How'd You Get Your Nick? (vanity)

I wondered how you chose your nickname, or even your tagline. I enjoy reading the wide variety of names and taglines, as well as some home pages. FReepers are very creative, and smart. I've learned a lot here!

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

You’re our kind of guy!! You’d fit in 100% over here in Fresno!

[N. Theknow]

Had a supervisor that was in love with his own voice (none more clever) his own image (Damn, that is one fine mirror) and was a master of stating the obvious and ending with, "And now, all of you are 'in the know.'"

As for my tagline, I have been in awe for many years at how the MSM has created, propped up, fabricated epic deeds by and made larger than life an entire family of dunderheads, ne'er-do-wells, boozers, dopers, mental midgets and mendacious miscreants and expected people to bow down before them and be enthralled by their every utterance.

[Jack Deth]

I needed a cool sounding name when playing "Quake", "Doom" and "Delta Force 2" on-line, years ago.

Immediately thought of Tim Thomerson's role in "Trancers".





Been using it ever since


Jack.

Your nick sounds like a British name, I wonder if you fell into a nest of English lefties (they can be brutal!).

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

You have a good looking family!

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Have I seen your haikus on ICHC???

My husband’s a Gibson fan, but loves the Stratocasters too! Is there a Fender factory in Corona, California?

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Your tagline rules!

Mauston is nice - I went to school in LaCrosse. Grew up in Richland Center, but was born a flatlander - in Peoria, IL.

[Califreak]

Gal, but that’s okay! : )

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

LaCrosse... what gorgeous country that is!

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Me too :)

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Interesting picture :)

What level baseball is it?

[A_perfect_lady]

I chose my name not to say that I am a perfect lady, but to remind myself always to be one.

It works till I've had a drink or three.

[knittnmom]

Oh yeah! They don’t call it “God’s country” for nothing! :-)

We live in Montana and I guess my husband thinks I am since he gave me my nick.

Thanks so much!

I originally chose mine to be as anonymous as possible, while still exhibiting a little flair. (the ‘ye olde’ style of spelling forty). Actually, when I first signed up, I did so, so I’d be able to edit the time zone of posts’ time stamps. That was the main reason really. (they were, and still are by default pacific time, although I think one can change the time zone even without signing up now). I had no intention of posting anything. Boy was I wrong!

I now kind of wish I’d put a bit more thought into a screen name. It’s funny though every forum I’ve ever joined, the nickname I end up keeping/using the most is the one I put little thought into.

Mine was positive (and wishful) thinking in October, 2000.

And my tag line shows that I'm still hopeful!

And I always thought you were a beer making dentist!
