Ok here goes.. when I lived in TX I really got hooked on eating "Q". When I moved up here to Philadelphia There was no way I could find BBQ like I was use to. So I told myself if I ever learn how to do it, I'd be ..... (Drum roll please) Smokin For Life.

[ajthepoolman]

Mine comes from three sources.

aj - my dad can't spell the name he gave me, Adrian. He always spells it "Adrain", so he started using aj. I liked it. Sure beats hearing "Yo Adrian!" every 5 minutes! (don't do it!)

the pool - Dad started a swimming pool business and dragged me into it kicking and screaming! I sold, installed, serviced and renovated many swimming pools and spas for 10 years.

man - I have a pe...whoa, this is a family forum! I am a boy.

When I set up my very first email account, I went with ajthepoolman as a handle. World wide fame and notariety have followed ever since!

 

[walking dude]

[ba_loko]

My nick...well, BA stands for my home city, Broken Arrow. The rest are initials. My wife is named Linda, and I am Kev. Our last name starts with "O".

I have the same username on various forums throughout the internet.

 

[gofish]

I used to play alot of online poker (not for real money) and GoFish was taken ........... So I went with Brown Trout. I really liked it, I emailed my Dad with the site link and told him to look out for that handle. He emailed back and asked "is that handle supposed to resemble a floating turd?" I replied back with a LOL, and said yes ...... dont tell Mom!

Well the reply came back "this is your Mother!" I still laugh about that when ever I log in to play a few hands

 

[walking dude]

WD falls outta his chair, holding his gut, laughing so HARD........

[Dutch]

When I first signed on with SMF my screen name was Earl D- Just couldn't come up with something unique at the time.

With a fairly large collection of Dutch Ovens, teaching DO cooking classes and Ma Dutch and me competing in Dutch Oven cook-offs, one of the "adopted" kids introduced me to his family and friends as the "Dutch Oven King" when I was doing some DO cooking at a car show and folks just shortened it down to Dutch. Figured it was unique enough so I changed my screen name from Earl D-

This past season, Ma Dutch and me have been doing more judgeing than competitive cooking though.

[urban griller]

Mine is the name of my Catering company and BBQ Cooking school, how did they get the name Urban Griller, it was about 7 gin and tonics and a couple of sheets of foolscap!
