Explain your handle

[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

 

[MapleLeaf]

...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?

 

[FolsomCowboy]

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

But isnt your avatar an Asia album cover

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Many of the locals refer to Albuquerque as ABQ.

I've been a Cowboy fan my whole life.

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

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?

[WV Cowboy]

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 !!

Me, TX_YID:

TX as I live here in Dallas TX

YID as I am a life long Tottenham Hotspur fan (English soccer). Tottenham historically has links to London's Jewish community and as a result of this most Tottenham fans affectionately refer to themselves as YIDDO's or YID's, even though the vast majority (Myself included) are not Jewish at all.

 

[stag hunter]

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...

Wow! I am getting old. Carl Palmer listed as drummer for ELP and ASIA rather then Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

 

[FolsomCowboy]

What do you think ELP stands for heh

See my avatar....

My Mustang from my drag racing days. Built to do one thing, accellerate. Hence the name onetrickpony.

I usually only use it on automotive related forums but my preferred handle on Cowboys' forums was already taken (SixShooter)

Emerson, Lake and Palmer....what do I win?!!

 

[Sportsbabe]

I love sports and I'm a babe. Some would say I'm a goddess. Sports is my passion.
