frankhardy · April 12, 2007 12:51AM

I remember a thread like this a while back, but I wanted to start another one.

Explain your username.

Mine (frankhardy) - My last name is Hardie (notice the spelling). I also used to read the Hardy Boy's detective books when I was a kid. Since I am the oldest Hardie boy (my brother being a couple of years younger than me), I just chose the oldest Hardy Boy's name - Frank Hardy.

I'm a big Orson Welles fan so that explains the first part. I'm also a huge fan of Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. Combined the two.

Mine is sort of odd. My wife use to collect those stupid beanie babies and one of the first higher priced ones she bought was one called Stingray. So I have used that for a lot of different things.

Volver · April 12, 2007 1:08AM

I just like the way it sounds in Spanish. I saw the previews for the movie Volver (w/ Penelope Cruz) and thought it was a neat word - nothing more.

Means - to return in Spanish

Friends of my dad always called him Wazzy (our last name is Wassmuth) so I combined that nickname with my first name (Chris) and thus you have cwazzy.

You know for that to work you should probably stop signing with Lee in every post.

FavreFan1971 · April 12, 2007 2:03AM

Favre is for some player on the Packers that has been with the team for 15 years. He actually is still on the roster and gets decent playing time for his age. 1971 is my birth year.

PuertoRicanFogBank · April 12, 2007 2:03AM

My wife is from Puerto Rico (Fernandez) and we met as a large mass of fog was banking just east of Fajardo. Quite romantic, to say the least.

onlyanumber · April 12, 2007 2:14AM

hotmush · April 12, 2007 2:15AM

Mine comes from an art critic's review of the famed Canadian Group of 7 in the twenties. The critic didn't like the work, and likened it to so much 'hot mush.' The Group of 7 (seven famous Canuck painters) turned the word around and began calling themselves that (the Hot Mush School). Heck, I don't even like art all that much, but I thought the word sounded cool when I learned it back in college.

Blackborder · April 12, 2007 2:43AM

I think black bordered cards are the most aesthetically appealing. I started collecting 1985 topps football until I realized how hard PSA is on black bordered cards.

colebear · April 12, 2007 2:58AM

Cole is my dog's name and bear because he is as big as a bear (43" high and 120 lbs.)

So we call him colebear

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · April 12, 2007 3:18AM

Mine is actually a code that allows me to get everyones email address to sell it to spammers.

no its actually a front to hide my obsession with hoarding all the 1987 Topps Devon Whites.

jdip9 · April 12, 2007 3:27AM

j - first name James
dip - first syllable of last name
9 - my favorite number

Nascar360 · April 12, 2007 3:34AM

There use to be a TV show called NASCAR 360 showing the everyday life of some of the NASCAR drivers.
Well most of them live in the Charlotte area (Where I live + NASCAR HOF). I also loved the opening theme music.

Did you know that Vintage for NASCAR cards are three sets and made in 1972, 1983 and 1986. Modern cards are 1988 to present.

Working on Early NASCAR Sets (With Large Scans):
1986 Sportstar Photo-Graphics Racing
1988 Maxx Myrtle Beach
1988 Maxx Charlotte Racing

Mrcardsniper · April 12, 2007 3:35AM

My username is Mrcardsniper, Which has two meanings: 1st is when I was a kid around 11-12 years old I recieved a bb-gun as a christmas gift. So I began to shoot holes in most of my cards. Of course after I shot some of my mom's favorite Christmas orniments. 2nd is I love using a sniping service for my card buying on Ebay.

MantleMarisFordBerra · April 12, 2007 3:40AM

In my csae, I think it's pretty clear.

Munson15 · April 12, 2007 3:43AM

I am Samantha's Dad. Easy enough.

HeritageAddict · April 12, 2007 4:09AM

Colebear, what kind of dog is that? It's kind of got a lab head, but both the body and head seem a little leaner than the normal lab, anyway good looking dog. I've been out of cards since the late 80's and only within the last month or so have found a renewed interest, I found this site and have since bought a number of 2006 and 2007 Topps Heritage baseball cases, and the only justification I have left for buying cases is that I am still missing two of the 2007 felts, hence the name HeritageAddict.

TNTonPMS · April 12, 2007 4:12AM

Mine is pretty much self explanitory

I build chimney's and most of the time it's pretty much labor intensive , but I love what I do and I work at tripple speed .
One of the guys I work with, told me one day," Damn man , you're like TNT on PMS "

So I use that for all my usernames .

I think it has a sweet little ring to it

He is actually half lab and half chesapeake. He is a big guy but very friendly and good with kids, which of course is what we wanted. Anyone I will let him know that another person thinks he is good looking, he will appreciate it!!!

Thanks again

I went to Miami University (Ohio) = MU. The best late night food in town was sold by this old guy named - Chuck out of his "chuck-wagon". Chuck burgers with cheese and fries at 3:00 am were to die for!
