A tribute to an old & dear friend who's "serving his time in hell" ( Hemiplegic from stroke, doesn't even know who I am anymore... in better days, he was quite a Man- )
He always called me John R, to distinguish me from other friends with the same first name...
...like others here and on other boards I wish I'd been a little more creative or whimsical--
--during the late 80's & early 90's my wife & I went thru a RPG period ( Forgotten Realms, Might & Magic, etc. ) where we competed in a friendly way not only to win the games, but to outdo each other on exotic, funny, whimsical, or down n' dirty names for out characters...
Like "Hemmer" was followed by " 'Rhoid"-- you get the idea...
 
What else would you call a nearly 70 year old curmudgeon? Don't bother answering that I've heard it,and your probably right.
 
Captain Bligh, the literary sailor overthrown in Mutiny on the Bounty because I'm a sailor. My wife hates to sail with me so it just seemed appropriate. "The sail is blocking my sun...You're going too fast...We're going to tip over...You're going to slow...It's hot...Yadda Yadda Yadda."

I'm a mixture of nationalities, kind of a mutt. Then I found out poidog is Hawaiian slang for a mutt. I also like the group Poi Dog Pondering. There you have it. That and it's easy to type and remember. LOL
 
Ok, ok, I know you're all wondering, so what the hell does 'Fudgie Ghost' refer to anyway? Well gather round, and hear the tale. When I was in Laos in '68, my interperter---HA! Had ya going there for a second? The closest I've come to being in Laos is eating Thai food. No, when my son was about two and learning to speak he couldn't say. .. HA! That's not it either. Well fudge is kind of thick and heavy, and 'spook' is slang for a CIA operative, and since I'm neither (although my wife would argue with me on the 'thick and heavy' part)that's not it either. Ok, seriously, I was calling a friend in Harrisburg PA, (I know it's hard to believe that anyone would have a friend there, but actually it's a nice place)and when she answered the phone, I was trying to greet her in an off-beat way as she is rather off-beat herself, and it just came out of me, "Hey Fudgie Ghost, how's it going?" "What did you call me?!" she said. Anyway that's where it came from, I swear. It stuck in my head, and when I had to have a 'user name' in that other, ad-heavy, eye-popping, color-changing board that shall remain nameless, but who's name rhymes with 'Hooters.talk.com', that's what I went with. Ok? Fascinating, no? Now please buy my Ruger that's for sale in the 'Handguns for Sale' board, and let me get back to sticking more pins in my "Hillary" doll. All the best--The Fudgie Ghost.

Has nothing to do with the critters that slither on the ground, truth be told I'd probably shoot them. Have a fondness for the Colt line of revolver: I own a couple of Diamondbacks, a Python and an Anaconda. Hence the nickname.
 
I chose my handle because I though it would be a good "cover" -- I was worried about fitting in on TFL.

In reality, I am a vegetarian and would never shoot an animal. But I am always hunting for more ducks...my computer is covered with them...

Wonderful Off Topic Post!

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Quoted directly from my web page.
My nickname was given to me by a few friends back in the early high school days of computer nerd boredom. During lunch (and class even) we would often sneak back into the corners of our computer lab to play games when we should be doing other productive things instead. Someone had brought a copy of the most ultimate 1st-person shooter ever, DOOM. We quickly took to this game and played it every chance we ever got. Who could resist wasting the guy the the next cubicle over with a plasma rifle? At any rate -- I was notorious for using the rocket launcher against all odds. It was not uncommon for me to use the rocket launcher against my better judgment, often shooting people point-blank. Not only that.. but I had 2% health remaining, one rocket and one opponet... Who was going down, suicide or not. Hence, the nickname "kamikaze." I have since (shortly thereafter) decided to misspell it on purpose. I chose "kamakaze" because I thought there would be less people with the nickname "kamakaze" than "kamikaze." Boy, was I wrong. After discovering the Internet several years ago.. I found out that I wasn't the only person that had the same (personal) name or nickname as well. Since then, I have decided to spell it "KaMaKaZe" to distinguish me from other "kamakaze"s. On occasion, I use the nickname "k4m4k4z3" for other purposes.
I have recently purchased the domain www.kamakaze.net.

I would like to say it comes from being an avid fan of Stephen Hunter novels, but the real truth involves an incident with a pneaumatic nail gun.
 
"Pax" is the Latin word for "peace." Without armed citizens, no nation experiences peace for long.

Also, it's kind of a play on words: pax packs.

"Is there anything wrong with a woman preferring the dignity of an armed citizen? I don't like to be coddled and I don't like to be treated like a minor child. So I waive immunity and claim my right -- I go armed." -- Longcourt Phyllis in Beyond This Horizon by Robert Heinlein
 
Back in my early teens, I had a late-forming birthmark that eventually covered most of my left leg with hair as thick as most beards. It was embarrassing in gym class (especially the co-ed ones), and I came up with that nickname to make fun of it on my own. Now that I've been married 22 years and don't have to be concerned about single women and their reactions, the hair is gone. :rolleyes:
