Explain your handle

[stag hunter]

In an effort to kill time before TC and to better get to know everyone here, what's everyone's name here mean?


I went to St. John's in Eashington, DC, and one of our biggest rivals was DeMatha. DeMatha is the Stags, hence, Stag Hunter.

[zorg222]

Mine was just a randomly thought up name.

It has no meaning behind it, sadly.

If I could change it I would, but now that I'm known at many boards(not always for good reasons :D) I can't really do that. :(

[SuspectCorner]

parcells appears to be a big fan of horse racing.

when he assumed the coaching "reins" of the cowboys he kinda became the team's jockey or rider - in charge of bringing in a "winning mount". and most of us know many jockeys go to their whips when they want to encourage their mount to make a hard charge - particularly during the "stretch-run".

hence, "tothewhipbill".

while i don't advocate the physical abuse of players by their coaches - i do get a kick outta the frequent tongue-lashings BP has been known to administer.

i consider dallas very lucky to have coach parcells.

[Qwickdraw]

I also consider us very fortunate to have to such a great coach. BP is the man. Period.

My tag is a "cowboy" sort of reference crossed with my love/hobby of drawing.
It's a tag I created when I used to do caricatures at Busch Gardens where I would have to draw a comical likeness of a complete stranger in under 6 minutes. Hence the term... "quick"draw.
And of course the old West term for a gunslinger.

[smashmouth]

Mine, I just like the way Roy Williams hit. It's like a smash mouth hit, and I love his play and thus*drum roll* the name...SMASHMOUTH

[billknows]

After many years of inferior coaching,I became sold on the old Giant's coach quest to play the "big room". His old school smash mouth style and sell your life to the sport I respect. He also named his daughter Dallas ,and one can hope that his dedication and time spent away from her may have healing significance in the end. Would love to have a sixth Super Bowl while Bill is here...Hence..Bill knows

[Big D]

Well.... You know!

[Qwickdraw]

Well.... You know!
Your referring to the size of your...



















dog? :D

[billknows]

The size of our defense, cool

[Canadian BoyzFan]

I am Canadian.....and I like the Cowboys.


No secret de-coder ring needed for that one.

[Scottishcowboy#74]

Likewise:

I am Scottish, I am a Cowboys Fan and when playing for the Edinburgh Wolves I wear the number 74 (after Mr Lilly)

[Banned_n_austin]

It's good to know you guys all have a good handle on things ...

[SacredStar]

Mine goes back to Terrell Owens disrespecting the star after his TD.

George Teague plowed him down, and afterward stated that the star was "sacred".

That star is sacred to me.

[THUMPER]

I have had a habit of bouncing my leg/knee since I was a little kid (I am doing it even as I type) so they called me "Thumper" after the rabbit in "Bambi". As I grew to be a pretty large individual with a nasty temper, and used to "thump" the crap out of people on the field, it was changed to "THUMPER" and I've had that nickname since my freshman year of high school.

[Yeagermeister]

My last name is Yeager and I'm part German also it has nothing to do with the drink :D

[Chuck 54]

My name is Wayne and my other name is Motley and everywhere you go online they like for you to put an underscore between them .... just in case anyone was confused :D

[SteveOS]

I'm Steve from OS, Operation Sports. Site in the sig. :)

[Sarge]

My first name is Sa and my last name is Rrge.

[Nav22]

Nav's short for my name (Navid), 22 is the # of my all-time favorite athlete (Emmitt).

[big dog cowboy]

I am the Big Dog and I am a Cowboy fan. Hence............

[KDWilliams85]

K - First initial
D - Middle initial
Williams - Last name
85 - Number I wore playing football/year I was born

[Zaxor]

I am... ZAXOR! (thunder-lightning)

I had another name once but it is long forgotten...I have used this name now for over 25 years..and thats probably longer than lots of you have used the name your Parent(s) gave you...

My biggest quarrel is with those who have since stolen this name that I've created...Since I started using the Internet back in...well lets see...I used it in the military back in the early 80's but commercially I guess since about 90-1...you know...back when a 800 baud modem was the Porsche... Since than there are like 50 Zaxor's on A(-h)OL, a Zaxor Software Company... another 20 or so using Zaxor on IRQ..etc..etc..

[JakeCamp12]

Jake - First Name
Camp- Short for Last Name Campbell
12- Tribute to the greatest QB the NFL has ever seen in Roger Staubach, and the reason I root for the Cowboys.

[Juke99]

I got very heavily into the Chicago blues harmonica sound...played for hours on end every day...listened to all the greats...and of course, Little Walter was my fav.

Each one of the great players had a signature song...Walter's was called "Juke"....I added the "99" because that was the year I first used the handle and because 9 is my favorite number.

http://members.lycos.co.uk/dubcitizen/blues/juke.jpg

[MichaelWinicki]

?

:D

[Hoov]

Hoov is just short for my last name and what most people I know call me by.

Juke, I like 9 too as it relates to completion, the end of a series and one of my favorite tarot keys "The Hermit" (key 9), which is what is pictured inside the Zeppelin IV album.

[Eddie]

I got you all beat ...

My name is Eddie. That's where I got the screen name. Can't remember anything else.

[trickblue]

"trick" because I am tricky... ;)

"blue" because it is my favorite color along with black... blue is my favorite color as a result of the 60's "bad luck blues" uniforms...

trickblack didn't sound as good anyways... :D

I have used this name for over 8 years now...

9 is QUITE the number...filled with all kinds of meanings and symbolism.

cwbyfan is simple enough. 72 is the year I was born to bleed blue and silver!! Even though the parents are Skins fans........how did I ever survive?

blue is your lone favorite "color" - 'cuz black is a "shade". :D

Odyssey is my name. coming up, fellas always wanted to shorten it. odog was one of the most common monikers. 4 is my favorite number and was my playing number, and 22 is for emmitt.

[Erik_H]

Well...

My first name is Giacomo, hence the first part, the H stands for where I was born. A hospital.

Reality because ..

2) Reality is used as a reason to justify any argument ..

3) Everyone wants to live in my world ..

4) Reality is sometimes funny ..

[CIWhitefish]

CIWhitefish is short for 'Coney Island Whitefish' which is a slang term for a condom washed up on the beach at Coney Island. I used it for my fantasy football team a while back and it stuck.

My kids names. My boy Caleb, and daughter Morgan.The first 3 letter of their names. They are the greatest accoplishments of my life. And, it was fun..........Well you know.;)

[Jarv]

I've been a fan of the musical group Yes for over
30 years,hence the name.

And you and I.....

By the way, Jarv is short for Jarvman who lives in Jarvland.

[28bringinthewood]

Darren is my all time favorite Cowboy... hence the 28

bringinthewood was what he did best!

:skins: :jints: :iggles:

[Tio]

Im your mexican uncle you've never heard of...

[notherbob]

I'm just another Bob among the millions of us.

I would have preferred to use my real name but I have an internet business and send my products to all states and am concerned that if my true identity were known, it would make it easy for some vindictive, crazed fanatic to trash my website daily and cause me no end of problems, just because we differ over some player or team - there are too many of those kinds of people on some sports boards.

Yes, I really am a retired ranchhand/cowboy, but now that someone else is bustin' his butt doing my old job, this frees me up to to engage in a little internet entrepreneurship. If you have never worked on a cattle ranch, some parts of you are still virgin.

I am part Choctaw and play the cedar flute, thus my avatar. I also know a secret about Kokopelli that no one else knows, but I will release the news when it suits me to do so. Kokopelli was my birth sign so he is the closest thing I have to a patron saint.

[Crown Royal]

My last name is Crown Royal Canadian Blended Whiskey and I am a redneck. Has nothing to do with the drink.

[LaTunaNostra]

Obviously, a play on La Cosa Nostra..Bill is "our thing", and no one else's

Also a little bow to Tuna's half-Italian heritage and his Jersey Wise-Guy persona.

[AtlCB]

I am living in Atlanta and am a Cowboys fan.

[Juke99]

Obviously, a play on La Cosa Nostra..Bill is "our thing", and no one else's

:)

Ain't no such thing as "half" Italian...you either is, or you ain't.

[notherbob]

Crown Royal -

I thought rednecks drank beer and had a can of snuff in their left rear pocket, but what do I know?

[LaTunaNostra]

:)

Ain't no such thing as "half" Italian...you either is, or you ain't.
Spoken like a full-blooded Sicilian.

:p:

It's funny tho, when Tuna says "well, I had an Italian mother"..because the anecdote that follows is always something about hard-headed, stubborn self-reliance, tinged with one big thumb-your-nose-at-the-world.

He seems to attribute his feistiness to "that half".

[1fisher]

1fisher = fishing is my hobby........I'd rather fish than work!!!! :eek:

[WoodysGirl]

kinda self-explanatory. I luv Darren "Woody" Woodson. That's my boy. Real class act. And I wanted something that would identify me as a female.

Edit: I was gonna say I luv Woody, but w/some of u horny toads on the board, I gotta keep it as PG as possible.

[Crown Royal]

Crown Royal -

No no no - you are correct.

They aren't proud of me.....

You are a wonderful testimony to Darren and the perfect name-bearer, WG.

Only fitting the classiest player should have the classiest fan wearin his tag.

We luv' YOU, girl. :)

[Falcon]

Years ago while traveling in England, I discovered my family crest. It bears a falcon, so I took it as a handle.

[Alexander]

Mine's pretty simple.

My first name and the name of the main character in my favorite film of all time.

[Waffle]

Contrary to popular belief, I did not derive my screenname after the ever so popular breakfast pastry. Instead, I play guitar in the Dallas based rock band, "Waffle" ...thus the name.

My avatar is usually one of our album covers.

:)

You betcha...I don't even consider myself Italian.

Interesting that his mom was Italian...that suggests a MUCH stronger influence than if his dad was.

Hey, any idea of what his mom's maiden name was?

Maybe I'm related to Parcells...

:eek:

[Trophy#6]

Well if you can count and figure what comes after our 5th super bowl trophey (and comes hopefully soon) then you can figure it out.

[Hostile]

LOL

The last time this topic came up two immature maroons took offense to my explanation and turned it into a lame inside joke. Think I'll shorten the story considerably.

It is a nickname from my High School football days. An opponent told me I didn't need to "be so hostile." My teammates loved it and the nickname stuck.

I like the irony of being a nice guy with a mean nickname.

[trickblue]

who really is the true queen of the board.

Juke... hands down...

[Ashwynn]

Ashwynn is a name I use in online gaming. I play WOW now, came from DAoC and UO. Before that, I played the paper and dice version since the 70's

It is actually my best friends brothers name, Aschwin, I changed the spelling to be more gaming friendly. Pple call me Ash in the game, makes it easier for pple to talk to me.

[ravidubey]

My first name is Ravi and my last name is Dubey and everywhere you go online they like for you to put an underscore between them but I hate underscores.... just in case anyone was confused.

Jem, so I guess that means you agree #88 was a better Cowboy than #30... ?

[royhitshard]

I think mine speaks for itself...gotta love the hard hits!!!

[Carl23]

Yuppers. Sure is. :)

[CaptainAmerica]

I guess my handle is self-explanatory. See my avatar. Roger will always be, imo, the ultimate Cowboy and the icon of everything that is great about "America's Team".

Sometimes he was referred to as "Captain Comeback", but to me I always loved the simple title, "CaptainAmerica". It truly symbolized everything Roger was to Dallas fans all over the country. We were truly blessed to have the priviledge of seeing Roger wear the Star and not one of the other lame team emblems in the NFL!

[Hoov]

A HotCarl.....is...uh...well.....a very dirty intimate act followed by what would normally be a very nice intimate act. Put the two together and you have a disgusting individual named after the disgusting act termed a "HotCarl"

[FanofBill]

I guess it's self explainatory. :)

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Not sure why I picked this handle.

[JBond]

Bond................James Bond..................

[Everlastingxxx]

This name has a few meanings but i'll explain one. Everlasting is a religious word used in the bible many times (came up with it when i used to be a christian). The xxx stands for everything that is dark and evil.

So basically two extremes put together, good and evil...i think best describes me.

[ndanger]

Bond................James Bond..................
I'm shaken but not stirred.. :D

[LooktotheFuture]

My name came from the idea that we need to get younger as a team and look towards rebuliding our once great dynasty which we are are in teh process of doing. Hence look to the future.

[blindzebra]

I referee basketball.

But some will say that is not why I went blind.:D

[HardHittin'Witten]

Some friends and I were watching the draft a couple of years ago. When we drafted Witten, ESPN was showing clips of him and he completely ran someone over. I called him Hard Hittin' Witten. He's also my favorite player on the team.

[AsthmaField]

My explanation is a little long.

When I first joined the Cowboy Forums around the Internet, I wanted something that would identify me as a true Cowboy fan. I wanted something that only Cowboy fans would understand. So I got the bright idea to use AsthmaField from something that happened in the early 90's with Jimmy Johnson.

Jimmy was known for running brutal training camps. He brought training camp back from nice, cool Thousand Oaks, California, to the sweltering, suffocating heat that is Texas in August. With Jimmy, everybody ran hard and worked hard.

This particular year, I think it was before the '91 season, it was even hotter than normal. I had gone to Longview, Texas to visit relatives (which I usually tried to coincide with training camp), and was watching a 30 minuet daily special report on TV about training camp.

While the reporter was talking you could see the whole team running laps, with Jimmy occasionally clapping and yelling encoragement. Then, one of the players, a skinny little free agent punter who had been brought in for camp competition, fell out in utter exhaustion. He was sweating profusely and really looked like he wasn't going to make it.

Johnson ran over to him and started yelling to get up as the other players just kept running by the pair. He didn't move, so Jimmy really started yelling at him, bending over to yell in his face.

The skinny little punter, loud enough for the camera to catch it, said, "I can't coach! I can't! I have asthma!"

Jimmy straightened up ever so slightly, and for just a second seemed at a loss for words. Then he yelled, "Asthma? You have asthma? Well, you can go run over there," he said, pointing to a vacant field next to where they were practicing, "that's where people with asthma run. That's the Asthma Field!"

He made the poor guy get up and go run over on the empty field. You could see him stumbling around and around the field while they were finishing the training camp special. Jimmy about ran him to death.

The next day, Johnson cut the punter. :D

Classic Jimmy Johnson.

Anyway, as I was about to sign up to the forum, that came to mind and I decided to use AsthmaField as my moniker thinking that Cowboy fans would surely know about the asthma field.

I've wished many times I hadn't done it. Apparently, the term isn't as widely known as I thought, because hardly anyone has known what it meant. Also, when I get in disagreements online, I usually end up being called wheezer or something like that. Just for the record... I don't have asthma.

So there you have it.

[trickblue]

My explanation is a little long.

/snip/

So there you have it.

I always knew where your name came from as I remember that incident well...

Still one of my favorite member names on this forum... :D

[MadCow]

Great thread!

MadCow - short for MAD(den) COW(boy)

Signed up in a Madden forum using this name. Tried to show my allegiance to the Cowboys with props to the video game. I though about playing the game online and using this handle but I quickly deduced that I'm just too old to be talking football trash to a 13 yr old.

[2233boys]

Easy enough 22= Emmitt Smith, 33= Tony Dorsett, Boys= Cowboys

[L-O-Jete]

I look and act like DanTanna.
So you're a pretty bad actor huh? Jk.

Mine is a play on words in spanish that roughly translates to "The mean SOB" which seemed to be a very popular opinion about me years back, kind of like Hostile, though I consider mine totally undeserved...

[GTaylor]

GTaylor = First initial, last name. What can I say? I'm a simple-minded fool

[davidyee]

...cut and dried, but talking to my elderly mother a few months ago I found out I was not born with that name.

So I guess for the last forty years I've been using an alias. So in homage to the younger generation and as a take the signature given by Hostile I will hence now be known as "Maple Grief".

Sounds menacing doesn't it?

But isnt your avatar an Asia album cover

Couple of the guys from YES formed Asia. The drummer and Guitarist....I think.

My handle used to be "that's6" for whenever they scored a touchdown that's what i'd holler to my brother. I'd get right in his face and holler it standing in the traditional referee stance, arms straight up and all... "count 'em....that's 6 baby!!"A thing of beauty. Pittsburgh fan he was.
Also my AV has a picture of my son who was for some strange reason doing the touchdown signal while standing on some boulders. I didn't ask him to. Somehow my account got screwed up and 6 wouldn't work so I had to go with 7. Can I fix that?

Mine is a tribute to Chuck Howley, ... one great Cowboy that went to West Virginia University. - - WVCowboy

Howley is one reason I became a Cowboys fan.
I loved watching him play for WVU when I was small, then I met him when he played for WVU(shook his hand was all), and then I saw him on TV playing for the Cowboys.

I loved him and the Blue Star, ... the rest is history. :strongarm:

Thank you Chuck !!

Is this the American version of Dirty Sanchez?

Actually the dirty sanchez is completely different from the Hot Carl. The Hot Carl is also known as the Charleston Heater or the Cleveland Steamer, with variations including the Pasadena Mudslide and the Seattle Hotpocket. I won't get graphic but if your curiosity gets the better of you urbandictionary.com has all the definitions for those of you who haven't attended junior high in 10+ years and your memory is fading...

I have two reasons for the name "Phoenix-Talon."

Reason #1 ...

The general definition of a Phoenix is a bird of paradise that dies and is reborn In the ashes of fire --the Phoenix is an Eagle-like bird.

As most of your learned fans already know, the Phoenix was indigenous to Egypt, appearing (according to the accounts of the people of Heliopolis) once in five hundred years. The Phoenix appeared in Egypt and furnished the most learned men of that country and of Greece with abundant matter for the discussion of the marvelous phenomenon.

Reason #2 ...

That's what Janet likes to call me :)

Ahhh........ that I'm getting old? Well, I did say that right up front. LOL!!!!!

She doesn't call me anything, she just elbows me in the side to wake me and says please.

Just kidding, just kidding, I am a happily married man, but I thought that was funny.

[CowboyDan]

I'm an outspoken Cowboys fan in Eagle Country, Reading, PA. One of the guys that works out at the gym that I work at refers to me as "Cowboy Dan" everytime he sees me, so that everyone can join in on the constant ragging of my team. Hence the name.

[TheSkaven]

Cool, we get one of these threads about once a year, nice to hear from some of the newer members.

Skaven is from the Warhammer universe - they are a race of half-rat, half-man sinister creatures who stalk the underworld. I'm born in the year of the rat (1972) and always liked the 'lil creatures, so I adopted the name.

Yeah, it's strange, get over it. :)

[HTOWN COWBOY]

I am born and raised in Houston, TX and I love the DALLAS COWBOYS.

As do most people on this board, I feel like I am a member of the DALLAS COWBOYS organization. I wish I could have had the talent to play football and wear the silver helmet with the blue star, man those players that play for the COWBOYS are lucky.

[Phoenix-Talon]

I have nothing but hate for the E-Girls in my avatar and sig so I don't need to change because the E-Girls have nothing I want

I meant no disrepect TC, I was merely making an observation. Nothing in your Avatar, nor your sig has a COwboz logo on it. It's alright to hate the Eagles -- you're certainly not alone on that one.

[slick325]

Slick- childhood nickname. was once Slick Ric(got it around the time Dougie Fresh and Slick Rick made "The Show" and "La Di Dadi" in 1986 or 1987) but as I got older it was shortened by teammates and friends.

325- born March 25th

[dallasblue05]

Well, mine would seem obvious, but it is more than it seems.

Dallas-I'm a huge cowboys fan
Blue-I'm in the Air Force (Air Force Blue)
05 (3-sided)-the year I joined this board, it is what I believe to be a break out year for Dallas, and it was my two year anneversary in the Air Force.

A little more complicated than you would think, but it suits me quite well.

[Cowboyfan81]

Cowboyfan = Obvious

[jobberone]

AOL suggested mine because every freakin name I picked out was in use. So I finally surrendered and used it. Not too trick but realistic.

[CrazyMonster]

Mine is my wife's pet name for my love wand.

[LaTunaNostra]

:)

Hey, any idea of what his mom's maiden name was?

Maybe I'm related to Parcells...

:eek:
Ha!

Juke, Tuna's mom's maiden name was Naclerio. (according to the Bill Gutman bio).

Parcells was of course, his dad's name. But his dad was adopted (by the sister of his 'real' mom who got married later to a guy named Parcells.) Bill's dad's birth name was O'Shea.

My favorite teams are the Texas Longhorns (I am an alum) and the Dallas Cowboys (I grew up there). My ideal player will have played for both teams. Therefore he will have gone from Austin to Dallas.

[stiletto]

Stiletto as in "Stiletto Viper" not a d4mn shoe or dagger like some people think.

The Stiletto Viper (Atractaspidinae) has a unique way of biting its prey. A venomous snake, it has long hinged fangs and is a burrower (hence it is sometimes also called the Mole or Burrowing Viper). In a confined burrow, it strikes by crawling alongside its prey, opening its mouth slightly, shifting the lower jaw away from the prey and stabbing backwards and sideways with one fang.

I used to be in a on-line gaming clan along time ago and we had various viper names for handles and they just gave me that one and it stuck.

Mr Spicoli, what are you constantly wasting my time.

Mr Hand, Ive been thinking about this, since Im here and your here, doesnt that make it our time ? certainly there's nothing wrong with a little feast on our time.

[BadKarma]

I have no idea why I picked this name. Probably due to me having sh***y luck with my ex. I remember telling my friends who had just gone through divorce that that would never happen to me. Chit, man - damn woman took me for all I had. Bad karma...

[MinnesotaCowboy]

Pretty simple......born and bred a Texan, Cowboy fan since 1960, but have lived in Minnesota for the past 27 years! Can't seem to get back to Texas except to visit relatives and friends!

[MadCow]

Honestly, I thought it had something to do with the mad cow disease... :p:

Who knew??:o:

I know. It's not much of a tie in to the Cowboys. But it'll do. Glad this thread was posted so I could clarify :starspin

[bbgun]

BBgun was my childhood nickname, even though I was never allowed to own one. Go figure.

[Fletch]

My "handle" is pretty self-explanatory considering my avatar. I have enjoyed Chevy Chase's witty humor and sarcasm since National Lampoons kicked off it's series of movies. And of course it's obvious that I am a big fan of the movies Fletch and Fletch Lives. :shades:

[WilmingtonHeel]

Great thread, Wilmington (NC) is where I was born Some people have never heard of this city it's a great vacation spot on the coast about an hour from Mrytle Beach. But Roman Gabriel, Clyde Simmons and some guy named Michael Jordan is from here. I played pop warner with Trot Nixon ( Boston Redsocks) against him in high school he went to New Hanover I went to Hoggard. Heel is beacuse I went to UNC. Walked on the football team( 4th stringer) so I know Coach Brown pretty well. How bout them Heelzzzz!

[jem88]

My first name is Ravi and my last name is Dubey and everywhere you go online they like for you to put an underscore between them but I hate underscores.... just in case anyone was confused.

Jem, so I guess that means you agree #88 was a better Cowboy than #30... ?

Fair question Ravi. Holt occupies a special place in my heart and he's by far my favourite defender of all time. Irvin is my favourite offensive player of all time. I guess I'd have to call it a tie, with the tie-breaker being that 88 is a cooler number than 30.

[RatisBeast]

Well, I had no name in my mind. So i decided to put Roy Will (short for Roy Williams :D) is ill (like beastie boys "ill" :eek: ) So Roy Will is Ill (not sick, well sick but not suffering from an illness lol)

[Wolverine]

Mine explains itself.

[Tass]

I started taking karate when I was 8 years old. Well, in the eighth grade I was on the basketball team and I was guarding the other team's star player. (I sucked on offense but I was a good defensive player.) I shut him down in the first half of the game and when the second half was about to get started he came up behind me and yanked my shorts down around my ankles. I was wearing a jockstrap and nothing else. Most people were laughing and I kicked my shorts all the way off and spun and kicked this guy right upside his head. (I was ejected.) The next day all the guys were calling me 'Bruce Lee' and the girls were calling me 'tight ***'. That got shortened to 'tass' and it became my name to just about everyone.

[Bobo]

Just my nickname. I probably should type it as Bobbo or Bob-O, since no one pronounces it like "Bobo the Clown". Since I mispelled it, I should just use my other nickname which I like better, Bobert.

No one has called me by my real name since I was born ;p

[wxcpo]

Mine is a combination of my choosen profession and what at the time was my rank in the Navy.

wx is an abreviation for weather (I am a Naval Meteorologist) and cpo stands for Chief Petty Officer (E7) if I could I'd change to my current rank which is Senior Chief Petty Officer (E8). But I have used wxcpo for so long now that's what everyone knows me by.

Multiple choice

A) Because I'm broke, and would like to be able to buy enough gas to get home.

I'd like to say that the 31 is because of RW, but there really is no reason for it.

[Irving Cowboy]

Mine was given to me back in the early 80's by a girl I went to school with... Right after the movie "Urban Cowboy" came out, she and everyone else knew that I loved the Cowboys and since my last name is Irving she started calling me the "Irving Cowboy", it was only dumb luck that the Cowboys play in Irving, TX.

Hey wxcpo, you've got a fellow goat locker member here, I'm currently an ABEC on good ol Chucky V... CVN-70, hence my location, Cellblock 70 while we are out here on deployment. I know several of your old wx (now AG) counterparts on here.

[Om]

Because I was concerned that

Oneness with the Supreme, the merging of the physical being with the spiritual.. The most sacred syllable, the first sound of the Almighty - the sound from which emerges each and every other sound, whether of music or of language. It is the sound not only of origination but also of dissolution. The past, present and future are all included in this one sound and even all that transcends this configuration of time is also implied in OM.

Might sound a bit presumptuous. :)

Okay, not really. I needed something that fit on a golf scorecard.

or.... if you prefer, in Jepordy formate, What is, "How you make a Perfect Storm."

Next question please, Johnny.

TwoDeep...It has been mispelled and mistook by many.

Defensive formation where the safeties play deep so nothing goes over their heads.

A play on words indicating I am pretty sharp.

You may agree or not.

[Bobo]

I can change it for you if you ever want.

Thanks. I'll probably keep it that way since I use it on other boards too. Or maybe we could just make an addition to the handle....Bobo, the guy that can't spell for **** :p:

[RoboQB]

Wow, this was an interesting read. I'm so far down the list that I doubt anyone reads mine.

RoboQB is a play on Troy Aikman. It has always been said that often the football would never touch the ground in many Cowboys practices. Also, Aikman will always be known for his accuracy. Me and a couple of friends used to joke about him not being human. It always seems funnier when everyone is in a drunken stuper, but anyhow I came up with "RoboQB". Only a blow to the head would jar a computer chip from time to time. Otherwise, it was completion after completion. A win and another Super Bowl trophy.

[lane]

my name is lane, there is a little town about 20 miles from my house named lane city. a lot of my friends decided that should be my new nickname, i guess. 1975 is how long i have been bleeding blue and silver.

[Dale]

I started posting online when I was about 14, back on the old TSN forum. I didn't want to use my real name, and was planning on making only one or two posts so I didn't care for coming up with a creative or elaborate name. ESPN was doing some story on Dale Carter at the time I was posting, so I just went with Dale.

I was unable to live up to my one-or-two post plan, and just stuck with the name.

[cowboygolfer]

CowboyGolfer. . . .no underscore for confusion. and no Magikal whatever either.

There is a long story and a short story.

Born and raised in Oklahoma, I play Golf.

But other than that I am a real exciting guy.

[Phoenix-Talon]

Mine is a play on my last name, Mars, the god of war. My last name is Marrs.

Since my name was derived from mythology, here's a little more on your handle ...

The planet mars is named after the Roman god of war, Mars was originally the god of fertility and agriculture but later became associated with war. In the future scientists hope to use terraforming to alter the conditions on planet Mars thereby allowing humans to live there. Some see Mars the god of fertitlity as a good omen concerning the future of life on Mars.
In Roman mythology Mars is the son of Jupiter and Juno and the father of Romulus and Remus. Romulus and Remus were the founders of Rome and this is why Mars is sometimes considered the father of Rome

[Phoenix-Talon]

silver because i'm a horse and my master is the lone ranger

http://www.iowalink.com/users/kbar/walk.gif


Silver's real name was "Traveler." The Horse's first master was Tonto -- who gave the horse to the Lone Ranger. Here's more trivia ...

...Silver#1 was personally picked by Clayton from the ranch stock at the Hugh Hooker horse ranch in the San Fernando Valley in 1949 for use on the show just prior to the series launch.

...The white stallion Clayton decided on was a very large mount that stood a strong 17+ hands tall and presented a very majestic image. This white horse, whose true name was "White Cloud", was said to be 12 years old at the time, well trained and gentle

...The second Silver(Silver#2) of the TV series was actually purchased personally in about 1949 by George W. Trendle (the owner of the Lone Ranger show at that time).

...Trendle immediately renamed the horse "Hi-Yo Silver" which he had registered.

...A third white horse was "rented" from the Spahn Ranch for the episodes featuring "Dan Reid", the Lone Ranger's nephew. Dan's horse, per the story line, was named "Victor" and sired by Silver.

Myths about Silver:
Some sources say Clayton's first Silver from the Hooker Ranch is the same white horse that Thomas Mitchell rode in "Gone With The Wind". The truth is: the white horse in Gone With The Wind was actually "Silver Chief" from the Hudkin Brothers Stables. Silver Chief had portrayed Silver in the 1938 and 1940 Republic Serials, "The Lone Ranger" and "The Lone Ranger Rides Again". Thus, it was a "Silver" but not Clayton's TV "Silver"


Another partially true myth is that Silver's real name was Traveler and he was disturbed by the sound of camera motors and would act up if he heard them. Truth is: There was a horse from Studio Stables that was a stand-in stunt and chase double for Silver, named "Traveler", used on the Lone Ranger show but it was Silver#2 that had the 'camera reactions.

HI Ho Silllvvveeeerrrrr! ;)

[JackMagist]

I got very heavily into the Chicago blues harmonica sound...played for hours on end every day...listened to all the greats...and of course, Little Walter was my fav.

Each one of the great players had a signature song...Walter's was called "Juke"....I added the "99" because that was the year I first used the handle and because 9 is my favorite number.

http://members.lycos.co.uk/dubcitizen/blues/juke.jpgExcellent taste in music dude; I love Littel Walter. One of the all time greats in Blues and perhaps the greatest ever on the blues harmonica

[Chief]

When I was a kid, my dad would occasionally call me Chief.

About 25 years later -- out of the blue -- one of the younger guys where I used to work started calling me that.

It's the closest thing I have to a nickname.

[silver]

I luv Woody

don't you
:bow:
LOL

[calico]

mine is from my favorite gun

[JackMagist]

My favorite genre of literature is Sci-Fi / Fantasy and in my early days on the Internet in the early 90's I was a regular on a Sci-Fi / Fantasy message board. One of the other posters there dubed me Jack-the-Magist (a magist is another word for wizard, mage, etc.) due to my general knowledge of wizards and the general workings of magic in the fantasy realms. I shortened it to JackMagist and it has been my handle ever since.

[kmp77]

K is the spiritual symbol for love. M is the spiritual symbol for maturity. P is the spiritual meaning for peace. 77 is a pure number that represents a person's oneness with the environment.




Or.....kmp is my initials and 77 is the year I was born. So whichever meaning is more believable :)

[CoCo]

coco is short for Colorado (where I live) Cowboy.

The 2 was added a few weeks ago when I somehow lost my password. :tantrum:

Can one of you mods help me out in getting back to just coco? :pray2:

[MissionCoach]

Great thread and an interesting read...

Mine is pretty basic, my tribute to my childhood hero and the backbone of the Dallas Cowboy's... Coach Landry, who was born in Mission, Texas!

[fortdick]

I live in Fort Dick, Ca. It is a little bitty town that used to be named Fort Richard, but the locals changed it when it was a logging camp many years ago.

It is most well known as the home of Pelican Bay State Prison, California's SuperMax.

[BIGDen]

"Big D" is an actual nickname of mine because my name is Dennis and I'm pretty big (6'2" 200lbs). Obviously, it's also a nickname for the city of Dallas. My original user name back in the day at the Silver Star was "Big D", but there was a guy that used to post there all the time and his name was "BigDBoy" and people would refer to him as "BigD" so I changed my name to "BIGDen" to keep the "BigD", but also to make it less confusing to other posters. Ask a simple question..... :D

[JackMagist]

Ha!

Juke, Tuna's mom's maiden name was Naclerio. (according to the Bill Gutman bio).

Parcells was of course, his dad's name. But his dad was adopted (by the sister of his 'real' mom who got married later to a guy named Parcells.) Bill's dad's birth name was O'Shea.Explains why Dwayne...err...Bill has no problem with just picking a name out of the blue to use.

[godofwar]

Phoenix, you have alot of knowledge. You'd think somebody so smart would know better than to be an Eagles' fan. :p:

By the way, gracias for the insight into my name. Pretty damn cool.

[JackMagist]

HeHateMe.

Self explanatory.Actually it's not. I have probably wondered about your handle more than any other on the board. Which "He" exactly is it that hates you? Why does he hate you?

Perhaps there is some pop reference culture that I am missing, I am getting a little old now.

Silver's real name was "Traveler." The Horse's first master was Tonto -- who gave the horse to the Lone Ranger. Here's more trivia ...

...Silver#1 was personally picked by Clayton from the ranch stock at the Hugh Hooker horse ranch in the San Fernando Valley in 1949 for use on the show just prior to the series launch.

...The white stallion Clayton decided on was a very large mount that stood a strong 17+ hands tall and presented a very majestic image. This white horse, whose true name was "White Cloud", was said to be 12 years old at the time, well trained and gentle

...The second Silver(Silver#2) of the TV series was actually purchased personally in about 1949 by George W. Trendle (the owner of the Lone Ranger show at that time).

...Trendle immediately renamed the horse "Hi-Yo Silver" which he had registered.

...A third white horse was "rented" from the Spahn Ranch for the episodes featuring "Dan Reid", the Lone Ranger's nephew. Dan's horse, per the story line, was named "Victor" and sired by Silver.

Myths about Silver:
Some sources say Clayton's first Silver from the Hooker Ranch is the same white horse that Thomas Mitchell rode in "Gone With The Wind". The truth is: the white horse in Gone With The Wind was actually "Silver Chief" from the Hudkin Brothers Stables. Silver Chief had portrayed Silver in the 1938 and 1940 Republic Serials, "The Lone Ranger" and "The Lone Ranger Rides Again". Thus, it was a "Silver" but not Clayton's TV "Silver"


Another partially true myth is that Silver's real name was Traveler and he was disturbed by the sound of camera motors and would act up if he heard them. Truth is: There was a horse from Studio Stables that was a stand-in stunt and chase double for Silver, named "Traveler", used on the Lone Ranger show but it was Silver#2 that had the 'camera reactions.

HI Ho Silllvvveeeerrrrr! ;)

Actually it's not. I have probably wondered about your handle more than any other on the board. Which &quot;He&quot; exactly is it that hates you? Why does he hate you?

Perhaps there is some pop reference culture that I am missing, I am getting a little old now.

In the XFL players had nicknames on the back of their uni instead of their last name and one player's was He Hate Me. I'm not sure if anyone ever figured out what it meant, but it did receive a fair amount of media coverage because it was just plain odd.

Just wanted to honor my favorite Cowboy from the recent glory years. Although he did get a lot of credit for what he did here I still think he was a bit under appreciated being in the shadow of the triplets. Plus whenever he caught a pass in the open field it looked like he was ready to fall over when he ran and I always thought that was hilarious. Great team guy.

I believe it was a refernce to "The Man"... The Man had him down... I think he had a bit of an authority issue when he was younger...

[QUOTE=kmp77]K is the spiritual symbol for love. M is the spiritual symbol for maturity. P is the spiritual meaning for peace. 77 is a pure number that represents a person's oneness with the environment.


wow, that's cool.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! kmp77

If being smart means not being an Eagles fan -- then I gues I'll settle for not being so smart after all;)

He = Everyone out there.

Hate = Abhor.

Me = Me.

Why?

Jealousy and envy. ;)

[Big Country]

I've used mine for a long time and the aardvark is also known as the "earth pig". I've worked in road construction for freakin ever. I'm used to working in the dirt and mud helping build streets and building pads, parking lots, asphalt paving, etc. Done it all just about... surveying, front-end loaders, water trucks, rollers, scrapers... OK, I'm now thinking about work on a Saturday... AAARRRRGHHHHHHHHH!!

[5mics]

"5 mics" is the rating system used by The Source magazine to rate CDs. 5 mics (or microphones) is the highest a rapper can get; i.e. 5 mics = a hip-hop classic. Nothing about the Cowboys; I just thought it would be a cool handle.....

[SultanOfSix]

Sultan = King in Arabic (I'm not Arab, but I know what it means)
Of = "Of" (Obviously)
Six = A reference to six strings on the guitar.

So I am "King of Six" while I play.

[THEHEREAFTER]

Religious term symbolizing HERE on earth AFTER judgement day/armageddon etc. "THEHEREAFTER" We live in a world of sport and play-- I just use this on every board to keep me grounded on what's most important.

Well Bud, acceptance is a giant step on the road to recovery. Evidently the road is longer for some than others. :D
