What does your screen name/ID stand for?

  • My favorite soda growing up was Canada Dry Ginger Ale. I drank it so much, my friends used to call me CD for short. So when I went to open my candy and nut store, I called it CD's Nuts. We had cashews, peanuts, pecans, walnuts, pistachios, any kind of nut you could think of.

    It's his way of being clever because if said fast it sounds like see these nuts.

    Sure, make all the jokes you want, but I supported my family for 10 years with that store.
  • KRAHTE = K RAH TE' = Karate
    I got stuck with the nickname K RAH TE' about 10 years ago when an old story of when I was in a fight in a school yard (the fight was in about 1982 or 1983) one of my friends (that I knew back then and still know to this day) said that I used the Krane/Crane technique (Ralph Machio) in the fight that I was in - and from that day forward they started calling me Karate Kid , Kung Fu Fighting , Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and a million other martial arts related nicknames. then K RAH TE' stuck. And I dont think I can use a single quote in my user name.

    So do I, once I was shooting skeet and part of the clay fell on a waterhose that was near the pit. I was going make my screen name "Skeet on hos" but I went with Allen instead.

  • We have 4 kids under the age of 12 and they do some of the craziest things. We watch them do some things are there are no reasonable explanations. Hence the name no answers only questions.

    My nickname in college was Dr. Von Schlong. That's a mouthful (no pun intended) so it got shortened to The Von.

  • Well,

    I shoot sporting clays, skeet is considered pretty easy. The hardest shooting disciple is sporting. I just got the call today that I made team USA for 2008, so I can hold my own.... We have a Team USA qualifier in Orlando this weekend. At least they know how to pick 'em, er where to put 'em. My fav trip was always Miami because we'd play poker all night at the Miccosukee and the shooting club was literally across the street! No rental car needed. But alas, they closed the shooting range three years ago image

    I'd like to give it a whirl, I had a buddy in college named Paul Uribe who did a bit of sport. Had a couple of gorgeous trophy Benelli and Rizzini shotguns too, amazing file work on both. For now, I shoot gen 3 Glock 9-19s, Sig Sauers, M-4s, M-16...nothing overly sporty about them, although there is a championship 9mm division, basically law enforcement.

    My name is Shane Hardie (with an "ie" at the end). I have a younger brother named Phil. We were a pretty good tandem on the basketball court. People called us "The Hardie Boys". Growing up, I used to read "The Hardy Boys" books. The oldest Hardy Boy was named Frank Hardy. I just sort of put those two things together and came up with "frankhardy".

  • My ebay name and my website, my very, very neglected website. All came about from my favorite player (love or hate him) Pete Rose. The icon is courtesy of another board member who let me use a scan of his 67 Topps Stand Up. Even though those are out of my reach, those have become my absolute favorite card design.

  • Mine is an alter ego that a fellow band member created for me. The band was around for about 3 years, made a cd, and now we're done. Too old I guess. People still listen to, and ask for, our cd though. Now I just sit in our studio and record mostly.

    I have three dogs, all Whippets, which normally run bout 30 lbs. One of them is closer to 40 lbs and was just big from birth and so I just started calling her a "moose". It stuck and MooseDog had a nice ring to it. I name all my fantasy teams MooseDogs now.
