[WayneConrad]

Mom picked my first name. Inherited my last name from dad, who inherited it from a long lest of begetters. Somewhere way back there, one of those begetters was Swiss, and spelled it Konrad instead of Conrad.

 

[Molon Labe]

When I was born my father said, "Aw, he looks like a little Molon Labe." And so I was named.

 

[loki.fish]

Well....Loki because I've always had an interest in Norse Mythology. And I'm quite a bit like history says he is. Mischievous, a trickster, you get the idea?

And fish, because my buddies added it when I had just started going to a college. Freshman=fish. I've since quit so, I'm a statistic

[Diamondback6]

Mine, because I have what might be termed a "Rattlesnake" personality and pattern of behavior when threatened. First, I try to slither away, then one loud, clear, unmistakable warning; if it's not heeded, then the fangs come out.

[jashobeam]

My name is David. According to the Bible, Jashobeam was the name of one of King David's Mighty Men. These men were fearless warriors and could really kick some tail.

1 Chronicles 11:11 "This is the list of David's mighty men: Jashobeam, the Hacmonite, was chief of the officers; he raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter."

 

[FM2Wildcat]

First warbird I ever saw and heard as a kid. I'll never forget the noise and smoke it made when it fired up.
Here's a great pic of one!

[MisterPX]

Army nickname.

 

[ArfinGreebly]

My Uncle

My mother's younger brother, Bob, (only 14 years my senior) became an element of serendipity in my life.

He did things and went places that I would later also do and also go. I found myself being told by people who knew him that I could have passed for his son. All of this during more than 25 years of having not seen nor spoken to one another.

Late in his life he worked as an editor and sometime writer, using the pen name "Arfin Greebly" for some of his satire.

Uncle Bob died of lymphoma in 1993. I miss him. We were very different people, but he was always a beacon of cynicism and satire. By this time next year, I will have finally outlived him.

I use the ArfinGreebly handle partly to honor his memory, partly because it's never collided with another handle out there.

 

[DRMMR02]

I am a former member of the Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps. I was in the drumline, hence the DRMMR. And I graduated, and started marching in 2002.

 

[CrazyIrishman]

I got this handle from some friends during our teenage years. Back then it was a little longer w/ "other terminology" so I trimmed it!

A couple years ago I was informed that its really an oxymoron! (Gee,is that different from a regular moron?)

It's what my grandsons call me. Now just about everybody does as well.

 

[Mr White]

OK. Looking at most of the names posted here, they are pretty obvious. There are a few that became obvious after looking at them a little differently and a few that weren't obvious at all. Those were the ones I was thinking about when I started this thread.
