USER NAME / AVATAR Tell Us Why

[Bowtech4ever]

This was started long ago at the old home place, and would like to see the tradition kept alive. I did not see it picked up here. Mods.." Kill It" if I'm duplicating.

So many new names & faces (avatars) since we moved here. Some are new to me or you, some are new to Bum, and some are old veterans that just changed their identity.

When I finally found Bum, and received welcome from some old friends, it was weird ass hell coming from those that had changed one or both. It was like they had had plastic surgery, or implants, or...well, you get the idea. You don't realize how much you are recognized and associated with a little picture or eclectic group of letters and numbers.

For new members especially, I (we) would like to get to know you better through this thread by telling us a little bit about why you chose your avatar, user name, or both.

Here Goes..Ron White (my idol) no reverence for stoooopid. 50's, big eater, drinker, cigar smokin country boy with a serious love of well placed sarcasm.

Bowtech4ever....Avid hunter, took up bow hunting for a challenge. Was given a bow by a dear friend to try (a BowTech Admiral), I tried 20 more, and his gift turned out to be the best by far. Kept my user name from a hunting forum. Thank you all in advance BT

[gordo1473]

Gordo1473. A guy I used to work with always called me Gordo for whatever reason, and I was born on the 14th in 1973

My avatar is gonna be my next tattoo

[bluenoser]

Bluenoser- the Bluenose was a famous schooner built in my home province that was the fastest ship of its day. Bluenoser is a term sometimes used for people from Nova Scotia. Using it oddly makes me feel better living this far from home.

And my avatar... Well who doesn't like a cigar smoking, liquor drinking, foul mouthed cartoon robot.

[Horseshoe]

Horseshoe: I used to be very very good at horseshoes and I was top 5 in the world as a junior. It was a nickname given to me in school, and it stuck.

Avatar: SRT stick that kinda got me amped up and really liking cigars.

[JollyRogers]

JollyRogers--Nick name I picked up teaching sailing. Generally a Jolly demeanored guy, last name Rogers and a rum drinking sailor it all just made too much sense.

Avatar--Well me, in Baja Mexico having a beer before camping out near some cliffs in Scorpion Bay. I'm told it's a sexy pic... lol

Avatar - Thelonious Monk. I'm a jazz junkie, he's one of the coolest dudes to ever live, that's pretty much the gist of it.
