USER NAME / AVATAR Tell Us Why

[tmoran]

And all this time I thought it was LVF and the crook, thought you might have had a shady past!!!

That's exactly what I thought, too.

[mooster]

Bruck is a nickname I picked up years ago on my local (Detroit at the time) ham radio frequency. When departing the on-air conversation, I'd sign off with something along the lines of, "the preceding transmission is brought to you courtesy of the Voice of Bruck News Service." I later started a blog by that same name, which attracted about 2 dozen readers. I don't update it much anymore.

Avatar: outline of Michigan's upper peninsula, where approximately half of my relatives live, and which is the greatest place on planet Earth ...for about four months of the year

Damn. I thought that was a dead crow.

[mooster]

I was MarkC on puff; I went with mooster (my favorite cat of all time; don't tell the current ones!) as all my other online names are similar.
The avatar probably makes sense by now.

[Bernardini]

Avatar/Name the same: I used to work with thoroughbred racehorses. Bernardini was one of my favorites and the best horse I was ever around. I was struggling to think of a name for a different forum, went with this, and it stuck.

LOL
2014 she was a zombie!!

Does she do that herself?!? That's impressive!!

[TreySC]

I'm a 3rd so my nickname has been Trey my whole life and I live in South Carolina. The avatar is a poster I and liked in a B&M so I found a copy to use

[Ilroy]

Ilroy - nickname from high school. Started from taking the first letters from my first and last names which was ill otter, then my friends just shortened it to Ilroy.

Avatar - it's called a load toad. During my time in the Air Force, I worked as a weapons loader/weapons system on the F-16. Weapons crews were nicknamed load toads.

[Brimy]

Does she do that herself?!? That's impressive!!

Yessir!
Thanks. I was impressed too! Wonder what she's going to come up with this year?

[Bruck]

Damn. I thought that was a dead crow.

LOL I was just thinking about that the other day - not everybody would recognize that shape, certainly not many people from outside of MI. So I wondered what else would they think it is? Now I know
