How'd Ya Git Yer Username

[Okrafarmer]

Chain...an everyday tool for me when working on the farm or forest. A man of many chains, I am.

I live several miles south of the Columbus-Belmont, Kentucky State Park. This park is located on the east bluff of the Mississippi river south of Cairo, Il.

My parents live in western Kentucky. They just moved there two years ago. It's beautiful there.

Delaware, the first state to ratify the Constitution. But if you ask most people outside the mid atlantic area, they'll say, "Dela-where? Oh yeah, that's a county in Pennsylvania, right?".............. :-\

John gets really old after 40+ years..... Too many "Johns" around. Needed a change of pace......

My freshman year of college, I was overwhelmed by all the new people. I had a hard time remembering people's names, or when I had met them. My sophomore year, even worse. New classes, new roommates, etc. So my sophomore year I always introduced myself by my initials. That way whenever anybody said, "Hey, ---" I could tell whether I had met them my freshman or sophomore year, so that helped me to remember how long I had known them, which helped me to remember the context. At least that was what I was hoping. My third year, I gave up on the idea and went by my name again, but I was still able to tell the people who had met me for the first time the year before. . . .

[BBTom]

I signed up with my name, but Jeff thought it was too long for normal use.  So our esteemed leader is the one that shortened "Tom Baumberger" to "BBTom". 

If he had any a reason for putting my last name first and first name last, he never told me.

Hmm! or was He thinking Berger/Baum/Tom Just a thought  8)

[Magicman]

Just think, if he had known about your Maple Syrup talent, you could have been MS Tom.  But then that would have been your wife's name.   :

And people would have thought he/she lived near you.

[Cypressstump]

Mine, cuz after telling a coworker of my interest in the remains of old growth virgin cypress stumps left in the swamps of my property, how wide spaced they were and wonderment of what the ancient trees must have looked like during the days before logging, he referred to me as the "Cypressstump" man to people at his going away dinner. That was 2 days before me finding this forum,,, so I thought it fit well.

I honestly have no recollection of that.

[Misfit]

Travelled to a lot of different countries and lived in a few different ones too. My friends kept referring to me as the Canuck since I was born and raised in PEI, Canada.

Plus I don't have the imagination to come up with anything clever and "Bull-headed S.O.B." might not have made Jeff's cut.  ;D

Guess the first part of this doesn't apply anymore since I changed my username. Misfit is how I've always viewed myself as far as fitting in with family life and "normal" society. I seem to feel comfortable on this forum though.....hmmmmm..

:D  Time has a way of doing that to us Jeff! Or is it age?

No matter its a good name for you BBTom. Jeff is a good guy even if he dont remember.

[Mark Wentzell]

Seeing this thread makes me wish I had picked something more creative.    :D

[Okrafarmer]

Maybe you could change your name, like the Misfit Canuck.

:D  :D  :D

I like you, Okra; you're a goof like me.  8)

[BBTom]

Jeff, It has been over 10 years since you did that, so I don't expect you to remember, but if you look at my profile it still shows my username to be "tombaumberger".

I tell people that I have a bad case of CRS disease, cause I "Can't Remember Sh uh.. Stuff" 

[gspren]

  For the many years that I worked for the Army Research Laboratory they told me what user name to use, first initial and first five of last name Gary Sprenkle = gspren. After using it for all those years I couldn't see changing, that would require thinking!

[Tree Killer]

................It's a livin.........

[thecfarm]

We have many new members since and I reread back through the replies.

[WV Sawmiller]

    When i found out about this site about 3+ years ago and signed up it just seemed like the handle to go by given my new venture since retirement was not keeping me busy enough.

   BTW - I'm still trying to figure how Tree Killer shows up as 117 years old. Now that is a goal to work towards! Then again, his last post on this tread was 5 years ago.

[coxy]

[Bruno of NH]

My Dad called me Bruno in front of my best friend when I was 14 years old it stuck
In high school some people thought it was my real first name.

[78NHTFY]

In honor of my old man: 1978 New Hampshire Tree Farmer of the Year.  He would have loved this Forum!! All the best, Rob.

[Stoneyacrefarm]

Mine is pretty self explanatory.  :D

[Woodcutter_Mo]

I tried several user names when I was registering on the forum but none worked so I just made this one. I do cut a bit of wood and I live in Missouri. Simple as that  ;D

[Logger RK]

Well,I'm a Logger & My first names Rick. But I do wish I would've used a big L in Logger though. But this is the first forum iv been on.
